Prva poslanica Timoteju 2

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Dakle, preporučujem prije svega da se obavljaju prošnje, molitve, molbenice i zahvalnice za sve ljude,	1 First of all, then, I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone,
2 za kraljeve i sve koji su na vlasti, da provodimo miran i spokojan život u svoj bogoljubnosti i ozbiljnosti.	2 for kings and for all in authority, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity.
3 To je dobro i ugodno pred Spasiteljem našim Bogom,	3 This is good and pleasing to God our savior,
4 koji hoće da se svi ljudi spase i dođu do spoznanja istine.	4 who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth.
5 Jer jedan je Bog, jedan je i posrednik između Boga i ljudi, čovjek – Krist Isus,	5 For there is one God. There is also one mediator between God and the human race, Christ Jesus, himself human,
6 koji sebe samoga dade kao otkup za sve. To je u svoje vrijeme dano svjedočanstvo,	6 who gave himself as ransom for all. This was the testimony at the proper time.
7 za koje sam ja postavljen propovjednikom i apostolom – istinu govorim, ne lažem – učiteljem narodâ u vjeri i istini.	7 For this I was appointed preacher and apostle (I am speaking the truth, I am not lying), teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 Hoću dakle da muškarci mole na svakome mjestu, podižući čiste ruke bez srdžbe i raspre;	8 It is my wish, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument.
9 isto tako žene – u doličnu držanju: neka se rese stidljivošću i razborom, ne pletenicama i zlatom ili biserjem ili skupocjenim odijelom,	9 Similarly, (too,) women should adorn themselves with proper conduct, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hairstyles and gold ornaments, or pearls, or expensive clothes,
10 nego – dobrim djelima, kako dolikuje ženama koje ispovijedaju bogoljubnost.	10 but rather, as befits women who profess reverence for God, with good deeds.
11 Žena neka u miru prima pouku sa svom podložnošću.	11 A woman must receive instruction silently and under complete control.
12 Poučavati pak ženi ne dopuštam, ni vladati nad mužem, nego – neka bude na miru.	12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. She must be quiet.
13 Jer prvi je oblikovan Adam, onda Eva;	13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 i Adam nije zaveden, a žena je zavedena, učinila prekršaj.	14 Further, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed.
15 A spasit će se rađanjem djece ako ustraje u vjeri, ljubavi i posvećivanju, s razborom.	15 But she will be saved through motherhood, provided women persevere in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
