Timoteus I 2
1 Iet me i men panaui mas: Komail ngidingideki o kapakapki, o poekipoeki aramas akan karos, o wia danke.
The first (OR, most important) thing that I urge [you to tell your congregation] is that [Christians] should continually ask [God] for [what they need]. They should also pray to God [for all other people], and they should be thanking [God].
2 Kapakapaki nanmarki o saumas akan karos, pwe sen meleilei o insememau, wiawia me kon ong Kot o melel.
Specifically, they should pray for rulers and for all [other people] who (are in important government positions/have authority), in order that [God will help them to rule]. [As God enables the rulers to rule well], we can live very peaceably as we conduct ours lives doing all that God and others consider to be right and proper.
3 Pwe i me mau o kon ong atail Saunkamaur Kot,
It is good [to pray like that, and] it pleases God, who saves us, when we pray like that.
4 Me kotin men, aramas akan karos en dorela o lolekong kila melel.
He desires to save everyone. He wants everyone to fully know [and accept] his true [message].
5 Pwe Kot me ta men o wilia patail me ta men nan pung en Kot o aramas akan, iet Aramas Kristus Iesus.
He is the [only] one [true] God! And there is [only] one person who talks to God on behalf of people. That person is Christ Jesus, who [himself] is a man!
6 Me kotin wiala en aramas karos ar men pwaipwai, kadede en met, en lolok sili ni ansau me kon ong.
He gave (his [life/himself]) [as a sacrifice] in order to ransom/redeem all [people], which showed at the proper time [that God desires that all people be saved] {[to save all people]}.
7 I me i wia kila saunkair o wanporon amen, i kin lokaia melel o so likam, o saunpadak ong men liki kan ni poson o melel.
As for me, he appointed me to declare [this message] and to be an apostle. I am telling the truth [about God appointing me]. I am not lying! He appointed me to teach the non-Jews that they should believe God’s true message.
8 I me i men, ol akan en kapakap ni wasa karos, ni ar pokada pa ar saraui, so makar o so peikasal.
I desire that in every place [where believers worship], the men who pray publicly [MTY] should be men who are not practicing sin. When they pray, they should not be angry [with anyone] and they should not doubt [that God will answer] their prayers (OR, should not quarrel with anyone).
9 Pil dueta li akan, ren kapwadeki likau makelekel o lelapok, o tiak mau, a kaidin ni ingid pit en monga, de kold, de manaman akan, de likau lingan,
[I would like that] the clothing that women wear be (modest and sensible/proper and appropriate) [DOU]. I want them to not fix their hair in fancy/elaborate ways, nor wear gold [jewelry], nor pearls, nor expensive clothing [in order that they may make themselves attractive].
10 A me kon ong li akan, me men kasaleda ar masak Kot ni ar wiawia mau kan.
Instead, they should be doing things that women who (claim to/say that they) worship God should do; that is, they should be doing good deeds.
11 Li akan en nenenla, ap padapadakki ni tiak en impimpai.
Women must learn to [listen] quietly [during the worship services] and to fully subject themselves [to the leaders of the congregation].
12 I sota mueid ong li amen, en wiada padak, de kaunda ol, a en nenenla.
I do not permit women to teach [men spiritual truth publicly], and I do not permit them to have authority over men. Instead, [I desire] that women [listen] quietly [during the worship services].
13 Pwe Adam me wiauier mas, a muri Ewa.
Keep in mind that God made Adam first, and afterwards he made Eve,
14 A kaidin Adam, me katiamaula, a li o me katiamaular, ap pupedi ni me sapung.
and that it was not Adam whom [Satan] deceived. As a result of the woman being deceived, she sinned. She did what God had told her not to do.
15 A a pan dorela ni a naitik ma a pan podidi ong poson, o limpok, o saraui, o tiak mau.
But even though she did that, now women will be saved {God will accept women} as they bear children if they continue to trust [God] and if they continue to love others, and if they continue to live in a way that is [more and more] (acceptable to God/like God wants them to), and if they continue to be modest.
