1A faithful saying: if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
1He ol tah a uepom pai. Khat khat long ni hiphoelnah te a hue atah bibi then ni a hue.
2It behoveth therefore a bishop to be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, of good behaviour, chaste, given to hospitality, a teacher,
2Te dongah hiphoelkung he hmabuet la, yuu va pakhat la, aka khuel la, a cuepmueih la, mikcop la, moeihoeih la, khala la, om ham a kuek.
3Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but
3Yumi mahpawh, kuthlah mahpawh, a kodo saeh, hohmuh mahpawh, tangka moo mahpawh.
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity.
4Amah imkhui te a then la mawt saeh. A ca rhoek te hinomnah neh boengainah khuiah boeih om uh saeh.
5But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?
5Te dongah khat khat long ni amah imkhui te mawt ham a ming pawt atah Pathen kah hlangboel te metlam a cuncah eh?
6Not a neophyte: lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil.
6Tanoe hlangthai boel saeh. Te daengah ni koevoei uh pawt vetih rhaithae kah dumlai khuiah a cungku pawt eh.
7Moreover he must have a good testimony of them who are without: lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
7Te phoeiah poeng lamkah laipai then khueh ham a kuek. Te daengah ni hnaelcoenah neh rhaithae kah thaang dongah a cungku pawt eh.
8Deacons in like manner chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre:
8Te vanbangla tueihyoeih rhoek khaw a hinom saeh. Olrhak boel saeh. Misurtui te muep ngaithuen boel saeh. Tangkarhai boel saeh.
9Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience.
9A caih la mingcimnah neh tangnah olhuep te pom saeh.
10And let these also first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime.
10Amih te lamhma la nuemnai phoeiah cimbit la aka om loh bi saeh.
11The women in like manner chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things.
11a yuu rhoek khaw hinom saeh. Hmui yoi mahpawh, khuel saeh. A cungkuem dongah a uepom saeh.
12Let deacons be the husbands of one wife: who rule well their children, and their own houses.
12tueihyoeih rhoek he yuu pakhat kah va la om saeh. A ca rhoek neh amah imkhui te a then la mawt saeh.
13For they that have ministered well, shall purchase to themselves a good degree, and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
13Balh aka doedan rhoek long ni a paihmuen then a kutloh tih tangnah neh Jesuh Khrih ah muep a sayalh.
14These things I write to thee, hoping that I shall come to thee shortly.
14He rhoek he nang ham ka daek tih nang taengah thamaa la pawk ham ka ngaiuep.
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.
15Tedae ka koe mai atah Pathen imkhui kah a kuek khosak te na ming van ni. Te tah aka hing Pathen kah hlangboel, oltak kah rhungsut neh khoengim pawn ni.
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.
16Hingcimnah olhuep kah a len he oelh om pawt la om. Amah tah pumsa ah tueng tih mueihla loh a tang sak te puencawn rhoek loh a hmuh. Namtom rhoek taengla a hoe dongah Diklai ah a tangnah uh tih thangpomnah neh a loh.
