2 Timoti 2
1 Ka ca, nanga phäha Khritaw Jesuh am mi yümatnaka kyaki bäkhäknak üng ngkhängpanga.
You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Saksi khawhah maa ka pyena mtheimthangnak, na ngjaka mtheimthangnak he cän la lü khyang akce pi jah mthei be thei khaia khyange am jah ap siha.
The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
3 Khritaw Jesuha sitihkia yekapa kba khuikhanak cän khameia.
You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 Yekap cun naw ani mtheh lü ngthupeki angvai a jesak vaia akce bilawhnak üng kcaw lü i pi am bi khawi.
No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
5 Ngcamei lü dawngkia khyang naw pi mcuhmthenake am a jah läk üngta ngkhyengnak cun am yah khai ni.
Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
6 Ngnüngseng lü lai biki naw akcüka a ah cun taeiki ni.
The farmer who labors must be the first to get a share of the crops.
7 I ka pyen ti hin ngaia, ahin avan na ksingnak vaia Bawipa naw khyaih khawhki ni.
Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
8 Thangkdaw sang lü ka jah mtheia kba Davita mjüa kyaki thihnak üngkhyüh tho beki Jesuh Khritaw cän süma.
Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the offspring of David, according to my Good News,
9 Isetiakyaküng, Thankdaw ka sanga phäha mpyukeia mäiha khunnak khamei lü ka khuikhaki ni. Lüpi Pamhnama ngthu cun khunnak am khamei thei,
in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word is not chained.
10 acunakyase, angläta hlüngtainak law lü Khritaw Jesuh üngkhyüh lawkia küikyannak ami yah vaia phäha, anaküt hin Pamhnama xü khyangea phäha ka khamei ni. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones' sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with consummate (aiōnios g166) glory.
11 Ahin cun akcanga pyen ni: “Ani am mi thih üngta, ani üng mi xüng khai.
This saying is trustworthy: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
12 Msu lü mi khamei üngta, ani am mi up hnga khai. Ani mi ma üngta, ani naw pi jah ma hnga khai.
If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
13 Am mi sitih üngpi, ani cun sitih nglätki, isetiakyaküng amät naw amät am hmakatsak thei.”
If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he cannot deny himself.”
14 Ahina mcuhmthehnak hin na khyange am jah sümsak lü ngcuhngkaihnak vaia khyübe käh ami pawh vaia, Pamhnama maa jah mcäi kawm pi. Ahine naw am jah dawsak lü cungaikie jah pyaksaki ni.
Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord that they do not argue about words to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
15 Pamhnama ngthungtaka mawng cangkia jah mthei lü, khut biki naw a khut käh ngkeei lü, a pawha kba Pamhnama hmaia ümpanak na yah vaia na khyaih khawha pawha.
Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
16 Pamhnam üngkhyüh jah thuksaki, khawmdek üng sängei lü am danga ngthähnake üngka naw akthuka vea.
But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,
17 Acunea mtheimthangnak hin naw mi pumsa jah eiawki mnehmnanga mäi ni a law ve. Himenias ja Philetuh xawi naw ahi bang jah mtheiki xawi ni.
and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:
18 Ani xawi naw ngthungtaka suilam hawih ni lü mi thawhnak be cun ve pängki ti lü jumeikie avanga jumeinak cun jah uplatsaki xawi ni.
men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
19 Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw a taka ngkhängkia tüneinak lung cun am ngsünngkyet; hina ngthue cun acuna khana, “Bawipa naw a kae cun jah ksingki” cunkäna “Bawipa ka kanaki tikia khyang cun am dawki bilawhnak üngkhyüh nglat yah khai,” tia ng’yuki.
However, God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”
20 Imnua k'uma kbee ja k’ame amjü küm veki: avang cun ngui ja xüi am ami jah pyan, akcee cun thing ja mdek am ami jah pyan, avang cun pawipyang üng jah sumei lü avang cun ami jah sumei sawxat ni.
Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor and some for dishonor.
21 Akse üngkhyüh amimät ngcimsaki cun adawnaka hnün üng sumei khaie, isetiakyaküng, ami mahpa naw akdaw jah pawhnak vaia jah sumei lü ami ngapei vaia ngsäm yah khaie ni.
If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.
22 Cawngpyanga hlükaweinak cän hawih lü ngsungpyunnak, jumeinak, mhläkphyanak ja dim’yenak, mlungkyawng ngcimki he am atänga Bawipaa kpüinak yah vaia ngkhüngkonake cän jah mtuneia.
Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 Ngtunngvawknak üng jah kphakia amdang ngcuhngkaihnak ja am ngtähngkehkia ngkaw üngkhyüh akthuka vea.
But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
24 Bawipaa mpyaa na kyaka mäiha nang naw ngtunngvawknak am pawh yahki. Nang cun khyang daw ja a mlungmsaüki sajaa kba khyang naküta vei na daw yah khai.
The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,
25 Nang cun ning ngcam püiki na mtheh üng na hniphnawi yah khai, ahin cun Pamhnama hlüeia kya lü ami cun ngjut be lü ngthungtak cun ksing law khai ni.
in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
26 Khawyai naw ani kcangnak khaia a jah pinmane cun lätlang law u lü akdawkyaa ksing law khaie ni.
and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
