Timotheum I 2
1 Obsecro igitur primum omnium fieri obsecrationes, orationes, postulationes, gratiarum actiones pro omnibus hominibus:
The first (OR, most important) thing that I urge [you to tell your congregation] is that [Christians] should continually ask [God] for [what they need]. They should also pray to God [for all other people], and they should be thanking [God].
2 pro regibus, et omnibus, qui in sublimitate constituti sunt, ut quietam et tranquillam vitam agamus in omni pietate, et castitate.
Specifically, they should pray for rulers and for all [other people] who (are in important government positions/have authority), in order that [God will help them to rule]. [As God enables the rulers to rule well], we can live very peaceably as we conduct ours lives doing all that God and others consider to be right and proper.
3 hoc enim bonum est, et acceptum coram Salvatore nostro Deo,
It is good [to pray like that, and] it pleases God, who saves us, when we pray like that.
4 qui omnes homines vult salvos fieri, et ad agnitionem veritatis venire.
He desires to save everyone. He wants everyone to fully know [and accept] his true [message].
5 Unus enim Deus, unus et mediator Dei et hominum homo Christus Iesus:
He is the [only] one [true] God! And there is [only] one person who talks to God on behalf of people. That person is Christ Jesus, who [himself] is a man!
6 qui dedit redemptionem semetipsum pro omnibus, cuius testimonium temporibus suis confirmatum est:
He gave (his [life/himself]) [as a sacrifice] in order to ransom/redeem all [people], which showed at the proper time [that God desires that all people be saved] {[to save all people]}.
7 in quo positus sum ego praedicator, et Apostolus (veritatem dico, non mentior) doctor Gentium in fide, et veritate.
As for me, he appointed me to declare [this message] and to be an apostle. I am telling the truth [about God appointing me]. I am not lying! He appointed me to teach the non-Jews that they should believe God’s true message.
8 Volo ergo viros orare in omni loco, levantes puras manus sine ira, et disceptatione.
I desire that in every place [where believers worship], the men who pray publicly [MTY] should be men who are not practicing sin. When they pray, they should not be angry [with anyone] and they should not doubt [that God will answer] their prayers (OR, should not quarrel with anyone).
9 Similiter et mulieres in habitu ornato, cum verecundia, et sobrietate ornantes se, et non in tortis crinibus, aut auro, aut margaritas, vel veste pretiosa:
[I would like that] the clothing that women wear be (modest and sensible/proper and appropriate) [DOU]. I want them to not fix their hair in fancy/elaborate ways, nor wear gold [jewelry], nor pearls, nor expensive clothing [in order that they may make themselves attractive].
10 sed quod decet mulieres, promittentes pietatem per opera bona.
Instead, they should be doing things that women who (claim to/say that they) worship God should do; that is, they should be doing good deeds.
11 Mulier in silentio discat cum omni subiectione.
Women must learn to [listen] quietly [during the worship services] and to fully subject themselves [to the leaders of the congregation].
12 Docere autem mulieri non permitto, neque dominari in virum: sed esse in silentio.
I do not permit women to teach [men spiritual truth publicly], and I do not permit them to have authority over men. Instead, [I desire] that women [listen] quietly [during the worship services].
13 Adam enim primus formatus est: deinde Heva.
Keep in mind that God made Adam first, and afterwards he made Eve,
14 et Adam non est seductus: mulier autem seducta in praevaricatione fuit.
and that it was not Adam whom [Satan] deceived. As a result of the woman being deceived, she sinned. She did what God had told her not to do.
15 Salvabitur autem per filiorum generationem, si permanserit in fide, et dilectione, et sanctificatione cum sobrietate.
But even though she did that, now women will be saved {God will accept women} as they bear children if they continue to trust [God] and if they continue to love others, and if they continue to live in a way that is [more and more] (acceptable to God/like God wants them to), and if they continue to be modest.
