1 Timoteo 2
1 Bhai sha ntai kaje, nnjuganje na tenda eja kwa a Nnungu, kwa ligongo lya bhandunji bhowe,
I exhort, therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
2 kwa ligongo lya bhapalume, na bhowe bhakwetenje ukulungwa, nkupinga tutame ndamo ja ulele pamo na kwaakuya a Nnugnu, na ndamo ja ukonjelo na gundu.
for kings, and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and gravity.
3 Shene shindushi ni sha mmbone, shikwaanonyela a Nnungu, bhaatapula bhetu,
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
4 bhaapinga bhandu bhowe bhatapulwanje, na kuimanya indu ya kweli.
who is willing that all men should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 Pabha bhapali a Nnungu bhamope, na bhapali bhaalundanya bhamo, bhaalundanya bhandu na a Nnungu, ni mundu, a Yeshu Kilishitu,
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 bhene bhaishoshiye bhayene kwaatapulanga bhandu bhowe. Gwenego pugwaaliji ukong'ondelo, gakaishileje malanga gakwe ga pwaa, kuti a Nnungu bhanapinga kwaatapulanga bhandu bhowe.
who gave himself a ransom for all, of which the testimony has been given in its proper times,
7 Kwa lyene ligongolyo, njibhikwa kubha ntume, na nkulunguya, na nkujiganya, ku bhandu bhangabha Bhayaudi, ga ntenga gwa ngulupai na kweli. Ngunabheleketa kweli nngabha unami.
to give which testimony I have been appointed a preacher and an apostle; (I speak the truth, and lie not; ) a teacher of the Gentiles in faithfulness and in truth.
8 Bhai, shingupinga nne, popowe punkuimananga nkujuga, ngunaapinga bhanabhalume bhaajuganje a Nnungu, akuno bhajinwilenje makono gamatakaywe, bhalijuganga gwangali nnjimwa wala mitau.
I will, therefore, that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands without wrath and disputation.
9 Nneyo peyo, bhanabhakongwe bhawalanje nngubho ya mmbone, na ya shigundu, na ya langula kwiitimalika ntima, na nngabha kwiikelengelela kwa tibha umbo, wala kwa shaabhu na lulu, eu nngubho ya galama.
In like manner, also, I will that the women adorn themselves with decorous dress, with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly raiment,
10 Ikabheje kwa itendi ya mmbone, malinga shibhaapinjikwanga bhanabhakongwe bhakwaajogopanga a Nnungu.
but with good works; since this becomes women who profess godliness.
11 Bhanabhakongwe bhaijiganyanje kwa kwiitimalika, akuno bhalikundanga yowe.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 Nne nguti, jwankongwe anannjiganye wala kuntagwala jwannume, ikabhe aitimalishe.
I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 Pabha a Adamu ni bhatandwibhe kupanganywa, kungai a Awa.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 Na wala a Adamu bhangatembwa, ikabhe bhakongwe ni bhatembilwe, gubhajinjile muilebho.
And Adam was not deceived: but the woman being deceived, was in transgression;
15 Ikabheje, bhakongwe shibhatapulwe kwa bheleka bhana, ibhaga shibhalonjeye nngulupai na nkupingana, na ukonjelo, na ntima gwa kwiitimalika.
but they shall be saved by the bearing of children, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with sobriety.
