1 Timothi 3
1 Arah amiisak tiit: Miwah ah chaas phansiitte angsuh li abah, heh ih mootse thoon ah moot suh thunha.
This is a true saying, If any man desire the office of a Bishop, he desireth a worthie worke.
2 Chaas phansiitte ah moong ataang muh jaatjaat angtheng, heh sanuh ah esiit luulu jaatjaat angtheng, tenmang angtheng, heteewah jaatrep doh ejen naan ete nyia phanjangjang mina angtheng, heh nok nah sam awen ejen noppoonte jaatjaat angtheng; heh ih mih suh ejen nyootsoot ete jaatjaat etheng;
A Bishop therefore must be vnreproueable, the husband of one wife, watching, temperate, modest, harberous, apt to teache,
3 heh khammokte adoleh changrook mina lajaatjaat angjih, erah nang ih toongtang nyia semroongroong mina angtheng; heh ngun doh lamongnookte jaatjaat angtheng;
Not giuen to wine, no striker, not giuen to filthy lucre, but gentle, no fighter, not couetous,
4 heh changka ah naririh jen ih soksamte nyia hesuh hesah heh jeng chaatchaat ih ano heh soomtu arah mina jaatjaat angtheng.
One that can rule his owne house honestly, hauing children vnder obedience with all honestie.
5 Tumeah heh ih heh changka ah lajen koonchaaka bah, Rangte chaas ah tang mamah maajen ih kooncha ah?
For if any cannot rule his owne house, how shall he care for the Church of God?
6 Heh hanpi nah thungsek angtheng, lah angka bah heh ah engaampo lam nah re ano Juungbaan luungwang dut haatta likhiik ih dut haat arah ang ah.
He may not be a yong scholer, lest he being puffed vp fall into the condemnation of the deuill.
7 Heh ah chaas nah luulu lah angthang ih nokhoh phohoh nyia hahoh nah uh esoongraang ette mina jaat angtheng, eno ba heh ah rakriijih lampo nyia Juungbaan phoong nah tajen datka ang ah.
He must also be well reported of, euen of them which are without, lest he fall into rebuke, and the snare of the deuill.
8 Chaas roongchosokte loong ah uh neng ese dang ajang mina nyia jeng chaatchaat angtheng; neng khammokte nyia ngun doh nyamnyookte lah angjih jaatjaat;
Likewise must Deacons be graue, not double tongued, not giuen vnto much wine, neither to filthy lucre,
9 Neng ih thungsek taksek lam ih amiisak tuungmaang tiit dongjat thuk ha ah rongrong ih kap etjih jaatjaat.
Hauing the mysterie of the faith in pure conscience.
10 Neng ah chaas roongchosokte ih thiin suh jaakhoh taatsok chaak etjih, eno jen lang eah ih thoijat eno ba erah loong ah mothuk theng.
And let them first be proued: then let them minister, if they be found blameles.
11 Neng sanuh loong rah uh ese dang ajang mina angtheng nyia mih joobaatte lah angjih jaatjaat, neng ah tenmang nyia seklilih angtheng.
Likewise their wiues must be honest, not euill speakers, but sober, and faithfull in all things.
12 Chaas roongchosokte loong sanuh ah esiit luulu angtheng, eno hesuh hesah nyia heh changka ah naririh ih miisoksamte angtheng.
Let the Deacons be the husbands of one wife, and such as can rule their children well, and their owne housholdes.
13 Erah roongchosokte loong ah ih neng mootkaat ah naririh ih morum abah neng menset ese ang ah, eno Jisu Kristo suh tuungmaang tiitwaan ah lachoolaphaan jen baattaan rum ah.
For they that haue ministred well, get them selues a good degree, and great libertie in the faith, which is in Christ Iesus.
14 Ngah an jiinnah seek ih dong ra hangno an japtup suh taat thunhang, ang abah uh arah le maat raang halang ah langla,
These things write I vnto thee, trusting to come very shortly vnto thee.
15 lamok jen ra rangdoh, arah le dowa ih sen suh Rangte changka nah mame reeraang pakna jih ah jatthuk han, erah changka ah Ething Rangte chaas, amiisak tiit raang ih thonghong wokong likhiik.
But if I tary long, that thou maist yet know, how thou oughtest to behaue thy self in ye house of God, which is the Church of the liuing God, the pillar and ground of trueth.
16 Seng thooroom ah husah ni tumthan rak ah o ih uh tajen daanka ang ah: Heh ah mina jun ih dong taha, Eno Chiiala ih amiisak ih noisokta, nyia Rangsah loong ih tup rumta Heh tiit ah deek akaan rookwih tumbaatta, mongrep thoontang ni heh suh hanpi rumta, eno rangmong ni toonsiit wanta.
And without controuersie, great is the mysterie of godlinesse, which is, God is manifested in the flesh, iustified in the Spirit, seene of Angels, preached vnto the Gentiles, beleeued on in the world, and receiued vp in glorie.
