1This is a trustworthy saying: If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble task.
1HE olelo oiaio keia, ina make make kekahi i ka oihana kahunapule, he hana maikai kana i makemake ai.
2An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
2Eia ka pono no ke kahunapule, he hala ole, he kane na ka wahine hookahi, he kiai ia ia iho, he kuoo, he akahai, he hookipa, he akamai hoi i ke ao aku;
3not dependent on wine, not violent but gentle, peaceable, and free of the love of money.
3Aole e lilo i ka waina, aole e kipikipi, aole hoi alunu wale; aka, e ahonui, a e hakaka ole, aole hoi makee waiwai;
4An overseer must manage his own household well and keep his children under control, with complete dignity.
4E hoomalu maikai ana i kona hale iho me ka hoolohe pono ia mai e kana mau keiki me ka hanohano.
5For if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for the church of God?
5No ka mea, ina i ike ole ke kanaka i ka hoomalu ana i kona hale iho, pehea la e hiki ai ia ia ke malama i ka ekalesia o ke Akua?
6He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same condemnation as the devil.
6Aole ka mea akahiakahi, o hookiekie ae oia a haule iloko o ka hoohewaia ana o ka diabolo.
7Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil.
7E pono hoi e hoaponoia mai ia e ka poe mawaho; o lilo i ka hoahewaia, a hei aku la i ke pahele a ka diabolo.
8Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued or given to much wine or greedy for money.
8Pela hoi na puuku ekalesia, e pono e noho kuoo, aole alelo lua, aole lilo i ka waina nui, aole hoi alunu wale;
9They must hold to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
9E hoopaa ana i ka mea pohihihi o ka manaoio me ka manao maemae.
10Additionally, they must first be tested. Then, if they are above reproach, let them serve as deacons.
10E hooiaio mua ia hoi lakou nei a ikea ka hala ole; alaila e lawe lakou i ka oihana puuku ekalesia.
11In the same way, the women must be dignified, not slanderers, but temperate and faithful in all things.
11Pela hoi ka lakou mau wahine, e pono e noho kuoo, me ke aki ole, me ka noho malie, e hoopono ana ma na mea a pau.
12A deacon must be the husband of but one wife, a good manager of his children and of his own household.
12E pono hoi e lawe pakahi na puuku ekalesia i ka wahine, e hoomalu pono ana hoi i ka lakou mau keiki a me ko lakou mau hale iho.
13For those who have served well as deacons acquire for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
13No ka mea, o ka poe i lawelawe pono i ka oihana puuku, ua loaa ia lakou kekahi pono nui, a me ka wiwo ole ma ka manaoio iloko o Kristo Iesu.
14Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these things
14O keia mau mea ka'u e palapala aku nei ia oe, me ka manao e hele koke aku iou la;
15in case I am delayed, so that you will know how each one must conduct himself in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.
15A i hakalia au, i ike oe i kou pono e hana ai maloko o ka hale o ke Akua, oia ka ekalesia o ke Akua ola, o ke kia a me ke kahua o ka olelo oiaio.
16By common confession, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the nations, was believed in throughout the world, was taken up in glory.
16Ua akaka no he mea nui ka mea pohihihi o ka manao i ke Akua: ua hoikeia mai ke Akua ma ke kino, ua hoaponoia mai e ka Uhane, ua ikea mai e na anela, ua haiia ku i ko na aina e, ua manaoio ia ma ke ao nei, a ua hookipaia'ku iluna i ka nani.
