1 Timothy 1
1 Mamih kah khangkung Pathen neh mamih kah ngaiuepnah Jesuh Khrih kah olpaek vanbangla Jesuh Khrih kah caeltueih Paul loh,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Saviour and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
2 tangnah dongah ka ca tak Timothy taengah kan pat. Pa Pathen neh mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih lamkah lungvatnah, rhennah, ngaimongnah om saeh.
to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Makedonia la ka caeh vaengah Ephisa ah aka om nang te kan uen. Te daengah ni khat khat loh a thuituen tholh pawt ham khaw, cil neh aka puh rhuirhong hnatung pawt ham na uen thai eh.
As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
4 Te rhoek te tangnah dongah Pathen kah hnokhoemnah lakah olpungnah la lat a coeng sak.
and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
5 Tedae oluen dongkah a cuinah tah thinko a caih lamkah lungnah, aka then mingcimnah neh hmantang kah tangnah te ni.
But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
6 He lamkah hlangvang tah hlihloeh tih olhongpaika la mael uh.
from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
7 Saya la om ham a ngaih uh. Tedae a thui te khaw yakming uh pawt tih ba khaw a cak sak uh moenih.
desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
8 Tedae khat khat long ni a longim la a rhoidoeng atah olkhueng tah then tila m'ming uh.
But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,
9 Aka dueng ham olkhueng he khueh pawh tila m'ming. Tedae lailak rhoek neh thinthah rhoek ham, baltalh rhoek neh hlangtholh rhoek, aka cimpawt rhoek neh aka rhonging rhoek, a napa aka ngawn neh a manu aka ngawn, hlang aka ngawn,
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 murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 Hlanghalh rhoek, uicuk rhoek, hlang aka yoi, laithae, aka basa neh aka soep thuituennah te a tloe la aka kingkalh boeih ham ni a om.
for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
11 Yoethen Pathen kah thangpomnah vanbangla tekah olthangthen te kai m'paek coeng.
according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
12 Kai aka thaphoh mamih kah Khrih Jesuh Boeipa taengah uemonah ka khueh. Kai he uepom la m'poek dongah bibi la ng'khueh.
I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
13 Lamhma la ska soehsal tih aka hnaemtaekkung neh hnaephnapkung la ka om. Tedae hnalvalnah dongah mangvawt la ka saii oeh dongah n'rhen.
although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14 Mamih Boeipa kah lungvatnah tah Khrih Jesuh ah tangnah, lungnah neh pawk long.
The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 Ol tah uepom neh hlang boeih kah a doe tueng la om. Te dongah ni Khrih Jesuh tah hlangtholh khang ham Diklai la ha pawk. Amih khuiah kai tah tanglue la ka om coeng.
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 Tedae he nen he n'rhen coeng. Te daengah ni Khrih Jesuh tah thinsennah boeih neh ka khuiah a tueng lamhma eh. Amah soah tangnah ham aka cai rhoek kah dungyan hingnah ham a ninglam pakhat la om sak ham ni. (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 eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Tahae ah kumhal kah Manghai, aka kuei, hmuhmueh Pathen bueng te hinyahnah neh thangpomnah kumhal kah kumhal duela om saeh. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honour and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 Camoe Timothy nang te he oluen he kan tloeng. Nang soah tonghma ol bangla ka lamhma sak coeng. Te daengah ni te nen te aka then vathohnah te na vathoh thai eh.
I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
19 Tangnah neh aka then mingcimnah te pom lah. Te te hlangvang loh a tueihno uh dongah tangnah sangpho a poci pauh.
holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
20 Amih khuiah Hymenaeus neh Alexander nuen rhoi van. Amih rhoi te Satan taengah ka voeih daengah ni ueih rhoi vetih a soehsal pawt eh.
of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
