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

It is true that if a man wants to be a church leader, he wants to do 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 church leader must be a good man. His life must be so no one can say anything against him. He must have only one wife and must be respected for his good living. He must be willing to take people into his home. He must be willing to learn and able to teach the Word of God.

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.

He must not get drunk or want to fight. Instead, he must be gentle. He must not have a love for money.

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

He should be a good leader in his own home. His children must obey and respect him.

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

If a man cannot be a good leader in his own home, how can he lead the church?

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

A church leader must not be a new Christian. A new Christian might become proud and fall into sin which is brought on by the devil.

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

A church leader must be respected by people who are not Christians so nothing can be said against him. In that way, he will not be trapped by the devil. What the Church Helpers Must Be Like

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.

Church helpers must also be good men and act so people will respect them. They must speak the truth. They must not get drunk. They must not have a love for money.

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

They must have their faith in Christ and be His follower with a heart that says they are right.

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

They must first be tested to see if they are ready for the work as church helpers. Then if they do well, they may be chosen as church helpers.

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.

The wives of church helpers must be careful how they act. They must not carry stories from one person to another. They must be wise and faithful in all they do.

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

Church helpers must have only one wife. They must lead their home well and their children must obey them.

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

Those who work well as church helpers will be respected by others and their own faith in Christ Jesus will grow. Why Paul Writes to Timothy

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

I hope to come to you soon. I am writing these things

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.

because it may be awhile before I get there. I wanted you to know how you should act among people in the church which is the house of the living God. The church holds up 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.

It is important to know the secret of God-like living, which is: Christ came to earth as a Man. He was pure in His Spirit. He was seen by angels. The nations heard about Him. Men everywhere put their trust in Him. He was taken up into heaven.
