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,

¹I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:

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.

²for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,

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

³for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Saviour,

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

⁴who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;

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

⁵for one [is] God, one also [is] mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,

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

⁶who did give himself a ransom for all — the testimony in its own times —

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.

⁷in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle — truth I say in Christ, I do not lie — a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.

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

⁸I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;

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]

⁹in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price,

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

¹⁰but — which becometh women professing godly piety — through good works.

¹¹Aoka ny vehivavy hianatra mangingina ka hanaiky tsara.

¹¹Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,

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

¹²and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,

¹³Fa Adama no natao voalohany, vao Eva.

¹³for Adam was first formed, then Eve,

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.

¹⁴and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,

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

¹⁵and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
