1 Timothy 2
1 I exhort, therefore, first of all, that there be made—supplications, prayers, intercessions, thankgivings, in behalf of all men,
Mʼafotu ne sɛ, nea edi kan no mehyɛ mo sɛ monsrɛ, mommɔ mpae, mummisa na monna Onyankopɔn ase mma nnipa nyinaa;
2 In behalf of kings, and all them who are, in eminent station; in order that, an undisturbed, and quiet life, we may lead, in all godliness and gravity:
monyɛ saa ara mma ahemfo ne wɔn a tumi hyɛ wɔn nsa nyinaa na yɛatumi atena ase asomdwoe mu wɔ onyamesom ne suban pa mu.
3 This, is comely and acceptable before our Saviour God,
Eyi ye, na ɛsɔ Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ Agyenkwa a
4 Who willeth, all men, to be saved, and, unto a personal knowledge of truth, to come;
ɔpɛ sɛ wogye nnipa nyinaa nkwa na wohu nokware no ani.
5 For there is, one, God, one, mediator also, between God and men, —a man—Christ Jesus:
Onyankopɔn baako ne ntamgyinafo baako a ɔka Onyankopɔn ne nnipa bɔ mu no, ɔno ne Kristo Yesu no.
6 Who gave himself a ransom in behalf of all, —the testimony, in its own fit times:
Ɔno na ɔde ne ho bɔɔ afɔre gyee nnipa nyinaa nkwa no. Eyi yɛ adansedi a ɛbaa bere a ɛsɛ mu sɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ wogye nnipa nyinaa nkwa.
7 Unto which, I, have been appointed proclaimer and apostle—Truth I speak, I utter no falsehood—a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.
Ɛno nti na wɔsomaa me sɛ ɔsomafo ne amanamanmufo kyerɛkyerɛfo sɛ minni gyidi ne nokware no ho adanse. Merenni atoro, mereka nokware!
8 I am minded, therefore, that—the men in every place be offering prayer, uplifting hands of lovingkindness, apart from anger and disputings;
Mehwehwɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ mmaa nyinaa ma wɔn nsa a ɛho tew so, nea abufuw ne akyinnye nni mu, na wɔbɔ mpae.
9 In the same way, that, the women, in seemly attire, with modesty and sober-mindedness, be adorning themselves, —not with plaitings and ornamentation of gold, or with pearls, or with costly apparel, —
Afei mehwehwɛ sɛ mmea brɛ wɔn ho ase na wɔfa ɔkwan a ɛfata so siesie wɔn ho. Wɔnyɛ wɔn ti sɛ mmea ahobrɛasefo; wɔmmfa sika anaa nwinne anaa ntade a ne bo yɛ den nsiesie wɔn ho.
10 But, which becometh women promising godliness, through means of good works.
Na mmom ɛsɛ sɛ wɔda adwuma pa a ɛfata mmea sɛ mmea a wɔyɛ nyamesomfo no adi.
11 Let, a woman, in quietness, be learning in all submission;
Ɛsɛ sɛ mmea de kommyɛ ne ahobrɛase sua ade.
12 But, teaching—unto a woman, I do not permit, nor yet to have authority over a man, —but to be in quietness;
Memma mmea ho kwan sɛ wɔnkyerɛkyerɛ anaasɛ wonnya mmarima so tumi. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ komm.
13 For, Adam, first was formed, then Eve,
Efisɛ wɔbɔɔ Adam ansa na wɔrebɔ Hawa.
14 And, Adam, was not deceived, whereas, the woman, having been wholly deceived, hath come to be, in transgression;
Na ɛnyɛ Adam na wɔdaadaa no. Ɔbea no na wɔdaadaa no ma ɛnam so ma obuu Onyankopɔn mmara so.
15 She shall be saved, however, through means of the child-bearing, —if they abide in faith, and love, and holiness, with sobermindedness. Faithful, the saying.
Na sɛ ɔbea tena ase gyidi, ɔdɔ, kronkronyɛ ne ahobrɛase mu a ɔbɛwo asomdwoe mu.
