1 Timothy 3
1 This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires a good work.
Wapham asi achumbani: Kanagumba mi amana singlup amagi luchingba ama oiba pamlabadi, mahakna aphaba thabak amabu pamlabani.
2 The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;
Singlupki luchingba ama haibasi mingchat thiningai oiba amakpa leitaba mi, mahakki nupida thajaba yaba oiba, ka hendaba, masa khudum chanjaba, ikai khumnabada matik chaba, lamlanbasingbu mayumda taramna okpa amadi tambiba ngamba mi ama oigadabani;
3 not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
mahak yuda luppa amadi tamthiba mi ama oiroidabani, adubu pukning tappa, khatnagandaba amadi sel pamgandaba mi ama oigadabani.
4 one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;
Mahakki imung manungbu ningthina yengsinba ama oigadabani aduga mahakki angangsingna mahakpu ikaikhumnabaga loinana mahakna haiba inba haibadu oihan-gadabani.
5 (for how could someone who does not know how to rule his own house take care of God’s assembly?)
Maramdi kanagumbana masamakki imung manungbu karamna yengsin-gani haiba khangdrabadi mahakna karamna Tengban Mapugi singluppu ngak-sen-gadage?
6 not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
Mahak nouna thajarakpa mi ama oiroidabani, nattrabadi mahakna napan touduna chaothoklaklabadi Devil-da takhiba wayel adumak mahaksu taba yai.
7 Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.
Singlupki mi nattabasingna ikaikhumnaba misak ama oigadabani madu oirabadi mahak ikaiba nangduna Devil-gi langda taba haibadu oiraroi.
8 Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money,
Adugumduna, singlupki thougal toubasingsu aphaba lichat chatpa amadi pukchel sengba mi oigadabani; makhoi yuda luppa nattraga selda karamba mi oiroidabani;
9 holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
asengba achum aran khangba pukningga loinana phongdokpiraba thajabagi oiba achumba adubu makhoina chetna paiba oigadabani.
10 Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.
Ahanbada makhoibu chang yenggadabani, maduda makhoina mai paklabadi makhoina singlupki thougal tousanu.
11 Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, and faithful in all things.
Makhoigi nupisingsu adugumna aphaba lamchat chatpa amadi miwa ngangdaba oigadabani; ka hendaba amadi maram khudingda thajaba yabi oigadabani.
12 Let servants be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
Thougal toubasing adu nupi amakhaktagi mapuroiba oiba, machasing amasung imung manungbu ningthijana yengsinba ngamba mi oigadabani.
13 For those who have served well gain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Ningthina thougal toubasing aduna makhoi masagidamak aphaba mingchat phangjaduna Christta Jisuda leiba makhoigi thajaba adugi maramda thouna phana ngangba ngammi.
14 These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly,
Eina nahakki nanakta yamna thuna lakkani haiba asa tourabasu, eina nangonda waphamsing asi iri.
15 but if I wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in God’s house, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
Adubu karigumba eihak thengtharaklabadi, Tengban Mapugi imung manung haibadi achumbagi yumbi amadi ngaklou oiriba ahingba Tengban Mapugi singlupta karamba machat chatkadage haibadu chithi asina nangonda khanghan-gani.
16 Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.
Eikhoigi laininggi athuppa asi kayada chaokhrabano haiba asi kana amatana yadaba ngamloi: Ibungo mahak asi mioiba amagi saktamda phongdokpire, Thawai aduna achumbani haiba utpire, swargadutsingnasu ujare. Ibungo mahakpu phurupsinggi marakta sandokle, taibangpan-gi mapham pumnamakta thajare, amasung swargada loukhatpikhre.
