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, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks 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 [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
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 will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the 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 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 a ransom for all, to be testified in due 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.
For which I am ordained a preacher and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, [and] lie not) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
8 Ngwenda atĩ arũme mahoithagie kũndũ guothe moete moko matheru na igũrũ, matarĩ na marakara kana ngarari.
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
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,
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in decent apparel, with modesty and sobriety; not with broidered hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array,
10 no makoragwo marĩ na ciĩko njega, iria ciagĩrĩire andũ-a-nja arĩa moimbũraga atĩ nĩ ahooi Ngai.
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
11 Mũndũ-wa-nja aagĩrĩirwo erutage maũndũ akindĩirie na enyiihĩtie biũ.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 Ndingĩĩtĩkĩria mũndũ-wa-nja arutanage kana aathage mũndũ mũrũme; no nĩaikarage akindĩirie.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
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 being deceived was in the 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.
Notwithstanding, she will be saved in child-bearing, if they continue in faith, and charity, and holiness, with sobriety.
