1 Timote 2
1First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,
1KO 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;
2for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.
2Koeʻuhi 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.
3This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
3He ko e meʻa lelei eni, pea ʻaonga ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ko hotau Fakamoʻui;
4who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
4ʻAia ʻoku finangalo ke fakamoʻui ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea ke lavaʻi ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻoe moʻoni.
5For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
5He ʻoku taha pe ʻae ʻOtua mo e fakalaloa pe taha ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ʻOtua mo e kakai, ko e tangata ko Kalaisi Sisu;
6who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
6ʻAia naʻa ne foaki ʻe ia ia ko e totongi huhuʻi mā ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻe fakamoʻoni ʻi hono kuonga totonu.
7For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
7ʻAia 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.
8I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;
8Ko ia ko hoku loto ke lotu ʻae kakai ʻi he potu kotoa pē, ʻo mafao atu ʻae nima māʻoniʻoni, ʻo taʻeʻita mo taʻefakataʻetaʻetui.
9likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire,
9Pea 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;
10but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.
10Ka ʻi he ngaahi ngaue lelei ʻaia ʻoku tau mo e kau fefine ʻoku nau fakahā ko e kau lotu ʻakinautolu ki he ʻOtua.
11Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness.
11Ke tali ʻe he kau fefine ʻae akonaki ʻi he fakalongo pē mo e angavaivai kotoa pē.
12I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.
12He ʻoku ʻikai te u tuku ʻae fefine ke akonaki, pe ke faʻao ʻae pule ʻae tangata, ka ke fakalongo pe.
13For Adam was formed first, then Eve;
13He naʻe fuofua ngaohi ʻa ʻAtama, kae ʻi mui ʻa ʻIvi.
14and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
14Pea naʻe ʻikai kākāʻia ʻa ʻAtama, ka ko e fefine naʻe kākāʻia pea tō ia ki he talangataʻa.
15Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
15Ka 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.
