1 Timoti 2
1 Na mbụ, ana m arịọ ka e kpee ekpere, kwuchite ọnụ ndị ọzọ nʼekpere, ma nye ekele nʼisi mmadụ niile,
I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,
2 kpee ekpere maka ndị eze niile, na ndị niile nọ nʼọnọdụ ọchịchị, ka anyị nwee ike bie ndụ udo na nke nsogbu na-adịghị, nʼime ịsọpụrụ Chineke dị ka ọ chọrọ.
for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
3 Nke a bụkwa ihe dị mma na ihe na-atọ Chineke Onye nzọpụta anyị ezi ụtọ.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
4 Onye chọrọ ka a zọpụta mmadụ niile, ka ha niile bịaruo na mmazu nke eziokwu.
who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
5 Nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị otu Chineke dị. Ọ bụkwa naanị otu onye ogbugbo dị nʼetiti Chineke na mmadụ. Kraịst Jisọs, onye ya onwe ya bụ mmadụ.
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 Onye weere onwe ya ka ọ bụrụ ihe mgbapụta nʼihi mmadụ niile, nke bụ ịgba ama a na-enye nʼoge ya.
who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,
7 Nʼihi nke a, a họpụtara m ka m bụrụ ọnụ na-ekwuru ọha nakwa onyeozi, na onye nkuzi nye ndị mba ọzọ banyere ezi okwukwe ahụ. Eziokwu ka m na-ekwu, anaghị m agha ụgha.
to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 Nʼihi nke a, achọrọ m ka ndị ikom, nʼebe niile na-achili aka dị nsọ elu nʼekpere, na-ebughị iwe nʼobi, na-arụkwaghị ụka.
I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.
9 Achọkwara m ka ndị inyom kwadoo onwe ha nʼụzọ kwesiri ekwesi, ka ha jiri nsọpụrụ na uche zuruoke chọọ onwe ha mma. Ọ bụghị isi a kpara akpa, ma ọ bụkwanụ ngwa mma nke ọlaedo maọbụ pieal, maọbụ uwe dị oke ọnụahịa ha na-eyi.
In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,
10 Kama site nʼezi ọrụ ọma ha nke kwesiri ndị inyom na-ekwupụta na ha na-ekpere Chineke.
but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.
11 Nwanyị kwesikwara iji obi dị umeala na obi dị nwayọọ gee ntị mụtakwa ihe mgbe a na-ezi ihe.
Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.
12 Ekwenyeghị m ka nwanyị zie ihe, maọbụ ka ọ bụrụ onyeisi nʼebe ndị nwoke nọ. Ha kwesiri ịnọ nwayọọ mgbe ọbụla unu zukọrọ.
But I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
13 Ọ bụ nʼihi na e buru ụzọ kee Adam tupu e kee Iiv.
For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 Ọ bụkwaghị Adam ka a ghọgburu, kama ọ bụ nwanyị ka a ghọgburu mee ka ọ bụrụ onye mmebi iwu.
Adam was not deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
15 Ma a ga-azọpụta ha site nʼọmụmụ nwa ma ọ bụrụ na ha anọgide na-ebi ndụ okwukwe na ịhụnanya, na ịdị nsọ, na nke uche zuruoke.
but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.
