1 I t is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do.

Hadalku waa run, Haddii nin doonayo shuqulka hoggaamiyaha kiniisadda, shuqul wanaagsan buu doonayaa.

2 A n overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

Sidaas daraaddeed hoggaamiyaha kiniisaddu waa inuu ahaado mid aan ceeb lahayn, oo naag keliya qaba, oo feeyigan, oo digtoon, oo sharaf leh, oo martida soo dhoweeya, oo ku wanaagsan waxbaridda;

3 n ot addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money.

oo uusan sakhraan noqon, oo uusan gacan fududaan, laakiin waa inuu noqdo mid tudhid badan, oo uusan ilaaq lahayn, oo uusan lacag jeclayn.

4 H e must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity

Waa inuu ahaado mid gurgiisa si wanaagsan ugu taliya, oo carruurtiisu ka dambeeyaan oo maamuusaan.

5 ( but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?),

Laakiin nin hadduusan garanayn si uu gurigiisa ugu taliyo, sidee buu kiniisadda Ilaah u xanaanayn doonaa?

6 a nd not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil.

Waa inuusan ahaan mid dhowaan rumaystay, waaba intaasoo intuu kibro uu Ibliiska xukunkiisa ku dhacaaye.

7 A nd he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Weliba waa inuu markhaati wanaagsan ka helo kuwa dibadda ah, waaba intaasoo uu ku dhacaa cay iyo dabinka Ibliiska.

8 D eacons likewise must be men of dignity, not double-tongued, or addicted to much wine or fond of sordid gain,

Sidaas oo kalena caawiyayaasha kiniisaddu waa inay ahaadaan dad la maamuuso oo ayan noqon laba-hadallayaal, oo ayan khamri badan cabbin, oo ayan faa'iidada ceebta ah jeclaan.

9 b ut holding to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.

Waa inay qarsoodiga iimaanka qalbi daahir ah ku haystaan.

10 T hese men must also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons if they are beyond reproach.

Kuwaas marka hore ha la tijaabiyo, dabadeedna sida iyagoo ah caawiyayaasha kiniisadda ha u adeegeen hadday eed la' yihiin.

11 W omen must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.

Sidaas oo kale dumarkuna waa inay digtoonaadaan oo ayan ahaan kuwa wax xanta. Waa inay feeyignaadaan, oo ay wax walba aamin ku ahaadaan.

12 D eacons must be husbands of only one wife, and good managers of their children and their own households.

Caawiyayaasha kiniisaddu mid kastaaba naag keliya ha guursado, hana noqdeen kuwo si wanaagsan ugu talinaya carruurtooda iyo guryahooda.

13 F or those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

Waayo, kuwa sida iyagoo ah caawiyayaasha kiniisadda si wanaagsan ugu adeega, waxay nafsaddooda u helaan derejo wanaagsan iyo dhiirranaan badan oo ay iimaanka Ciise Masiix ku dhiirran yihiin. Cibaadada Weynaanteeda

14 I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you before long;

Waxaan rajaynayaa inaan dhowaan kuu imaado, laakiin waxaan waxyaalahan kuugu soo qorayaa,

15 b ut in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.

in, haddii aan wax badan raago, aad ogaato sida waajibka ah oo loogu camal fali lahaa guriga Ilaah dhexdiisa, oo ah kiniisadda Ilaaha nool iyo tiirka iyo aasaaska runtaa.

16 B y common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.

Oo muranla'aan qarsoodiga cibaadadu waa weyn yahay. Isaga jidh baa lagu muujiyey, oo ruux baa xaq laga caddeeyey, malaa'iguhuna way arkeen, quruumahana waa laga dhex wacdiyey, dunidana waa laga rumaystay, ammaanna kor baa loogu qaaday.
