King James Version with Apocrypha
1He ol tah a uepom pai. Khat khat long ni hiphoelnah te a hue atah bibi then ni a hue.
1This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
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.
2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3Yumi mahpawh, kuthlah mahpawh, a kodo saeh, hohmuh mahpawh, tangka moo mahpawh.
3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4Amah imkhui te a then la mawt saeh. A ca rhoek te hinomnah neh boengainah khuiah boeih om uh saeh.
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5Te dongah khat khat long ni amah imkhui te mawt ham a ming pawt atah Pathen kah hlangboel te metlam a cuncah eh?
5(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6Tanoe hlangthai boel saeh. Te daengah ni koevoei uh pawt vetih rhaithae kah dumlai khuiah a cungku pawt eh.
6Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation 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.
7Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8Te vanbangla tueihyoeih rhoek khaw a hinom saeh. Olrhak boel saeh. Misurtui te muep ngaithuen boel saeh. Tangkarhai boel saeh.
8Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
9A caih la mingcimnah neh tangnah olhuep te pom saeh.
9Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10Amih te lamhma la nuemnai phoeiah cimbit la aka om loh bi saeh.
10And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
11a yuu rhoek khaw hinom saeh. Hmui yoi mahpawh, khuel saeh. A cungkuem dongah a uepom saeh.
11Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
12tueihyoeih rhoek he yuu pakhat kah va la om saeh. A ca rhoek neh amah imkhui te a then la mawt saeh.
12Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
13Balh aka doedan rhoek long ni a paihmuen then a kutloh tih tangnah neh Jesuh Khrih ah muep a sayalh.
13For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
14He rhoek he nang ham ka daek tih nang taengah thamaa la pawk ham ka ngaiuep.
14These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
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.
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.
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.
16And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
