1 Timóteo 2

1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time, 7 to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8 I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting. 9 In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not*2:9 The word for "not" is the negative particle "μη" which denies an expected idea, as opposed to the usual word for "not" (ου) which denies a fact. Thus "μη" in this context is denying an expected idea (that women can be properly dressed without good works). with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing, 10 but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness. 11 Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission. 12 But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience; 15 but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.

Te Karakia a te Hāhi

1 Nā, ko tāku whakahau tēnei i te tuatahi o ngā mea katoa, kia puta ngā īnoi, ngā karakia, ngā īnoi wawao, ngā whakawhetai, mō ngā tāngata katoa; 2 mō ngā kīngi, mō te hunga whai mana katoa hoki; kia āta noho mārie ai tātou i runga i ngā whakaaro karakia, i ngā tikanga mahara katoa. 3 He mea pai tēnei, he mea e manakohia ana i te aroaro o te Atua, o tō tātou Kaiwhakaora; 4 ko tāna nei e pai ai ko ngā tāngata katoa kia ora, kia haere mai hoki ki te mātauranga ki te pono. 5 Kotahi tonu te Atua, kotahi te takawaenga o te Atua, o ngā tāngata, ko ia anō he tangata, arā ko Karaiti Īhu; 6 i hoatu nei i a ia hei utu mō te katoa; he mea kia whakaaturia i ōna wā ake. 7 Ā, meinga ana ahau hei karere, hei āpōtoro mō taua mea; he pono tāku kōrero i roto i a te Karaiti, kāhore āku teka; hei kaiwhakaako mō ngā tauiwi i runga i te whakapono, i te pono.

8 Nā, ko tāku e pai ai, ko ngā tāne kia īnoi i ngā wāhi katoa, kia tapu ngā ringa ina ara, kaua he riri, he tautohetohe.

9 Ko ngā wāhine hoki kia mau i te kākahu ātaahua, kia tū whakamā, kia whai whakaaro; kauaka te makawe whiri, te kōura, te peara, te kākahu utu nui, 10 engari, ko te mea e tau ana mō ngā wāhine e whakaae ana ki te karakia, arā, ko ngā mahi pai.

11 Me ako mārie te wahine kia nui te ngohengohe. 12 E kore hoki e tukua e ahau te wahine kia whakaako, kia neke ake rānei tāna tikanga i tā te tāne, engari, me āta noho. 13 Ko Ārama hoki kua hangā i mua, muri iho ko Iwi. 14 Ā, kīhai a Ārama i tinihangatia, ko te wahine ia i tinihangatia, ā, taka ana ki te hē. 15 Otirā, ka ora ia i te whānautanga tamariki, ki te mau tonu tō rātou whakapono, aroha, tapu, whakaaro.
