1 Timothy 2
1 Nítorí náà mo gbà yín níyànjú ṣáájú ohun gbogbo, pé kí a máa bẹ̀bẹ̀, kí a máa gbàdúrà, kí a máa ṣìpẹ̀, àti kí a máa dúpẹ́ nítorí gbogbo ènìyàn.
I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings, be made for all people:
2 Fún àwọn ọba, àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà ni ipò àṣẹ, kí a lè máa lo ayé wa ní àlàáfíà àti ìdákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́ pẹ̀lú nínú gbogbo ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run àti ìwà mímọ́.
for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
3 Nítorí èyí dára, ó sì ṣe ìtẹ́wọ́gbà níwájú Ọlọ́run Olùgbàlà wa;
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
4 ẹni tí ó fẹ́ kí gbogbo ènìyàn ní ìgbàlà kí wọ́n sì wá sínú ìmọ̀ òtítọ́.
who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
5 Nítorí Ọlọ́run kan ní ń bẹ, onílàjà kan pẹ̀lú láàrín Ọlọ́run àti ènìyàn, àní Kristi Jesu ọkùnrin náà.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and humanity, a human, Christ Jesus,
6 Ẹni ti ó fi ara rẹ̀ ṣe ìràpadà fún gbogbo ènìyàn—ẹ̀rí tí a fi fún ni ní àkókò tó yẹ.
who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;
7 Nítorí èyí tí a yàn mi ṣe oníwàásù, aposteli òtítọ́ ni èmi ń sọ, èmi kò ṣèké olùkọ́ àwọn aláìkọlà nínú ìgbàgbọ́ àti òtítọ́.
to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the non-Jews in faith and truth.
8 Mo fẹ́ kí àwọn ọkùnrin máa gbàdúrà níbi gbogbo, kí wọ́n máa gbé ọwọ́ mímọ́ sókè, ní àìbínú àti àìjiyàn.
I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.
9 Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni kí àwọn obìnrin fi aṣọ ìwọ̀ntúnwọ̀nsì ṣe ara wọn ní ọ̀ṣọ́, ní ìwọ̀ntúnwọ̀nsì àti pẹ̀lú ìwà àìrékọjá; kì í ṣe pẹ̀lú irun dídì, tàbí wúrà, tàbí peali, tàbí aṣọ olówó iyebíye,
In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing;
10 bí kò ṣe pẹ̀lú iṣẹ́ rere, èyí tí ó yẹ fún àwọn obìnrin tó jẹ́wọ́ pé wọ́n sin Ọlọ́run.
but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
11 Jẹ́ kí obìnrin máa fi ìdákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́ àti ìtẹríba gbogbo kọ́ ẹ̀kọ́.
Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò fi àṣẹ fún obìnrin láti máa kọ́ni, tàbí láti pàṣẹ lórí ọkùnrin, bí kò ṣe kí ó dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́.
But I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
13 Nítorí Adamu ni a kọ́ dá, lẹ́yìn náà, Efa.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 Adamu kọ́ ni a tànjẹ, ṣùgbọ́n obìnrin náà ni a tàn tí ó sì di ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀.
Adam was not deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
15 Ṣùgbọ́n a ó gbà àwọn obìnrin là nípa ìbímọ wọn, bí wọ́n bá dúró nínú ìgbàgbọ́, ìfẹ́, àti ìwà mímọ́ pẹ̀lú ìwà àìrékọjá.
but she will be delivered through the childbirth, if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
