¹I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men:

¹Huchiin, a masapen in, thilnget thumnate, thumna himhimte, thumsaknate, kipahthu genna te, mi tengteng ading a bawl sak dingin ka hon hasuan hi;

²for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.

²Kumpipate leh thuneite tengteng ading inleng; Pathian limsak leh zahtakhuai taka kituaka khamuang a I om theihna dingin.

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

³Huaituh I Hondampa Pathian theih in a hoih in, a kipahhuai hi;

⁴who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.

⁴Aman tuh mi tengteng hotdama om ding leh thutak thei dingin a deih hi.

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

⁵Pathian khat kia a om, Pathian leh mihing kikal ah Palai khat kia a om nawn,

⁶who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;

⁶Amah tuh mihing ahi, Khris Jesu, mi tengteng tatna dia kipiapen; huai heihpihna tuh a huntaka piak ahi.

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.

⁷Hiai hihding a tangkoupihpa ding leh sawltaka seh ka hi (thu taktak ka gen, ka juai kei); ginna leh thutak a Jentelte hilhpa a seh ka hi.

⁸I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

⁸Huchiin, pasalten mun chiha khut siangthou jakin, thangpailou leh kisellouin thum le uh ka deih ahi.

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;

⁹Tua bangmah in numeite zumthei leh omdan siamin puansilh kilawm lelin kivan le uh; sam phek hiam, dangkaeng hiam, tuikepsuang hiam, puan mantam taktak khawng a kivan louin:

¹⁰but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.

¹⁰Ahihhangin numei Pathian limsak kichite a kihun lelin thil hih hoihin kivan le uh, ka deih hi.

¹¹Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

¹¹Numei in thumang hiathiatin om dinden in zil hen.

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

¹²Ahihhangin, numeiin thu a hilh jaw ka phal kei, pasal tunga thuneih leng ka phal sam kei, dai dindenin om jaw hen.

¹³For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

¹³Adam tuh siam masak ahi a, huai nungin Evi siam ahi ngala.

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

¹⁴Huan, Adam tuh khemin a om keia, numei bel khemin a om a, tatlekna ah a pukta hi.Himahleh, omdan siamna toh ginna leh itna leh siangthounaa a om gige leh, numei tuh nau a pianna jiakin hotdamin a om ding hi.

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

¹⁵Himahleh, omdan siamna toh ginna leh itna leh siangthounaa a om gige leh, numei tuh nau a pianna jiakin hotdamin a om ding hi.
