Timoteuj I 3
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1MELEL kajoi pot et: Ma amen rapaki koa en pijop, a kin inon ion wiawia mau eu.
1This is a trustworthy saying: If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble task.
2A pijop o en pun, o warok en li ta men, o jo kowei kodo, a lelapok, o tiak mau, o apwali men kairu, o koiok on padak;
2An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3A der kamom joko, o jo pamara, a en materok, o der inon ion akamai, o der pok on moni.
3not dependent on wine, not violent but gentle, peaceable, and free of the love of money.
4Me kin kaunda mau pein toun im a, o me na jeri kan kin peiki on ni tiak pun.
4An overseer must manage his own household well and keep his children under control, with complete dignity.
5A ma amen, me jokoiok on kaunda pein toun im a, iaduen a pan kak kaunda momodijou en Kot?
5For if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for the church of God?
6Pil kaidin jaulan kap amen, pwe a ende aklapalap, ap lodi on kadeik en tewil.
6He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same condemnation as the devil.
7O en pil kalok mau ren me mi liki, pwe a de lodi on kanamenok o katikatiamau pan tewil.
7Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil.
8Pil dueta jaunkoa kan en lelapok, jo lo riapot, jo kamom joko, jo noroke moni.
8Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued or given to much wine or greedy for money.
9Me kin kolekol nan injen arail makelekel rir en pojon.
9They must hold to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
10Mepukat en kajojonla maj, irail ap pan papa, ma irail me pun.
10Additionally, they must first be tested. Then, if they are above reproach, let them serve as deacons.
11Pil dueta en jaunkoa ar warok kan, ren wia me kon on, o jo likinekine, o jo kowei kodo, o melel ni meakaroj.
11In the same way, the women must be dignified, not slanderers, but temperate and faithful in all things.
12Jaunkoa kan en warok en li ta men o ren kaunda mau nair jeri kan o toun im arail.
12A deacon must be the husband of but one wife, a good manager of his children and of his own household.
13A me papa mau, kin kalok maui pein irail, o re pan pereperenki melel pojon me mi ren Krijtuj Iejuj.
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.
14Mepukat i intin won uk, o i kaporoporeki, me i pan pwarala re om madan.
14Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these things
15A ma i pwapwand, koe en aja duen me koe pan wia nan tanpaj en Kot, iei momodijou en Kot ieiaj, o ur o pajon en melel.
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.
16Meid lapalap rir en pai ren Kot: Kot janjaleda ni uduk, ap diarokada me pun amen ren Nen, ap pwaralan tounlaw kan, ap lolok on men liki kan, ap kamelel lar ren toun jappa, ap peukadalan waja linan.
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.
