1 Timoteo 3
1 Ni kweli kuti, mundu apinga kubha kalongolele jwa likanisha, anapinga liengo lya mmbone.
Bhujobhi obho ndo bhwakuaminibhwa: Kama munu inoghela kujha msimamizi, inoghela mbombo jhinofu.
2 Bhai inapinjikwa kalongolele abhe mundu anakole ilebho ku bhandunji, na analombe matala, na abhe jwa kwiiluma na jwa ishimika, na jwa lunda, na jwa mituka na akombola kujiganya,
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.
3 nngabha mundu jwa kolelwa na nngomo, ikabhe abhe jwa kwitimalika na jwangali mitau, na anabhe mundu jwa kunnonyela mbiya,
Asijhi itumila mvinyo, asijhi ghwa ngondo, bali mololo, jhaajhe ni amani. Na lasima asijhi munu jhaigana hela.
4 mundu akombola kulongoya ukoto bhandu bha likaja lyakwe, na akombola kwaatendanga bhaanagwe bhampilikananje na bhakolanje ishima.
Jhilondeka kubhajhemelela kinofu bhanu bhamunyumba jha muene, ni bhana munu jhikabhalondeka kun'tii kwa litengo lyoha.
5 Pabha monaga mundu akakombola kwaalongoyanga ukoto bhandu bha likaja lyakwe, shakombole bhuli kulilongoya likanisha lya a Nnungu?
Ndabha jhikajhiaghe munu amanyili lepi kubhajhemela bhanu bha munyumba jha muene, ibetakulilela bhuli likanisa lya K'yara?
6 Na kabhili mundu akanabhe kwiishimilika ukoto nngulupai, anaagulwe kubha kalongolele, nngakabha anakwiipuna niukumulwa malinga shatendilwe Lishetani.
Asijhi mwamini mpya, ili kwamba asihidi kwifuna ni kubinila mu hukumu kama jhola mwovu.
7 Abhe mundu jwa shuma uguja kubhandunji bha kunyenje, nkupinga anagambwe nitanjila nniyau lika Lishetani.
Lazima kabhele ajhelayi ni sifa sinofu kwa bhanu bhoha bhabhajhele kwibhala ili asihidi kubina mu soni ni n'teghu ghwa mwovu.
8 Nneyo peyo na mashemashi nnikanisha bhabhanganje bhandunji bha ishimika, na bhanabhanganje bha malobhe malobhe, na bhanabhanganje bha kolelwa, na bhapinganga mmbiya ya tokomaya,
Bhashemasi felafela bhilondeka kujha bhenye kustahili litengo, bhasijhi bhenye kauli sibhele. Bhasitumili mvinyo kup'eta kiasi au kujha ni tamaa.
9 bhabhanganje bhaakagulilanga ngulupai ya kweli.
Bhabhwesiajhi kujhitunza kwa dhamiri jhinofu jhila kweli jha imani jhajhafunulibhu.
10 Kwa nneyo bhatandubhanje kulingwa, kungai bhatendanje liengo lya jangutila nnikanisha, bhabhonekangaga kuti bhangalinji itendi ya nyata.
Bhajhelayi kabhele bhasibitishibhu hoti, kabhele bhabhwesiajhi kuhudumu kwandabha bhajhelepi ni lawama.
11 Nneyo peyo na ashaakongo bhabhonji, bhabhanganje bhaishimikanga, bhanabhanganje bha lung'wenyi, bhabhanganje bhakwiitimalika, na bhaakulupalikanga kwa kila shindu.
Bhadala mebhu bhajhelayi ni litengo. Bhasijhi bhadesi. Bhajhelajhi ni kiasi ni bhaaminifu kwa mambo ghoha.
12 Mashemashi bhanalombanje matala, numbe bhakombolanje kulongoya ashibhana bhabhonji na makaja gabhonji ukoto.
Bhashemasi lazima bhajhelayi bhagosi bha n'dala mmonga mmonga. Lazima bhabhuesiajhi kubhajhemelela kinofu bhana bhabhi ni bha munyumba jha bhene.
13 Pabha bhatendanga liengo ukoto nnikanisha, bhanapatanga kushimilika ukoto, nikola mashili ga bheleketa kwa makangala, ga ngulupai yabhonji nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu.
Kwa kujha bhala bhabhitumikila kinofu bhikabha msimamo bhunofu ni bhujasiri mbaha mu imani jhajhijhele mwa Kristu Yesu.
14 Ngunakunnjandishila gegano, akuno nguliganishiya kuti ngakabha kwiya kweneko.
Nilemba mambo agha kwa bhebhe, ni nilondeka kuhida kuhida kwa bhebhe karibuni naha.
15 Ikabheje monaga ngabhaga kwiya, bhai mmumanyanje shiikupinjikwa bhandu kutama nnikaja lya a Nnungu, yani nnikanisha lya a Nnungu bhakwete gumi, bhali lipoto, na nshingi gwa kweli.
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.
16 Bhai, pangali lipamba lyolyowe ga shinjubhi shikulu sha dini jetu, A Kilishitu bhakoposhele kwa shiilu sha shigundu, gubhakong'ondelwe naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo kuti bhakwete aki, gubhabhoneshe na ashimalaika. Gubhalungwiywe ku bhandu bha ilambo ina. Gubhakulupalilwe pa shilambolyo, nigubhanyakwilwe kunani muukonjelo.
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.”
