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].
Насамперед закликаю [вас] звершувати молитви, благання, прохання, подяки за всіх людей,
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.
за царів і [за] всіх, хто при владі, щоб ми могли проживати життя в тиші та спокої, з усією набожністю та гідністю.
3 It is good [to pray like that, and] it pleases God, who saves us, when we pray like that.
Це добре та приємне Богові, нашому Спасителеві,
4 He desires to save everyone. He wants everyone to fully know [and accept] his true [message].
Який бажає, щоб усі люди були спасенними та прийшли до пізнання істини.
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!
Адже є один Бог та один Посередник між Богом та людьми – Людина Христос Ісус,
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]}.
Який віддав Самого Себе як викуп за всіх. Про це у свій час [склалося] свідчення,
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.
для якого я призначений проповідником та апостолом – правду кажу, не брешу – [та] вчителем язичників у вірі та правді.
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).
Тож я хочу, щоб чоловіки молилися в будь-якому місці, піднімаючи святі руки без гніву та суперечки.
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].
Так само й жінки нехай прикрашають себе пристойним одягом, скромністю та стриманістю, не заплітанням волосся й не золотом, перлинами чи дорогим одягом,
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.
а добрими справами, як і належить жінкам, котрі кажуть, що присвятили себе Богу.
11 Women must learn to [listen] quietly [during the worship services] and to fully subject themselves [to the leaders of the congregation].
Нехай жінка навчається мовчки, у повній покорі.
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].
Я не дозволяю жінці навчати чи панувати над чоловіком; їй слід мовчати.
13 Keep in mind that God made Adam first, and afterwards he made Eve,
Адже спочатку був створений Адам, а потім Єва.
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.
І не Адам був обманутий, а жінка була обманута і впала в непокору.
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.
Але вона буде врятована через народження дітей, якщо вони залишаться у вірі, любові та святості зі стриманістю.
