1 Timote 2
1 To pongah, hmaloe koekah, kaminawk boih han lawkthui paeh; nihcae han hni paeh, lawkthui paeh, kawnhaih lok to thui paeh;
I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,
2 Sithaw a bok o moe, pakoeh o thaih han hoi monghaih hoi kamding rue ah kho a sak o thai hanah, siangpahrangnawk hoi ukhaih akaa tawn kaminawk boih hanah lawkthui paeh.
for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
3 Hae tiah lawkthuihaih loe aicae pahlongkung Sithaw mikhnuk ah tapom thai koi kahoih hmuen ah oh;
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
4 kaminawk boih to pahlong moe, loktang lok panoeksakhaih loe anih koehhaih ah oh.
who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
5 Sithaw maeto khue oh moe, Sithaw hoi kami salakah Laicaeh maeto khue ni oh, to Kami loe Kri Jesu to ni;
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Messiah Yeshua,
6 Anih loe kami boih akrang hanah, atue akoep naah amtueng moe, angmah hoi angmah to angpaek.
who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,
7 To pongah ni kai hae tamthanglok taphong kami hoi patoeh ih kami ah ang suek, (Kri ah loktang ni ka thuih, lok kamlai ai; ) tanghaih hoi loktang lok taphong hanah Gentelnawk patukkung ah ang suek.
to which I was appointed a proclaimer and an emissary—I am telling the truth in Messiah, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 To pongah nongpanawk mah kaciim ban to payangh moe, palungphuihaih hoi palunghaenghaih om ai ah, ahmuen kruekah lawkthuih o han ka koeh haih.
I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.
9 To baktih toengah nongpatanawk mah doeh, khet kahoih ah amthoep moe, khet kamcuk khukbuen to angkhuk o han oh, sampakhui han om ai, sui bungmu doeh, atho kana pale doeh, atho kana khukbuennawk hoiah doeh amthoep o han om ai,
In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,
10 toe (Sithaw koehhaih baktiah khosah nongpatanawk loe) kahoih toksakhaih hoiah amthoep o han o.
but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.
11 Nongpata loe ukhaih tlim ah khosah nasoe loe, lokpunghaih om ai ah amtuk nasoe.
Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.
12 Toe nongpata mah patuk moe, nongpa nuiah sakthaihaih akaa tawnh hanah ka koeh haih ai, anih loe anghngai duem han oh.
But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
13 Adam sak pacoengah ni Evi to sak vop.
For Adam was formed first, then Havah.
14 Adam loe pacuek ah om ai, nongpata loe pacuek ah oh moe, zaehaih thungah amtimh.
Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
15 Toe nongpata loe tanghaih, amlunghaih, ciimcaihaih hoi tuinuen angsumhaih bangah cak poe nahaeloe, ca tapenhaih kana pauephaih thung hoiah pahlonghaih hnu o tih.
but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.
