1 Timote 3
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Kricaa zaehhoihaih tok koeh kami loe, tok kahoih koeh kami ah ni oh, tiah thuih ih lok loe amsoem.
1A faithful saying: if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2Kricaabu zaehoikung loe coek koi om ai kami, zu maeto khue tawn kami, poek angsum thaih kami, poektoeng kami, tuinuen hoih kami, angvin khetzawn kop kami, patuk thaih kami ah oh han oh;
2It behoveth therefore a bishop to be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, of good behaviour, chaste, given to hospitality, a teacher,
3mu coih kami na ai, minawk raihaih paek kami na ai, phoisa koeh hmoek kami na ai; toe palungsawk kami, lok angaek koeh ai kami, uthaih tawn ai kami,
3Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but
4a imthong khetzawn kop kami, a caanawk thuitaek thaih kami ah oh han angaih;
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity.
5(angmah imthong mataeng doeh khenzawn thai ai kami mah loe Sithaw kricaabu to kawbangmaw khen thai tih?)
5But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?
6Kricaa ah kaom kangtha kami to qoih han om ai, to tih ai nahaeloe amoekhaih hoiah om ueloe, taqawk lokcaekhaih thungah amtim moeng tih.
6Not a neophyte: lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil.
7Tasa bang ih kaminawk mah ahmin kahoih thuih ih kami ah oh han angaih; to tih ai nahaeloe kasae thuihaih hoi taqawk ih dongh pongah aman moeng tih.
7Moreover he must have a good testimony of them who are without: lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8To baktih toengah kricaabu zaehoikung kacoehtanawk loe poekcak han angaih, palai angphae kami na ai, mu nae hmoek kami na ai, katoeng ai ah hak ih phoisa koeh hmoek kami na ai;
8Deacons in like manner chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre:
9toe kasae kahoih panoekhaih kaciim palungthin hoiah tang ih kathuk hmuen to kacakah patawn kami ah oh han angaih.
9Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience.
10To kaminawk loe tanoek hmaloe han angaih; to pacoengah coek koi om ai nahaeloe, kricaabu zaehoikung kacoehta tok to sah o nasoe.
10And let these also first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime.
11To baktih toengah a zunawk doeh poekcak kami ah oh han angaih; minawk kasae thui ai kami, mu nae ai kami, hmuen boih ah oepthok kami ah oh han angaih.
11The women in like manner chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things.
12Kricaabu zaehoikung kacoehtanawk loe zu maeto khue tawn kami, a caanawk hoi imthong khenzawn thaih kami ah oh han angaih.
12Let deacons be the husbands of one wife: who rule well their children, and their own houses.
13Kricaabu zaehhoihaih tok to kahoih ah sah kaminawk loe, kacak Kri Jesu tanghaih palungthin tawnh o pongah, ahmin hoihaih hoi khingyahaih to hnu o tih.
13For they that have ministered well, shall purchase to themselves a good degree, and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
14Hae ca hae kang tarik, toe akra ai ah nang khaeah kang zoh han:
14These things I write to thee, hoping that I shall come to thee shortly.
15toe ka kra moeng nahaeloe, Sithaw im ah khosakhaih dan na panoek thai hanah hae ca hae kang tarik, Sithaw im loe kahing Sithaw ih kricaabu ah oh, kahing Sithaw kricaabu loe loktang lok angdoethaih ahmuen ah oh.
15But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
16Kathuk Sithaw bokhaih loe angaek han om ai khoek to len: Sithaw loe taksa ah amtueng, Anih to Muithla mah kamnoek ah amtuengsak moe, van kaminawk mah hnuk o, Gentelnawk khaeah tamthanglok to a thuih, long kaminawk mah tang o pacoengah, lensawkhaih hoiah van ah dawh tahang boeh.
16And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory.
