1 Timothy 3
1 It is a faithful saying: if a man desires the episcopate, he desires a good work.
| یَدِ کَشْچِدْ اَدھْیَکْشَپَدَمْ آکانْکْشَتے تَرْہِ سَ اُتَّمَں کَرْمَّ لِپْسَتَ اِتِ سَتْیَں۔ |
2 Therefore, it is necessary for a bishop to be beyond reproach, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, gracious, chaste, hospitable, a teacher,
| اَتودھْیَکْشینانِنْدِتینَیکَسْیا یوشِتو بھَرْتْرا پَرِمِتَبھوگینَ سَںیَتَمَنَسا سَبھْییناتِتھِسیوَکینَ شِکْشَنے نِپُنینَ |
3 not a drunkard, not combative but restrained, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
| نَ مَدْیَپینَ نَ پْرَہارَکینَ کِنْتُ مرِدُبھاوینَ نِرْوِّوادینَ نِرْلوبھینَ |
4 but a man who leads his own house well, having children who are subordinate with all chastity.
| سْوَپَرِوارانامْ اُتَّمَشاسَکینَ پُورْنَوِنِیتَتْوادْ وَشْیاناں سَنْتاناناں نِیَنْتْرا چَ بھَوِتَوْیَں۔ |
5 For if a man does not know how to lead his own house, how will he take care of the Church of God?
| یَتَ آتْمَپَرِوارانْ شاسِتُں یو نَ شَکْنوتِ تینیشْوَرَسْیَ سَمِتیسْتَتّواوَدھارَنَں کَتھَں کارِشْیَتے؟ |
6 He must not be a new convert, lest, being elated by pride, he may fall under the sentence of the devil.
| اَپَرَں سَ گَرْوِّتو بھُوتْوا یَتْ شَیَتانَ اِوَ دَنْڈَیوگْیو نَ بھَویتْ تَدَرْتھَں تینَ نَوَشِشْیینَ نَ بھَوِتَوْیَں۔ |
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.
| یَچَّ نِنْدایاں شَیَتانَسْیَ جالے چَ نَ پَتیتْ تَدَرْتھَں تینَ بَہِحسْتھَلوکانامَپِ مَدھْیے سُکھْیاتِیُکْتینَ بھَوِتَوْیَں۔ |
8 Similarly, deacons must be chaste, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not pursuing tainted profit,
| تَدْوَتْ پَرِچارَکَیرَپِ وِنِیتَے رْدْوِوِدھَواکْیَرَہِتَے رْبَہُمَدْیَپانے ناسَکْتَے رْنِرْلوبھَیشْچَ بھَوِتَوْیَں، |
9 holding to the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.
| نِرْمَّلَسَںویدینَ چَ وِشْواسَسْیَ نِگُوڈھَواکْیَں دھاتِوْیَنْچَ۔ |
10 And these things should be proven first, and then they may minister, being without offense.
| اَگْرے تیشاں پَرِیکْشا کْرِیَتاں تَتَح پَرَمْ اَنِنْدِتا بھُوتْوا تے پَرِچَرْیّاں کُرْوَّنْتُ۔ |
11 Similarly, the women must be chaste, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
| اَپَرَں یوشِدْبھِرَپِ وِنِیتابھِرَنَپَوادِکابھِح سَتَرْکابھِح سَرْوَّتْرَ وِشْواسْیابھِشْچَ بھَوِتَوْیَں۔ |
12 Deacons should be the husband of one wife, men who lead their own children and their own houses well.
| پَرِچارَکا ایکَیکَیوشِتو بھَرْتّارو بھَوییُح، نِجَسَنْتاناناں پَرِجَنانانْچَ سُشاسَنَں کُرْیُّشْچَ۔ |
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.
| یَتَح سا پَرِچَرْیّا یَے رْبھَدْرَرُوپینَ سادھْیَتے تے شْریشْٹھَپَدَں پْراپْنُوَنْتِ کھْرِیشْٹے یِیشَو وِشْواسینَ مَہوتْسُکا بھَوَنْتِ چَ۔ |
14 I am writing these things to you, with the hope that I will come to you soon.
| تْواں پْرَتْییتَتْپَتْرَلیکھَنَسَمَیے شِیگھْرَں تْوَتْسَمِیپَگَمَنَسْیَ پْرَتْیاشا مَمَ وِدْیَتے۔ |
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.
| یَدِ وا وِلَمْبییَ تَرْہِیشْوَرَسْیَ گرِہے رْتھَتَح سَتْیَدھَرْمَّسْیَ سْتَمْبھَبھِتِّمُولَسْوَرُوپایامْ اَمَریشْوَرَسْیَ سَمِتَو تْوَیا کِیدرِشَ آچارَح کَرْتَّوْیَسْتَتْ جْناتُں شَکْشْیَتے۔ |
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.
| اَپَرَں یَسْیَ مَہَتّوَں سَرْوَّسْوِیکرِتَمْ اِیشْوَرَبھَکْتیسْتَتْ نِگُوڈھَواکْیَمِدَمْ اِیشْوَرو مانَوَدیہے پْرَکاشِتَ آتْمَنا سَپُنْیِیکرِتو دُوتَیح سَنْدرِشْٹَح سَرْوَّجاتِییاناں نِکَٹے گھوشِتو جَگَتو وِشْواسَپاتْرِیبھُوتَسْتیجَحپْراپْتَیے سْوَرْگَں نِیتَشْچیتِ۔ |
