1 Timothy 2
1 The first (OR, most important) thing that I urge [you to tell your congregation] is that [Christians] should continually ask [God] for [what they need]. They should also pray to God [for all other people], and they should be thanking [God].
Je demande donc instamment avant tout, qu’on fasse des supplications, des prières, des demandes, des actions de grâces pour tous les hommes,
2 Specifically, they should pray for rulers and for all [other people] who (are in important government positions/have authority), in order that [God will help them to rule]. [As God enables the rulers to rule well], we can live very peaceably as we conduct ours lives doing all that God and others consider to be right and proper.
Pour les rois et tous ceux qui sont en dignité, afin que nous menions une vie paisible et tranquille, en toute piété et chasteté.
3 It is good [to pray like that, and] it pleases God, who saves us, when we pray like that.
Car cela est bon et agréable à notre Sauveur Dieu,
4 He desires to save everyone. He wants everyone to fully know [and accept] his true [message].
Qui veut que tous les hommes soient sauvés, et viennent à la connaissance de la vérité,
5 He is the [only] one [true] God! And there is [only] one person who talks to God on behalf of people. That person is Christ Jesus, who [himself] is a man!
Car il n’y a qu’un Dieu et qu’un médiateur entre Dieu et les hommes, le Christ Jésus homme,
6 He gave (his [life/himself]) [as a sacrifice] in order to ransom/redeem all [people], which showed at the proper time [that God desires that all people be saved] {[to save all people]}.
Qui s’est livré lui-même, pour la rédemption de tous, comme un témoignage temps.
7 As for me, he appointed me to declare [this message] and to be an apostle. I am telling the truth [about God appointing me]. I am not lying! He appointed me to teach the non-Jews that they should believe God’s true message.
C’est pourquoi j’ai été établi moi-même prédicateur et apôtre (je dis la vérité, je ne mens point), docteur des nations dans la foi et la vérité.
8 I desire that in every place [where believers worship], the men who pray publicly [MTY] should be men who are not practicing sin. When they pray, they should not be angry [with anyone] and they should not doubt [that God will answer] their prayers (OR, should not quarrel with anyone).
Je veux donc que les hommes prient en tout lieu, élevant des mains pures, sans colère et sans contention.
9 [I would like that] the clothing that women wear be (modest and sensible/proper and appropriate) [DOU]. I want them to not fix their hair in fancy/elaborate ways, nor wear gold [jewelry], nor pearls, nor expensive clothing [in order that they may make themselves attractive].
Pareillement, que les femmes, en vêtements décents, se parent avec pudeur et modestie, et non avec des cheveux frisés, ou de l’or, ou des habits somptueux;
10 Instead, they should be doing things that women who (claim to/say that they) worship God should do; that is, they should be doing good deeds.
Mais comme il convient à des femmes qui font profession de piété par de bonnes œuvres.
11 Women must learn to [listen] quietly [during the worship services] and to fully subject themselves [to the leaders of the congregation].
Que la femme écoute en silence et dans une entière soumission.
12 I do not permit women to teach [men spiritual truth publicly], and I do not permit them to have authority over men. Instead, [I desire] that women [listen] quietly [during the worship services].
Je ne permets point à la femme d’enseigner ni de dominer sur l’homme; mais qu’elle garde le silence.
13 Keep in mind that God made Adam first, and afterwards he made Eve,
Car Adam fut formé le premier, ensuite Eve,
14 and that it was not Adam whom [Satan] deceived. As a result of the woman being deceived, she sinned. She did what God had told her not to do.
Et Adam ne fut point séduit, mais la femme séduite tomba dans la prévarication.
15 But even though she did that, now women will be saved {God will accept women} as they bear children if they continue to trust [God] and if they continue to love others, and if they continue to live in a way that is [more and more] (acceptable to God/like God wants them to), and if they continue to be modest.
Toutefois elle sera sauvée par la génération des enfants, si elle demeure dans la foi, la charité et la sainteté jointe à la tempérance.
