1 Timoteo 2
1 AMONESTO pues, ante todas cosas, que se hagan rogativas, oraciones, peticiones, hacimientos de gracias, por todos los hombres;
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 Por los reyes y por todos los que están en eminencia, para que vivamos quieta y reposadamente en toda piedad y honestidad.
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 Porque esto es bueno y agradable delante de Dios nuestro Salvador;
It is good [to pray like that, and] it pleases God, who saves us, when we pray like that.
4 El cual quiere que todos los hombres sean salvos, y que vengan al conocimiento de la verdad.
He desires to save everyone. He wants everyone to fully know [and accept] his true [message].
5 Porque hay un Dios, asimismo un mediador entre Dios y los hombres, Jesucristo hombre;
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 El cual se dió á sí mismo [en] precio del rescate por todos, [para] testimonio en sus tiempos:
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 De lo que yo soy puesto por predicador y apóstol, (digo verdad en Cristo, no miento) doctor de los Gentiles en fidelidad y verdad.
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 Quiero, pues, que los hombres oren en todo lugar, levantando manos limpias, sin ira ni contienda.
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 Asimismo también las mujeres, ataviándose en hábito honesto, con vergüenza y modestia; no con cabellos encrespados, ú oro, ó perlas, ó vestidos costosos,
[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 Sino de buenas obras, como conviene á mujeres que profesan piedad.
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 La mujer aprenda en silencio, con toda sujeción.
Women must learn to [listen] quietly [during the worship services] and to fully subject themselves [to the leaders of the congregation].
12 Porque no permito á la mujer enseñar, ni tomar autoridad sobre el hombre, sino estar en silencio.
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 Porque Adam fué formado el primero, después Eva;
Keep in mind that God made Adam first, and afterwards he made Eve,
14 Y Adam no fué engañado, sino la mujer, siendo seducida, vino á ser [envuelta] en transgresión:
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 Empero se salvará engendrando hijos, si permaneciere en la fe y caridad y santidad, con modestia.
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.
