Abalabirizi b’Ekkanisa
3 (A)Ekigambo kyesigwa. Omuntu yenna bw’ayagalanga okuba Omulabirizi aba yeegombye omulimu omulungi. 2 (B)Noolwekyo Omulabirizi kimugwanira okuba nga taliiko kya kunenyezebwa, nga musajja wa mukazi omu, nga muntu eyeefuga, nga mwegendereza, nga mukwata mpola, ayaniriza abagenyi, era ng’amanyi okuyigiriza. 3 (C)Tateekwa kuba mutamiivu, era nga si mukambwe, wabula omuwombeefu, nga si muyombi era nga talulunkanira nsimbi. 4 (D)Ateekwa kuba ng’afuga bulungi amaka ge, abaana be nga bamuwulira, era nga bamussaamu ekitiibwa. 5 (E)Kubanga omuntu atasobola kufuga maka ge, alisobola atya okulabirira ekkanisa ya Katonda? 6 (F)Omulabirizi tateekwa kuba muntu eyaakakkiriza Kristo, si kulwa nga yeekuluntaza, n’asalirwa omusango nga Setaani bwe yagusalirwa. 7 (G)Asaanira okuba ng’assibwamu ekitiibwa abo abatali ba Kkanisa, si kulwa nga yeereetako ekivume.
Abadiikoni
8 (H)Abadiikoni nabo kibagwanira okuba abantu abassibwamu ekitiibwa abatataaganaaga mu bigambo byabwe, abatatamiira, era abatalulunkanira bintu, 9 (I)nga bakuuma ekyama ky’okukkiriza n’omutima omulongoofu. 10 Basookanga kugezesebwa balyoke baweereze mu budiikooni nga tebaliiko kya kunenyezebwa. 11 (J)N’abakazi Abadiikoni bwe batyo nabo kibagwanidde okubeeranga abassibwamu ekitiibwa, abatawaayiriza, abeegendereza, era abeesigwa mu buli kintu. 12 (K)Omudiikoni ateekwa okuba n’omukazi omu yekka, era ng’asobola okufuga obulungi abaana be, n’amaka ge. 13 Kubanga abaweereza obulungi bafuna ekifo ekya waggulu era baba n’obuvumu bungi mu kukkiriza okuli mu Kristo.
Ekyama Ekikulu
14 Nkuwandiikidde ebintu ebyo nga nsuubira okujja gy’oli mangu; 15 (L)kyokka bwe ndirwa omanye by’osaana okukola mu nnyumba ya Katonda, ye Ekkanisa ya Katonda omulamu, empagi n’omusingi eby’amazima. 16 (M)Tewali kubuusabuusa ekyama ky’okutya Katonda kikulu ddala, era kigamba nti:
“Yalabisibwa mu mubiri,
n’akakasibwa Omwoyo nga bw’atuukiridde,
n’alabibwa bamalayika,
n’alangibwa mu mawanga,
n’akkirizibwa mu nsi,
era n’atwalibwa n’ekitiibwa mu ggulu.”

Qualifications for Overseers and Deacons
3 Here is a trustworthy saying:(A) Whoever aspires to be an overseer(B) desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach,(C) faithful to his wife,(D) temperate,(E) self-controlled, respectable, hospitable,(F) able to teach,(G) 3 not given to drunkenness,(H) not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome,(I) not a lover of money.(J) 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full[a] respect.(K) 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?)(L) 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited(M) and fall under the same judgment(N) as the devil. 7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders,(O) so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.(P)
8 In the same way, deacons[b](Q) are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine,(R) and not pursuing dishonest gain. 9 They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience.(S) 10 They must first be tested;(T) and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.
11 In the same way, the women[c] are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers(U) but temperate(V) and trustworthy in everything.
12 A deacon must be faithful to his wife(W) and must manage his children and his household well.(X) 13 Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.
Reasons for Paul’s Instructions
14 Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, 15 if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church(Y) of the living God,(Z) the pillar and foundation of the truth. 16 Beyond all question, the mystery(AA) from which true godliness(AB) springs is great:
