< 1 Timothy 2 >

1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,
Maꞌahulun, au oꞌe nggi hule-oꞌe fe basa atahori ra. Mete ma hei hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain, moꞌe fo Ana tulu-fali basa atahori mana hambu sususaꞌ ra. Ma moꞌe makasi, huu Ana tao maloleꞌ neu basa se ena.
2 for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
Hule-oꞌe taꞌo naa fee mane-maneꞌ ra ro basa malangga ra. No taꞌo naa, basa hita tasodꞌa no mole-dꞌame, tungga Lamatualain hihiin. Masodꞌaꞌ naa nandaa soaꞌ neu atahori mana beꞌutee neu Lamatualain.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,
Hule-oꞌe mataꞌ naa, maloleꞌ. Naa tao nemehoꞌo Lamatualain, mana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu hita.
4 who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
Ana nau basa atahori hambu masodꞌaꞌ, ma rahine saa fo ndoo-tetuꞌ. Naeni:
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
Lamatualain naa, esaꞌ a. Ma lelete o esaꞌ a boe. Leleta naa, naeni Yesus kristus mana nadameꞌ Lamatualain no hita atahori. Ma Yesus naa, memaꞌ atahoriꞌ tebꞌe-tebꞌe.
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,
Ana fee aon fo soitefa basa hita mia sala tara. Ndaa no fain, Lamatualain soi relo-relo Dudꞌui Malolen fo nafadꞌe neu basa atahori.
7 to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
Huu naa, Lamatualain pili nala au dadꞌi dedꞌenun ena, fo uu ufadꞌe atahori nda Yahudi ra sa sia bee-bꞌee, ma unori se fo ara ramahere Lamatuaꞌ Yesus no rasodꞌa tungga dala ndo tetuꞌ a. Saa fo au ufadꞌeꞌ ia, tebꞌe taꞌo naa. Au nda lelekoꞌ sa.
8 I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.
Au hihii ngga taꞌo ia: sia bee-bꞌee, mete ma hei miꞌibꞌue fo hule-oꞌe, na, hei musi malolole esa no esa. Afiꞌ miminasa esa no esa. Afiꞌ mireresi. Mete ma botiꞌ lima mara fo hule-oꞌe, rala mara musi meumareꞌ.
9 In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,
Inaꞌ ra o onaꞌ naa boe. Au nau ara tao ao nara randaa, ma pake bꞌualoꞌas nandaa boe. Afiꞌ koao fo tao atahori pupuik se, ma afiꞌ tao langga fulu nara mataꞌ-mataꞌ, do, pake bꞌualoꞌas mafelit nda nandaa hadat sa, doꞌ koao naꞌalelenaꞌ nendiꞌ, bua mbilas lilo fulaꞌ no mutiara ma permata. Te mana tao inaꞌ ra meulau, naeni rala meumare, ma tatao malole nara. Na ndaa no inaꞌ mana beꞌutee neu Lamatualain.
10 but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.
Mete ma atahori saraniꞌ ra raꞌabꞌue rena nenoriꞌ, na, inaꞌ ra o tungga hohoro-lalaneꞌ ra fo pasa ndiki nara nenene malolole ma rena tetebꞌes nenoriꞌ naa. Afiꞌ utu-utu ma tao haras.
12 But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
Tungga au, inaꞌ ra nda randaa rananaru soꞌu ao nara fo parenda touꞌ, ma ranori se sa. Malole lenaꞌ inaꞌ ra subꞌa-subꞌaꞌ a.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
Huu Lamatualain naꞌadꞌadꞌiꞌ Adam naꞌahuluꞌ dei de Hawa.
14 Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
Boe ma Adam nda nenetipuꞌ naꞌahuluꞌ mia nitu ra malangga monaen sa, te inaꞌ. Eniꞌ a leleꞌ naa, atahori ralena-langga Lamatualain hohoro-lalanen.
15 but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.
Te onaꞌ naa o, inaꞌ ra o bisa hambu masodꞌaꞌ, huu ara bꞌonggi. Sadꞌi ramehere tebꞌe neu Kristus, rasodꞌa esa sue esa, rasodꞌa no rala meumareꞌ, ma rasodꞌa randaa no hadꞌa-dꞌalaꞌ.
