1 Timothy 3
1 This is a faithful saying: If someone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a good work.
Hitz segura duc haur, Baldin nehorc, Ipizpicu içatera desiratzen badu, obra excellentbat desiratzen dic:
2 The overseer, therefore, must be beyond criticism, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, good at teaching;
Baina behar dic Ipizpicuac içan irreprehensible, emazte bakoitz baten senhar, vigilant, sobre, modest, estrangerén ostatuz gogotic recebiçale, iracasteco carazco:
3 not a drunkard, not violent, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money;
Ez mahatsarnoari emana, ez vkaldicari, ez irabaizte deshonestaren guthicioso, baina benigno, ez reuoltari, ez auaritioso:
4 one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;
Bere familia honestqui gobernatzen duelaric, bere haourrac suiectionetan eduquiten dituelaric honestate gucirequin:
5 (but if someone does not know how to manage his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?)
(Ecen baldin edoceinec bere etchearen gobernatzen ezpadaqui, nolatan Iaincoaren Eliçari gogoa emanen drauca?)
6 not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
Ez apprendiz berri, vrguluz hanturic deabruaren condemnationera eror eztadinçát.
7 Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into disgrace and the trap of the devil.
Behar dic are harc duen testimoniage ona campocoetaric-ere: reprotchutara eta deabruen laçora eror eztadinçát.
8 Deacons, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not devoted to a lot of wine, not greedy for money;
Diacréc halaber behar die içan honest, ez bi hitzetaco, ez mahatsarno anhitzari emanac, ez irabaizte deshonestaren guthicioso:
9 holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
Eduquiten dutelaric fedearen mysterioa conscientia chahurequin.
10 Let them also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, if they are blamesless.
Eta hec-ere phoroga ditecen lehen, guero cerbitza deçaten, baldin reprotchu gabetaco badirade.
11 Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.
Halaber hayén emazteac diraden honest, ez gaitzerraile, baina sobre, leyal gauça gucietan.
12 Let deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
Diacreac diraden emazte bederaren senhar, gobernatzen dituztelaric honestqui bere haourrac eta bere etcheac.
13 For those who have served well as deacons gain for themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Ecen vngui cerbitzatu duqueitenéc grado ona acquisitzen dié beretzat, eta libertate handia Iesus Christ baithango fedean.
14 These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly;
Gauça hauc scribatzen drauzquiat, sperança dudalaric ecen sarri hiregana ethorriren naicela:
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.
Eta baldin berancen badut, daquiançát nola behar den Iaincoaren etchean conuersatu, cein baita Iainco viciaren Eliçá, eguiaren habea eta sustenguä.
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.
Eta duda gabe, handi duc pietatearen mysterioa: ecen Iaincoa manifestatu içan dela haraguian, iustificatu dela Spirituan, ikussi içan dela Aingueruèz, predicatu içan çayela Gentiley, sinhetsi içan dela munduan, goiti recebitu içan dela gloriara.
