Timotheo I 2
1 Mme dikgakololo tsa me ke tse: Rapele lang ba bangwe thata; ba kopeleng kutlwelo botlhoko ya Modimo; lebogelang tsotlhe tse o tlaa di ba direlang.
I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men;
2 Ka yone tsela e, rapelelang dikgosi le botlhe ba ba nang le taolo mo go rona kgotsa ba maemo a a kwa godimo, gore re tle re tshele ka kagiso le kutlwano, re dirisa nako ya rona mo botshelong jwa Semodimo mme re akanya go le gontsi ka Morena.
for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.
3 Se, se molemo ebile se itumedisa Modimo Mmoloki wa rona,
This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 gonne o eleletsa botlhe go bolokwa le go tlhaloganya boammaaruri jo:
who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 gore Modimo o mo ntlheng e nngwe le batho botlhe ba ka fa ntlheng e nngwe, mme Jesu Keresete, yo e leng motho ka sebele, o mo gare ga bone go ba kopanya,
For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, [himself] man, Christ Jesus,
6 ka go naya batho botlhe botshelo jwa gagwe. Se ke molaetsa o Modimo o o neetseng lefatshe ka nako e e tshwanetseng.
who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony [to be borne] in its own times;
7 Mme ke tlhophilwe jaaka moruti le morongwa wa Modimo, se ke boammaaruri, gore ke rute Badichaba boammaaruri jo, le go ba supegetsa leano la poloko la Modimo ka tumelo.
whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 Jalo ke batla banna gongwe le gongwe go rapela ka mabogo a a itshekileng a tsholeleditswe kwa Modimong, ba golotswe mo sebeng le mo bogaleng le mo kgannyeng.
I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.
9 Mme le basadi fela jalo, ba didimetse, ba le botlhale ka go itshwara sentle le ka go apara. Bakeresete ba basadi ba tshwanetse go bonwa ka tshiamo le molemo, e seng ka mokgwa o ba iphorang moriri ka one kgotsa ka ntlha ya dibaga tsa bone kgotsa diaparo tse di tlhwatlhwa kgolo.
In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment;
but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.
11 Basadi ba tshwanetse go reetsa mme ba ithuta ka tidimalo le ka boikokobetso.
Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
12 Ga ke ise ke ko ke letle basadi go ruta banna kgotsa go ba laola. A ba didimale mo dikopanong tsa diphuthego tsa lona.
But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.
13 Ka ntlha ya eng? Ka ntlha ya gore Modimo o dirile Adamo pele, mme morago wa dira Efa.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve;
14 Mme ga se Adamo yo o neng a tsiediwa ke Satane, fa e se Efa, mme phelelo ya nna boleo.
and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:
15 Jalo Modimo wa romela kutlobotlhoko le pogiso mo basading fa bana ba bone ba tsholwa, mme o tlaa boloka mewa ya bone fa ba mo ikanya, ba tshela ba didimetse, ba siame, ba na le matshelo a a itumedisang.
but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
