¹I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

¹[Ny amin'ny fivavahana ho an'ny olona rehetra, ary ny fitondran-tena sy ny fitafiana miendrika ny vehivavy Kristiana] Koa mananatra voalohany indrindra aho mba hatao izay fangatahana, fivavahana, fifonana, fisaorana, ho an'ny olona rehetra,

²For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

²ho an'ny mpanjaka mbamin'izay rehetra manana fahefana, mba hiainantsika miadana sy mandry fahizay amin'ny toe-panahy araka an'Andriamanitra sy ny fahamaotinana rehetra.

³For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

³Izany no tsara ka ankasitrahana eo imason'Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy antsika,

⁴Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

⁴Izay tia ny olona rehetra hovonjena ka ho tonga amin'ny fahalalana ny marina.

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

⁵Fa iray no Andriamanitra, ary iray no Mpanalalana amin'Andriamanitra sy ny olona, dia Kristy Jesosy, Izay olona,

⁶Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

⁶sady nanolotra ny tenany ho avotra hisolo ny olona rehetra, dia zavatra ho fitory amin'izao androny izao.

⁷Whereunto 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.

⁷Mba hanao izany no nanendrena ahy ho mpitory sy Apostoly (milaza ny marina aho, fa tsy mandainga), ho mpampianatra ny jentilisa amin'ny finoana sy ny fahamarinana.

⁸I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

⁸Koa tiako ny lehilahy hivavaka eny tontolo eny manandra-tanana masina, tsy amin'ny fahatezerana na amin'ny fifandirana.

⁹In 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;

⁹Ary toy izany koa ny vehivavy, hiravaka amin'ny fitafiana mahamendrika mbamin'ny fahamaotinana sy ny fahononan-tena, fa tsy amin'ny volo mirandrana sy ny volamena, na vato soa, na fitafiana saro-bidy, [ Gr. perila]

¹⁰But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

¹⁰fa amin'ny asa tsara, araka izay mahamendrika ny vehivavy manaiky ny fivavahana amin'Andriamanitra.

¹¹Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

¹¹Aoka ny vehivavy hianatra mangingina ka hanaiky tsara.

¹²But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

¹²Fa ny vehivavy tsy avelako hampianatra na hanapaka ny lehilahy, fa hangina ihany.

¹³For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

¹³Fa Adama no natao voalohany, vao Eva.

¹⁴And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

¹⁴Ary tsy Adama no voafitaka, fa ny vehivavy no voafitaka, ka dia tonga mpanota.Nefa hovonjena ihany izy amin'ny fiterahan-jaza, raha maharitra amin'ny finoana sy ny fitiavana ary ny fahamasinana mbamin'ny fahononan-tena.

¹⁵Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

¹⁵Nefa hovonjena ihany izy amin'ny fiterahan-jaza, raha maharitra amin'ny finoana sy ny fitiavana ary ny fahamasinana mbamin'ny fahononan-tena.
