1 Timote 1

1 Aicae pahlongkung Sithaw hoi aicae oephaih Angraeng Jesu Kri ih lok taphonghaih rang hoiah Jesu Kri mah patoeh ih kami maeto ah kaom Pawl mah,

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Christ Jesus our hope;

2 tanghaih bangah ka capa tangtang, Timote khaeah, aicae ampa Sithaw hoi aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri khae hoi ih tahmenhaih, palungnathaih hoi monghaih om nasoe, tiah ca tarik.

to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 Macedonia prae ah ka caeh naah, Efisa vangpui ah na oh poe han kang pacae baktih toengah, thoemto kaminawk mah patukhaih kalah patuk o han ai ah thui paeh,

As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain people not to teach a different doctrine,

4 Sithaw tanghaih bangah hmacawnhaih om ai lok angaekhaih tacawtsak, ruici rumram hoi parui laek thai ai acaeng anghumhaih kawng paruihaihnawk to sak o han ai ah acoehaih na paek han oh.

neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause speculation, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith—

5 Poekciimhaih hoiah kangzo amlunghaih, kasae kahoih panoekhaih kahoih hoi loktang tanghaih loe kaalok atimhaih takung pui ah oh:

but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith;

6 thoemto kaminawk mah katoeng ai loklam to pazui o pongah, avang ai lokthuihaih bangah angqoi o ving;

from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;

7 nihcae loe a thuih o ih lokhlong to panoek o ai, kawbaktih tanghaih bangah maw kacakah angdoet o, tiah panoekhaih tawn o ai to mah kaalok patukkung ah oh han a koeh o.

desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.

8 Kami mah kamsoem ah patoh nahaeloe, kaalok loe hoih, tito a panoek o;

But we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully,

9 kaalok loe katoeng kaminawk hanah sah ai, kaalok katawn ai, kaalok pazui ai kami, Sithaw tang ai kami, kazae kami, ciimcai ai kami, amhnong kami, ampa hum kami, amno hum kami hoi kami hum kaminawk han ih ni sak, tito panoek o nasoe,

as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers,

10 nongpa nongpata zaehaih sah kaminawk, nongpa hoi nongpa zae kaminawk, kamqunawk, lokamlai kaminawk, amsawnlok thui kaminawk, kaciim patukhaih loklam hoi amkhraeng kalah hmuennawk boih;

for the sexually immoral, for men who have sexual relations with men, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to sound teaching;

11 tahamhoih Sithaw ih kalen sawk tamthanglok baktih toengah to kahoih tamthanglok loe kai khaeah paek boeh.

according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

12 Kai hae oepthok kami ni, tiah a poek pongah, Anih mah toksahkung ah ang suek moe, kai khaeah sakthaihaih to ang paek, to pongah aicae Angraeng Kri Jesu khaeah kawnhaih lok ka thuih;

And I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;

13 kai loe canghniah Sithaw kasaethui kami hoi kricaa pacaekthlaek kami, minawk nganbawh kana paek kami ah ka oh: toe ka panoek ai moe, tanghaih tawn ai hoiah ka sak pongah, Sithaw palungnathaih to ka hnuk.

although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14 Aicae Angraeng tahmenhaih loe kawkruk maw len! Kri Jesu ah kaom tanghaih hoi amlunghaih to ka nuiah oh.

The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

15 Kri Jesu loe kami zaenawk pahlong hanah hae long nuiah angzoh, tiah thuih ih lok loe oep kaom lok ah oh moe, tapom han krak; kai loe kami zaenawk thungah kalen koekah ka oh.

The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

16 Toe dungzan hinghaih to hnuk moe, anih tang han kaom kaminawk mah khet koi kaom maeto ah oh thai hanah, Jesu Kri mah patangkhanghaih boih kai khaeah amtuengsak hmaloe pongah ni, anih palungnathaih to ka hnuk. (aiōnios g166)

However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

17 Pakoehhaih hoi lensawkhaih loe dungzan Siangpahrang, kamro thai ai, hnu thai ai ah kaom, palunghahaih Sithaw khae khue ah, dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to om nasoe. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 Ka capa Timote, canghni ah nang ih akawng thuihcoek ih lok baktih toengah, to tiah thuihcoek ih lok hoiah kahoih misa na tuk hanah lok kang thuih;

This instruction I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;

19 tanghaih hoi kasae kahoih mathaih to kacakah patawn ah; thoemto kaminawk mah to tanghaih to vah o ving pongah, kamro palong baktiah amro o boeh:

holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith;

20 to kaminawk thungah Himinia hoi Alexandar athum hoi; Sithaw kasaethuih loe hoih ai, tito nihnik mah panoek hoi thai hanah, nihnik to Setan ban ah ka paek boeh.

of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
