1 Timothy 2

1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone—

1 Awali ya yote, nasihi kwamba dua, sala, maombezi na shukrani zifanyike kwa ajili ya watu wote:

2 for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.

2 kwa ajili ya wafalme na wale wote wenye mamlaka, ili tupate kuishi kwa amani na utulivu, katika uchaji wote wa Mungu na utakatifu.

3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

3 Jambo hili ni jema, tena linapendeza machoni pa Mungu Mwokozi wetu,

4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

4 anayetaka watu wote waokolewe na wafikie kuijua kweli.

5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

5 Kwa maana kuna Mungu mmoja na mpatanishi mmoja kati ya Mungu na wanadamu, yaani mwanadamu Kristo Yesu,

6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.

6 aliyejitoa mwenyewe kuwa fidia kwa ajili ya wanadamu wote: jambo hili lilishuhudiwa kwa wakati wake ufaao.

7 For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything.

7 Nami kwa kusudi hili nimewekwa niwe mhubiri na mtume (nasema kweli katika Kristo wala sisemi uongo), mwalimu wa watu wa Mataifa katika imani na kweli.

8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.

8 Nataka kila mahali wanaume wasali wakiinua mikono mitakatifu pasipo hasira wala kugombana.

9 Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,

9 Vivyo hivyo nataka wanawake wajipambe kwa adabu na kwa heshima katika mavazi yanayostahili, si kwa kusuka nywele, kuvalia dhahabu, lulu au mavazi ya gharama kubwa,

10 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.

10 bali kwa matendo mazuri kama iwapasavyo wanawake wanaokiri kuwa wanamcha Mungu.

11 A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.

11 Mwanamke na ajifunze kwa utulivu na kwa utiifu wote.

12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.

12 Simpi mwanamke ruhusa ya kufundisha au kuwa na mamlaka juu ya mwanaume. Mwanamke inampasa kukaa kimya.

13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.

13 Kwa maana Adamu aliumbwa kwanza, kisha Eva.

14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.

14 Wala si Adamu aliyedanganywa, bali ni mwanamke aliyedanganywa akawa mkosaji.

15 Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

15 Lakini mwanamke ataokolewa kwa kuzaa kwake, kama wakiendelea kudumu katika imani, upendo na utakatifu, pamoja na kuwa na kiasi.
