OET (OET-LV) No_longer be_drinking_water only, but be_giving_treatment with_ a_little _wine, because_of your stomach and the frequent sicknesses of_you.

OET (OET-RV) Don’t carry on just drinking only water, because a little bit of wine might be good for your stomach and help with your frequent bouts of sickness.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–6:2: Paul told Timothy how to treat different groups of believers

Paragraph 5:23

Paul told Timothy in 5:22c to keep himself pure so that he could appoint elders effectively. In this paragraph he made a brief comment to Timothy about wine. Then he resumed his instructions in 5:24 about appointing elders.

5:23a

Stop drinking only water and use a little wine instead,

Stop drinking only water and use a little wine instead: During the time when Timothy lived, people frequently drank wine. However, if a person drank too much wine, he would become drunk. See the note on 3:8b.

Apparently Timothy had only been drinking water and not drinking any wine. Paul told him that to drank a little wine as medicine was acceptable.

little: Paul did not define how much “wine” Timothy should drink, but it was a small quantity. It was not enough to make Timothy drunk.

5:23b

because of your stomach

5:23c

and your frequent ailments.

5:23b–c

your stomach and your frequent ailments: There are two ways to interpret these words:

  1. These expressions refer to the same thing. That is, Timothy’s frequent illnesses were stomach problems. For example, the GNT says:

    to help your digestion, since you are sick so often (GNT, NLT, GW)

  2. These expressions refer to different illnesses. In addition to Timothy’s stomach problems, he was also often sick with some other illnesses. For example, the CEV says:

    your stomach trouble and the other illnesses you always have

Other versions are a little ambiguous, but most likely follow interpretation (2).

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). The illnesses were stomach problems that go away when people drink a little wine.

General Comment on 5:23a–c

In some languages it may be helpful to reorder this verse. For example:

Because your stomach makes you ill so often, try drinking a little wine instead of only water.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἴνῳ ὀλίγῳ χρῶ

˱with˲_wine ˓a˒_little ˓be˒_giving_treatment

Here Paul means that Timothy should have a little wine in addition to the water he was drinking. In Paul’s culture, people believed that wine could help with certain physical problems and illnesses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [also use a little wine as medicine]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

διὰ τὸν στόμαχον καὶ τὰς πυκνάς σου ἀσθενείας

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μηκέτι ὑδροπότει ἀλλά οἴνῳ ὀλίγῳ χρῶ διά τόν στόμαχον καί τάς πυκνάς σοῦ ἀσθενείας)

Paul does not imply what kind of stomach problems and illnesses Timothy was experiencing. However, it is clear that Paul thought that a little wine would help with these problems. Since Paul does not state what kind of health problems Timothy was having, you should use general terms for stomach problems and sicknesses. Alternate translation: [because of your digestion problems and your frequent sicknesses]
