1 Timoty 2
1 Ty añosihako valoha’e le te hanoeñe ho a ondaty iabio ty fihalaliañe, filolohañe, fañalañalañañe naho fañandriañañe,
First of all then, I am urging that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered regularly for all men;
2 naho amo mpanjakao naho o fonga mpifeheo, hiveloman-tika am-pianjiñañe naho fanintsiñañe, mañambeñe Hake vaho migahiñe.
for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and peaceful life in all godliness an gravity.
3 Fa izay ty soa naho mete am-pivazohoan’ Añahare Mpandrombak’ antika,
For this is good and pleasing in the eyes of our Saviour God,
4 ie satri’e te ho hene tra-drombake ondatio hahatendreke ty faharendrehañe ty hatò.
whose will it is that all men should be saved, and come into full knowledge of the truth.
5 Raike t’i Andrianañahare, naho raike ty Mpañalañalañe añivon’ Añahare naho ondatio, indaty atao Iesoà Norizañey,
For God is one; and one is mediator between God and man, the Man Christ Jesus,
6 i nanolotse ty fañòva’e ho vilin’ ai’ ze he’ey, ho fitaliliañe an-tsa do’e.
who gave himself as a ransom in behalf of all, to be attested in due time.
7 Izay ty nanendreañe ahy ho mpitaroñe naho Firàheñe—mivolan-katò iraho fa tsy mandañitse—ho mpañoke to naho migahiñe amo kilakila’ ndatio.
It was for this testimony that I myself was appointed a herald and apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), to be a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 Aa le salalàeko te hene hitalaho ondatio ndra aia’ aia am-pañonjoñam-pitàñe miavake, tsy an-kaboseke ndra lietse.
My wish, then, is that in every place the men should offer prayer, lifting up holy hands, free from anger and disputation;
9 Manahake izay, te hisaroñe ami’ty eva’e o rakembao, ho hendre naho tsò-po, tsy a-maròy mirandrañe tsy am-bolamena ndra hange, vaho tsy misikin-damba marerarera,
in like manner also the women. I desire women to clothe themselves in suitable apparel, adorning themselves with reverence and self- restraint; not with hair plaited with gold or pearls, or with expensive clothes,
10 fa mitolon-tsoa mañeva o rakemba manao ho mpitalaho aman’ Añahareo.
but (as becomes women proclaiming godliness) with the ornament of good deeds.
11 Ehe te hianjiñe naho hiandaly o rakembao t’ie mioke.
Let a woman learn quietly in entire submission.
12 Tsy meiko hañòke ndra hanan-dily ami’ty lahilahy ty rakemba, fa hianjiñe.
I allow no woman to teach, or to exercise authority over a man; but let her keep quiet.
13 Amy te namboareñe hey t’i Dame, vaho izay i Haova.
It was Adam who was first formed, then Eve.
14 Le tsy i Dame ty ni-fañahieñe, fa i rakembay ty finitake vaho nikorovoke an-kakeo.
And it was not Adam who was deceived; but it was the woman who was thoroughly deceived, and who became involved in transgression.
15 Ie amy zao, ho rombahen-dre amo fisamahañeo, ie milozoke am-patokisañe naho fikokoañe vaho fiavahañe mitrao-pilieram-batañe.
Notwithstanding she will be saved by the Child-bearing; (so will they all), if they live in faith and love and holiness, with self- restraint.
