1 Timotheo 2
1 Ningĩ, nĩngũkũringĩrĩria atĩ mbere ya maũndũ mothe kũhooyagwo mahooya ma kũhoera mabata ma andũ na makũhooyanĩra, na ma gũthaithanĩrĩra, na ma gũcookia ngaatho, nĩ ũndũ wa andũ othe:
I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men,
2 Ningĩ mũhooyagĩre athamaki na arĩa othe mathanaga. Hooyagai nĩgeetha tũtũũrage na mũtũũrĩre wa thayũ na tũhooreire tũgĩtĩĩaga Ngai maũndũ-inĩ mothe na tũrĩ na ũtheru.
for kings and all those who are in prominence, so that we may live a quiet and peaceful life in all piety and propriety.
3 Ũndũ ũcio nĩ mwega, na nĩũkenagia Ngai Mũhonokia witũ,
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
4 o we wendete andũ othe mahonokio na mamenye ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma.
who wants all men to be saved and to come to knowledge of truth.
5 Nĩgũkorwo kũrĩ Ngai o ũmwe, na mũiguithania o ũmwe wa kũiguithania Ngai na andũ, nake nĩwe mũndũ, o we Kristũ Jesũ,
For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Jesus Christ,
6 ũrĩa werutire atuĩke wa gũkũũra andũ othe. Naguo ũira wa ũhoro ũcio nĩwaheanirwo ihinda rĩaguo rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire rĩakinya.
who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony for their own times.
7 Na ũhoro ũcio nĩguo watũmire nduĩke mũhunjia o na mũtũmwo waguo na niĩ ndĩraaria ũhoro wa ma, ndiraheenania. Ndatuĩkire mũrutani wakũrutaga andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ ũhoro wa gwĩtĩkia o na ũhoro wa ma.
For which I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie), a teacher of Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 Ngwenda atĩ arũme mahoithagie kũndũ guothe moete moko matheru na igũrũ, matarĩ na marakara kana ngarari.
I desire therefore the men to pray in every place, lifting up devout hands, apart from anger and argument.
9 O na ningĩ ngwenda atĩ andũ-a-nja mehumbage wega na nguo itarĩ cia kwĩonania marĩ na mĩthiĩre yagĩrĩire, na marĩ na ũũgĩ wa ngoro, na matikegemagie na kũrama njuĩrĩ, kana na thahabu, kana ruru, o na kana nguo iria cia goro mũno,
And similarly, the women to adorn themselves in disciplined decorum, with reverence and sobriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive apparel,
10 no makoragwo marĩ na ciĩko njega, iria ciagĩrĩire andũ-a-nja arĩa moimbũraga atĩ nĩ ahooi Ngai.
but (which is fitting for women professing godliness) through good works.
11 Mũndũ-wa-nja aagĩrĩirwo erutage maũndũ akindĩirie na enyiihĩtie biũ.
Let a woman learn in silence in all subjection.
12 Ndingĩĩtĩkĩria mũndũ-wa-nja arutanage kana aathage mũndũ mũrũme; no nĩaikarage akindĩirie.
But I do not allow a woman to teach, nor to have authority of a man, but to be in quietness.
13 Nĩgũkorwo Adamu nĩwe wombirwo mbere, Hawa agĩcookerera.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 Ningĩ Adamu tiwe waheenirio; nĩ mũndũ-wa-nja waheenirio agĩtuĩka mwĩhia.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, became in transgression.
15 No rĩrĩ, andũ-a-nja nĩ makaahonoka nĩ ũndũ wa gũciara ciana, mangĩtũũra metĩkĩtie marĩ na wendani na andũ atheru, o na marĩ na ũũgĩ wa ngoro.
But she will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
