< 1 Timothy 2 >

1 I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:
Te dongah rhenbihnah, thangthuinah, rhikhangnah, uemonah te hlang boeih yueng, manghai rhoek neh dudapnah dongah aka om rhoek boeih yueng la boeih saii lamhma ham kam bih.
2 for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,
Te daengah ni khosaknah he hingcimnah neh hinomnah cungkuem dongah rhalthal neh dingsuek la kho n'sak uh eh.
3 for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Saviour,
He ni he then tih mamih kah khangkung Pathen hmaiah mikcop la om.
4 who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;
Amah loh hlang boeih khang ham neh oltak mingnah la pha sak ham a ngaih.
5 for one [is] God, one also [is] mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
Pathen tah pakhat ni. Pathen neh hlang rhoek kah rhikhangkung tah hlang Jesuh Khrih pakhat ni a om.
6 who did give himself a ransom for all — the testimony in its own times —
Amah loh hlang boeih ham tlansum la paek tih laipainah te amah tue ah a tueng sak.
7 in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle — truth I say in Christ, I do not lie — a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.
Te ham olhoe neh caeltueih la kai n'khueh dongah oltak ni ka thui. Tangnah neh oltak dongah kai namtom kah saya he ka laithae moenih.
8 I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;
Te dongah hmuen takuem ah tongpa rhoek te thintoek neh oelhtaihnah om kolla kut cim te phuel tih thangthui sak ka ngaih.
9 in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price,
Te vanbangla huta rhoek khaw amamih he bainak dongah yahyongnah, cuepmueihnah neh mikcop la khoem uh saeh. Samvaeh neh sui neh laitha neh pueinak phutlo nen moenih.
10 but — which becometh women professing godly piety — through good works.
Tedae bibi then neh Pathen hinyahnah ham ol a caeng te huta rhoek ham rhoeh coeng.
11 Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,
Huta tah a cungkuem dongah boengainah neh kammueh la cang saeh.
12 and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,
Te dongah huta loh thuituen ham neh tongpa soah ka tanglue sak pawh. Tedae kammueh la om sak ham ni ka ngaih.
13 for Adam was first formed, then Eve,
Adam tah Eve hlanah a hlinsai lamhma ta.
14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,
Te phoeiah Adam te a hmilhmak moenih. Tedae huta tah boekoeknah la om ham a hoilae pah coeng.
15 and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
Tedae tangnah dongah lungnah neh cimcaihnah, cuepmueihnah neh a om uh atah cacunnah rhangneh daem ni.
