1 Timothy 3

1 This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires a good work.

ཡདི ཀཤྩིད྄ ཨདྷྱཀྵཔདམ྄ ཨཱཀཱངྐྵཏེ ཏརྷི ས ཨུཏྟམཾ ཀརྨྨ ལིཔྶཏ ཨིཏི སཏྱཾ།

2 The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;

ཨཏོ྅དྷྱཀྵེཎཱནིནྡིཏེནཻཀསྱཱ ཡོཥིཏོ བྷརྟྲཱ པརིམིཏབྷོགེན སཾཡཏམནསཱ སབྷྱེནཱཏིཐིསེཝཀེན ཤིཀྵཎེ ནིཔུཎེན

3 not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;

ན མདྱཔེན ན པྲཧཱརཀེཎ ཀིནྟུ མྲྀདུབྷཱཝེན ནིཪྻྭིཝཱདེན ནིརློབྷེན

4 one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;

སྭཔརིཝཱརཱཎཱམ྄ ཨུཏྟམཤཱསཀེན པཱུརྞཝིནཱིཏཏྭཱད྄ ཝཤྱཱནཱཾ སནྟཱནཱནཱཾ ནིཡནྟྲཱ ཙ བྷཝིཏཝྱཾ།

5 (for how could someone who doesn’t know how to rule his own house take care of God’s assembly?)

ཡཏ ཨཱཏྨཔརིཝཱརཱན྄ ཤཱསིཏུཾ ཡོ ན ཤཀྣོཏི ཏེནེཤྭརསྱ སམིཏེསྟཏྟྭཱཝདྷཱརཎཾ ཀཐཾ ཀཱརིཥྱཏེ?

6 not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.

ཨཔརཾ ས གཪྻྭིཏོ བྷཱུཏྭཱ ཡཏ྄ ཤཡཏཱན ཨིཝ དཎྜཡོགྱོ ན བྷཝེཏ྄ ཏདརྠཾ ཏེན ནཝཤིཥྱེཎ ན བྷཝིཏཝྱཾ།

7 Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.

ཡཙྩ ནིནྡཱཡཱཾ ཤཡཏཱནསྱ ཛཱལེ ཙ ན པཏེཏ྄ ཏདརྠཾ ཏེན བཧིཿསྠལོཀཱནཱམཔི མདྷྱེ སུཁྱཱཏིཡུཀྟེན བྷཝིཏཝྱཾ།

8 Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money,

ཏདྭཏ྄ པརིཙཱརཀཻརཔི ཝིནཱིཏཻ རྡྭིཝིདྷཝཱཀྱརཧིཏཻ རྦཧུམདྱཔཱནེ ྅ནཱསཀྟཻ རྣིརློབྷཻཤྩ བྷཝིཏཝྱཾ,

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

ནིརྨྨལསཾཝེདེན ཙ ཝིཤྭཱསསྱ ནིགཱུཌྷཝཱཀྱཾ དྷཱཏིཝྱཉྩ།

10 Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.

ཨགྲེ ཏེཥཱཾ པརཱིཀྵཱ ཀྲིཡཏཱཾ ཏཏཿ པརམ྄ ཨནིནྡིཏཱ བྷཱུཏྭཱ ཏེ པརིཙཪྻྱཱཾ ཀུཪྻྭནྟུ།

11 Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, and faithful in all things.

ཨཔརཾ ཡོཥིདྦྷིརཔི ཝིནཱིཏཱབྷིརནཔཝཱདིཀཱབྷིཿ སཏརྐཱབྷིཿ སཪྻྭཏྲ ཝིཤྭཱསྱཱབྷིཤྩ བྷཝིཏཝྱཾ།

12 Let servants be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

པརིཙཱརཀཱ ཨེཀཻཀཡོཥིཏོ བྷརྟྟཱརོ བྷཝེཡུཿ, ནིཛསནྟཱནཱནཱཾ པརིཛནཱནཱཉྩ སུཤཱསནཾ ཀུཪྻྱུཤྩ།

13 For those who have served well gain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

ཡཏཿ སཱ པརིཙཪྻྱཱ ཡཻ རྦྷདྲརཱུཔེཎ སཱདྷྱཏེ ཏེ ཤྲེཥྛཔདཾ པྲཱཔྣུཝནྟི ཁྲཱིཥྚེ ཡཱིཤཽ ཝིཤྭཱསེན མཧོཏྶུཀཱ བྷཝནྟི ཙ།

14 These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly,

ཏྭཱཾ པྲཏྱེཏཏྤཏྲལེཁནསམཡེ ཤཱིགྷྲཾ ཏྭཏྶམཱིཔགམནསྱ པྲཏྱཱཤཱ མམ ཝིདྱཏེ།

15 but if I wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in God’s house, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

ཡདི ཝཱ ཝིལམྦེཡ ཏརྷཱིཤྭརསྱ གྲྀཧེ ྅རྠཏཿ སཏྱདྷརྨྨསྱ སྟམྦྷབྷིཏྟིམཱུལསྭརཱུཔཱཡཱམ྄ ཨམརེཤྭརསྱ སམིཏཽ ཏྭཡཱ ཀཱིདྲྀཤ ཨཱཙཱརཿ ཀརྟྟཝྱསྟཏ྄ ཛྙཱཏུཾ ཤཀྵྱཏེ།

16 Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.
