Timoteo 1 2
1 Eya ta mele nu xlɔ̃m amewo be do ŋgɔ na nu sia nu la, woawɔ kukuɖeɖewo, gbedodoɖawo, nyaxɔɖeakɔwo kple akpedada ɖe amewo katã ta,
Therefore first of all, I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,
2 ɖe fiawo kple dziɖulawo katã ta be míanɔ anyi le ŋutifafa kple agbe ƒe dziɖeɖi me le mawuvɔvɔ̃ kple kɔkɔenyenye siaa me.
for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
3 Esia nyo, eye wòdze Mawu mía Ɖela la ŋu.
This is good and acceptable before God our savior.
4 Edi vevie be ame sia ame nakpɔ ɖeɖe, eye wòase nyateƒe sia gɔme be:
He desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 Yesu Kristo, ame si va xexea me abe amegbetɔ ene la koe va dzra Mawu kple amegbetɔwo dome ɖo.
For there is one God, and there is one mediator for God and man, the man Christ Jesus.
6 Ewɔ esia esi wòtsɔ eƒe agbe na ɖe amewo katã ta. Esia nye ɖaseɖiɖi si Mawu tsɔ na xexea me le ɣeyiɣi nyuitɔ dzi.
He gave himself as a ransom for all, as the testimony at the right time.
7 Enye nyateƒe matrɔmatrɔ be wotiam be manye Mawu ƒe apostolo kple nyanyuidɔgbedela si agblɔ nyateƒe sia na ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o; afia Mawu ƒe ɖoɖo amewo be woakpɔ ɖeɖe to xɔse me.
For this purpose, I myself, was made a herald and an apostle. I am telling the truth. I am not lying. I am a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 Eya ta medi be le afi sia afi la, ŋutsuwo nado woƒe asi kɔkɔewo ɖe dzi na Mawu, ado gbe ɖa, elabena wovo tso nu vɔ̃, dziku kple fuléle si me.
Therefore, I want men in every place to pray and to lift up holy hands without anger or arguing.
9 Nenema ke medi be nyɔnuwo nado awu ɖe nɔnɔme nyui me, le dzadzɛnyenye kple nu dzeame wɔwɔ me, menye le atsyɔ̃ɖoɖo vivivo kple ɖa ŋɔŋɔe ƒoƒo, sikanuwo kple dzonu xɔasiwo dede kple avɔ xɔasiwo tata me o,
Likewise, I want the women to dress themselves in proper clothing, with modesty and self-control. They should not have braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or expensive clothing.
10 ke boŋ kple nu nyui wɔwɔ si dze nyɔnu siwo ʋua eme be yewonye mawusubɔlawo.
I want them to dress with what is appropriate for women who profess godliness through good works.
11 Ele na nyɔnu be wòasrɔ̃ toɖoɖo le ɖoɖoezizi kple ɖokuibɔbɔ siaa me.
A woman should learn in silence and with all submission.
12 Nyemeɖe mɔ na nyɔnu be wòafia nu alo aɖu amegã ɖe ŋutsu dzi o, ke boŋ nezi ɖoɖoe.
I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to live in quietness.
13 Nu ka ta? Elabena Mawu wɔ Adam gbã hafi va wɔ Eva.
For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 Eye menye Adam Satana ble o, ke boŋ Evae, eye to esia me, nu vɔ̃ va.
Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
15 Eya ta Mawu na be nyɔnuwo nakpe fu ase veve le woƒe vidzidzi me, ke aɖe woƒe luʋɔwo ne woxɔ edzi se, eye wonɔ agbe nyui le lɔlɔ̃ vavã me.
However, she will be saved through bearing children, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with soundness of mind.
