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

¹Kwanza kabisa, basi naomba dua, sala, maombi na sala za shukrani zitolewe kwa Mungu kwa ajili ya watu wote,

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

²kwa ajili ya wafalme na wote wenye mamlaka, ili tupate kuishi maisha ya utulivu na amani pamoja na uchaji wa Mungu na mwenendo mwema.

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

³Jambo hili ni jema na lampendeza Mungu Mwokozi wetu,

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

⁴ambaye anataka watu wote waokolewe na wapate kuujua ukweli.

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

⁵Maana yuko Mungu mmoja, na pia yuko mmoja anayewapatanisha watu na Mungu, binadamu Kristo Yesu,

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

⁶ambaye alijitoa mwenyewe kuwakomboa watu wote. Huo ulikuwa uthibitisho, wakati ufaao ulipowadia.

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.

⁷Kwa sababu hiyo mimi nilitumwa niwe mtume na mwalimu wa watu wa mataifa, niutangaze ujumbe wa imani na ukweli. Nasema ukweli; sisemi uongo!

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

⁸Basi, popote mnapokutana kufanya ibada nataka wanaume wasali, watu waliojitolea kweli na ambao wanaweza kuinua mikono yao wakisali bila hasira wala ubishi.

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;

⁹Hali kadhalika, nawataka wanawake wawe wanyofu na wenye busara kuhusu mavazi yao; wavae sawasawa na si kwa urembo wa mitindo ya kusuka nywele, kujipamba kwa dhahabu, lulu au mavazi ya gharama kubwa,

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

¹⁰bali kwa matendo mema kama iwapasavyo wanawake wamchao Mungu.

¹¹Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

¹¹Wanawake wanapaswa kukaa kimya na kuwa wanyenyekevu wakati wa kujifunza.

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

¹²Mimi simruhusu mwanamke amfundishe au amtawale mwanamume; anapaswa kukaa kimya.

¹³For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

¹³Maana Adamu aliumbwa kwanza, halafu Hawa.

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

¹⁴Na wala si Adamu aliyedanganywa; bali mwanamke ndiye aliyedanganywa, akaivunja sheria ya Mungu.

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

¹⁵Hata hivyo, mwanamke ataokolewa kwa kupata watoto, kama akidumu katika imani, upendo, utakatifu na unyofu.
