1 Timothy 3
1 Anyone who aspires to be an elder [in the congregation] (OR, a bishop) desires a noble/honorable task.
Адевэрат есте кувынтул ачеста: „Дакэ рывнеште чинева сэ фие епископ, дореште ун лукру бун.”
2 [Since that is a task that others should respect], an overseer must [live] in such a way that [no one] can truly (say that he has done [anything that is] wrong/find fault with him). Specifically, [he must be] faithful to his wife. He must think clearly [about what he does]. He must be able to control his behavior. He must be sensible. He must be dignified/respectable. He must welcome and care for guests. He must be able to teach [God’s truth] well.
Дар требуе ка епископул сэ фие фэрэ приханэ, бэрбатул уней сингуре невесте, кумпэтат, ынцелепт, вредник де чинсте, примитор де оаспець, ын старе сэ ынвеце пе алций.
3 He must not be a drunkard. He must not be ready/quick to fight [those who make him angry]. On the contrary, he must be gentle and he must not be quarrelsome. He must not be greedy for a lot of money.
Сэ ну фие нич бецив, нич бэтэуш, нич доритор де кыштиг мыршав, чи сэ фие блынд, ну гылчевитор, ну юбитор де бань;
4 He must lead and care for his own household/family well. For example, he must be a man whom his children obey and completely respect,
сэ-шь кивернисяскэ бине каса ши сэ-шь цинэ копиий ын супунере ку тоатэ кувиинца.
5 because if anyone does not know how he should lead well and care for well the people who live in his own house, (he certainly cannot care for God’s congregation!/how can he care for God’s congregation?) [RHQ]
Кэч дакэ чинева ну штие сэ-шь кырмуяскэ бине каса луй, кум ва ынгрижи де Бисерика луй Думнезеу?
6 He must not be one who has just recently [trusted in Jesus], because [if you choose a man] like that, he might become conceited/proud [because you chose him so soon]. As a result of his being conceited/proud, God will condemn him like he condemned the devil [because he was conceited/proud].
Сэ ну фие ынторс ла Думнезеу де курынд, ка ну кумва сэ се ынгымфе ши сэ кадэ ын осында дяволулуй.
7 Moreover, [an elder must live] in such a way that non-Christians speak well of him, because [if he conducts himself like] that, people will not say evil things about him, and the devil will not capture/trap him [MET] [like people capture animals] in a trap.
Требуе сэ айбэ ши о бунэ мэртурие дин партя челор де афарэ, пентру ка сэ ну ажунгэ де окарэ ши сэ кадэ ын курса дяволулуй.
8 [Those whom you choose to serve as] deacons likewise [must be ones who conduct themselves suitably/appropriately. Specifically], they must be (serious/worthy that people respect them). They must (be sincere/mean what they say). They must not like to drink a lot of alcohol. They must not (be greedy/have a strong desire to get money).
Диаконий, де асеменя, требуе сэ фие чинстиць, ну ку доуэ феце, ну бэуторь де мулт вин, ну дориторь де кыштиг мыршав,
9 They must sincerely believe the message that [God] has now revealed [to us].
чи сэ пэстрезе тайна крединцей ынтр-ун куӂет курат.
10 [Like you do for the elders], you must examine ([their character/how they conduct their lives]) [before you appoint them to serve]. Then if they are without fault, let them serve as deacons.
Требуе черчетаць ынтый ши, нумай дакэ сунт фэрэ приханэ, сэ фие диаконь.
11 Their wives (OR, The women who are deacons) likewise [must conduct themselves suitably/appropriately. Specifically, they must be] (serious/worthy that people respect them). They must not speak evil about people. They must not drink a lot of alcohol. They must be faithful in everything that they do.
Фемеиле, де асеменя, требуе сэ фие чинстите, неклеветитоаре, кумпэтате, крединчоасе ын тоате лукруриле.
12 Deacons must be faithful to their wives, and they must lead well and care well for their children and [other] people in their houses.
Диаконий сэ фие бэрбаць ай уней сингуре невесте ши сэ штие сэ-шь кырмуяскэ бине копиий ши каселе лор.
13 Because if deacons serve well, people will respect them, and they will be able [to speak] very boldly/confidently about what they believe concerning Christ Jesus.
Пентру кэ чей че служеск бине ка диаконь добындеск ун лок де чинсте ши о маре ындрэзнялэ ын крединца каре есте ын Христос Исус.
14 Although I hope that I will come and visit you soon, I am writing these things to you [now]
Ыць скриу ачесте лукрурь ку нэдеждя кэ вой вени ын курынд ла тине.
15 in order that if I (am delayed/things prevent me from visiting to you soon), you will know how believers should conduct their lives [and you will be able to teach that to them]. [I am talking about] all those who are members of God’s family, all the congregations that belong to the all-powerful God, all those who uphold/support [MET] the true [message].
Дар, дакэ вой зэбови, сэ штий кум требуе сэ те порць ын каса луй Думнезеу, каре есте Бисерика Думнезеулуй челуй виу, стылпул ши темелия адевэрулуй.
16 It is certainly true that [the message that God] has now revealed is very wonderful! From it, we learn this spiritual truth that we say/sing about [Christ] (OR, We affirm this teaching to be true and very important.) It is what shows us how to live (in a godly manner/in a manner that pleases God). It is what God has now revealed, even though it was not known before. [We] ([affirm/say that it is true]) concerning Jesus Christ that, He is the one who appeared on the earth in a human body. God’s Spirit showed/demonstrated that he is/was truly the Messiah (OR, that he always acted righteously); Angels saw him; people preached about him in many nations; People in many parts of the world believed the message about him. God took him up into heaven.
Ши, фэрэ ындоялэ, маре есте тайна евлавией… „Чел че а фост арэтат ын труп а фост доведит неприхэнит ын Духул, а фост вэзут де ынӂерь, а фост проповэдуит принтре нямурь, а фост крезут ын луме, а фост ынэлцат ын славэ.”
