1 Timoteyos 3
1 Hadalku waa run, Haddii nin doonayo shuqulka hoggaamiyaha kiniisadda, shuqul wanaagsan buu doonayaa.
This is a faithful saying, "If any man is seeking the office of a minister he is aspiring to a noble task."
2 Sidaas daraaddeed hoggaamiyaha kiniisaddu waa inuu ahaado mid aan ceeb lahayn, oo naag keliya qaba, oo feeyigan, oo digtoon, oo sharaf leh, oo martida soo dhoweeya, oo ku wanaagsan waxbaridda;
The minister should be a man of blameless character; he should be husband of but one wife; he should live a sober, self-restrained, orderly life; he should be hospitable, skilled in teaching;
3 oo uusan sakhraan noqon, oo uusan gacan fududaan, laakiin waa inuu noqdo mid tudhid badan, oo uusan ilaaq lahayn, oo uusan lacag jeclayn.
no drinker or brawler; but forbearing, peaceable, and no money- lover;
4 Waa inuu ahaado mid gurgiisa si wanaagsan ugu taliya, oo carruurtiisu ka dambeeyaan oo maamuusaan.
he should be a man who rules his own household well, and keeps his children ever under control and thoroughly well behaved.
5 Laakiin nin hadduusan garanayn si uu gurigiisa ugu taliyo, sidee buu kiniisadda Ilaah u xanaanayn doonaa?
For if a man does not know how to rule his own household, how shall he take charge of a church of God?
6 Waa inuusan ahaan mid dhowaan rumaystay, waaba intaasoo intuu kibro uu Ibliiska xukunkiisa ku dhacaaye.
He must not be a recent convert, lest he be blinded with pride, and incur the doom of the devil.
7 Weliba waa inuu markhaati wanaagsan ka helo kuwa dibadda ah, waaba intaasoo uu ku dhacaa cay iyo dabinka Ibliiska.
He should also have a good reputation among outsiders, lest he fall into reproach, and into a snare of the devil.
8 Sidaas oo kalena caawiyayaasha kiniisaddu waa inay ahaadaan dad la maamuuso oo ayan noqon laba-hadallayaal, oo ayan khamri badan cabbin, oo ayan faa'iidada ceebta ah jeclaan.
Deacons, likewise, must be serious, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of gain,
9 Waa inay qarsoodiga iimaanka qalbi daahir ah ku haystaan.
holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10 Kuwaas marka hore ha la tijaabiyo, dabadeedna sida iyagoo ah caawiyayaasha kiniisadda ha u adeegeen hadday eed la' yihiin.
They should first be tested, and after that, if they are found irreproachable, let them serve as deacons.
11 Sidaas oo kale dumarkuna waa inay digtoonaadaan oo ayan ahaan kuwa wax xanta. Waa inay feeyignaadaan, oo ay wax walba aamin ku ahaadaan.
Deaconesses likewise must be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
12 Caawiyayaasha kiniisaddu mid kastaaba naag keliya ha guursado, hana noqdeen kuwo si wanaagsan ugu talinaya carruurtooda iyo guryahooda.
Let deacons be the husband of but one wife, men who rule their children and their household properly.
13 Waayo, kuwa sida iyagoo ah caawiyayaasha kiniisadda si wanaagsan ugu adeega, waxay nafsaddooda u helaan derejo wanaagsan iyo dhiirranaan badan oo ay iimaanka Ciise Masiix ku dhiirran yihiin.
For those who have well discharged the duties of a deacon are gaining an honorable position for themselves, as well as much fearless confidence in the faith of Christ Jesus.
14 Waxaan rajaynayaa inaan dhowaan kuu imaado, laakiin waxaan waxyaalahan kuugu soo qorayaa,
Although I am hoping to come to you before long,
15 in, haddii aan wax badan raago, aad ogaato sida waajibka ah oo loogu camal fali lahaa guriga Ilaah dhexdiisa, oo ah kiniisadda Ilaaha nool iyo tiirka iyo aasaaska runtaa.
I am writing this to you in case I should be detained, to let you see how you ought to behave in the household of God - the Church of the everliving God, the pillar and mainstay of the truth.
16 Oo muranla'aan qarsoodiga cibaadadu waa weyn yahay. Isaga jidh baa lagu muujiyey, oo ruux baa xaq laga caddeeyey, malaa'iguhuna way arkeen, quruumahana waa laga dhex wacdiyey, dunidana waa laga rumaystay, ammaanna kor baa loogu qaaday.
Yes! without contradiction, great is the mystery of godliness!
