Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires a good work.
1Kas pwaye se pa inge: sie mwet fin kena tuh elan sie mwet sropo lun church, el sulela sie orekma arulana wo.
2The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;
2Sie mwet sropo lun church enenu in sie mwet wangin mwatal, su mukul tumun mutan sefanna; el sifacna etal, sifacna leum facl, wo elahl, engan in eis mwet sac nu in lohm sel, ac etu in luti.
3not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
3Elan tia sie mwet sruhi, ku sie mwet anwuk, a elan kulang ac tia lungse akukuin; oayapa elan tia sie mwet nunkun mani.
4one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;
4Elan liyaung tuh ma nukewa in lohm sel in fahsr wo, ac oru tuh tulik natul in akosten ac etu sunak.
5(for how could someone who doesn’t know how to rule his own house take care of God’s assembly?)
5Tuh sie mwet fin tia ku in liyaung mwet in lohm sel sifacna, ac fuka tuh elan ku in liyaung church lun God?
6not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
6Tia enenu elan tufahna forla nu ke moul in Christian, tuh el fah tia filangak insial ac lisyukla oana Devil.
7Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.
7Ac el fah sie su akfulatyeyuk sin mwet sayen mwet in church, ouinge el fah tia akmwekinyeyuk ac putatyang nu in mwe kwasrip lun Devil.
8Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money,
8Oayapa deacon ke church enenu in mwet ohi, ac mwet kaskas suwohs. Elos in tia mwet mwel wain ac tia rapkui mani.
9holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
9Elos enenu in sruokya ku ma pwaye su akkalemyeyuk ke lulalfongi, ke inse okak.
10Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.
10Elos enenu in srikeyuk meet, na fin wangin mwatalos, elos fah ku in oru orekma lun deacon.
11Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, and faithful in all things.
11Mutan uh enenu pac in mwet ohi, tia lesrik, sifacna etalos, ac oaru in ma nukewa.
12Let servants be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
12Lela sie deacon elan mukul tumun mutan sefanna, ac liyaung wo tulik natul ac mwet nukewa in sou lal.
13For those who have served well gain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
13Tuh deacon nukewa su kulansap wo in ma kunalos ac fah ohi yurin mwet uh, na elos ac pulaik in fahkak lulalfongi lalos in Christ Jesus.
14These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly,
14Ke nga simis leta se inge nu sum, nga finsrak tuh nga in sa tuku nu yurum.
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.
15Tusruktu, nga fin pahtlac, leta se inge ac fah akkalemye ouiya ma fal nu sin mwet in sou lun God, aok church lun God moul, elos su sru ac pwelung lun ma pwaye.
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.
16Wangin mwet ku in lafwekin yokiyen mwe luti pwaye lun God ma akkalemyeyuk nu sesr: El sikyak in luman mwet, Ac Ngun el akkalemye pwaye ac suwohs lal, El oayapa liyeyuk sin lipufan. Fwackyak el inmasrlon mutanfahl uh, Ac lulalfongiyuk el fin faclu nufon, Na utukyak el nu inkusrao.
