1 H adalku waa run, Haddii nin doonayo shuqulka hoggaamiyaha kiniisadda, shuqul wanaagsan buu doonayaa.

This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work.

2 S idaas 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;

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;

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

not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;

4 W aa inuu ahaado mid gurgiisa si wanaagsan ugu taliya, oo carruurtiisu ka dambeeyaan oo maamuusaan.

one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence

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

(for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?);

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

not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.

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

Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. Qualifications of Deacons

8 S idaas 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.

Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money,

9 W aa inay qarsoodiga iimaanka qalbi daahir ah ku haystaan.

holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.

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

But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless.

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

Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

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

Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

13 W aayo, 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

For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. The Great Mystery

14 W axaan rajaynayaa inaan dhowaan kuu imaado, laakiin waxaan waxyaalahan kuugu soo qorayaa,

These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly;

15 i n, 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.

but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

16 O o 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.

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.
