1This is a trustworthy saying: If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble task.
1Kas pwaye se pa inge: sie mwet fin kena tuh elan sie mwet sropo lun church, el sulela sie orekma arulana wo.
2An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
2Sie mwet sropo lun church enenu in sie mwet wangin mwatal, su mukul tumun mutan sefanna; el sifacna etal, sifacna leum facl, wo elahl, engan in eis mwet sac nu in lohm sel, ac etu in luti.
3not dependent on wine, not violent but gentle, peaceable, and free of the love of money.
3Elan tia sie mwet sruhi, ku sie mwet anwuk, a elan kulang ac tia lungse akukuin; oayapa elan tia sie mwet nunkun mani.
4An overseer must manage his own household well and keep his children under control, with complete dignity.
4Elan liyaung tuh ma nukewa in lohm sel in fahsr wo, ac oru tuh tulik natul in akosten ac etu sunak.
5For if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for the church of God?
5Tuh sie mwet fin tia ku in liyaung mwet in lohm sel sifacna, ac fuka tuh elan ku in liyaung church lun God?
6He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same condemnation as the devil.
6Tia enenu elan tufahna forla nu ke moul in Christian, tuh el fah tia filangak insial ac lisyukla oana Devil.
7Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil.
7Ac el fah sie su akfulatyeyuk sin mwet sayen mwet in church, ouinge el fah tia akmwekinyeyuk ac putatyang nu in mwe kwasrip lun Devil.
8Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued or given to much wine or greedy for money.
8Oayapa deacon ke church enenu in mwet ohi, ac mwet kaskas suwohs. Elos in tia mwet mwel wain ac tia rapkui mani.
9They must hold to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
9Elos enenu in sruokya ku ma pwaye su akkalemyeyuk ke lulalfongi, ke inse okak.
10Additionally, they must first be tested. Then, if they are above reproach, let them serve as deacons.
10Elos enenu in srikeyuk meet, na fin wangin mwatalos, elos fah ku in oru orekma lun deacon.
11In the same way, the women must be dignified, not slanderers, but temperate and faithful in all things.
11Mutan uh enenu pac in mwet ohi, tia lesrik, sifacna etalos, ac oaru in ma nukewa.
12A deacon must be the husband of but one wife, a good manager of his children and of his own household.
12Lela sie deacon elan mukul tumun mutan sefanna, ac liyaung wo tulik natul ac mwet nukewa in sou lal.
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.
13Tuh deacon nukewa su kulansap wo in ma kunalos ac fah ohi yurin mwet uh, na elos ac pulaik in fahkak lulalfongi lalos in Christ Jesus.
14Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these things
14Ke nga simis leta se inge nu sum, nga finsrak tuh nga in sa tuku nu yurum.
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.
15Tusruktu, nga fin pahtlac, leta se inge ac fah akkalemye ouiya ma fal nu sin mwet in sou lun God, aok church lun God moul, elos su sru ac pwelung lun ma pwaye.
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.
16Wangin mwet ku in lafwekin yokiyen mwe luti pwaye lun God ma akkalemyeyuk nu sesr: El sikyak in luman mwet, Ac Ngun el akkalemye pwaye ac suwohs lal, El oayapa liyeyuk sin lipufan. Fwackyak el inmasrlon mutanfahl uh, Ac lulalfongiyuk el fin faclu nufon, Na utukyak el nu inkusrao.
