1 Timothy 3

1 It is certain, if any one is desirous of the episcopal office, he desireth a good work.

Etu kotha to hosa ase: kunba cholawta hobole mon thakile, tai ekjon bhal kaam kori bole mon kori ase.

2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, sober, prudent, grave,

Etu karone, ekjon cholawta to galti nathaka hobo lage, tai ekjon maiki laga mota hobo lage, hisab te thaka manu, dimag thaka, bhal adat, aru ghor te aha manu khan logote bhal thaki bole, sikhai dibole para manu,

3 hospitable, able to teach, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of sordid gain, moderate, not quarrelsome,

kintu modhu kha adat thaka aru jhagara kora manu nohobo lage, kintu tai to nomro, shanti thaka, aru poisa morom kora manu nohobo lage.

4 not covetous, governing his own family well, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

Tai nijor ghor ke bhal pora chola bo janibo lage, tai laga bacha khan pora tai laga kotha manibo lage, aru taike sonman kora manu hobo lage.

5 (for if any one know not how to govern his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

Kilekoile ekjon manu tai laga nijor ghor manu khan ke thik pora chola bo najanile, kineka tai Isor laga girja ke sabo paribo?

6 not one newly converted, least being puffed up he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

Tai ekjon notun biswasi nohobo lage, etu pora tai phutani pora bhorta nohobo aru tai bhoot laga rasta te nagiribo.

7 He ought also to have an honorable testimony from those that are without, least he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Tai bhal naam thaka aru bahar te bhi ekjon bhal naam thaka hobo lage, etu hoile tai sorom nohobo aru bhoot laga jal te nagiribo.

8 The deacons should likewise be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of base gain,

Thik eneka, porisharok khan bhi, sonman thaka hobo lage, aru duita kotha kora, modhu kha manu, aru lalchi kora manu nahobo lage,

9 holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

hoilebi, taikhan to mon sapha pora hosa laga biswasi hobo lage.

10 (And let these also first be proved, then let them take the office of deacons, if they be found blameless.)

Taikhan ke bhal pora sabi, aru taikhan thik ase koile taikhan ke etu kaam koribo dibi.

11 And their wives likewise grave, not slanderers, sober, and faithful in all things.

Etu nisena mahila khan bhi sonman thaka hobo lage, chukuli nakoribo lage, hisab-te thaka, aru sob te thik mon dibo para hobo lage.

12 Let the deacons too be husbands of one wife only, governing their children and their own houses well.

Girja laga porisharok khan ekjon maiki laga mota hobo lage, bacha khan ke aru ghor manu khan sobke bhal pora cholabole janibo lage.

13 For they, that discharge the office of a deacon well, gain to themselves a good degree of honor, and much freedom in promoting the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

Kilekoile jun kaam thik pora korise, tai nijor nimite ekjon bhal sonman thaka naam hobo aru biswas te bisi mon dangor hobo juntu Jisu Khrista te ase.

14 These things I write unto thee, hoping to come to thee shortly.

Ami etu sob apuni khan ke likhi ase, aru apnikhan logote joldi ahibole bhabi ase,

15 But if I should be retarded, that thou mayst know how thou oughtest to behave in the house of God, the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.

hoilebi ami ahibole deri hoise koile, etu likha khan pora apuni janibo Isor laga ghor te thaka manu khan kineka niyom manibo lage, juntu jinda Isor laga girja ase, juntu hosa laga khamba ase aru etu ke khara kori bole dhuri thake.

16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

Eku ulta bhabona nathaki kene, Isor laga hosa to dangor pora dikhaise: “Khrista ke mangso te dikhai dise, Atma pora bujhai dise, Sorgodoth khan pora dikhise, Desh majote sobke janai dise, Prithibi te biswas korise, Aru Taike sorgote loi jaise.”
