1 Timothy 3
1 This is a trustworthy saying: If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble task.
Si jvjvnv gaam mv: yvvdw gvrja nga rigvdogv nvgobv rinwng doodw, hv achialvbv alvnv kudungkua nga rinwng kunam mv.
2 An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
Gvrja nga rigvdogvnv nyi hv rigakpama nvgobv rirungdubv ridu; hv nywng akin mvngdubv ridu, hv himasunv gubv, saktv nvgobv okv hinlwkkaalwk nvgobv rirungdubv ridu; hv nyebunyi a atubogv naam lo alvbv aamu nvgobv rirungdubv ridu; hv tamsar lanv gobv rirungdubv ridu;
3 not dependent on wine, not violent but gentle, peaceable, and free of the love of money.
hv tvngkium dvkium nvgobv vmalo yalungyachung dunv gubv rirung mase ngv, vbvritola damdv okv sarsopoyo nvgobv rirungdubv ridu; hv morko nyilin nvgobv rimarungdubv ridu;
4 An overseer must manage his own household well and keep his children under control, with complete dignity.
hv atubogv vpin ha alvbv nyingji lanv gubv rirungdubv ridu okv ninyigv kuu vdwa ninyia ogumvnwnglo mvngdv jinam gubv rirungdubv ridu.
5 For if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for the church of God?
Vkvlvga nyiga gunv atubogv vpin ha nyingji nyuma nvngv hv oguaingbv Pwknvyarnv gv gvrja nga rigvdogv nyuladubv?
6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same condemnation as the devil.
Hv mvngjwnglo kamnv gubv ridubv rirungdunv, ogulvgavbolo hv Uyudvbv aingbv rila goosula miakaya koola gilu nvgobv rima dubv.
7 Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil.
Hv hinying paamanam lvgabv bv okv Uyudvbv gv amin lo holwk manam lvgabv hv gvrja arwnglo okv agum lojvka nyi vdwgv mvngdvnam gubv rirungdubv ridu.
8 Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued or given to much wine or greedy for money.
Gvrja lo riduryanv ka alvnv nyi bv okv hindum sinv gubv rirungdubv ridunv; bunu achialvbv anggor ala tvngkium nvbv morko dvgum nvbv rima rungdubv ridu;
9 They must hold to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
Bunu ogu mvngbwkgolo manam kaamabv mvngjwng gv jvjv nga kaatam nama gakbwngchvkwng nvbv rirungdubv ridu.
10 Additionally, they must first be tested. Then, if they are above reproach, let them serve as deacons.
Bunua gwngkarika gvrila kaakw chorung laka okv vbvrikunamv bunu gvlo ogu alvmanv go himpakaapa mabolo bunua gvrja lo riduryanv gubv rimutvka.
11 In the same way, the women must be dignified, not slanderers, but temperate and faithful in all things.
Bunugv nywng vdwvka himasunv gubv rirung dubv ridu okv rwsitanu japma nvgobv ridubv rirungdo; bunu ogumvnwnglo nyaknyi okv mvvmaruma nvbv ridubv rirungdo.
12 A deacon must be the husband of but one wife, a good manager of his children and of his own household.
Gvrja nga riduryanv nyi ngv nywng akin mvngdubv rirungdo, okv atugv vpin okv kuu vdwgv lvgabv alvbv nyingla nvgobv rirungdo.
13 For those who have served well as deacons acquire for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
Vbvrinv gvrja lo riduryanv nyi ngv bunu atugv kudungkua nga alvbv risu bongv nyi alvnvgobv rinyala bunugv Kristo Jisunyi mvngjwng namgv lvkwng nga busukano kaamabv minladunv.
14 Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these things
Ngo nam baapubv kaarwk sidubv vla mvngtin dula sum siti sum nam vbv lvkdunv.
15 in case I am delayed, so that you will know how each one must conduct himself in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.
Vbvritola ngoogv aanam mv tapv nambv ridaka, si siti si ngonu oguaingbv Pwknvyarnv gv vpinlo ouguaingbv risedakse ngvdw nam chimure, ho vpin hv turbwngnv Pwknvyarnv gv gvrja ngv, jvjv nga turbudalv yanv gv gvngnga pongv.
16 By common confession, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the nations, was believed in throughout the world, was taken up in glory.
Ngonugv dormo si arwnglo vdwgo kairungnv gubv ridudw, hum yvvka mia lama: Hv nyi amarbv kaatam sito, Dow lokv tarwkbak dunv vla kaatam sito, okv nyidogindung vdwv ninyia kaapato. Ninyigv lvkwng nga chvnggodogo lo mingojito, chvnggodogo mvnwngngv ninyia mvngjwng nyato, okv nyidomooku tolo naacha toku.
