1 Timoti 4
1 Ngmüimkhya naw angsinga a pyen ta law khaia kcüne üng khyang avange naw jumnak hawih u lü ngmüimkhya k’hleie jah kcang na u lü khawyaiea mtheimthange cun läklam law khaie ni.
But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
2 Hleihlakiea tuivetnak am ahina ngtheinak cun ngthang hüki, ami ksingkhyapnake thi lü mthi ngling naw jah uiawngki.
through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron,
3 Acuna khyange naw akhyesawh calaknak ja eiawk avang käh ei vaia jah mtheikie. Jenak mtheh lü ktaiyü käna ei vaia Pamhnam naw acuna eiawk cun a mhnünmceng ni, acun hin ngthungtak ksing lawki he ja jumeikiea phäh ni.
forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4 Pamhnama mhnünmceng naküt hin dawkia kyase mah vai i am ve, lüpi jenak mtheh lü ktaiyünak am dokham vai ni,
For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.
5 isetiakyaküng Pamhnama ngthu ja ktaiyünak cun Pamhnam naw dokhameiki ni.
For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
6 Namät naw ngmüimkhya lama jumeinak ngthu eiaw lü cangkia ngtheinak na läklam pänga kba, ahina mcuhmthehnake jumeikie üng na jah pet üng nang cun Khritaw Jesuha mpya kdawa na kya khai.
If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
7 Pyensaka am dawki he, khuikame üngkhyüh akthuka vea. Pamhnam ksingnaka kcünsak üng na mät ngtuinglenga.
But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself towards godliness.
8 Pumsa thületnak cun dawki ni; acun sepi, Ngmüimkhya lama thületnak hin anaküt üng daw bawki ni, isetikyaküng, ahin cun naw malam ja atuha kcün sak xawia phäh khyütam jah peki ni.
For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now and of that which is to come.
9 Ahin cun cangkia pyensaka kya lü jumei lü dokham vai kunga kyaki.
This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
10 Bawngkha lü mi khüiki, isetiakyaküng, aktunga ani jumei lü avana küikyan Bawia kya lü xüngseiki Pamhnama vei mi äpeinak mi taki.
For to this end we both labour and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of those who believe.
11 Ahina mcuhmthehnake ja ngtheinake cän jah pea.
Command and teach these things.
12 Na dik hama phäh u naw pi käh ning mdihmsui se. Na pyensak, na vecawh, na mhläkphyanak, na jumeinak ja na ngcimcaihnake cun jumeikie naw a ning hjutuih vaia thawna.
Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.
13 Ka law vei cäpa, khyangea veia Cangcim khehnak, ngthu sangnak ja mtheinak üng na kcün pe lü biloa.
Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
14 Na khana sahmae naw pyen u lü ngvaie naw ami kut mtaih üng Ngmüimkhyaa ning peta bänak cän am hnaläüei lü käh ve bä.
Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
15 Khyang avan naw na dämduh a ning hmuh vai ua, ahine cän jah ktha na lü ngapei kawm pi.
Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
16 Namät pi mcei lü na jah mtheinak pi mcei bä. Ahine cun msu lü pawh bä, isetiakyaküng, ahine na pawh ta ning ngjakie ja namät kung pi ning jah küikyan khai ni.
Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
