1 Timoty 2
1 Koa mananatra voalohany indrindra aho mba hatao izay fangatahana, fivavahana, fifonana, fisaorana, ho an’ ny olona rehetra,
I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,
2 ho an’ ny mpanjaka mbamin’ izay rehetra manana fahefana, mba hiainantsika miadana sy mandry fahizay amin’ ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra sy ny fahamaotinana rehetra.
for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
3 Izany no tsara ka ankasitrahana eo imason’ Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy antsika,
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,
4 Izay tia ny olona rehetra hovonjena ka ho tonga amin’ ny fahalalana ny marina.
who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
5 Fa iray no Andriamanitra, ary iray no Mpanalalana amin’ Andriamanitra sy ny olona, dia Kristy Jesosy, Izay olona,
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Messiah Yeshua,
6 sady nanolotra ny tenany ho avotra hisolo ny olona rehetra, dia zavatra ho fitory amin’ izao androny izao.
who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,
7 Mba hanao izany no nanendrena ahy ho mpitory sy Apostoly (milaza ny marina aho, fa tsy mandainga), ho mpampianatra ny jentilisa amin’ ny finoana sy ny fahamarinana.
to which I was appointed a proclaimer and an emissary—I am telling the truth in Messiah, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 Koa tiako ny lehilahy hivavaka eny tontolo eny manandra-tanana masìna, tsy amin’ ny fahatezerana na amin’ ny fifandirana.
I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.
9 Ary toy izany koa ny vehivavy, hiravaka amin’ ny fitafiana mahamendrika mbamin’ ny fahamaotinana sy ny fahononan-tena, fa tsy amin’ ny volo mirandrana sy ny volamena, na vato soa, na fitafiana saro-bidy,
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 fa amin’ ny asa tsara, araka izay mahamendrika ny vehivavy manaiky ny fivavahana amin’ Andriamanitra.
but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.
11 Aoka ny vehivavy hianatra mangingina ka hanaiky tsara.
Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.
12 Fa ny vehivavy tsy avelako hampianatra na hanapaka ny lehilahy, fa hangina ihany.
But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
13 Fa Adama no natao voalohany, vao Eva.
For Adam was formed first, then Havah.
14 Ary tsy Adama no voafitaka, fa ny vehivavy no voafitaka, ka dia tonga mpanota.
Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
15 Nefa hovonjena ihany izy amin’ ny fiterahan-jaza, raha maharitra amin’ ny finoana sy ny fitiavana ary ny fahamasinana mbamin’ ny fahononan-tena.
but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.
