Prima lettera a Timoteo 2

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Obsecro igitur primo omnium fieri obsecrationes, orationes, postulationes, gratiarum actiones pro omnibus hominibus,	1 First of all, then, I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone,
2 pro regibus et omnibus, qui in sublimitate sunt, ut quietam et tranquillam vitam agamus in omni pietate et castitate.	2 for kings and for all in authority, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity.
3 Hoc bonum est et acceptum coram salvatore nostro Deo,	3 This is good and pleasing to God our savior,
4 qui omnes homines vult salvos fieri et ad agnitionem veritatis venire.	4 who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth.
5 Unus enim Deus, unus et mediator Dei et hominum, homo Christus Iesus,	5 For there is one God. There is also one mediator between God and the human race, Christ Jesus, himself human,
6 qui dedit redemptionem semetipsum pro omnibus, testimonium temporibus suis;	6 who gave himself as ransom for all. This was the testimony at the proper time.
7 in quod positus sum ego praedicator et apostolus — veritatem dico, non mentior — doctor gentium in fide et veritate.	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 Volo ergo viros orare in omni loco levantes puras manus sine ira et disceptatione;	8 It is my wish, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument.
9 similiter et mulieres in habitu ornato cum verecundia et sobrietate ornantes se, non in tortis crinibus et auro aut margaritis vel veste pretiosa,	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 sed, quod decet mulieres, profitentes pietatem per opera bona.	10 but rather, as befits women who profess reverence for God, with good deeds.
11 Mulier in tranquillitate discat cum omni subiectione;	11 A woman must receive instruction silently and under complete control.
12 docere autem mulieri non permitto neque dominari in virum, sed esse in tranquillitate.	12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. She must be quiet.
13 Adam enim primus formatus est, deinde Eva;	13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 et Adam non est seductus, mulier autem seducta in praevaricatione fuit.	14 Further, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed.
15 Salvabitur autem per filiorum generationem, si permanserint in fide et dilectione et sanctificatione cum sobrietate.	15 But she will be saved through motherhood, provided women persevere in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
