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:
My desire is, first of all, that you will make requests and prayers and give praise 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 in authority; so that we may have a calm and quiet life in all fear of God and serious behaviour.
3 Ũndũ ũcio nĩ mwega, na nĩũkenagia Ngai Mũhonokia witũ,
This is good and pleasing in the eyes of God our Saviour;
4 o we wendete andũ othe mahonokio na mamenye ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma.
Whose desire is that all men may have salvation and come to the knowledge of what is true.
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 peacemaker between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 ũrĩa werutire atuĩke wa gũkũũra andũ othe. Naguo ũira wa ũhoro ũcio nĩwaheanirwo ihinda rĩaguo rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire rĩakinya.
Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time;
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.
And of this I became a preacher and an Apostle (what I say is true, not false, ) and a teacher of the Gentiles in the true faith.
8 Ngwenda atĩ arũme mahoithagie kũndũ guothe moete moko matheru na igũrũ, matarĩ na marakara kana ngarari.
It is my desire, then, that in every place men may give themselves to prayer, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or 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 that women may be dressed in simple clothing, with a quiet and serious air; not with twisted hair and gold or jewels or robes of great price;
10 no makoragwo marĩ na ciĩko njega, iria ciagĩrĩire andũ-a-nja arĩa moimbũraga atĩ nĩ ahooi Ngai.
But clothed with good works, as is right for women who are living in the fear of God.
11 Mũndũ-wa-nja aagĩrĩirwo erutage maũndũ akindĩirie na enyiihĩtie biũ.
Let a woman quietly take the place of a learner and be under authority.
12 Ndingĩĩtĩkĩria mũndũ-wa-nja arutanage kana aathage mũndũ mũrũme; no nĩaikarage akindĩirie.
In my opinion it is right for a woman not to be a teacher, or to have rule over a man, but to be quiet.
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 taken by deceit, but the woman, being tricked, became a wrongdoer.
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 if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth.
