1 Timoti 3
1 Hagi ama'i tamage naneke, iza'o mono kva manigahue hanimo'a, knare eri'zane huno erino.
This is a trustworthy saying: If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble task.
2 Kvama hania ne'mo'a amanahu hino, hazenke'a omneno, magoke a' anteno, mani'zama'a kva nehuno, fatgo zanke nehuno, avufa antermino nemanino, nantu antentesia vahe agampu nehuno, agra knare'za rempi huzmi ne' nemanino,
An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3 hanave rina neno negi oneno, hafra osuno, hagi arimpa fru nehuno, ke hakare osuno, zagogu avesinte'zana atreno.
not dependent on wine, not violent but gentle, peaceable, and free of the love of money.
4 Agra knare huno naga'a kva nehuno, mofavre zaga'a zamazeri fatgo hanige'za, knare kante maniho.
An overseer must manage his own household well and keep his children under control, with complete dignity.
5 Hu'neanagi naga'a kvagri so'e nosnimo'a, ina kna huno Anumzamofo mono' nona kegava hugahie?
For if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for the church of God?
6 Menima agu'a rukrahe hu'nesnia nera, mono kva ne' manisnie hunka ame'ama hunka azeri o'otio. Agra avufa erisaga nehnigeno Sata'a ana hanifi efreno azeri traka hugahie.
He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same condemnation as the devil.
7 Hagi monopi omani megi'a vahe'mo'za nege'za, knare nere nehanageno, agra havi avu'avapina uramino Sata krifufina ohegahie.
Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil.
8 Dikenima manisia ne'mo'a, anahu kna huno avu'avapina fatgo huno mani'neno, tare agerura oruno, hanave tintera osuno, havi kantetira vahe'mofo zagoa e'orino,
Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued or given to much wine or greedy for money.
9 e'inara osuno ani' agu'agesare mani'neno, Anumzamofonte hanave amentintima hu'neana, azeri hampo'na hino.
They must hold to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
10 Ana eri'zana erigahazanki hu'nenka, esera avame antenka eri'za zamige'za knare hu'zama erisagenka, dikeni eri'zana zamige'za eriho.
Additionally, they must first be tested. Then, if they are above reproach, let them serve as deacons.
11 A'nezamimo'zanena anahu kna hu'za knare hu'za nemani'za, vahe zamefi'a ke osu'za, knare avu'ava hu'za fatgo zanke hakareza hanafina nehnage'za antahi zamigahaze.
In the same way, the women must be dignified, not slanderers, but temperate and faithful in all things.
12 Dikenima manisimo'a magoke a' anteno, mofavre naga'a knare huno kegava negrino, noma'afi zantamine, vahe enena kegava krigahie.
A deacon must be the husband of but one wife, a good manager of his children and of his own household.
13 Ana dikeni eri'zama knare hu'za erisamo'za knare zamagi eneri'za, eri'za zamifina otine'za, korera osu'za Krais Jisasintera hanaveti'za zamentinti hugahaze.
For those who have served well as deacons acquire for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
14 Nagra ama avoma kre atrogeno kagritega viana, zaza kna omaninesake'na ko e'naku nehue.
Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these things
15 Hianagi mago'a zamo'ma nazerinke'na omesugenka, nagrama avoma kre troana kagra kenka antahinka hu'nane, vahe'mo'za inankna hu'za Anumzamofo nagara zamagra kegava hugahaze, kasefa huno mani'nea Anumzamofo mono nonte'ma, atru re'nea anumza zafa, tamage kemofo agafa'e.
in case I am delayed, so that you will know how each one must conduct himself in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.
16 Maka vahe'mota mago trimpa nehune, Anumzamofo avu'avapi tamentintima hu'zamo'a eama nehie, Kraisi'a avufa erino eama higeno, Avamu'mo fatgo avu'ava'a eriama higeno, ankero'moza kageno, Kraisi agi agenke hakare kaziga huama hazageno, miko mopane mopane vahe'mo'za zamentinti hazageno, tusi'a masanentake konariri'afi avreno mareri'ne.
By common confession, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the nations, was believed in throughout the world, was taken up in glory.
