¹I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings 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 all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.

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 Savior;

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

⁴who desires all people to be saved and come to full 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 as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;

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

⁷to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

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 desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

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

⁹In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing;

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 becomes women professing godliness) with good works.

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

¹¹Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

¹¹Aoka ny vehivavy hianatra mangingina ka hanaiky tsara.

¹²But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.

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.

¹⁴Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;

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.

¹⁵but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification 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.
