1 Timothy 2
1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone—
ⲁ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ
2 for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.
ⲃ̅ⲉϫⲛ ⲛⲉⲣⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϩⲛ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲛⲟϭ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲁϩⲉ ⲉϥⲥϭ ⲣⲁϩⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥϩⲟⲣⲕ ϩⲛ ⲙⲛⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ
3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥϣⲏⲡ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ
4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲉϣⲧⲣⲉ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲱⲛϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ
5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ
6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉ ϩⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ
7 For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲧ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲕⲏⲣⲩⲝ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲧⲉϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛϯϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲥⲁϩ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲙⲉ
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.
ⲏ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϣⲗⲏⲗ ϩⲙ ⲙⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲩϥⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϭⲓϫ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲭⲱⲣⲓⲥ ⲟⲣⲅⲏ ϩⲓ ⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ
9 Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
ⲑ̅ⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲕⲟⲥⲙⲓ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥϭⲣⲉϩⲧ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲧⲥⲁⲛⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛϩⲱⲗⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲥⲟⲩⲛⲧⲟⲩ
10 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛϩⲛⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙϣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ
11 A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥϫⲓⲥⲃⲱ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲣⲁϣ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲅⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛϯϯⲙⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲣϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲣⲁϣ
13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲇⲁⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲗⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲉⲩϩⲁ
14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲇⲁⲙ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲁⲡⲁⲧⲁ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲁⲡⲁⲧⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ
15 Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲥⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϫⲡⲉ ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛϭⲱ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲛϩⲏⲧ
