1 Timothy 2
1 And so I beg you, first of all, to make supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings for all men,
Na mbụ, ana m arịọ ka e kpee ekpere, kwuchite ọnụ ndị ọzọ nʼekpere, ma nye ekele nʼisi mmadụ niile,
2 for kings, and for all who are in high places, so that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and chastity.
kpee ekpere maka ndị eze niile, na ndị niile nọ nʼọnọdụ ọchịchị, ka anyị nwee ike bie ndụ udo na nke nsogbu na-adịghị, nʼime ịsọpụrụ Chineke dị ka ọ chọrọ.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
Nke a bụkwa ihe dị mma na ihe na-atọ Chineke Onye nzọpụta anyị ezi ụtọ.
4 who wants all men to be saved and to arrive at an acknowledgment of the truth.
Onye chọrọ ka a zọpụta mmadụ niile, ka ha niile bịaruo na mmazu nke eziokwu.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
Nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị otu Chineke dị. Ọ bụkwa naanị otu onye ogbugbo dị nʼetiti Chineke na mmadụ. Kraịst Jisọs, onye ya onwe ya bụ mmadụ.
6 who gave himself as a redemption for all, as a testimony in its proper time.
Onye weere onwe ya ka ọ bụrụ ihe mgbapụta nʼihi mmadụ niile, nke bụ ịgba ama a na-enye nʼoge ya.
7 Of this testimony, I have been appointed a preacher and an Apostle, (I speak the truth, I do not lie) as a teacher of the Gentiles, in faith and in truth.
Nʼihi nke a, a họpụtara m ka m bụrụ ọnụ na-ekwuru ọha nakwa onyeozi, na onye nkuzi nye ndị mba ọzọ banyere ezi okwukwe ahụ. Eziokwu ka m na-ekwu, anaghị m agha ụgha.
8 Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension.
Nʼihi nke a, achọrọ m ka ndị ikom, nʼebe niile na-achili aka dị nsọ elu nʼekpere, na-ebughị iwe nʼobi, na-arụkwaghị ụka.
9 Similarly also, women should be dressed fittingly, adorning themselves with compunction and restraint, and not with plaited hair, nor gold, nor pearls, nor costly attire,
Achọkwara m ka ndị inyom kwadoo onwe ha nʼụzọ kwesiri ekwesi, ka ha jiri nsọpụrụ na uche zuruoke chọọ onwe ha mma. Ọ bụghị isi a kpara akpa, ma ọ bụkwanụ ngwa mma nke ọlaedo maọbụ pieal, maọbụ uwe dị oke ọnụahịa ha na-eyi.
10 but in a manner proper for women who are professing piety by means of good works.
Kama site nʼezi ọrụ ọma ha nke kwesiri ndị inyom na-ekwupụta na ha na-ekpere Chineke.
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.
Nwanyị kwesikwara iji obi dị umeala na obi dị nwayọọ gee ntị mụtakwa ihe mgbe a na-ezi ihe.
12 For I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to be in authority over a man, but to be in silence.
Ekwenyeghị m ka nwanyị zie ihe, maọbụ ka ọ bụrụ onyeisi nʼebe ndị nwoke nọ. Ha kwesiri ịnọ nwayọọ mgbe ọbụla unu zukọrọ.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
Ọ bụ nʼihi na e buru ụzọ kee Adam tupu e kee Iiv.
14 And Adam was not seduced, but the woman, having been seduced, was in transgression.
Ọ bụkwaghị Adam ka a ghọgburu, kama ọ bụ nwanyị ka a ghọgburu mee ka ọ bụrụ onye mmebi iwu.
15 Yet she will be saved by bearing children, if she has continued in faith and love, and in sanctification accompanied by self-restraint.
Ma a ga-azọpụta ha site nʼọmụmụ nwa ma ọ bụrụ na ha anọgide na-ebi ndụ okwukwe na ịhụnanya, na ịdị nsọ, na nke uche zuruoke.
