2 Timothy 2
1 Te dongah ka ca nang Khrih Jesuh ah lungvatnah neh thaphoh uh.
Do you, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus;
2 Te khaw kai lamloh laipai a yet neh na yaak coeng. He he uepom hlang taengah pae ne. Amih tah a tloe thuituen ham khaw khangmai la om bitni.
and the things which you have heard from me through many witnesses, these do you commit to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Jesuh Khrih kah rhalkap then la patang puei.
Do you, therefore, suffer evil, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 Aka vathoh loh a khosaknah dongkah khosak rhamok neh a tingtong pawt daengah ni caemthoh te kolo la a om eh.
Every one that serves as a soldier keeps himself free from the business of this life, that he may please him that has chosen him to be a soldier.
5 Khat khat long khaw a loehlang dae a longim pawt la a loehlang atah rhuisam a khuem moenih.
And if any one also contend in the public games, he is not crowned, unless he contend according to the laws.
6 Thakthae lotawn te lamhma la a thaih a dang ham a kuek.
It is necessary that, the farmer should labor, before he partakes of the fruits.
7 Ka thui te yakming lah. A cungkuem dongah yakmingnah te Boeipa loh nang ham m'paek bitni.
Consider what I say, for I pray that the Lord may give you understanding in all things.
8 Kaimih kah olthangthen vanbangla David tiingan lamkah neh duek lamkah aka thoo Jesuh Khrih te poek.
Remember that Jesus Christ, of the posterity of David, was raised from the dead, according to my gospel;
9 Te ham te laihmuh bangla thongtlak hilah ka patang dae Pathen kah Olka tah pinyen hlan.
in which I suffer evil, as an evil-doer, even to bonds: but the word of God is not bound.
10 Te dongah a coelh rhoek ham te boeih ka ueh. Te daengah ni khangnah te amih loh dungyan thangpomnah neh Khrih Jesuh ah a dang uh van eh. (aiōnios g166)
For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 He ol he a uepom ta. N'duek atah n'hing puei van ni ta.
Assuredly true is the saying: If indeed we have died with him, we shall also live with him;
12 N'ueh uh atah m'manghai uh van ni ta. N'hnawt uh van atah amah loh mamih he n'hnawt van ni.
if we are patient, we shall also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us;
13 Amah a hnawt thai pawt dongah n'hnalval uh cakhaw anih tah uepom la naeh ngawn ta.
if we are unfaithful, he remains faithful: he can not deny himself.
14 He rhoek he thoelh pah. Pathen hmaiah naenam pawt ham kang uen. A hoeikhang ham pawt he aka ya rhoek kah pocinah ham ni te.
Put them in mind of these things, charging them before the Lord that they dispute not about words to no profit, which disputes end in the overthrow of the hearers.
15 Oltak olka te aka paekhlae, aka birhih pawh bibikung tih namah te Pathen taengah ueppang koi la pai hamla haam lah.
Strive to present yourself to God as approved, a workman that has no cause to be ashamed, rightly setting forth the word of truth.
16 Tedae a rhonging kah olhong te rhael, hlangrhong khuila muep cungphoek uh ve.
But shun profane and vain babblings; for they will make further advance to ungodliness,
17 Amih kah olka te khaw hmapuek manrhaicak bangla cet ni. Te khuiah Hymenaeus neh Philetu om rhoi.
and their word will eat as a gangrene: of whom are Hymenæus and Philetus,
18 Amih rhoi loh oltak te a hlihloeh sak rhoi tih thohkoepnah om coeng a ti rhoi. Te vaengah hlangvang kah tangnah te a palet rhoi.
who, as it respects the truth, have erred, saying that the resurrection has already taken place; and they overthrow the faith of some.
19 Tedae Pathen kah khoengim tah khangmai la pai. Hekah kutnoek aka om dongah amah kah la aka om rhoek te Boeipa loh aming. Te dongah Boeipa ming aka phoei boeih long tah boethae lamloh nong saeh.
But the foundation of God stands firm, having this inscription: The Lord knows those who are his; and, Let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 Tahae kah im puei ah sui neh caben hnopai bueng pawt tih thing neh diklai umam khaw om. Te dongah a ngen tah thangpomnah ham om dae a tloe te tah yahpohnah la om.
In a great house, however, there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some for honor, and some for dishonor.
21 Te dongah khat khat loh he lamkah amah a cilpoe atah boeikung kah a congpang koi neh bibi then boeih ham a hmoel tih a ciim thangpomnah hnopai la om ni.
If, therefore, any one will cleanse himself from these strifes about words, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, highly useful to the master, prepared for every good work.
22 Te dongah cadongcaloe kah hoehhamnah te rhaelrham tak lamtah duengnah, tangnah, lungnah, thinko a caih la Boeipa aka phoei rhoek neh rhoeprhoinah te huul lah.
Shun youthful desires, and follow righteousness, faithfulness, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 Tedae aka ang neh angvawk kah olpungnah te hnawt lamtah rhalthohnah ni a. saii uh tila ming lah.
But avoid foolish and unprofitable questions, because you know that they produce contentions:
24 Te dongah Boeipa kah sal loh hnueih ham a kuek moenih. Tedae a cungkuem ham kodo la khala neh ueh ham a kuek.
and the servant of the Lord must not be contentious, but gentle toward all men, able to teach, patient under evils,
25 Thimkalh rhoek muelhtuetnah neh toel mai. Amih te Pathen loh oltak mingnah dongla yutnah khaw a paek khaming.
in meekness instructing those who oppose themselves, if, possibly, God may give them repentance in order to the acknowledgment of the truth,
26 Te daengah ni amah loh amah kongaih la a tuuk khaw rhaithae kah thaang lamloh a sae uh eh.
and that they may awake to sobriety out of the snare of the devil, after having been taken captive by him according to his will.
