1 Timothy 4
1 Te dongah hmailong tue ah hlangvang loh tangnah te a nong tak ni tila Mueihla loh phaeng a thui coeng. Te vaengah laithaelaidang mueihla neh rhaithae kah thuituennah te a ngaithuen uh ni.
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 A mingcimnah te laithae kah thailatnah neh a kolh uh coeng.
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Yuloh vasak ham a paa sak tih uepom rhoek neh oltkak aka ming rhoek loh uemonah neh a doe ham Pathen loh a suen cakok te a rhael sak.
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which YHWH hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 Pathen kah kutngo tah boeih then tih hnawt ham moenih uemonah neh doe ham ni.
For every creature of YHWH is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 Pathen kah olka neh rhikhangnah loh a ciim coeng.
For it is sanctified by the word of YHWH and prayer.
6 He he manuca rhoek taengah a then la na tloeng pah atah Khrih Jesuh kah tueihyoeih la na om ni. Tangnah olka neh n'hlinsai tih thuituennah then te na thuep coeng.
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Yahushua the Messiah, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
7 Tedae a rhonging neh yancil a rhuem hnawt lamtah hingcimnah ham namah hlinsai uh.
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto righteousness.
8 Pumrho hlinsainah tah hoeikhang la bet akhaw om. Tedae hingcimnah tah tahae kah hingnah neh hmailong kah olkhueh aka om boeih ham hoeikhang la om.
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but reverence is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
9 Olka tah uepom neh hlang boeih kah a doe ham tueng.
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
10 He ham kongah n'thakthae uh tih n'thingthuel uh cakhaw aka hing Pathen ni n'ngaiuep uh. Amah tah hlang boeih neh olpuei la uepom rhoek kah khangkung la om.
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living Elohim, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
11 He rhoek he uen lamtah thuituen.
These things command and teach.
12 Na camoe te han hnaep boel saeh, tedae olka dongah, omih dongah, lungnah dongah, tangnah dongah, cilpoenah dongah, uepom rhoek ham mueimae la om lah.
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Ka pawk hil olcim taenah, thaphohnah, thuituennah te ngaithuen uh.
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Nang dongah kutdoe te sawtrhoel boeh. Te tah tonghma ol lamloh kangham rhoek kah kut tloengnah nen ni nang m'paek.
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
15 He he na mangtuk tih a khuiah na om daengah ni na rhoengcawtnah loh hlang boeih taengah mingpha la a om eh.
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
16 Namah te laehdawn uh lamtah thuituennah te oei lah. He tla saii daengah ni namah khaw, nang aka hnatung rhoek khaw na khang eh.
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
