1 Timothy 3

1 Trustworthy [is] the saying: If anyone overseership aspires to, of good a work he is desirous.

ཡདི ཀཤྩིད྄ ཨདྷྱཀྵཔདམ྄ ཨཱཀཱངྐྵཏེ ཏརྷི ས ཨུཏྟམཾ ཀརྨྨ ལིཔྶཏ ཨིཏི སཏྱཾ།

2 It behooves therefore the overseer above reproach to be, of one wife [the] husband, sober, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

ཨཏོ྅དྷྱཀྵེཎཱནིནྡིཏེནཻཀསྱཱ ཡོཥིཏོ བྷརྟྲཱ པརིམིཏབྷོགེན སཾཡཏམནསཱ སབྷྱེནཱཏིཐིསེཝཀེན ཤིཀྵཎེ ནིཔུཎེན

3 not given to wine, not a striker (not greedy of base gain *K*) but gentle, peaceable, not loving money,

ན མདྱཔེན ན པྲཧཱརཀེཎ ཀིནྟུ མྲྀདུབྷཱཝེན ནིཪྻྭིཝཱདེན ནིརློབྷེན

4 [his] own house well managing, children having in submission with all dignity.

སྭཔརིཝཱརཱཎཱམ྄ ཨུཏྟམཤཱསཀེན པཱུརྞཝིནཱིཏཏྭཱད྄ ཝཤྱཱནཱཾ སནྟཱནཱནཱཾ ནིཡནྟྲཱ ཙ བྷཝིཏཝྱཾ།

5 if but one his [own] household to manage not knows, how [the] church of God will he care for?

ཡཏ ཨཱཏྨཔརིཝཱརཱན྄ ཤཱསིཏུཾ ཡོ ན ཤཀྣོཏི ཏེནེཤྭརསྱ སམིཏེསྟཏྟྭཱཝདྷཱརཎཾ ཀཐཾ ཀཱརིཥྱཏེ?

6 not a novice, that not having been puffed up into [the] judgment he may fall of the devil.

ཨཔརཾ ས གཪྻྭིཏོ བྷཱུཏྭཱ ཡཏ྄ ཤཡཏཱན ཨིཝ དཎྜཡོགྱོ ན བྷཝེཏ྄ ཏདརྠཾ ཏེན ནཝཤིཥྱེཎ ན བྷཝིཏཝྱཾ།

7 It behooves now (him *k*) also a testimony good to have from those outside, so that not into reproach he may fall and [the] snare of the devil.

ཡཙྩ ནིནྡཱཡཱཾ ཤཡཏཱནསྱ ཛཱལེ ཙ ན པཏེཏ྄ ཏདརྠཾ ཏེན བཧིཿསྠལོཀཱནཱམཔི མདྷྱེ སུཁྱཱཏིཡུཀྟེན བྷཝིཏཝྱཾ།

8 Deacons likewise [must be] dignified, not double-tongued, not to wine much being given, not greedy of dishonest gain,

ཏདྭཏ྄ པརིཙཱརཀཻརཔི ཝིནཱིཏཻ རྡྭིཝིདྷཝཱཀྱརཧིཏཻ རྦཧུམདྱཔཱནེ ྅ནཱསཀྟཻ རྣིརློབྷཻཤྩ བྷཝིཏཝྱཾ,

9 holding to the mystery of the faith with clear a conscience.

ནིརྨྨལསཾཝེདེན ཙ ཝིཤྭཱསསྱ ནིགཱུཌྷཝཱཀྱཾ དྷཱཏིཝྱཉྩ།

10 Also these now they should be tested first, then they should serve blameless being.

ཨགྲེ ཏེཥཱཾ པརཱིཀྵཱ ཀྲིཡཏཱཾ ཏཏཿ པརམ྄ ཨནིནྡིཏཱ བྷཱུཏྭཱ ཏེ པརིཙཪྻྱཱཾ ཀུཪྻྭནྟུ།

11 Women likewise [must be] dignified, not slanderers, (clear-minded, *N(k)O*) faithful in all things.

ཨཔརཾ ཡོཥིདྦྷིརཔི ཝིནཱིཏཱབྷིརནཔཝཱདིཀཱབྷིཿ སཏརྐཱབྷིཿ སཪྻྭཏྲ ཝིཤྭཱསྱཱབྷིཤྩ བྷཝིཏཝྱཾ།

12 Deacons should be of one wife husbands, [their] children well managing and [their] own households.

པརིཙཱརཀཱ ཨེཀཻཀཡོཥིཏོ བྷརྟྟཱརོ བྷཝེཡུཿ, ནིཛསནྟཱནཱནཱཾ པརིཛནཱནཱཉྩ སུཤཱསནཾ ཀུཪྻྱུཤྩ།

13 Those for well having served a standing for themselves good acquire and great confidence in [the] faith that [is] in Christ Jesus.

ཡཏཿ སཱ པརིཙཪྻྱཱ ཡཻ རྦྷདྲརཱུཔེཎ སཱདྷྱཏེ ཏེ ཤྲེཥྛཔདཾ པྲཱཔྣུཝནྟི ཁྲཱིཥྚེ ཡཱིཤཽ ཝིཤྭཱསེན མཧོཏྶུཀཱ བྷཝནྟི ཙ།

14 These things to you I am writing hoping to come to you (with *no*) (speed; *N(k)O*)

ཏྭཱཾ པྲཏྱེཏཏྤཏྲལེཁནསམཡེ ཤཱིགྷྲཾ ཏྭཏྶམཱིཔགམནསྱ པྲཏྱཱཤཱ མམ ཝིདྱཏེ།

15 if however I shall delay, so that you may know how it behooves [one] in [the] household of God to conduct oneself, which is [the] church of God [the] living, [the] pillar and base of the truth.

ཡདི ཝཱ ཝིལམྦེཡ ཏརྷཱིཤྭརསྱ གྲྀཧེ ྅རྠཏཿ སཏྱདྷརྨྨསྱ སྟམྦྷབྷིཏྟིམཱུལསྭརཱུཔཱཡཱམ྄ ཨམརེཤྭརསྱ སམིཏཽ ཏྭཡཱ ཀཱིདྲྀཤ ཨཱཙཱརཿ ཀརྟྟཝྱསྟཏ྄ ཛྙཱཏུཾ ཤཀྵྱཏེ།

16 And confessedly great is the of godliness mystery: (Who *N(K)O*) was revealed in [the] flesh, was justified in [the] Spirit, beheld by angels, was proclaimed among [the] nations, was believed on in [the] world, was taken up in glory.
