1 Timothy 3
1 If anyone, for oversight, is eager, a noble work, doth he covet: —
Hiche hi tahsanthei ding doltah'a kisei ahi. “Khattouvin Houbung Upa hi ding natoh anopleh amachun ja umtah panmun adei ahi.”
2 It is needful, then, for, the overseer, to be irreproachable, a husband, of one wife, sober, of sound mind, orderly, hospitable, apt in teaching,
Hijehchun Houbung Upa ding chu ja umtah nolnabei hinkho mang hiding ahi. Aji ang'a kitah ding, ama le ama kitimjoumi hiding, chingthei tah a hing hiding, chule minphat na nei hiding ahi. Jindot them chule mihilthem hiding ahi.
3 Not given to wine, not ready to wound, but considerate, averse to contention, not fond of money,
Ama chu julopmi ahiloule agilou hilou ding ahi. Ama chu milungneng hiding, mitoh kinahat hilou ding, chule sum ngailu lou mi hiding ahi.
4 Over his own house, presiding, well, having, children, in submission, with all dignity;
A-insung kipohtupjou mi, achaten ajathei le athua nunsah joumi hiding ahi.
5 Whereas, if anyone, over his own house, cannot, preside, how, of an assembly of God, shall he take care?
Ajehchu a-insung akivettup joulouleh Pathen houbung chu iti avettup jouding ham?
6 Not a new convert, lest, being beclouded, into the sentence of the adversary, he fall;
Houbung Upa ding chu tahsanthah hilou ding ahi, ajeh chu hung kiletsah intin Diabolin asuhlhuh ding ahi.
7 It is needful, moreover, to have, an honourable testimony also, from them who are without, lest, into reproach, he fall, and the snare of the adversary.
Chujong leh, pam a miho seiphat changmi hiding ahi, achuti louleh miseiset achanna-a kon chun Diabol thangkolah ohkhaget inte.
8 Ministers, in the same way, —dignified, not double-tongued, not, to much wine, given, not greedy of base gain,
Chutobang ma chun deacon panmun loding ho jong chu ja-um mi chuleh kitahna neimi hiding, ju'a lopmi hilou ding, sum a kitahlou mi hilou ding ahi.
9 Holding the sacred secret of the faith in a pure conscience;
Tahsan thugil tua kiphongdoh thudol'a kipeh theng nanei, chule lungthengsel a hing mi hidiu ahi.
10 But let, these also, be proved first, then, let them be ministering, being, unaccusable:
Amahohi Deacon a akipansah masanga hoitah a kholchil masat ding, alhin uva ahileh Deacon panmun a pang ding ahiuve.
11 Wives, in the same way, —dignified, not given to intrigue, sober, faithful in all things.
Hitobangma-a chu ajiteu jong ja um mi hiding, miseiset hat hilou ding, amale ama kitimjoumi hiding chuleh anatohna jousea jong kitahna neimi hiding ahiuve.
12 Let, ministers, be husbands of, one wife, over children, presiding, well, and over their own houses;
Deacon ho chu jikhat neimi hiding chuleh achateu leh a-insung kivetsuijou mi hiding,
13 For, they who have ministered well, a good degree for themselves, are acquiring, and great freedom of speech in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
Deacon natohna a lolhingtah michun mipia kon a jana changdiu hichun Yeshua Christa atahsannau toh tahsan aumnau asuhpung ding ahi.
14 These things, unto thee, I am writing, hoping to come [unto thee] shortly, —
Nakom u hunglhunvah ding kinepna kanei jing vang'in tun hiche hohi kahin sun e.
15 But, if I should tarry, that thou mayest know—how it behoveth, in a house of God, to behave oneself, —the which, is an assembly of a Living God, a pillar and basement of the truth; —
Ijemtia keima kahunggei khah leh Pathen insung mite iti chondiu ham ti nahettheina dinga kati ahi. Hiche hi hingjing Pathen houbung ahin, hichu thutah kingapna khombul ahi.
16 And, confessedly great, is the sacred secret of godliness, —Who was made manifest in flesh, was declared righteous in spirit, was made visible unto messengers, was proclaimed among nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
Kinelna beihel in, hiche hi itahsan nauthugil loupitah chu ahi. Christa chu mihem a hung kilanga Lhagaovin atahlanga vantil hon amuu ahi. Ama thuhi chitin namtin lah-a akiphong jal in vannoi miten atahsan un chuleh loupitah in van ah lahtouvin aumtai.
