1 Timoti 3
1 Hagi ama'i tamage naneke, iza'o mono kva manigahue hanimo'a, knare eri'zane huno erino.
This saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a good work.
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,
Therefore the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, sensible, 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 given to wine, not violent, not greedy for sordid gain, but gentle, not contentious, and not a lover of money.
4 Agra knare huno naga'a kva nehuno, mofavre zaga'a zamazeri fatgo hanige'za, knare kante maniho.
He must lead his own household well, keeping his children in submission with all dignity.
5 Hu'neanagi naga'a kvagri so'e nosnimo'a, ina kna huno Anumzamofo mono' nona kegava hugahie?
(For if a man does not know how to lead his own household, how will he take care of God's church?)
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 new convert, or he might become puffed up and fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7 Hagi monopi omani megi'a vahe'mo'za nege'za, knare nere nehanageno, agra havi avu'avapina uramino Sata krifufina ohegahie.
He must also have a good reputation among outsiders, so that he does not fall into the reproach and 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, not given to much wine, and not greedy for sordid gain.
9 e'inara osuno ani' agu'agesare mani'neno, Anumzamofonte hanave amentintima hu'neana, azeri hampo'na hino.
They must hold 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.
They must first be tested; 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.
Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded 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 one wife and must lead his children and his own household well.
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 obtain a good standing for themselves along with great boldness in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
14 Nagra ama avoma kre atrogeno kagritega viana, zaza kna omaninesake'na ko e'naku nehue.
I am writing these things to yoʋ, hoping to come to yoʋ soon.
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.
But if I delay, I am writing so that yoʋ may know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a 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.
Beyond all question, great is the mystery of godliness: God was revealed in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among nations, believed on in the world, and taken up in glory.
