1 Timothy 2
1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings, be made for all people:
Ko ia ʻoku ou enginaki, ke fuofua fai ʻae kole, mo e ngaahi lotu, mo e hūfekina maʻu, mo e fakafetaʻi, koeʻuhi ko e kakai kotoa pē;
2 for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
Koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tuʻi, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku pule: koeʻuhi ke tau moʻui ʻi he moʻui fiemālie mo e melino, ʻi he angafakaʻotua mo e anga totonu kotoa pē.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
He ko e meʻa lelei eni, pea ʻaonga ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ko hotau Fakamoʻui;
4 who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
ʻAia ʻoku finangalo ke fakamoʻui ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea ke lavaʻi ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻoe moʻoni.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and humanity, a human, Christ Jesus,
He ʻoku taha pe ʻae ʻOtua mo e fakalaloa pe taha ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ʻOtua mo e kakai, ko e tangata ko Kalaisi Sisu;
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;
ʻAia naʻa ne foaki ʻe ia ia ko e totongi huhuʻi mā ʻae kakai kotoa pē, [ʻaia ]ʻe fakamoʻoni ʻi hono kuonga totonu.
7 to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the non-Jews in faith and truth.
ʻAia kuo fakanofo au ki ai ko e malanga, mo e ʻaposetolo, (ʻoku ou leaʻaki ʻae moʻoni ʻia Kalaisi, ʻoku ʻikai teu loi; ) ko e akonaki ki he ngaahi Senitaile ʻi he tui mo e moʻoni.
8 I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.
Ko ia ko hoku loto ke lotu ʻae kakai ʻi he potu kotoa pē, ʻo mafao atu ʻae nima māʻoniʻoni, ʻo taʻeʻita mo taʻefakataʻetaʻetui.
9 In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing;
Pea ke pehē ʻae kau fefine foki, ke nau teuʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae kofu ʻoku ngali ke ʻai, mo e mata angavaivai mo e anga fakapotopoto; kae ʻikai ʻi he fafatu ʻoe louʻulu, pe ʻi he [ʻai ʻae ]koula, pe ko e mataʻitofe, pe ʻi he teungaʻaki ʻae koloa lahi;
10 but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
Ka ʻi he ngaahi ngaue lelei ʻaia ʻoku tau mo e kau fefine ʻoku nau fakahā ko e kau lotu ʻakinautolu ki he ʻOtua.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
Ke tali ʻe he kau fefine ʻae akonaki ʻi he fakalongo pē mo e angavaivai kotoa pē.
12 But I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
He ʻoku ʻikai te u tuku ʻae fefine ke akonaki, pe ke faʻao ʻae pule ʻae tangata, ka ke fakalongo pe.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
He naʻe fuofua ngaohi ʻa ʻAtama, kae ʻi mui ʻa ʻIvi.
14 Adam was not deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
Pea naʻe ʻikai kākāʻia ʻa ʻAtama, ka ko e fefine naʻe kākāʻia pea tō ia ki he talangataʻa.
15 but she will be delivered through the childbirth, if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
Ka neongo ia ʻe fakamoʻui ia ʻi he fānau, ʻo kapau ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻakinautolu ʻi he tui mo e ʻofa mo e māʻoniʻoni mo e anga fakapotopoto.
