1 Timothy 2
1 Te dongah rhenbihnah, thangthuinah, rhikhangnah, uemonah te hlang boeih yueng, manghai rhoek neh dudapnah dongah aka om rhoek boeih yueng la boeih saii lamhma ham kam bih.
This then I exhort thee first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings he made for all men;
2 Te daengah ni khosaknah he hingcimnah neh hinomnah cungkuem dongah rhalthal neh dingsuek la kho n'sak uh eh.
particularly for kings, and all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all piety and virtue.
3 He ni he then tih mamih kah khangkung Pathen hmaiah mikcop la om.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour:
4 Amah loh hlang boeih khang ham neh oltak mingnah la pha sak ham a ngaih.
who is willing that all men should be saved, and therefore come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 Pathen tah pakhat ni. Pathen neh hlang rhoek kah rhikhangkung tah hlang Jesuh Khrih pakhat ni a om.
For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus:
6 Amah loh hlang boeih ham tlansum la paek tih laipainah te amah tue ah a tueng sak.
who gave himself a ransom for all, a testimony to be published in due time,
7 Te ham olhoe neh caeltueih la kai n'khueh dongah oltak ni ka thui. Tangnah neh oltak dongah kai namtom kah saya he ka laithae moenih.
for which I was appointed a herald and an apostle. I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not; I am a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 Te dongah hmuen takuem ah tongpa rhoek te thintoek neh oelhtaihnah om kolla kut cim te phuel tih thangthui sak ka ngaih.
I direct therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands without wrath and debate:
9 Te vanbangla huta rhoek khaw amamih he bainak dongah yahyongnah, cuepmueihnah neh mikcop la khoem uh saeh. Samvaeh neh sui neh laitha neh pueinak phutlo nen moenih.
likewise that women dress themselves in decent apparel with modesty and prudence, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly garments;
10 Tedae bibi then neh Pathen hinyahnah ham ol a caeng te huta rhoek ham rhoeh coeng.
but in good works, as becometh women professing godliness.
11 Huta tah a cungkuem dongah boengainah neh kammueh la cang saeh.
Let the woman learn in silence with all submission: but I permit not a woman to teach,
12 Te dongah huta loh thuituen ham neh tongpa soah ka tanglue sak pawh. Tedae kammueh la om sak ham ni ka ngaih.
nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be silent.
13 Adam tah Eve hlanah a hlinsai lamhma ta.
For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 Te phoeiah Adam te a hmilhmak moenih. Tedae huta tah boekoeknah la om ham a hoilae pah coeng.
And Adam was not seduced by the serpent, but the woman being led astray was first in the transgression.
15 Tedae tangnah dongah lungnah neh cimcaihnah, cuepmueihnah neh a om uh atah cacunnah rhangneh daem ni.
Yet shall she be saved through childbirth, if they continue in faith and love, in holiness and modesty.
