Timotheo I 3
1 Mme ke boammaaruri gore fa motho a batla go nna modisa wa phuthego, o eletsa tiro e e molemo.
Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος· εἴ τις ἐπισκοπῆς ὀρέγεται, καλοῦ ἔργου ἐπιθυμεῖ.
2 Gonne modisa wa phuthego (moruti) o tshwanetse ya bo e le motho yo botshelo jwa gagwe bo sa belaetseng. O tshwanetse go nna le mosadi a le mongwe fela, e le modiri yo o tlhaga, yo o dirisang tlhaloganyo yo o matsetseleko a bile a le ditiro di ntle. O tshwanetse go itumelela go amogela baeng mo lapeng la gagwe a bile a kgona go ruta Lefoko la Modimo sentle.
δεῖ οὖν τὸν ἐπίσκοπον ἀνεπίλημπτον εἶναι, μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρα, νηφάλιον, σώφρονα, κόσμιον, φιλόξενον, διδακτικόν,
3 Ga aa tshwanela go bo a le letagwa kgotsa moomani, mme o tshwanetse go nna bonolo le bopelonomi, a sa rate madi.
μὴ πάροινον, μὴ πλήκτην, ἀλλὰ ἐπιεικῆ, ἄμαχον, ἀφιλάργυρον,
4 Ba ntlo ya gagwe ba tshwanetse go nna le maitseo, e le bana ba ba utlwang ka bonako le ka tshisimogo.
τοῦ ἰδίου οἴκου καλῶς προϊστάμενον, τέκνα ἔχοντα ἐν ὑποταγῇ μετὰ πάσης σεμνότητος,
5 Gonne fa monna a sa ka ke a aga maitseo a ba ntlo ya gagwe, o ka thusa phuthego yotlhe jang?
(εἰ δέ τις τοῦ ἰδίου οἴκου προστῆναι οὐκ οἶδεν, πῶς ἐκκλησίας Θεοῦ ἐπιμελήσεται; )
6 Moruti ga a a tshwanela go bo e le Mokeresete yo mosha mo tumelong, gonne o ka tloga a ikgantsha ka go tlhophiwa ka bonako, mme maikgantsho a tla pele ga go wa. (Go wa ga ga Satane ke sekai).
μὴ νεόφυτον, ἵνα μὴ τυφωθεὶς εἰς κρίμα ἐμπέσῃ τοῦ διαβόλου.
7 Gape, o tshwanetse go kaiwa ka tshiamo ke batho ba ba kwa ntle ga phuthego, ba e seng Bakeresete, e se re kgotsa Satane a mo digela mo serung ka go mmaya melato e mentsi, mme a mo tlogele a sa gololesega go etelela phuthego ya gagwe pele.
δεῖ δὲ καὶ μαρτυρίαν καλὴν ἔχειν ἀπὸ τῶν ἔξωθεν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐμπέσῃ καὶ παγίδα τοῦ διαβόλου.
8 Batiakoni le bone ba tshwanetse go nna le tshiamo e e ntseng fela jalo, e le banna ba ba iketlileng jaaka baruti. Ga ba a tshwanela go bo e le matagwa le digagapa mo mading.
Διακόνους ὡσαύτως σεμνούς, μὴ διλόγους, μὴ οἴνῳ πολλῷ προσέχοντας, μὴ αἰσχροκερδεῖς,
9 Ba tshwanetse go nna tlhwaafalo, balatedi ba ba pelo dingwe fela ba ga Keresete, yo e leng motswedi o o fitlhegileng wa tumelo ya bone.
ἔχοντας τὸ μυστήριον τῆς πίστεως ἐν καθαρᾷ συνειδήσει.
10 Pele ga ba kopiwa go nna Batiakoni, ba tshwanetse go newa ditiro dingwe mo phuthegong e le go bona maitsholo (maitseo) a bone le nonofo, mme fa ba dira sentle, ke gone ba ka tlhophiwang go nna Batiakoni.
καὶ οὗτοι δὲ δοκιμαζέσθωσαν πρῶτον, εἶτα διακονείτωσαν ἀνέγκλητοι ὄντες.
11 Basadi ba bone ba tshwanetse go nna masisi, e se matagwa, e se basebi, mme ba ikanyega mo dilong tsotlhe tse ba di dirang.
γυναῖκας ὡσαύτως σεμνάς, μὴ διαβόλους, νηφαλίους, πιστὰς ἐν πᾶσιν.
12 Motiakoni mongwe le mongwe o tshwanetse go nna le mosadi a le mongwe ebile o tshwanetse go nna le lolwapa lo lo itumedisang lo lo nang le kutlo.
διάκονοι ἔστωσαν μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρες, τέκνων καλῶς προϊστάμενοι καὶ τῶν ἰδίων οἴκων.
13 Batiakoni ba ba dirang sentle ba tlaa duelwa ka tlotlo ke ba bangwe le go godisa boikanyo le bopelokgale jwa bone mo go ikanyeng Morena.
οἱ γὰρ καλῶς διακονήσαντες βαθμὸν ἑαυτοῖς καλὸν περιποιοῦνται καὶ πολλὴν παρρησίαν ἐν πίστει τῇ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.
14 Ke lo kwalela dilo tse jaanong, le fa ke solofela go nna le lona ka bonako,
Ταῦτά σοι γράφω ἐλπίζων ἐλθεῖν πρὸς σὲ τάχειον·
15 gore e re fa ke sa tle ka lobakanyana lo itse mofuta wa batho ba lo tshwanetseng go ba tlhopha go nna badiredi ba phuthego ya Modimo o o tshelang, e e nang le boammaaruri jo bo tletseng jwa Modimo.
ἐὰν δὲ βραδύνω, ἵνα εἰδῇς πῶς δεῖ ἐν οἴκῳ Θεοῦ ἀναστρέφεσθαι, ἥτις ἐστὶν ἐκκλησία Θεοῦ ζῶντος, στῦλος καὶ ἑδραίωμα τῆς ἀληθείας.
16 Go boammaaruri tota gore go tshelela Modimo ga go motlhofo. Mme karabo e mo go Keresete, yo o tsileng mo lefatsheng a le mo setshwanong sa motho, yo o supegileng a sena selabe a bile a itshekile mo Moweng wa gagwe, yo o diretsweng ke baengele, a rerwa mo dichabeng, a amogelwa ke batho gongwe le gongwe mme a amogelwa gape mo kgalalelong ya gagwe kwa legodimong.
καὶ ὁμολογουμένως μέγα ἐστὶν τὸ τῆς εὐσεβείας μυστήριον· Ὃς ἐφανερώθη ἐν σαρκί, ἐδικαιώθη ἐν πνεύματι, ὤφθη ἀγγέλοις, ἐκηρύχθη ἐν ἔθνεσιν, ἐπιστεύθη ἐν κόσμῳ, ἀνελήμφθη ἐν δόξῃ.
