Timoteo I 3
1 HE olelo oiaio keia, ina make make kekahi i ka oihana kahunapule, he hana maikai kana i makemake ai.
This is a true saying, (logos) If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desires a good work.
2 Eia ka pono no ke kahunapule, he hala ole, he kane na ka wahine hookahi, he kiai ia ia iho, he kuoo, he akahai, he hookipa, he akamai hoi i ke ao aku;
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, able to teach;
3 Aole e lilo i ka waina, aole e kipikipi, aole hoi alunu wale; aka, e ahonui, a e hakaka ole, aole hoi makee waiwai;
Not given to wine, not an attacker, not greedy of filthy illegal gain; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4 E hoomalu maikai ana i kona hale iho me ka hoolohe pono ia mai e kana mau keiki me ka hanohano.
One that rules well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5 No ka mea, ina i ike ole ke kanaka i ka hoomalu ana i kona hale iho, pehea la e hiki ai ia ia ke malama i ka ekalesia o ke Akua?
(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6 Aole ka mea akahiakahi, o hookiekie ae oia a haule iloko o ka hoohewaia ana o ka diabolo.
Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7 E pono hoi e hoaponoia mai ia e ka poe mawaho; o lilo i ka hoahewaia, a hei aku la i ke pahele a ka diabolo.
Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8 Pela hoi na puuku ekalesia, e pono e noho kuoo, aole alelo lua, aole lilo i ka waina nui, aole hoi alunu wale;
Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy illegal gain;
9 E hoopaa ana i ka mea pohihihi o ka manaoio me ka manao maemae.
Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10 E hooiaio mua ia hoi lakou nei a ikea ka hala ole; alaila e lawe lakou i ka oihana puuku ekalesia.
And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
11 Pela hoi ka lakou mau wahine, e pono e noho kuoo, me ke aki ole, me ka noho malie, e hoopono ana ma na mea a pau.
Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
12 E pono hoi e lawe pakahi na puuku ekalesia i ka wahine, e hoomalu pono ana hoi i ka lakou mau keiki a me ko lakou mau hale iho.
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
13 No ka mea, o ka poe i lawelawe pono i ka oihana puuku, ua loaa ia lakou kekahi pono nui, a me ka wiwo ole ma ka manaoio iloko o Kristo Iesu.
For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
14 O keia mau mea ka'u e palapala aku nei ia oe, me ka manao e hele koke aku iou la;
These things write I unto you, hoping to come unto you shortly:
15 A i hakalia au, i ike oe i kou pono e hana ai maloko o ka hale o ke Akua, oia ka ekalesia o ke Akua ola, o ke kia a me ke kahua o ka olelo oiaio.
But if I tarry long, that you may know how you ought to behave yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
16 Ua akaka no he mea nui ka mea pohihihi o ka manao i ke Akua: ua hoikeia mai ke Akua ma ke kino, ua hoaponoia mai e ka Uhane, ua ikea mai e na anela, ua haiia ku i ko na aina e, ua manaoio ia ma ke ao nei, a ua hookipaia'ku iluna i ka nani.
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, (pneuma) seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
