I Timothy 2

2:1

Na, ko taku whakahau tenei i te tuatahi o nga mea katoa, kia puta nga inoi, nga karakia, nga inoi wawao, nga whakawhetai, mo nga tangata katoa;

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2:2

Mo nga kingi, mo te hunga whai mana katoa hoki: kia ata noho marie ai tatou i runga i nga whakaaro karakia, i nga tikanga mahara katoa.

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

2:3

He mea pai tenei, he mea e manakohia ana i te aroaro o te Atua, o to tatou Kaiwhakaora;

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

2:4

Ko tana nei e pai ai ko nga tangata katoa kia ora, kia haere mai hoki ki te matauranga ki te pono.

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

2:5

Kotahi tonu te Atua, kotahi te takawaenga o te Atua, o nga tangata, ko ia ano he tangata, ara ko Karaiti Ihu;

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

2:6

I hoatu nei i a ia hei utu mo te katoa; he mea kia whakaaturia i ona wa ake;

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

2:7

A meinga ana ahau hei karere, hei apotoro mo taua mea; he pono taku korero i roto i a te Karaiti, kahore aku teka; hei kaiwhakaako mo nga tauiwi i runga i te whakapono, i te pono.

Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

2:8

Na, ko taku e pai ai, ko nga tane kia inoi i nga wahi katoa, kia tapu nga ringa ina ara, kaua he riri, he tautohetohe.

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

2:9

Ko nga wahine hoki kia mau i te kakahu ataahua, kia tu whakama, kia whai whakaaro; kauaka te makawe whiri, te koura, te peara, te kakahu utu nui;

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
