१ तिमोथी 2
1 यसकारण, सर्वप्रथम म आग्रह गर्दछु कि सबै मानिसहरूको निम्ति अनुरोधहरू, प्रार्थनाहरू, अन्तरबिन्तीहरू र धन्यवाद चढाइऊन्,
First of all, then, I ask that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings should be offered for everyone,
2 राजाहरूका लागि र अधिकारमा हुनेहरूका लागि पनि ताकि हामीले हरप्रकारले धार्मिक र मर्यादापूर्वक आदरणीय र शान्तिपूर्ण जीवन जिउन सकौँ ।
especially for kings and all who are in high positions, in order that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in a deeply religious and reverent spirit.
3 यो परमेश्वर हाम्रा मुक्तिदाताको सामु असल र ग्रहणयोग्य छ ।
This will be good and acceptable in the eyes of God, our Saviour,
4 उहाँले सबै मानिसहरू बाचून् र सत्यताको ज्ञानमा आऊन् भन्ने चाहनुहुन्छ ।
whose will is that everyone should be saved, and attain to a full knowledge of the truth.
5 किनभने परमेश्वर एकमात्र हुनुहुन्छ, मानिस र परमेश्वरको बीच केवल एकमात्र मध्यस्तकर्ता, मानिस ख्रीष्ट येशू हुनुहुन्छ ।
There is but one God, and one mediator between God and humanity – the human, Christ Jesus,
6 जसले आफैँलाई सबैका छुटकाराको मोलको स्वरूप दिनुभयो, जुन ठीक समयमा दिइएको थियो ।
who gave himself as a ransom on behalf of all. This must be our testimony, as opportunities present themselves;
7 यसै उद्देश्यसको लागी एक सन्देशवाहक बनाइएँ । म साँचो बोल्छु; म ढाँट्दिन । म विश्वास र सत्यतामा अन्यजातीहरूको शिक्षक हुँ ।
and it was for this that I was myself appointed a herald and an apostle (I am telling the simple truth and no lie) – a teacher of the Gentiles in the faith and truth.
8 यसकारण, म सबै ठाउँमा पुरुषहरूले विना क्रोध र शंका, पवित्र हात उचाल्दै प्रार्थना गरेको चाहन्छु ।
My desire, then, is that it should be the custom everywhere for the men to lead the prayers, with hands reverently uplifted, avoiding heated controversy.
9 यसै गरी म महिलाहरूले सरलता, भद्रता र आत्मसंयमताकासाथ वस्त्र पहिरुन्, कपालको सृंगारपटार वा सुन वा मोती वा बहुमूल्य वस्त्र पहिरेर होइन,
I also desire that women should adorn themselves with appropriate dress, worn quietly and modestly, and not with wreaths or gold ornaments for the hair, or pearls, or costly clothing,
10 तर महिलालाई सुहाउने भक्ति देकखाउने असल कामहारूद्वारा सुसज्जित होऊन ।
but – as is proper for women who profess to be religious – with good actions.
11 एउटा स्त्रीले सारा आज्ञापालन चुपचापसित सिकून् ।
They must learn, listening quietly to their teachers and showing them all deference.
12 म स्त्रीलाई सिकाउन र पुरुषमाथि अधिकार गर्न अनुमति दिन्न तर तिनी चुपचाप रहून् ।
I do not consent to them becoming teachers, or exercising authority over men; they ought to not make a fuss.
13 किनभने आदम पहिले सृष्टि भएका थिए त्यसपछि हव्वा
Adam was formed first, not Eve.
14 र आदम छलिएका थिएन तर स्त्री पूर्ण रूपले अपराधमा छलिएकी थिइन् ।
And it was not Adam who was deceived; it was the woman who was entirely deceived and fell into sin.
15 तरै पनि, यदि तिनीहरू भद्रतासाथ विश्वास, प्रेम र पवित्र आत्मामा लागि रहे भने बालक जन्माउदा तिनीहरू बचाइनेछन् ।
But she will be saved by the birth of a child, if they never abandon faith, love, or holiness, and behave with modesty.
