1 Timothy 2
1 First of all, I want to encourage you to pray for everybody: make requests of God, ask on their behalf, and give thanks.
ⲁ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲓ ϭⲉ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲗⲏⲗ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ̅. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ.
2 Pray like this for kings and all types of leaders so that we may live quiet and peaceful lives, always thinking about God and taking life seriously.
ⲃ̅ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲣⲣⲱⲟⲩ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲛⲟϭ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁϩⲉ ⲉϥⲥϭⲣⲁϩⲧ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥϩⲟⲣⲕ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ.
3 This is what is good, and what pleases God our Savior.
ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥϣⲏⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ.
4 He wants everyone to be saved, and come to understand what truth really is.
ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲉϣⲧⲣⲉⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲱⲛϩ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and mankind—the man Christ Jesus.
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅
6 He gave himself so we could all be won back, demonstrating the evidence at the right time.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲡⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ
7 I was appointed to share this message and be its messenger, a teacher to the foreigners about trusting God and the truth (I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth!)
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲧ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲕⲏⲣⲩⲝ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ. ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲧⲉϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ϯϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ. ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ·
8 What I really want is for men everywhere to pray sincerely to God. No anger or arguments!
ⲏ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϣⲗⲏⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲙⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲩϥⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϭⲓϫ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲭⲱⲣⲓⲥ ⲟⲣⲅⲏ ϩⲓⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ·
9 In the same way, women should dress sensibly, modestly, and appropriately. They should be attractive not in their hairstyle or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
ⲑ̅ⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲕⲟⲥⲙⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥϭⲣⲉϩⲧ̅. ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲓⲡⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲧⲥⲁⲛⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲱⲗⲕ̅ ⲁⲛ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲃ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲓ̈ⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲉⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩ.
10 but by the good things they do—as is appropriate for women who claim to follow God.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ
11 Women should learn quietly, respecting their place.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥϫⲓⲥⲃⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲁϣ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲅⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ.
12 I don't allow women to be instructors, or to dominate men; let them remain quiet.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ϯϯⲙⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉϯⲥⲃⲱ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲣ̅ϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ̈. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲁϣ·
13 For Adam was made first, and then Eve.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲇⲁⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲗⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ ⲉⲩϩⲁ.
14 Adam wasn't deceived, but Eve was completely deceived, and she fell into sin.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲇⲁⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁⲡⲁⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲁⲡⲁⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ.
15 However, women will be saved through becoming mothers, as long as they continue to trust and love, and to live holy, sensible lives.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲥⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϫⲡⲉϣⲏⲣⲉ. ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛϭⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ·
