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 grievous 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, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without

3 kotalh, thunkha thunhling, rhaithae, aka khoeihveet, mangkhak, aka muen,

natural affection, implacable, slanderers, incontinent, fierce, without love for what is good,

4 hlangyoi, marhu marhat, aka koevoei, Pathen lungnah lakah hawlthak aka coeng bet,

betrayers, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather 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 the power thereof. And from these 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 these are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,

7 A cang uh vawptawp dae oltak kah mingnah te pha thai uh pawh.

ever learning, and never able to come to the full 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 also do these withstand the truth; men corrupted in their minds, reprobate concerning 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 will proceed no further; for their folly will be clearly manifest to all, as that of those men was.

10 Tedae nang tah kai kah thuituennah, khosak rhamsak, mangtaengnah, tangnah, thinsennah, lungnah, uehnah, patangnah, hnaemtaeknah te na thuep.

But thou art well acquainted with my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, 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.

persecutions, sufferings; what things came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and 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.

Yea, and all that desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will 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 wax 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 thou continue in the things which thou didst learn and wast assured of, knowing from what teachers thou didst learn 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 thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith which 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 inspired by God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for discipline 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 unto every good work.
