1 Timotheo 3
1 Bhujobhi obho ndo bhwakuaminibhwa: Kama munu inoghela kujha msimamizi, inoghela mbombo jhinofu.
Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος· εἴ τις ἐπισκοπῆς ὀρέγεται, καλοῦ ἔργου ἐπιθυμεῖ.
2 Henu msimamizi ndo lazima asijhi ni lawama. Ndo lazima ajhelelayi n'gosi ghwa n'dala mmonga ndo lazima ajhelayi ni kiasi, busara, ajhelayi ni bhalolo, mkarimu. Ndo lazima ajhelayi ni bhuwesu bhwa kumanyisya.
Δεῖ οὖν τὸν ἐπίσκοπον ἀνεπίληπτον εἶναι, μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρα, νηφάλεον, σώφρονα, κόσμιον, φιλόξενον, διδακτικόν·
3 Asijhi itumila mvinyo, asijhi ghwa ngondo, bali mololo, jhaajhe ni amani. Na lasima asijhi munu jhaigana hela.
μὴ πάροινον, μὴ πλήκτην, μὴ αἰσχροκερδῆ, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπιεικῆ, ἄμαχον, ἀφιλάργυρον·
4 Jhilondeka kubhajhemelela kinofu bhanu bhamunyumba jha muene, ni bhana munu jhikabhalondeka kun'tii kwa litengo lyoha.
τοῦ ἰδίου οἴκου καλῶς προϊστάμενον, τέκνα ἔχοντα ἐν ὑποταγῇ μετὰ πάσης σεμνότητος.
5 Ndabha jhikajhiaghe munu amanyili lepi kubhajhemela bhanu bha munyumba jha muene, ibetakulilela bhuli likanisa lya K'yara?
Εἰ δέ τις τοῦ ἰδίου οἴκου προστῆναι οὐκ οἶδε, πῶς ἐκκλησίας Θεοῦ ἐπιμελήσεται;
6 Asijhi mwamini mpya, ili kwamba asihidi kwifuna ni kubinila mu hukumu kama jhola mwovu.
Μὴ νεόφυτον, ἵνα μὴ τυφωθεὶς εἰς κρίμα ἐμπέσῃ τοῦ διαβόλου.
7 Lazima kabhele ajhelayi ni sifa sinofu kwa bhanu bhoha bhabhajhele kwibhala ili asihidi kubina mu soni ni n'teghu ghwa mwovu.
Δεῖ δὲ αὐτὸν καὶ μαρτυρίαν καλὴν ἔχειν ἀπὸ τῶν ἔξωθεν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐμπέσῃ καὶ παγίδα τοῦ διαβόλου.
8 Bhashemasi felafela bhilondeka kujha bhenye kustahili litengo, bhasijhi bhenye kauli sibhele. Bhasitumili mvinyo kup'eta kiasi au kujha ni tamaa.
Διακόνους ὡσαύτως σεμνούς, μὴ διλόγους, μὴ οἴνῳ πολλῷ προσέχοντας, μὴ αἰσχροκερδεῖς,
9 Bhabhwesiajhi kujhitunza kwa dhamiri jhinofu jhila kweli jha imani jhajhafunulibhu.
ἔχοντας τὸ μυστήριον τῆς πίστεως ἐν καθαρᾷ συνειδήσει.
10 Bhajhelayi kabhele bhasibitishibhu hoti, kabhele bhabhwesiajhi kuhudumu kwandabha bhajhelepi ni lawama.
Καὶ οὗτοι δὲ δοκιμαζέσθωσαν πρῶτον, εἶτα διακονείτωσαν, ἀνέγκλητοι ὄντες.
11 Bhadala mebhu bhajhelayi ni litengo. Bhasijhi bhadesi. Bhajhelajhi ni kiasi ni bhaaminifu kwa mambo ghoha.
Γυναῖκας ὡσαύτως σεμνάς, μὴ διαβόλους, νηφαλέους, πιστὰς ἐν πᾶσι.
12 Bhashemasi lazima bhajhelayi bhagosi bha n'dala mmonga mmonga. Lazima bhabhuesiajhi kubhajhemelela kinofu bhana bhabhi ni bha munyumba jha bhene.
Διάκονοι ἔστωσαν μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρες, τέκνων καλῶς προϊστάμενοι καὶ τῶν ἰδίων οἴκων.
13 Kwa kujha bhala bhabhitumikila kinofu bhikabha msimamo bhunofu ni bhujasiri mbaha mu imani jhajhijhele mwa Kristu Yesu.
Οἱ γὰρ καλῶς διακονήσαντες βαθμὸν ἑαυτοῖς καλὸν περιποιοῦνται, καὶ πολλὴν παρρησίαν ἐν πίστει τῇ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.
14 Nilemba mambo agha kwa bhebhe, ni nilondeka kuhida kuhida kwa bhebhe karibuni naha.
Ταῦτά σοι γράφω, ἐλπίζων ἐλθεῖν πρός σε τάχιον·
15 Lakini panibeta kukabhela, nilemba ili ubhwesiajhi kumanya namna jha kulota mu nyumba jha K'yara, ambalyo ndo likanisa lya K'yara jhaajhe hai, lijengu ni msaada bhwa bhukweli.
ἐὰν δὲ βραδύνω, ἵνα εἰδῇς πῶς δεῖ ἐν οἴκῳ Θεοῦ ἀναστρέφεσθαι, ἥτις ἐστὶν ἐκκλησία Θεοῦ ζῶντος, στύλος καὶ ἑδραίωμα τῆς ἀληθείας.
16 Na jhip'eng'eka lepi kujha kweli jha Uk'yara jhabhugukulibhu ndo mbaha: “Abhonekene ni mb'el'e, athibitishibhu ni Roho, abhonekene ni malaika, atangasibhu miongoni mwa mataifa, aaminibhu ni ulimwengu, na atolibhu kunani mu utukufu.”
Καὶ ὁμολογουμένως μέγα ἐστὶ τὸ τῆς εὐσεβείας μυστήριον· Θεὸς ἐφανερώθη ἐν σαρκί, ἐδικαιώθη ἐν πνεύματι, ὤφθη ἀγγέλοις, ἐκηρύχθη ἐν ἔθνεσιν, ἐπιστεύθη ἐν κόσμῳ, ἀνελήφθη ἐν δόξῃ.
