1 Timoteo 3
1 Ɛyɛ sɛnnahɔ sɛ, sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔyɛ asafopanin a, na wafa adwuma pa.
Enjango ewe ehwaminiha: nkashele umuntu asongwa abhe Mwemelezi, ahwanza embombo enyinza.
2 Asafopanin yɛ obi a mfomsoɔ nni ne ho. Ɛsɛ sɛ ne yere yɛ baako. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbrɛ ne ho ase na ɔhyɛ ne ho so yɛ ne biribiara pɛpɛɛpɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔgye ahɔhoɔ wɔ ne fie na ɔkyerɛkyerɛ nso.
Omwemelezi lazima asabhe ne mbuno. Lazima abhe lume owasheomo nautele abhene kiasi, epyana, yali no utalatibu, opezi. Lazima abhe no uwezo owafundizye.
3 Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔsadweam anaa basabasa, na mmom, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbrɛ ne ho ase na ɔpɛ asomdwoeɛ. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ sikaniberefoɔ.
Agajebhe wamwele evikali, asibhe wibho, abhe hogowe, abhe no lungano. Lazima asabhe wagane ehela.
4 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtumi hwɛ ne fiefoɔ so yie na ɔtumi ma ne mma yɛ ɔsetie de obuo ne anidie ma no.
Ebhanziwaje abhemelelaje shinza abhantu abhakhaya yakwe, na bhana bhakwe, ehwanziwaaje bhogopaje no lwiho lwunti.
5 Na sɛ obi nnim sɛdeɛ ɔhwɛ ne fie so yie a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na ɔbɛtumi ahwɛ Onyankopɔn asafo so?
Nkashele omntu samenye abhemelele abhantu bhakhaya yakwe yoyo, abhasonjewole ikaisa elya ikanisa elya Ngolobhe?
6 Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ obi a afei na wahunu Awurade; sɛ ɛba saa a, ne tirim bɛyɛ no dɛ na wayɛ ahomasoɔ ama wɔabu no atɛn sɛdeɛ wɔbuu ɔbonsam atɛn no.
Asabhe puti opya, asahenzeaga hwiyaula nagwe naibongwe nashi obhibhi.
7 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔnnyɛ akyidifoɔ no mpo de anidie ma no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔrengu nʼanim ase na ɔbonsam afidie renyi no.
Lazima ne njendo enyinza wabhala bhonti bhabhali hwonze, asahenze agagwa akenye no tego ogwa bhibhi.
8 Ɛsɛ sɛ asafo mu aboafoɔ nso yɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ suban pa na wɔdi nokorɛ. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔnom nsã pii anaasɛ wɔyɛ aniberefoɔ.
Ashemansi shesho, ehwanziwa aje bhabhe ajimbe nehema, bhasabhene nijango embibhi. Bhasamwele evikhali ashile ekawaida olwenje abhenetama.
9 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde adwenem fann gyina pintinn ma nokorɛ no ne gyidie no.
Abhewawute humwoyo uginza gula ogwe lyali ne imani yehifhinguliwe.
10 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsɔ wɔn hwɛ ansa, na sɛ wɔdi sɔhwɛ no so nkonim a, wɔasom.
Bhabhe bhenyezewe nasoti, alafu bhafunzizye afwatane sebhali ne mbumo.
11 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn yerenom nso wɔ suban pa a wɔnni nsekuro. Biribiara mu ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbrɛ wɔn ho ase di nokorɛ.
Abhashe shesho bhabhe no lwiho. Bhasahabhe bhasinjizi. Bhabhe hashe no waminifu hu mambo gonti.
12 Ɛsɛ sɛ asafo no mu ɔboafoɔ no wɔ yere baako na afei ɔtumi hwɛ ne mma ne ne fiefoɔ yie.
Ashemansi bhabhe bhalume ebhebhashe omo omo. Lazima bhabhemelelaje abhana bhabhowekhaya ziabho.
13 Wɔn a wɔsom yie no bɛnya nnyinaso pa, na wɔn gyidie a wɔwɔ wɔ Kristo Yesu mu no nso ayɛ nam.
Bhala bhabha bhombashinza bhapata olwemelelo olwinza nodandamu ogosi, hiyimani yeli hwa Kristi oYesu.
14 Saa nwoma a mede rebrɛ wo yi akyi no, mewɔ anidasoɔ sɛ ɛrenkyɛre biara mɛba wo nkyɛn.
Ehandishe amambo ega hulimwe enzahwenze hulimwe sheshi karibu.
15 Na sɛ mannuru wo nkyɛn ntɛm a, saa nwoma yi bɛma woahunu sɛdeɛ yɛbɔ yɛn bra wɔ Onyankopɔn fie. Efie a ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn teasefoɔ no asafo a ɛyɛ nokorɛ no nnyinasoɔ.
Nkashe nolobhela, esimba omanye eshabhale hunyumba ya Ngolobhe, yashelelili likanisa lya Ngolobhe, yali mwomi owemelelo nwelioli.
16 Akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho sɛ, ahintasɛm a ɛwɔ nyamesom pa mu no krɔnn: Ɔbaeɛ onipa tebea mu, Honhom no buu no bem, na abɔfoɔ hunuu no, wɔkaa ne ho asɛm amanaman mu, na ewiase gyee no diiɛ, wɔfaa no kɔɔ ɔsoro animuonyam mu.
Nasagahakhanwa aje lyoli eyebhuNgolobhe wawiguliwe ognsi: “Abhoneshe hubele, wazibitizya neRoho, wabhoneha wantumi, watangaziwa mwamwabho abhensi, bhasongwa ensiyonti, bhamwega amwanya hutukufu.”
