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 a command of God our Saviour, and of 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 Timotheus — genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, 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.
according as I did exhort thee to remain in Ephesus — I going on to Macedonia — that thou mightest charge certain not to teach any other thing,
4 Te rhoek te tangnah dongah Pathen kah hnokhoemnah lakah olpungnah la lat a coeng sak.
nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: —
5 Tedae oluen dongkah a cuinah tah thinko a caih lamkah lungnah, aka then mingcimnah neh hmantang kah tangnah te ni.
And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned,
6 He lamkah hlangvang tah hlihloeh tih olhongpaika la mael uh.
from which certain, having swerved, did turn aside to vain discourse,
7 Saya la om ham a ngaih uh. Tedae a thui te khaw yakming uh pawt tih ba khaw a cak sak uh moenih.
willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they asseverate,
8 Tedae khat khat long ni a longim la a rhoidoeng atah olkhueng tah then tila m'ming uh.
and we have known that the law [is] good, if any one may use 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,
having known this, that for a righteous man law is not set, but for lawless and insubordinate persons, ungodly and sinners, impious and profane, parricides and matricides, men-slayers,
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.
whoremongers, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that to sound doctrine is adverse,
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, with which I was entrusted.
12 Kai aka thaphoh mamih kah Khrih Jesuh Boeipa taengah uemonah ka khueh. Kai he uepom la m'poek dongah bibi la ng'khueh.
And I give thanks to him who enabled me — Christ Jesus our Lord — that he did reckon me stedfast, having put [me] to the ministration,
13 Lamhma la ska soehsal tih aka hnaemtaekkung neh hnaephnapkung la ka om. Tedae hnalvalnah dongah mangvawt la ka saii oeh dongah n'rhen.
who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did [it] in unbelief,
14 Mamih Boeipa kah lungvatnah tah Khrih Jesuh ah tangnah, lungnah neh pawk long.
and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that [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.
stedfast [is] the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners — first of whom I am;
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)
but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during: (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)
and to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, [is] honour and glory — to the ages of the ages! 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.
This charge I commit to thee, child Timotheus, according to the prophesies that went before upon thee, that thou mayest war in them 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.
having faith and a good conscience, which certain having thrust away, concerning the faith did make shipwreck,
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 did deliver to the Adversary, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.
