1 Timothy 2
1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made 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 all that are in dignity, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and gravity;
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 before our Saviour God,
Nke a bụkwa ihe dị mma na ihe na-atọ Chineke Onye nzọpụta anyị ezi ụtọ.
4 who desires that all men should be saved and come to [the] knowledge of [the] truth.
Onye chọrọ ka a zọpụta mmadụ niile, ka ha niile bịaruo na mmazu nke eziokwu.
5 For God is one, and [the] mediator of God and men one, [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 a ransom for all, the testimony [to be rendered] in its own times;
Onye weere onwe ya ka ọ bụrụ ihe mgbapụta nʼihi mmadụ niile, nke bụ ịgba ama a na-enye nʼoge ya.
7 to which I have been appointed a herald and apostle, (I speak [the] truth, I do not lie, ) a teacher of [the] nations in faith and 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 I will therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up pious hands, without wrath or reasoning.
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 In like manner also that the women in decent deportment and dress adorn themselves with modesty and discretion, not with plaited [hair] and gold, or pearls, or costly clothing,
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, what becomes women making profession of the fear of God, by 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 quietness in all subjection;
Nwanyị kwesikwara iji obi dị umeala na obi dị nwayọọ gee ntị mụtakwa ihe mgbe a na-ezi ihe.
12 but I do not suffer a woman to teach nor to exercise authority over man, but to be in quietness;
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 deceived; but the woman, having been deceived, was in transgression.
Ọ bụkwaghị Adam ka a ghọgburu, kama ọ bụ nwanyị ka a ghọgburu mee ka ọ bụrụ onye mmebi iwu.
15 But she shall be preserved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with discretion.
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.
