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 therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks be made 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 [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
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 in the sight of God our Savior;
4 Ko tana nei e pai ai ko nga tangata katoa kia ora, kia haere mai hoki ki te matauranga ki te pono.
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come 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 [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
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 all, to be testified 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.
For which I am ordained a preacher and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, [and] lie not) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
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 will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
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;
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in decent apparel, with modesty and sobriety; not with broidered hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array,
10 Engari ko te mea e tau ana mo nga wahine e whakaae ana ki te karakia, ara ko nga mahi pai.
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
11 Me ako marie te wahine kia nui te ngohengohe.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
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.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 Ko Arama hoki kua hanga i mua, muri iho ko Iwi.
For Adam was first formed, 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 deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 Otira ka ora ia i te whanautanga tamariki, ki te mau tonu to ratou whakapono, aroha, tapu, whakaaro.
Notwithstanding, she will be saved in child-bearing, if they continue in faith, and charity, and holiness, with sobriety.
