Deuteronomy 5:16 tells us to honor our parents so that we may live long and so things will go well with us. No age limit is specified, which leads us to believe that as long as our parents are alive, we should honor them. Of course, once a child reaches adulthood, he is no longer obligated to obey them (“Children, obey your parents...”), but there is no age limit to honoring them.
Kumbukumbu la Torati 5:16 inatuambia tuheshima wazazi wetu ili tupate kuishi kwa muda mrefu na hivyo mambo kutwendea vizuri. Hakuna kikomo maalum cha umri kimetajwa hapa ambayo itatufanya kuamini kwamba ili muradi tu wazazi wetu wako hai, lazima tuwaheshimu. Bila shaka, mara tu mtoto afikapo utu uzima, yeye hawajibiki tena kuwatii ("Watoto, watiini wazazi wenu..."), lakini hakuna kikomo kwa umri wa kuwaheshimu.
