1 Timothy 2
1 My desire is, first of all, that you will make requests and prayers and give praise for all men;
Ningĩ, nĩngũkũringĩrĩria atĩ mbere ya maũndũ mothe kũhooyagwo mahooya ma kũhoera mabata ma andũ na makũhooyanĩra, na ma gũthaithanĩrĩra, na ma gũcookia ngaatho, nĩ ũndũ wa andũ othe:
2 For kings and all those in authority; so that we may have a calm and quiet life in all fear of God and serious behaviour.
Ningĩ mũhooyagĩre athamaki na arĩa othe mathanaga. Hooyagai nĩgeetha tũtũũrage na mũtũũrĩre wa thayũ na tũhooreire tũgĩtĩĩaga Ngai maũndũ-inĩ mothe na tũrĩ na ũtheru.
3 This is good and pleasing in the eyes of God our Saviour;
Ũndũ ũcio nĩ mwega, na nĩũkenagia Ngai Mũhonokia witũ,
4 Whose desire is that all men may have salvation and come to the knowledge of what is true.
o we wendete andũ othe mahonokio na mamenye ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma.
5 For there is one God and one peacemaker between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
Nĩgũkorwo kũrĩ Ngai o ũmwe, na mũiguithania o ũmwe wa kũiguithania Ngai na andũ, nake nĩwe mũndũ, o we Kristũ Jesũ,
6 Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time;
ũrĩa werutire atuĩke wa gũkũũra andũ othe. Naguo ũira wa ũhoro ũcio nĩwaheanirwo ihinda rĩaguo rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire rĩakinya.
7 And of this I became a preacher and an Apostle (what I say is true, not false, ) and a teacher of the Gentiles in the true faith.
Na ũhoro ũcio nĩguo watũmire nduĩke mũhunjia o na mũtũmwo waguo na niĩ ndĩraaria ũhoro wa ma, ndiraheenania. Ndatuĩkire mũrutani wakũrutaga andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ ũhoro wa gwĩtĩkia o na ũhoro wa ma.
8 It is my desire, then, that in every place men may give themselves to prayer, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or argument.
Ngwenda atĩ arũme mahoithagie kũndũ guothe moete moko matheru na igũrũ, matarĩ na marakara kana ngarari.
9 And that women may be dressed in simple clothing, with a quiet and serious air; not with twisted hair and gold or jewels or robes of great price;
O na ningĩ ngwenda atĩ andũ-a-nja mehumbage wega na nguo itarĩ cia kwĩonania marĩ na mĩthiĩre yagĩrĩire, na marĩ na ũũgĩ wa ngoro, na matikegemagie na kũrama njuĩrĩ, kana na thahabu, kana ruru, o na kana nguo iria cia goro mũno,
10 But clothed with good works, as is right for women who are living in the fear of God.
no makoragwo marĩ na ciĩko njega, iria ciagĩrĩire andũ-a-nja arĩa moimbũraga atĩ nĩ ahooi Ngai.
11 Let a woman quietly take the place of a learner and be under authority.
Mũndũ-wa-nja aagĩrĩirwo erutage maũndũ akindĩirie na enyiihĩtie biũ.
12 In my opinion it is right for a woman not to be a teacher, or to have rule over a man, but to be quiet.
Ndingĩĩtĩkĩria mũndũ-wa-nja arutanage kana aathage mũndũ mũrũme; no nĩaikarage akindĩirie.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve;
Nĩgũkorwo Adamu nĩwe wombirwo mbere, Hawa agĩcookerera.
14 And Adam was not taken by deceit, but the woman, being tricked, became a wrongdoer.
Ningĩ Adamu tiwe waheenirio; nĩ mũndũ-wa-nja waheenirio agĩtuĩka mwĩhia.
15 But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth.
No rĩrĩ, andũ-a-nja nĩ makaahonoka nĩ ũndũ wa gũciara ciana, mangĩtũũra metĩkĩtie marĩ na wendani na andũ atheru, o na marĩ na ũũgĩ wa ngoro.
