¹The word [is] faithful: if any one aspires to exercise oversight, he desires a good work.

¹Kacha vorba chachila: te mangela vari kon te avel manush kai del duma pa Del ande khangeri, kado manush mangel iek lashi diela.

²The overseer then must be irreproachable, husband of one wife, sober, discreet, decorous, hospitable, apt to teach;

²Iek manush kai del duma pa Del ande khangeri trobul te na avel chi iek dosh pe leste. Trobul te avel ferdi iek rhomni pala leste, trobul te arakhel pe, trobul te avel les lashe ginduria, ai te traiil malades, ai te premil mishto le manushen kai aven leste, ai te zhanel sar te sicharel.

³not given to excesses from wine, not a striker, but mild, not addicted to contention, not fond of money,

³Chi trobul chi te pel vai marelpe, ai chi te avel bi lasho, numa lasho, ai te rodel o mishtimos savorhenge; te avel les rhavda, ai chi trobul te avel leske zurales drago le love;

⁴conducting his own house well, having [his] children in subjection with all gravity;

⁴ai trobul te zhanel te sicharel peska familia, ai te sicharel peske glaten te pachan lesko mui ai te respektin les.

⁵(but if one does not know how to conduct his own house, how shall he take care of the assembly of God?)

⁵Ke o manush te chi zhanela te sicharel peska familia, katar sai lel sama katar e khangeri le Devleski?

⁶not a novice, that he may not, being inflated, fall into [the] fault of the devil.

⁶Kodo manush trobul te zhanel le Devles de dumult, ke te na nichi sai avela barimatango ai avela doshalo sar sas o beng.

⁷But it is necessary that he should have also a good testimony from those without, that he may fall not into reproach and [the] snare of the devil.

⁷Ai trobul vi te avel respektime katar le manush kai chi zhanen le Devles, saxke te na avel gratsia le manushenge ai te na perel andel atsaimata le bengeske.

⁸Ministers, in like manner, grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not seeking gain by base means,

⁸Le manush kai zhutin ande khangeri trobul vi won te aven respektime ai chache ileske; ai chi trobul te pen but mol ai chi te niril love atsaimasa.

⁹holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

⁹Won trobun te beshen ando chachimos kai si ando pachamos ai vuzhe gindosa.

¹⁰And let these be first proved, then let them minister, being without charge [against them].

¹⁰Trobul mai anglal te aven zumade, ai porme te na avela chi iek dosh pe lende sai kerena buchi sar manush kai zhutin ande khangeri.

¹¹[The] women in like manner grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.

¹¹Vi lenge zhuvlia trobul te aven respektime, ai te na pupuin; trobul te arakhenpe, ai te aven vorta ande soste godi.

¹²Let [the] ministers be husbands of one wife, conducting [their] children and their own houses well:

¹²O manush kai zhutil ande khangeri trobul te avel les ferdi iek rhomni, ai te zhanel sar te sicharel peske glaten ai peska familia.

¹³for those who shall have ministered well obtain for themselves a good degree, and much boldness in faith which [is] in Christ Jesus.

¹³Le manush kai zhutin ande khangeri kai keren pengi buchi malades respektimele katar le manush, ai sai den duma sa penge ilesa pa pachamos kai si ame le Jesus Kristosa.

¹⁴These things I write to thee, hoping to come to thee more quickly;

¹⁴Ramov tuke kado lil, numa murho gindo si te zhav te dikhav tu sar mai sigo.

¹⁵but if I delay, in order that thou mayest know how one ought to conduct oneself in God's house, which is [the] assembly of [the] living God, [the] pillar and base of the truth.

¹⁵Numa te chi dikhasa ame strazo, kako lil dela tu te zhanes sar trobul te traiil pe ande familia le Devleske, kodia si ande khangeri le Devleski O Del o zhuvindo, ke wo si e kolon ai kuko kai ankerel o chachimos.

¹⁶And confessedly the mystery of piety is great. God has been manifested in flesh, has been justified in [the] Spirit, has appeared to angels, has been preached among [the] nations, has been believed on in [the] world, has been received up in glory.

¹⁶E khonik nashti mothol ke nai kadia o barolo o chachimos o garado amare pachamasko. O Del sikadilo sar iek manush, ai O Swunto Duxo sikadia ke chacho sas, le angeluria dikhle les. Ai phendo sas pa leste ande sa e lumia, ai le manush pachaiepe ande leste,ai porme sas lino opre ando rhaio.
