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.
But the Spirit expressly says, that in future times some will apostatize from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits, and to doctrines concerning demons;
2 A mingcimnah te laithae kah thailatnah neh a kolh uh coeng.
through the hypocrisy of liars, who are seared in their own conscience;
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.
who forbid to marry, and command to abstain from meats, which God has created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, who thoroughly know the truth; --
4 Pathen kah kutngo tah boeih then tih hnawt ham moenih uemonah neh doe ham ni.
that every creature of God is good, being received with thanksgiving, and nothing is to be rejected;
5 Pathen kah olka neh rhikhangnah loh a ciim coeng.
for it is sanctified, by the word of God, and by 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.
Laying these things before the brethren, you will be a good servant of Jesus Christ, nourished by the words of the faith, and of good doctrine, to the knowledge of which you have attained.
7 Tedae a rhonging neh yancil a rhuem hnawt lamtah hingcimnah ham namah hlinsai uh.
But reject profane and old wives' fables, and exercise yourself to godliness:
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.
ford bodily exercise is profitable for little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having the promise of the present life, and of that to come.
9 Olka tah uepom neh hlang boeih kah a doe ham tueng.
This saying is true, and worthy of all reception.
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.
Besides, for this we both labor, and suffer reproach, -- because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of believers.
11 He rhoek he uen lamtah thuituen.
Those things give in charge, 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 one despise your youth; but be a pattern to the believers in speech, in behavior, in love, in faith, in chastity.
13 Ka pawk hil olcim taenah, thaphohnah, thuituennah te ngaithuen uh.
Till I come, apply yourself to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
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 spiritual gift which is in you, which was given you through prophecy, with the imposition of the hands of the eldership.
15 He he na mangtuk tih a khuiah na om daengah ni na rhoengcawtnah loh hlang boeih taengah mingpha la a om eh.
Make these things your care. Be wholly employed in them, that your proficiency might be evident 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 to yourself, and to your doctrine; continue in them; for in doing this, you will both save yourself, and them who hear you.
