< 1 Timothy 2 >

1 And so I beg you, first of all, to make supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings for all men,
Maꞌahulun, au oꞌe nggi hule-oꞌe fe basa atahori ra. Mete ma hei hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain, moꞌe fo Ana tulu-fali basa atahori mana hambu sususaꞌ ra. Ma moꞌe makasi, huu Ana tao maloleꞌ neu basa se ena.
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.
Hule-oꞌe taꞌo naa fee mane-maneꞌ ra ro basa malangga ra. No taꞌo naa, basa hita tasodꞌa no mole-dꞌame, tungga Lamatualain hihiin. Masodꞌaꞌ naa nandaa soaꞌ neu atahori mana beꞌutee neu Lamatualain.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
Hule-oꞌe mataꞌ naa, maloleꞌ. Naa tao nemehoꞌo Lamatualain, mana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu hita.
4 who wants all men to be saved and to arrive at an acknowledgment of the truth.
Ana nau basa atahori hambu masodꞌaꞌ, ma rahine saa fo ndoo-tetuꞌ. Naeni:
5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
Lamatualain naa, esaꞌ a. Ma lelete o esaꞌ a boe. Leleta naa, naeni Yesus kristus mana nadameꞌ Lamatualain no hita atahori. Ma Yesus naa, memaꞌ atahoriꞌ tebꞌe-tebꞌe.
6 who gave himself as a redemption for all, as a testimony in its proper time.
Ana fee aon fo soitefa basa hita mia sala tara. Ndaa no fain, Lamatualain soi relo-relo Dudꞌui Malolen fo nafadꞌe neu basa atahori.
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.
Huu naa, Lamatualain pili nala au dadꞌi dedꞌenun ena, fo uu ufadꞌe atahori nda Yahudi ra sa sia bee-bꞌee, ma unori se fo ara ramahere Lamatuaꞌ Yesus no rasodꞌa tungga dala ndo tetuꞌ a. Saa fo au ufadꞌeꞌ ia, tebꞌe taꞌo naa. Au nda lelekoꞌ sa.
8 Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension.
Au hihii ngga taꞌo ia: sia bee-bꞌee, mete ma hei miꞌibꞌue fo hule-oꞌe, na, hei musi malolole esa no esa. Afiꞌ miminasa esa no esa. Afiꞌ mireresi. Mete ma botiꞌ lima mara fo hule-oꞌe, rala mara musi meumareꞌ.
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,
Inaꞌ ra o onaꞌ naa boe. Au nau ara tao ao nara randaa, ma pake bꞌualoꞌas nandaa boe. Afiꞌ koao fo tao atahori pupuik se, ma afiꞌ tao langga fulu nara mataꞌ-mataꞌ, do, pake bꞌualoꞌas mafelit nda nandaa hadat sa, doꞌ koao naꞌalelenaꞌ nendiꞌ, bua mbilas lilo fulaꞌ no mutiara ma permata. Te mana tao inaꞌ ra meulau, naeni rala meumare, ma tatao malole nara. Na ndaa no inaꞌ mana beꞌutee neu Lamatualain.
10 but in a manner proper for women who are professing piety by means of good works.
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.
Mete ma atahori saraniꞌ ra raꞌabꞌue rena nenoriꞌ, na, inaꞌ ra o tungga hohoro-lalaneꞌ ra fo pasa ndiki nara nenene malolole ma rena tetebꞌes nenoriꞌ naa. Afiꞌ utu-utu ma tao haras.
12 For I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to be in authority over a man, but to be in silence.
Tungga au, inaꞌ ra nda randaa rananaru soꞌu ao nara fo parenda touꞌ, ma ranori se sa. Malole lenaꞌ inaꞌ ra subꞌa-subꞌaꞌ a.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
Huu Lamatualain naꞌadꞌadꞌiꞌ Adam naꞌahuluꞌ dei de Hawa.
14 And Adam was not seduced, but the woman, having been seduced, was in transgression.
Boe ma Adam nda nenetipuꞌ naꞌahuluꞌ mia nitu ra malangga monaen sa, te inaꞌ. Eniꞌ a leleꞌ naa, atahori ralena-langga Lamatualain hohoro-lalanen.
15 Yet she will be saved by bearing children, if she has continued in faith and love, and in sanctification accompanied by self-restraint.
Te onaꞌ naa o, inaꞌ ra o bisa hambu masodꞌaꞌ, huu ara bꞌonggi. Sadꞌi ramehere tebꞌe neu Kristus, rasodꞌa esa sue esa, rasodꞌa no rala meumareꞌ, ma rasodꞌa randaa no hadꞌa-dꞌalaꞌ.
