1 Timoti 2
1 Na mbụ, ana m arịọ ka e kpee ekpere, kwuchite ọnụ ndị ọzọ nʼekpere, ma nye ekele nʼisi mmadụ niile,
Moreover, first of all things, I exhort you, that prayers, supplications, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made in behalf of 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 authority; in order that we may lead a peaceable and quiet life in all godliness and honesty.
3 Nke a bụkwa ihe dị mma na ihe na-atọ Chineke Onye nzọpụta anyị ezi ụtọ.
This is beautiful and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Onye chọrọ ka a zọpụta mmadụ niile, ka ha niile bịaruo na mmazu nke eziokwu.
who wishes all men to be saved, and to come to the perfect 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 there is also one mediator of 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.
the one having given himself a ransom for all, a testimony in due 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.
in which I have been placed a herald and an apostle I speak the truth, I lie not, a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and in 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.
Therefore I wish that men in every place would all pray, holding up holy hands, without wrath 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.
likewise that the women adorn themselves in comely apparel, with modesty and prudence; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly garments;
10 Kama site nʼezi ọrụ ọma ha nke kwesiri ndị inyom na-ekwupụta na ha na-ekpere Chineke.
but whatsoever becomes women professing godliness, through good works.
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 silence in all 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 dictate or usurp authority over her husband, but to be in silence.
13 Ọ bụ nʼihi na e buru ụzọ kee Adam tupu e kee Iiv.
For Adam was first created, then Eve.
14 Ọ bụkwaghị Adam ka a ghọgburu, kama ọ bụ nwanyị ka a ghọgburu mee ka ọ bụrụ onye mmebi iwu.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression;
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 shall be saved through child-bearing, if they may abide in faith and in divine love and in sanctification with prudence.
