1 Timoty 2
1 Koa mananatra voalohany indrindra aho mba hatao izay fangatahana, fivavahana, fifonana, fisaorana, ho an’ ny olona rehetra,
I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, 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 authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,
3 Izany no tsara ka ankasitrahana eo imason’ Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy antsika,
for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Saviour,
4 Izay tia ny olona rehetra hovonjena ka ho tonga amin’ ny fahalalana ny marina.
who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the 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 one [is] God, one also [is] mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 sady nanolotra ny tenany ho avotra hisolo ny olona rehetra, dia zavatra ho fitory amin’ izao androny izao.
who did give himself a ransom for all — the testimony in its own times —
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.
in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle — truth I say in Christ, I do not lie — a teacher of nations, 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 wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;
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 like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price,
10 fa amin’ ny asa tsara, araka izay mahamendrika ny vehivavy manaiky ny fivavahana amin’ Andriamanitra.
but — which becometh women professing godly piety — through good works.
11 Aoka ny vehivavy hianatra mangingina ka hanaiky tsara.
Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,
12 Fa ny vehivavy tsy avelako hampianatra na hanapaka ny lehilahy, fa hangina ihany.
and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,
13 Fa Adama no natao voalohany, vao Eva.
for Adam was first formed, then Eve,
14 Ary tsy Adama no voafitaka, fa ny vehivavy no voafitaka, ka dia tonga mpanota.
and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,
15 Nefa hovonjena ihany izy amin’ ny fiterahan-jaza, raha maharitra amin’ ny finoana sy ny fitiavana ary ny fahamasinana mbamin’ ny fahononan-tena.
and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
