1 Timothy 3
1 It is a faithful saying: if a man desires the episcopate, he desires a good work.
Wapham asi achumbani: Kanagumba mi amana singlup amagi luchingba ama oiba pamlabadi, mahakna aphaba thabak amabu pamlabani.
2 Therefore, it is necessary for a bishop to be beyond reproach, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, gracious, chaste, hospitable, a teacher,
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 drunkard, not combative but restrained, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
mahak yuda luppa amadi tamthiba mi ama oiroidabani, adubu pukning tappa, khatnagandaba amadi sel pamgandaba mi ama oigadabani.
4 but a man who leads his own house well, having children who are subordinate with all chastity.
Mahakki imung manungbu ningthina yengsinba ama oigadabani aduga mahakki angangsingna mahakpu ikaikhumnabaga loinana mahakna haiba inba haibadu oihan-gadabani.
5 For if a man does not know how to lead his own house, how will he take care of the Church of God?
Maramdi kanagumbana masamakki imung manungbu karamna yengsin-gani haiba khangdrabadi mahakna karamna Tengban Mapugi singluppu ngak-sen-gadage?
6 He must not be a new convert, lest, being elated by pride, he may fall under the sentence of the devil.
Mahak nouna thajarakpa mi ama oiroidabani, nattrabadi mahakna napan touduna chaothoklaklabadi Devil-da takhiba wayel adumak mahaksu taba yai.
7 And it is necessary for him also to have good testimony from those who are outside, so that he may not fall into disrepute 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 Similarly, deacons must be chaste, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not pursuing tainted profit,
Adugumduna, singlupki thougal toubasingsu aphaba lichat chatpa amadi pukchel sengba mi oigadabani; makhoi yuda luppa nattraga selda karamba mi oiroidabani;
9 holding to the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.
asengba achum aran khangba pukningga loinana phongdokpiraba thajabagi oiba achumba adubu makhoina chetna paiba oigadabani.
10 And these things should be proven first, and then they may minister, being without offense.
Ahanbada makhoibu chang yenggadabani, maduda makhoina mai paklabadi makhoina singlupki thougal tousanu.
11 Similarly, the women must be chaste, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
Makhoigi nupisingsu adugumna aphaba lamchat chatpa amadi miwa ngangdaba oigadabani; ka hendaba amadi maram khudingda thajaba yabi oigadabani.
12 Deacons should be the husband of one wife, men who lead their own 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 ministered well will acquire for themselves a good position, and much confidence 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 I am writing these things to you, with the hope that I will come to you soon.
Eina nahakki nanakta yamna thuna lakkani haiba asa tourabasu, eina nangonda waphamsing asi iri.
15 But, if I am delayed, you should know the manner in which it is necessary to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the Church of the living God, the pillar and the foundation of 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 And it is clearly great, this mystery of piety, which was manifested in the flesh, which was justified in the Spirit, which has appeared to Angels, which has been preached to the Gentiles, which is believed in the world, which has been taken 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.
