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 to be made entreaties, prayers intercessions, [and] thanksgivings on behalf of 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 being, so that a tranquil and quiet life we may lead in all godliness and in [all] dignity.
3 Ũndũ ũcio nĩ mwega, na nĩũkenagia Ngai Mũhonokia witũ,
This (for *k*) [is] good and acceptable before the Savior of us God,
4 o we wendete andũ othe mahonokio na mamenye ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma.
who all men desires to be saved and to [the] knowledge of [the] truth to come.
5 Nĩgũkorwo kũrĩ Ngai o ũmwe, na mũiguithania o ũmwe wa kũiguithania Ngai na andũ, nake nĩwe mũndũ, o we Kristũ Jesũ,
One for God [there is], one then mediator 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.
the [One] having given Himself [as] a ransom for all, the testimony proper times in [their] own,
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.
in regard to which was appointed I myself a herald and an apostle — [the] truth I am speaking (in Christ *K*) not I do lie — a teacher of [the] 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 to pray the men in every place lifting up holy hands apart from anger and (dissension; *NK(O)*)
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,
likewise also (*k*) women in apparel respectable with modesty and self-control adorning themselves, not with braided hair (or with gold *N(k)O*) or with pearls or with clothing costly,
10 no makoragwo marĩ na ciĩko njega, iria ciagĩrĩire andũ-a-nja arĩa moimbũraga atĩ nĩ ahooi Ngai.
but with what is becoming to women professing [the] fear of God, through works good.
11 Mũndũ-wa-nja aagĩrĩirwo erutage maũndũ akindĩirie na enyiihĩtie biũ.
A woman in quietness should learn in all submissiveness;
12 Ndingĩĩtĩkĩria mũndũ-wa-nja arutanage kana aathage mũndũ mũrũme; no nĩaikarage akindĩirie.
To teach however a woman not I do permit nor to use authority over a man but to be in quietness.
13 Nĩgũkorwo Adamu nĩwe wombirwo mbere, Hawa agĩcookerera.
Adam for first was formed, then Eve.
14 Ningĩ Adamu tiwe waheenirio; nĩ mũndũ-wa-nja waheenirio agĩtuĩka mwĩhia.
And Adam not was deceived, but the woman (having been deceived *N(k)O*) into transgression has come;
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.
She will be saved however through childbearing if they shall abide in faith and in love and in holiness with self-restraint.
