1 Timote 3
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
1Kricaa zaehhoihaih tok koeh kami loe, tok kahoih koeh kami ah ni oh, tiah thuih ih lok loe amsoem.
1This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires 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;
2The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;
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 a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
4a imthong khetzawn kop kami, a caanawk thuitaek thaih kami ah oh han angaih;
4one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;
5(angmah imthong mataeng doeh khenzawn thai ai kami mah loe Sithaw kricaabu to kawbangmaw khen thai tih?)
5(for how could someone who doesn’t know how to rule his own house take care of God’s assembly?)
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 new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as 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 good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling 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;
8Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money,
9toe kasae kahoih panoekhaih kaciim palungthin hoiah tang ih kathuk hmuen to kacakah patawn kami ah oh han angaih.
9holding the mystery of the 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.
10Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.
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.
11Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, and 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 servants be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
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 those who have served well gain for themselves a good standing and great boldness 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 you, hoping to come to you 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 wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in God’s house, which is the assembly 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.
16Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.
