1 Timothy 2
1 And so I beg you, first of all, to make supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings for all men,
Ko ia ʻoku ou enginaki, ke fuofua fai ʻae kole, mo e ngaahi lotu, mo e hūfekina maʻu, mo e fakafetaʻi, koeʻuhi ko e kakai kotoa pē;
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.
Koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tuʻi, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku pule: koeʻuhi ke tau moʻui ʻi he moʻui fiemālie mo e melino, ʻi he angafakaʻotua mo e anga totonu kotoa pē.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
He ko e meʻa lelei eni, pea ʻaonga ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ko hotau Fakamoʻui;
4 who wants all men to be saved and to arrive at an acknowledgment of the truth.
ʻAia ʻoku finangalo ke fakamoʻui ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea ke lavaʻi ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻoe moʻoni.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
He ʻoku taha pe ʻae ʻOtua mo e fakalaloa pe taha ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ʻOtua mo e kakai, ko e tangata ko Kalaisi Sisu;
6 who gave himself as a redemption for all, as a testimony in its proper time.
ʻAia naʻa ne foaki ʻe ia ia ko e totongi huhuʻi mā ʻae kakai kotoa pē, [ʻaia ]ʻe fakamoʻoni ʻi hono kuonga totonu.
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.
ʻAia kuo fakanofo au ki ai ko e malanga, mo e ʻaposetolo, (ʻoku ou leaʻaki ʻae moʻoni ʻia Kalaisi, ʻoku ʻikai teu loi; ) ko e akonaki ki he ngaahi Senitaile ʻi he tui mo e moʻoni.
8 Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension.
Ko ia ko hoku loto ke lotu ʻae kakai ʻi he potu kotoa pē, ʻo mafao atu ʻae nima māʻoniʻoni, ʻo taʻeʻita mo taʻefakataʻetaʻetui.
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,
Pea ke pehē ʻae kau fefine foki, ke nau teuʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae kofu ʻoku ngali ke ʻai, mo e mata angavaivai mo e anga fakapotopoto; kae ʻikai ʻi he fafatu ʻoe louʻulu, pe ʻi he [ʻai ʻae ]koula, pe ko e mataʻitofe, pe ʻi he teungaʻaki ʻae koloa lahi;
10 but in a manner proper for women who are professing piety by means of good works.
Ka ʻi he ngaahi ngaue lelei ʻaia ʻoku tau mo e kau fefine ʻoku nau fakahā ko e kau lotu ʻakinautolu ki he ʻOtua.
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.
Ke tali ʻe he kau fefine ʻae akonaki ʻi he fakalongo pē mo e angavaivai kotoa pē.
12 For I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to be in authority over a man, but to be in silence.
He ʻoku ʻikai te u tuku ʻae fefine ke akonaki, pe ke faʻao ʻae pule ʻae tangata, ka ke fakalongo pe.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
He naʻe fuofua ngaohi ʻa ʻAtama, kae ʻi mui ʻa ʻIvi.
14 And Adam was not seduced, but the woman, having been seduced, was in transgression.
Pea naʻe ʻikai kākāʻia ʻa ʻAtama, ka ko e fefine naʻe kākāʻia pea tō ia ki he talangataʻa.
15 Yet she will be saved by bearing children, if she has continued in faith and love, and in sanctification accompanied by self-restraint.
Ka neongo ia ʻe fakamoʻui ia ʻi he fānau, ʻo kapau ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻakinautolu ʻi he tui mo e ʻofa mo e māʻoniʻoni mo e anga fakapotopoto.
