7 Ni kinofu kwa muangalizi ghwa K'yara, asijhi ni lawama. Asijhi munu ghwa njuegho au jhaabelili kwizuila. Lazima asijhi njonjofu ghwa ligoga, asijhi ndefi, asijhi munu ghwa kusababisya ngondo, na asijhi ni tamaa.
For the overseer must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
8 Badala jhiake: ajhelayi munu n'karibisiajhi, jhailonda bhwema. Lazima ajhelayi munu mwenye luhala luoha, mwenye haki, mcha K'yara, jhaikitawala muene.
but given to hospitality, as a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined;
9 Jhaibhwesya kujhemelela mafundisu gha bhukweli ghaghamanyisibhu, ili abhwesiajhi kubhapela muoyo kwa mafundisu manofu na jhaibhwesya kubharekebisya bhoha bhabhakampela.
holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.
10 Kwa kujha bhajhe bhaasi bhamehele, hasa bhala bha tohara. Malobhi gha bhene gha bhukonyofu. Bhikofya ni kubhalongosya bhanu mu bhukonyofu.
For there are many rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
11 Lazima kubhabesya bhanu kama abhu. Bhimanyisya ghala ghabhilondekalepi kumanyisya kwa faida sya soni ni kuharibu familia syoha,
whose mouths must be silenced; who are upsetting whole families, teaching things which they should not, for the sake of dishonest gain.
