1 Timothy 3
1 This is a faithful saying: If someone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a good work.
Tize tigeme ane ani tizi. inki uye mazi nu ukolimo ma cukuno unaje udenge Asere mazin nu ukolimo ukatuma ka re-re.
2 The overseer, therefore, must be beyond criticism, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, good at teaching;
Barki anime, ya cukuno gbas una je macukuno imum uzatu uboo. macukuno unu une inde, ma cukuno unu meki unicce, unu iriba ishew, unu kabsa utize unu kabsa agyanu, ma cukuno unu bezi utize.
3 not a drunkard, not violent, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money;
Kati ma cukuno unu sisa ubere, una matara, ahira agino ma cukuno unu naza iruba, unu hem ina anu, daki unu nyara ikirfi ba.
4 one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;
Ma cukuno tarsa ina kura ameme memerum, ahana ameme wa cukuno anu wuza ume imum ire-re nan u tinanu.
5 (but if someone does not know how to manage his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?)
Abanna inki daki unu marusa utarsa ina kura ameme ba, aneni madi rusi ucenti akura Asere?
6 not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
Daki ya wuna macukuno gusi unu usso ukaba utize ta sereba, barki kati mabo unu vangizi unicce, kati marizi anyimo usanda uweki utize tige sa weki unu uburu ugino me.
7 Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into disgrace and the trap of the devil.
Ma cukuno unu iriba ire-re ahira ande sa wa tawe tize ta Asere, barki kati mariba anyimo amu ē nyani ribe ani barda unu uburu.
8 Deacons, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not devoted to a lot of wine, not greedy for money;
Ane ani ma Dikinoni wa cukuno anu abenki, azo ana tize kani kareba, daki ya wuna ure wa cukuno anu siza ubere banyani wa cukuno unu inta pash.
9 holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
Wa cukuno anu inta masaa makadura nan nuhem ukadura nan nu ubassa abanga are-re.
10 Let them also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, if they are blamesless.
Memerum ini atubi ubezi uwe, abini me watubi kaduma barki ini mum ibi bugum.
11 Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.
Ane ani ane wa cukuno anu tarsa ina nu, daki ya wuna uree wa cukuno ana bi bukum ba, abanna me anu umeki acce nan nu urusa u inta akura anyimo akondi ya imum.
12 Let deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
Ya cukuno ma Dikinoni ma cukuno ana ne wa inde-inde, warusi u tarsa ina hana aweme nan tikura ti weme.
13 For those who have served well as deacons gain for themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Messiah Jesus.
Abanna me ande sa wa wuza katuma ka re-re wakem utonno ure-re dangas anyimouhem ukatuma ka sere sa karaa anyimo Ugomo Asere Yeso.
14 These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly;
Inzin nu nyatike wa ti mum tigino me, unu inko iriba indi e ahira aweme daki unu dadangino ba.
15 but if I wait long, that you may know how people ought to behave themselves in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
Abanna inki māde, in zin nu nyetike uwen barki urusi una be sa udi tarsi intimum tiweme anyimo akura Asere, udenge Asere ivai, nitin nan unu benki ukadura.
16 Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: He was revealed in the flesh, justified by the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.
Da matara marani mazo amu bezi u tarsa Asere aru u kadura kani kazi gbardang. “Ma bezi nicce numeme anyimo anipum, bibe ba suso me, ahana akadura ka sere wa iri me, akiti me ahira anu zatu tarsa Asere, a hem im me anyimo unee, abine ani aziti me me uhana a zesere anyimo ani nonzo.
