1 Timothy 2
1 And so I beg you, first of all, to make supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings for all men,
Boye liboso na nyonso, nazali kolendisa ete bosengaka na Nzambe, bosambelaka Ye, bobondelaka Ye mpo na bato mosusu mpe bozongiselaka Ye matondi mpo na bato nyonso,
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.
mpo na bakonzi mpe mpo na bakambi nyonso, mpo ete tokoka kobika bomoi ya boboto, ya kimia, ya botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe, mpe bomoi ya bosantu.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
Pamba te yango nde ezali malamu mpe esepelisaka Nzambe Mobikisi na biso,
4 who wants all men to be saved and to arrive at an acknowledgment of the truth.
oyo alingi ete bato nyonso babikisama mpe bayeba solo.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
Solo, ezali na Nzambe kaka moko. Ndenge moko mpe ezali na Moyokanisi kaka moko kati na Nzambe mpe bato: ezali moto moko, Yesu-Klisto
6 who gave himself as a redemption for all, as a testimony in its proper time.
oyo amikabaki lokola mbeka mpo na kokangola bato nyonso. Yango nde litatoli oyo epesamaki na tango oyo abongisa.
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.
Ezali mpe mpo na litatoli yango nde Nzambe atiaki ngai mopanzi sango mpe ntoma, mpo na kolakisa kondima mpe solo epai ya Bapagano. Nazali kokosa te, nazali nde koloba solo.
8 Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension.
Yango wana nalingi ete mibali basambelaka na bisika nyonso, na kotombola maboko ya bule, na kanda te mpe na koswana te.
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,
Nalingi mpe ete basi balataka na ndenge oyo ebongi, oyo ekoki te kobetisa bato mabaku, mpe na ndenge ya lolendo te; bakangisa suki te mpe balata te ezala biloko ya wolo, mayaka to bilamba ya talo makasi,
10 but in a manner proper for women who are professing piety by means of good works.
kasi balata nde misala ya malamu, misala oyo ebongi mpo na basi oyo batatolaka polele ete bagumbamelaka Nzambe.
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.
Na tango ya mateya, basi basengeli kovanda nye mpe kozala na botosi.
12 For I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to be in authority over a man, but to be in silence.
Napesi te na mwasi nzela ya koteya to ya kozala na bokonzi na likolo ya mobali; mwasi asengeli nde kovanda nye.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
Solo Nzambe asalaki liboso Adamu, mpe sima, Eva.
14 And Adam was not seduced, but the woman, having been seduced, was in transgression.
Ezali Adamu te moto akosamaki; ezali mwasi nde akosamaki mpe abukaki mobeko ya Nzambe,
15 Yet she will be saved by bearing children, if she has continued in faith and love, and in sanctification accompanied by self-restraint.
kasi mwasi akobikisama na nzela ya kobota. Basi bakobikisama soki bakobi kati na kondima, kati na bolingo mpe kati na bosantu oyo ezangi lolendo.
