2 Timothy 3
1 Tedae he he ming lah. Khohnin hnukkhueng ah te tah a rhai tue pai ni.
But know this, that in the last days trying times will come.
2 Hlang he pahuul, naivoei, hlangoek, buhueng aka pom, aka soehsal, manu napa taengah aka lokhak, aka noihhai, aka tanghnong,
For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, revilers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 kotalh, thunkha thunhling, rhaithae, aka khoeihveet, mangkhak, aka muen,
without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, intemperate, fierce, haters of those who are good,
4 hlangyoi, marhu marhat, aka koevoei, Pathen lungnah lakah hawlthak aka coeng bet,
traitors, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God,
5 Hingcimnah lungsak a khueh dae te hingcimnah kah thaomnah aka hnawt la om uh ni. Te vaengah hekah rhoek he nong tak.
having a form of godliness, but denying its power: from these also turn away.
6 Amih lakli kah aka om rhoek te im la yuel uh tih hoehhamnah cungkuem loh a payawk uh dongah tholh neh a vueinan huta thae te a sol uh.
For of this sort are those who worm themselves into houses, and lead captive silly women that are laden with sins, and influenced by various desires,
7 A cang uh vawptawp dae oltak kah mingnah te pha thai uh pawh.
that are always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Te dongah Jenne neh Jambres loh Moses a kamkaih rhoi bangla he rhoek long kaw oltak te a kamkaih uh van. A lungbuei poci tih tangnah dongah aka lolhmaih hlang rhoek ni.
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so these also will withstand the truth; men corrupt in mind, rejected as it respects the faith.
9 Tedae taoe koep cungphoek mahpawh. Te rhoi kah a om van bangla amih kah a anglat khaw a cungkuem taengah phaeng phoe bitni.
But they shall proceed no further; for their madness shall be manifest to all, as was the madness of those men.
10 Tedae nang tah kai kah thuituennah, khosak rhamsak, mangtaengnah, tangnah, thinsennah, lungnah, uehnah, patangnah, hnaemtaeknah te na thuep.
But you have fully known my teaching, my course of life, my purpose, my faithfulness, my long-suffering, my love, my patience,
11 Te te kai hamla Antiok ah, Ikonium ah, Lustra ah thoeng. Hnaemtaeknah te ka ueh vaengah ka cungkuem ah Boeipa loh n'hlawt.
my persecutions, my sufferings which came upon me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; you well know what persecutions I endured: and yet out of them all, the Lord delivered me.
12 Te dongah Khrih Jesuh ah hingcim la hing aka ngaih boeih te tah a hnaemtaek uh ni.
And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.
13 Tedae bothae hlang neh laithae rhoek tah hlang a rhaithi uh doeah amamih rhaithi la om tih a thae la cungpoeh uh ni.
But evil men and impostors will become worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 Nang tah na cang tih na ngaitang dongah te naeh lah. U taengkah na cang khaw ming lah.
But do you continue in the things which you have learned and well understood, knowing from whom you learned them,
15 A cim cabu he cahni lamloh na ming coeng te ta. Te long te Khrih Jesuh ah tangnah rhangneh khangnah dongla nang n'cuek sak thai.
and that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise in order to salvation, through faith that is in Christ Jesus.
16 Cacim boeih he Pathen kah hil la om tih thuituennah ham, toelthamnah ham, tlaihvongnah ham, duengnah dongah hlinsainah ham hoeikhang.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
17 Te nen ni Pathen kah hlang loh hlangsoep la a om vetih bibi then te boeih a cuum sak eh.
that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished for every good work.
