¹Makono mpu'u lolita to mpo'uli' hewa toi: tauna to doko' jadi' pangkeni agama mpokahina bago to lompe'.

¹作监督的资格

²Toe pai' pangkeni agama kana to uma ria kasalaia' -na. Motobinei hadua-wadi, pai' kana na'inca mpengkatarii konoa nono-na to dada'a, monoto nono-na, pai' mo'ada lompe' -i. Kana jole' -i metorata, pai' baka' metudui'.

²所以作监督的，必须无可指摘，只作一个妻子的丈夫，有节制，自律，庄重，乐意接待客旅，善于教导，

³Uma ma'ala topalangu-langu ba to jolia motuda'. Kana to mo'olu nono-na, to tuwu' hintuwu' hante doo, pai' to uma doko' doi-wadi.

³不好酒，不打人，只要温和，与人无争，不贪财，

⁴Kana na'inca mpo'atoro' lompe' tauna to tida hi rala tomi-na, pai' ana' -na kana mengkoru hi totu'a-ra pai' mpobila' -ra.

⁴好好管理自己的家，使儿女凡事敬重顺服。

⁵Apa' ane ria tauna to uma mpo'incai mpo'atoro' tauna hi rala tomi-na moto, uma wo'o mpai' lompe' pompewili' -na ompi' -ompi' hampepangalaa' -ta, to mepangala' hi Alata'ala.

⁵（人若不知道怎样管理自己的家，怎能照料　神的教会呢？）

⁶Hadua pangkeni agama uma ma'ala to lako' mepangala' hi Pue' Yesus, apa' molangko mpai' nono-na, alaa-na mporata huku' -i hewa to rahuku' -ki Magau' Anudaa'.

⁶初信主的不可作监督，恐怕他骄傲，就落在魔鬼所受的刑罚里。

⁷Wae wo'o, pangkeni agama kana to uma ria kasalaia' -na hi poncilo tauna to bela-ra to Kristen. Apa' ane uma-i hewa toe, ratuntui' -i mpai', alaa-na Magau' Anudaa' mposori pai' mpopanawu' -i.

⁷作监督的也必须在教外有好声誉，免得他被人毁谤，就落在魔鬼的陷阱里。

⁸Wae wo'o-hawo kehi to ratuntu' hi tauna to jadi' topetulungi hi pobago Pue'. Kana to monoto kehi-ra pai' to natao rabila'. Uma ma'ala to boa', uma ma'ala to nginu nta'uo' to melanguhi, pai' uma ma'ala to mpopekiri doi-wadi.

⁸作执事的资格照样，执事也必须庄重，不一口两舌，不酗酒，不贪不义之财，

⁹Kana mpokakamu mpu'u-ra tudui' to naparata-mitaka Alata'ala, pai' mpotuku' tudui' toe hante karoli' -roli' nono-ra.

⁹用清洁的良心持守信仰的奥秘。

¹⁰Ane ria tauna to doko' jadi' topetulungi hi pobago Pue', raparesa' ulu kehi-na, pai' ane uma-i kasalaia', lako' ma'ala-idi ra'ongko' mpokamu bago toe.

¹⁰他们也必须先受考验，若没有可责之处，然后才让他们作执事。

¹¹Wae wo'o tobine-ra, kana to monoto kehi-ra pai' to natao rabila', neo' to ngkeni lolita hilou-tumai. Kana ra'inca mpengkatarii konoa nono-ra to dada'a, pai' monoa' gau' -ra bona ma'ala-ra rasarumaka hi butu nyala-na.

¹¹照样，他们的妻子（“他们的妻子”可解作“女执事”）也要庄重，不说谗言，有节制，凡事忠心。

¹²Topetulungi hi pobago Pue', motobinei hadua-wadi, kana ra'inca mpo'atoro' lompe' ana' -ra pai' tauna to hi rala tomi-ra.

¹²执事只可以作一个妻子的丈夫，善于管理儿女和自己的家。

¹³Ane lompe' pobago-ra mpobago bago Pue', wori' tauna mpobila' -ra, pai' hangkedi' kabia' -ra mpololita pepangala' -ra hi Kristus Yesus.

¹³那善于作执事的，就为自己得了好的位分，也因着相信基督耶稣得到大大的胆量。

¹⁴Timotius, moliwo-ama tilou mpencuai' -ko. Aga nau' wae, ku'uki' moto-koko sura toi,

¹⁴伟大的敬虔奥秘我把这些事写给你，希望不久可以到你那里去；

¹⁵bona ane rapa' -na mahae-a mpai' rata, nu'inca napa po'ingku to natao hi butu dua tauna to napo'ana' Alata'ala. Apa' kita' toi, mepue' -ta hi Alata'ala to tuwu' duu' kahae-hae-na. Kita' toi-mi to ngkakamu tudui' to makono to ngkai Alata'ala. Moroho pepangala' -ta hi tudui' toe, pai' tajaga tudui' toe bona uma hema to mpobalii'.

¹⁵假如我来迟了，你也可以知道在　神的家里应该怎样行。这家就是永活　神的教会、真理的柱石和根基。

¹⁶Uma mowo kalompe' -na tudui' to tatuku' hi pengkoru-ta hi Alata'ala. Ngkai owi, tudui' toe ko'ia rapopehuwu hi manusia', tapi' hewa toe lau napopehuwu-mitaka Alata'ala. Apa' mepangala' -ta hi Alata'ala to mewali manusia'. Inoha' Tomoroli' mpakanoto kahema-na, pai' -i rahilo mala'eka. Rapalele kareba-na hi tauna to ko'ia mpo'incai Alata'ala. Tauna hi humalili' dunia' mepangala' hi Hi'a. Ra'ongko' -imi hilou hi suruga, pai' -i rawai' kabohea tuwu'.

¹⁶敬虔的奥秘真伟大啊，这是众人所公认的，就是：“他在肉身显现，在圣灵里称义，被天使看见；被传于列国，被世人信服，被接到荣耀里。”
