1 Timoti 3
1 Ishoko rakatendeka rekuti: Kana munhu achishuva basa reutariri, anoshuva basa rakanaka.
Bhujobhi obho ndo bhwakuaminibhwa: Kama munu inoghela kujha msimamizi, inoghela mbombo jhinofu.
2 Naizvozvo mutariri anofanira kuva asina chaangapomerwa, murume wemukadzi umwe, wakazvibata, anozvidzora, ane chiremerera, anogamuchira vaeni, nyanzvi pakudzidzisa,
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 asiri muraradzi, asingafariri kurwa, asingakariri mibairo yakaipa, asi wakadzikama, asina gakava, asingakariri mari;
Asijhi itumila mvinyo, asijhi ghwa ngondo, bali mololo, jhaajhe ni amani. Na lasima asijhi munu jhaigana hela.
4 anobata imba yake pachake zvakanaka, anodzora vana vake nerukudzo rwese,
Jhilondeka kubhajhemelela kinofu bhanu bhamunyumba jha muene, ni bhana munu jhikabhalondeka kun'tii kwa litengo lyoha.
5 nokuti kana munhu asingazivi kubata imba yake pachake, achachengeta sei kereke yaMwari?
Ndabha jhikajhiaghe munu amanyili lepi kubhajhemela bhanu bha munyumba jha muene, ibetakulilela bhuli likanisa lya K'yara?
6 Asava mutendi mutsva, kuti nekukudzwa arege kuwira mukupiwa mhosva kwadhiabhorosi.
Asijhi mwamini mpya, ili kwamba asihidi kwifuna ni kubinila mu hukumu kama jhola mwovu.
7 Uyezve anofanira kuva neuchapupu hwakanaka kubva kune vari kunze, kuti arege kuwira mukumhurwa nemumusungo wadhiabhorosi.
Lazima kabhele ajhelayi ni sifa sinofu kwa bhanu bhoha bhabhajhele kwibhala ili asihidi kubina mu soni ni n'teghu ghwa mwovu.
8 Saizvozvo vadhikoni ngavave vanokudzwa, vasina manzwi maviri, vasingadi waini zhinji, vasingakariri fuma yakaipa,
Bhashemasi felafela bhilondeka kujha bhenye kustahili litengo, bhasijhi bhenye kauli sibhele. Bhasitumili mvinyo kup'eta kiasi au kujha ni tamaa.
9 vanochengeta chakavanzika cherutendo muhana yakachena.
Bhabhwesiajhi kujhitunza kwa dhamiri jhinofu jhila kweli jha imani jhajhafunulibhu.
10 Naivava ngavatange kuedzwawo, ipapo vangashumire, kana vasina chavangapomerwa.
Bhajhelayi kabhele bhasibitishibhu hoti, kabhele bhabhwesiajhi kuhudumu kwandabha bhajhelepi ni lawama.
11 Saizvozvo vakadzi vavo ngavave vanokudzwa, kwete vacheri, vanozvidzora, vakatendeka pazvese.
Bhadala mebhu bhajhelayi ni litengo. Bhasijhi bhadesi. Bhajhelajhi ni kiasi ni bhaaminifu kwa mambo ghoha.
12 Vadhikoni ngavave varume vemukadzi umwe, vanobata vana vavo nedzimba dzavo pachavo zvakanaka.
Bhashemasi lazima bhajhelayi bhagosi bha n'dala mmonga mmonga. Lazima bhabhuesiajhi kubhajhemelela kinofu bhana bhabhi ni bha munyumba jha bhene.
13 Nokuti avo vakashumira zvakanaka, vanozviwanira chimiro chakanaka, nekutsunga kukuru parutendo rwuri muna Kristu Jesu.
Kwa kujha bhala bhabhitumikila kinofu bhikabha msimamo bhunofu ni bhujasiri mbaha mu imani jhajhijhele mwa Kristu Yesu.
14 Zvinhu izvi ndinokunyorera, ndichitarisira kuuya kwauri nekukurumidza;
Nilemba mambo agha kwa bhebhe, ni nilondeka kuhida kuhida kwa bhebhe karibuni naha.
15 asi kana ndikanonoka, kuti uzive kuti vanofanira kufamba sei mumba maMwari, inova kereke yaMwari mupenyu, mbiru nehwaro hwechokwadi.
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 Zvinotendekawo kuti chakavanzika chekunamata Mwari chikuru; Mwari wakaratidzwa panyama, wakanzi wakarurama paMweya, wakaonekwa nevatumwa, akaparidzwa kuvahedheni, akatendwa panyika, akakwidzwa mukubwinya.
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.”
