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, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, 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 for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 Se, se molemo ebile se itumedisa Modimo Mmoloki wa rona,
For 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 will have all men to be saved, and to come unto 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, and one mediator between God and men, the 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, to be testified in due time.
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.
Unto 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 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 will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
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 also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with reverence and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
But (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
11 Basadi ba tshwanetse go reetsa mme ba ithuta ka tidimalo le ka boikokobetso.
Let the woman learn in silence 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 suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
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 deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the 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.
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and love (agape) and holiness with sobriety.
