1 Timoti 2
1 Na, ko taku whakahau tenei i te tuatahi o nga mea katoa, kia puta nga inoi, nga karakia, nga inoi wawao, nga whakawhetai, mo nga tangata katoa;
I exhort thee, therefore, first of all, that thou present to God supplication, and prayer, and intercession, and thanksgiving, for all men:
2 Mo nga kingi, mo te hunga whai mana katoa hoki: kia ata noho marie ai tatou i runga i nga whakaaro karakia, i nga tikanga mahara katoa.
for kings and magistrates, that we may dwell in a quiet and tranquil habitation, with all reverence for God, and with purity.
3 He mea pai tenei, he mea e manakohia ana i te aroaro o te Atua, o to tatou Kaiwhakaora;
For this is good and acceptable before God our life-giver;
4 Ko tana nei e pai ai ko nga tangata katoa kia ora, kia haere mai hoki ki te matauranga ki te pono.
who would have all men live, and be converted to the knowledge of the truth.
5 Kotahi tonu te Atua, kotahi te takawaenga o te Atua, o nga tangata, ko ia ano he tangata, ara ko Karaiti Ihu;
For God is one; and the mediator between God and men is one, namely the man Jesus the Messiah;
6 I hoatu nei i a ia hei utu mo te katoa; he mea kia whakaaturia i ona wa ake;
who gave himself a ransom for every man; a testimony that arrived in due time,
7 A meinga ana ahau hei karere, hei apotoro mo taua mea; he pono taku korero i roto i a te Karaiti, kahore aku teka; hei kaiwhakaako mo nga tauiwi i runga i te whakapono, i te pono.
of which I am constituted a herald and legate. I speak the truth, and do not lie, for I am the teacher of the Gentiles in the belief of the truth.
8 Na, ko taku e pai ai, ko nga tane kia inoi i nga wahi katoa, kia tapu nga ringa ina ara, kaua he riri, he tautohetohe.
I desire therefore, that men may pray in every place, while they lift up their hands with purity, without wrath, and without disputations.
9 Ko nga wahine hoki kia mau i te kakahu ataahua, kia tu whakama, kia whai whakaaro; kauaka te makawe whiri, te koura, te peara, te kakahu utu nui;
So also, that women appear in a chaste fashion of dress; and that their adorning be with modesty and chastity; not with curls, or with gold, or with pearls, or with splendid robes;
10 Engari ko te mea e tau ana mo nga wahine e whakaae ana ki te karakia, ara ko nga mahi pai.
but with good works, as becometh women who profess reverence for God.
11 Me ako marie te wahine kia nui te ngohengohe.
Let a woman learn in silence, with all submission:
12 E kore hoki e tukua e ahau te wahine kia whakaako, kia neke ake ranei tana tikanga i ta te tane, engari me ata noho.
for I do not allow a woman to teach, or to be assuming over the man; but let her remain in stillness.
13 Ko Arama hoki kua hanga i mua, muri iho ko Iwi.
For Adam was first formed, and then Eve.
14 A kihai a Arama i tinihangatia, ko te wahine ia i tinihangatia, a taka ana ki te he.
And Adam was not seduced, but the woman was seduced and transgressed the command.
15 Otira ka ora ia i te whanautanga tamariki, ki te mau tonu to ratou whakapono, aroha, tapu, whakaaro.
Yet she shall live by means of her children, if they continue in the faith, and in love, and in sanctity, and in chastity.
