Phaawulos isa amantii filatamtoota Waaqaatii fi dhugaa beekuu gara Waaqaaf buluutti nama geessuuf garbicha Waaqaatii fi ergamaa Yesuus Kiristoos taʼe irraa;
kunis abdii jireenya bara baraa isa Waaqni hin sobne sun jalqaba addunyaatiin dura waadaa gale irratti kan hundeeffamee dha; (aiōnios g166)

7 For the bishop must be blameless, as God’s steward; not selfwilled, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;
Phaaphaasiin tokko sababii hojiin Waaqaa imaanaa isatti kennameef inni nama mudaa hin qabne taʼuu qaba malee kan of tuulu, kan dafee aaru, kan machaaʼu, kan lola jaallatuu fi kan karaa hin malleen buʼaa argachuuf tattaaffatu taʼuu hin qabu.
8 but given to hospitality, a lover of good, soberminded, just, holy, temperate;
Qooda kanaa inni nama keessumaa simatu, nama waan gaarii jaallatu, kan of qabu, qajeelaa, qulqulluu fi nama naamusa qabu taʼuu qaba.
9 holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers.
Inni akka barsiisa dhugaatiin warra kaan gorsuu, warra barsiisa sanaan morman immoo akka dogoggora isaanii itti himee amansiisuu dandaʼuuf akkuma barsiifametti dubbii amanamaa sana jabeessee qabachuu qaba.
10 For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision,
Finciltoonni baayʼeen, warri dubbii faayidaa hin qabne dubbatanii fi gowwoomsitoonni keessumattuu miseensonni garee warra dhagna qabatanii hedduutu jiraatii.
11 whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
Isaan buʼaa hin malle argachuuf jedhanii waan barsiisuun isaan irra hin jirre barsiisuudhaan waan maatii guutuu diiganiif afaan qabachiifamuu qabu.
12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are alway liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons.

14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

15 To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

16 They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Isaan nu Waaqa beekna jedhu; hojii isaaniitiin garuu isa ganu. Isaan jibbamoo dha; warra hin ajajamnee fi warra waan gaarii tokko iyyuu hojjechuuf gaʼumsa hin qabnee dha.
