1 Timothy 2
1 I EXHORT therefore, first of all, that there be offered supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings for the whole race of mankind:
Mʼafotuo ne sɛ, deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, mehyɛ mo sɛ monsrɛ, mommɔ mpaeɛ, mommisa na monna Onyankopɔn ase mma nnipa nyinaa;
2 for kings, and all that are in a state of eminence, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and seriousness.
monyɛ saa ara mma ahemfo ne wɔn a tumi hyɛ wɔn nsa nyinaa na yɛatumi atena ase asomdwoeɛ mu wɔ onyamesom ne suban pa mu.
3 For this is becoming, and acceptable before God our Saviour;
Yei yɛ, na ɛsɔ Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ Agyenkwa a
4 who wills all men to be saved, and come to the acknowledgment of truth.
ɔpɛ sɛ wɔgye nnipa nyinaa nkwa na wɔhunu nokorɛ no ani.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Onyankopɔn baako ne ntamgyinafoɔ baako a ɔka Onyankopɔn ne nnipa bom no, ɔno ne Kristo Yesu no.
6 who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony to be born in his appointed times;
Ɔno na ɔde ne ho bɔɔ afɔdeɛ de gyee nnipa nyinaa nkwa no. Yei yɛ adansedie a ɛbaa ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu sɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ wɔgye nnipa nyinaa nkwa.
7 of which I am ordained a preacher and apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, ) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
Ɛno enti na wɔsomaa me sɛ ɔsomafoɔ ne amanamanmufoɔ ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ sɛ menni gyidie ne nokorɛ no ho adanseɛ. Merenni atorɔ, mereka nokorɛ!
8 I will then that men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands without wrath or doubting:
Mehwehwɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ ewiase afanan nyinaa de akoma a emu teɛ bɛma wɔn nsa so, na wɔabɔ mpaeɛ.
9 in like manner also that the women dress themselves in decent apparel, with modesty and sobriety; not with plaited tresses, or gold, or pearls, or very costly clothing,
Afei, mehwehwɛ sɛ mmaa bɛbrɛ wɔn ho ase na wɔafa ɛkwan a ɛfata so asiesie wɔn ho. Ma wɔmmɔ wɔn ti sɛ mmaa ahobrɛasefoɔ; mma wɔmmfa sika anaa adwinneɛ anaa ntadeɛ a ne boɔ yɛ den nsiesie wɔn ho.
10 but as becometh women professing godliness, with good works.
Na mmom, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔda adwuma pa a ɛfata mmaa adi sɛ mmaa a wɔyɛ nyamesomfoɔ.
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection:
Ɛsɛ sɛ mmaa de kommyɛ ne ahobrɛaseɛ sua adeɛ.
12 for I permit not a woman to teach in public, or to assume authority over the man, but to abide in silence.
Memma mmaa ho ɛkwan sɛ wɔnkyerɛkyerɛ anaasɛ wɔnnya mmarima so tumi. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ komm.
13 For Adam was first formed, Eve afterwards.
Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔbɔɔ Adam ansa na wɔrebɔ Hawa.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, by transgression fell.
Na ɛnyɛ Adam na wɔdaadaa no. Ɔbaa no na wɔdaadaa no ma ɛnam so maa ɔbuu Onyankopɔn mmara so.
15 But she shall be saved through childbearing, if they abide in faith, and love, and holiness with sobriety.
Na sɛ ɔbaa tena ase gyidie, ɔdɔ, kronnyɛ ne ahobrɛaseɛ mu a ɔbɛwo asomdwoeɛ mu.
