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].
Pertama-tama, saya ingin mendorongmu untuk berdoa bagi setiap orang: memohon kepada Allah, mewakili mereka dan mengucap syukur.
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.
Berdoalah untuk raja-raja dan semua pejabat dan petinggi pemerintah. Berdoalah kepada Allah supaya kita bisa hidup dengan aman dan tentram, selalu memikirkan Allah dan menjalani hidup dengan serius.
3 It is good [to pray like that, and] it pleases God, who saves us, when we pray like that.
Inilah yang baik, dan menyenangkan hati Allah, yang adalah Juruselamat kita.
4 He desires to save everyone. He wants everyone to fully know [and accept] his true [message].
Allah ingin setiap orang diselamatkan dan memahami apa sebenarnya kebenaran itu.
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!
Karena hanya ada satu Allah, dan satu perantara Allah dan umat manusia — manusia Kristus Yesus.
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]}.
Dia memberikan dirinya sendiri sehingga kita semua bisa dimenangkan kembali, menunjukkan bukti pada waktu yang tepat.
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.
Saya ditunjuk untuk membagikan pesan ini dan menjadi utusannya, seorang guru bagi orang asing tentang mempercayai Allah dan kebenaran (saya tidak berbohong, saya mengatakan yang sebenarnya!)
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).
Yang benar-benar saya inginkan adalah agar pria di mana pun berdoa dengan tulus kepada Allah. Tidak ada kemarahan atau argumen!
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].
Demikian pula perempuan harus berpakaian sopan, sopan, dan pantas. Mereka harus menarik bukan dengan gaya rambut mereka atau dengan mengenakan emas atau mutiara atau pakaian mahal,
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.
tetapi dengan hal-hal baik yang mereka lakukan — seperti yang pantas bagi wanita yang mengaku mengikuti Allah.
11 Women must learn to [listen] quietly [during the worship services] and to fully subject themselves [to the leaders of the congregation].
Wanita harus belajar dengan tenang, menghargai tempat mereka.
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].
Saya tidak mengizinkan wanita menjadi instruktur, atau mendominasi pria; biarkan mereka diam.
13 Keep in mind that God made Adam first, and afterwards he made Eve,
Karena Adam diciptakan lebih dulu, baru kemudian Hawa.
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.
Adam tidak tertipu, tetapi Hawa benar-benar tertipu, dan dia jatuh ke dalam dosa.
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.
Namun, wanita akan diselamatkan dengan menjadi ibu, selama mereka terus percaya dan mencintai, dan menjalani kehidupan yang suci dan masuk akal.
