2 Timothy 1
1 Jesuh Khrih ah hingnah olkhueh vanbangla Pathen kah kongaih neh Jesuh Khrih kah caeltueih kai Paul loh ka ca thintlo Timothy taengah kan yaak sak.
To Timothy, my dear Child, from Paul who, by the will of God, is an Apostle of Christ Jesus, charged to proclaim the Life that comes from union with Christ Jesus.
2 A pa Pathen neh mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah lungvatnah, rhennah, ngaimongnah om saeh.
May God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.
3 Pathen taengah lungvatnah ka khueh. Amahte manu napa lamloh mingcimnah neh a caih la ka bawk. Nang ham poekkoepnah te khoyin khothaih kamah kah rhenbihnah dongah puet ka khueh.
I am thankful to God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, when I remember you, as I never fail to do, in my prayers — night and day alike,
4 Nang kah mikphi te ka poek vaengah omngaihnah neh ka baetawt hamla nang hmuh ka rhingda.
as I think of your tears, longing to see you, that my happiness may be completed,
5 Na khuikah tangnah taktak te thoelhnah la ka loh. Te tah na numca Lois neh na nu Euniki khuiah ana hing lamhma coeng. Te dongah namah khuikah te ni ka pang van.
now that I have been reminded of the sincere faith that you have shown. That faith was seen first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and is now, I am convinced, in you also.
6 Te paelnaehnah dongah Pathen kah kutdoe te huek hamla nang kan thoelh. Te tah kai kah kut tloengnah lamloh nang soah om coeng.
And that is my reason for reminding you to stir into flame that gift of God, which is yours through your ordination at my hands.
7 Pathen loh mamih ham rhalyawpnah mueihla m'pae pawt tih thaomnah, lungnah neh kuemsuemnah ni m'paek.
For the Spirit which God gave us was not a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power, love, and self-control.
8 Te dongah mamih Boeipa kah laipai ham amah kah thongtla la kai ka om khaw yak boeh. Tedae Pathen kah thaomnah tarhing ah olthangthen te patang puei.
Do not, therefore, be ashamed of the testimony which we have to bear to our Lord, nor yet of me who am a prisoner for him; but join with me in suffering for the Good News, as far as God enables you.
9 Mamih n'khang tih aka cim khuenah neh n'khue te mamih kah bibi nen pawt tih Pathen amah kah mangtaengnah neh lungvatnah rhangnen ni. Tete khosuen tue hlanah ni Jesuh Khrih ah mamih m'paek coeng. (aiōnios g166)
It was God who saved us, and from him we received our solemn Call — not as a reward for anything that we had done, but in fulfilment of his own loving purpose. For that love was extended to us, through Christ Jesus, before time began, (aiōnios g166)
10 Tedae mamih khangkung Khrih Jesuh kaha phoenah dongah tah phoe coeng. Dueknah tea hmil ngawn coeng, hingnah neh aka nguelte khaw olthangthen lamloha yaal coeng.
and has now been made apparent through the Appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus; who has made an end of Death, and has brought Life and Immortality to light by that Good News,
11 Te ham ni olhoe neh caeltueih neh saya la kai m'hmoel.
of which I was myself appointed a Herald and Apostle, and Teacher.
12 He paelnaehnah dongah ka patang van coeng he. Tedae ka tangnah te ka ming tih ka yak pawh. Ka hnokhueh he te khohnin due dawndah ham a coengthailaa om te ka ngaitang coeng.
That is why I am undergoing these sufferings; yet I feel no shame, for I know in whom I have put my faith, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until ‘That Day.’
13 Jesuh Khrih ah tangnah, lungnah neh kai lamkahna yaak aka soep olka kah a ninglam te muk lah.
Keep before you, as an example of sound teaching, all that you learnt from me as you listened with that faith and love which come from union with Christ Jesus.
14 A then hnokhueh te mamih ah aka hing Mueihla Cim lamloh tuem ne.
Guard by the help of the Holy Spirit, who is within us, the glorious trust that has been committed to you.
15 Asia kah rhoek loh kai boeih n'nong tak uh tena ming. Amih khuiah Phikelu neh Harmokene khaw om.
You know, of course, that all our friends in Roman Asia turned their backs on me, and among them Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16 Onesiphor imah Boeipa loh rhennah han khueh saeh. Kai he n'caih sak taitu tih kai kah kuelrhui te yah puei pawh.
May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chains.
17 Tedae Rom ah aka om loh kaite ngahngah n'toem tih m'hmuh.
On the contrary, when he arrived in Rome, he sought eagerly for me till he found me.
18 Tekah khohnin ah Boeipa kah rhennah dang sak ham Boeipa loh anih ham pae saeh. Rhep na ming bangla Ephisa ah khaw bahoeng n'bomcen.
The Lord grant that he may find mercy at the hands of the Lord on ‘That Day.’ The many services that he rendered at Ephesus you have the best means of knowing.
