< 1 Timothy 2 >
1 And so I beg you, first of all, to make supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings for all men,
ⲁ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ
2 for kings, and for all who are in high places, so that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and chastity.
ⲃ̅ⲉϫⲛ ⲛⲉⲣⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϩⲛ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲛⲟϭ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲁϩⲉ ⲉϥⲥϭ ⲣⲁϩⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥϩⲟⲣⲕ ϩⲛ ⲙⲛⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥϣⲏⲡ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ
4 who wants all men to be saved and to arrive at an acknowledgment of the truth.
ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲉϣⲧⲣⲉ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲱⲛϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ
5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and of 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 redemption for all, as a testimony in its proper time.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉ ϩⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ
7 Of this testimony, I have been appointed a preacher and an Apostle, (I speak the truth, I do not lie) as a teacher of the Gentiles, in faith and in truth.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲧ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲕⲏⲣⲩⲝ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲧⲉϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛϯϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲥⲁϩ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲙⲉ
8 Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension.
ⲏ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϣⲗⲏⲗ ϩⲙ ⲙⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲩϥⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϭⲓϫ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲭⲱⲣⲓⲥ ⲟⲣⲅⲏ ϩⲓ ⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ
9 Similarly also, women should be dressed fittingly, adorning themselves with compunction and restraint, and not with plaited hair, nor gold, nor pearls, nor costly attire,
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 in a manner proper for women who are professing piety by means of good works.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛϩⲛⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙϣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥϫⲓⲥⲃⲱ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲣⲁϣ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲅⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ
12 For I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to be in authority over a man, but to be in silence.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛϯϯⲙⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲣϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲣⲁϣ
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲇⲁⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲗⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲉⲩϩⲁ
14 And Adam was not seduced, but the woman, having been seduced, was in transgression.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲇⲁⲙ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲁⲡⲁⲧⲁ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲁⲡⲁⲧⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ
15 Yet she will be saved by bearing children, if she has continued in faith and love, and in sanctification accompanied by self-restraint.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲥⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϫⲡⲉ ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛϭⲱ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲛϩⲏⲧ
