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.
Now the Spirit clearly says that in later times some people will leave the faith and pay attention to deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons
2 A mingcimnah te laithae kah thailatnah neh a kolh uh coeng.
in lying hypocrisy. Their own consciences will be branded.
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.
They will forbid to marry and to receive foods that God created for sharing with thanksgiving among those who believe and who know the truth.
4 Pathen kah kutngo tah boeih then tih hnawt ham moenih uemonah neh doe ham ni.
For everything created by God is good. Nothing that we take with thanksgiving is to be rejected.
5 Pathen kah olka neh rhikhangnah loh a ciim coeng.
For it is sanctified by the word of God and 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.
If you place these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Jesus Christ. For you are being nourished by the words of faith and by the good teaching that you have followed.
7 Tedae a rhonging neh yancil a rhuem hnawt lamtah hingcimnah ham namah hlinsai uh.
But reject worldly stories loved by old women. Instead, train yourself in 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.
For bodily training is a little useful, but godliness is useful for all things. It holds promise for this life now and the life to come.
9 Olka tah uepom neh hlang boeih kah a doe ham tueng.
This message is trustworthy and worthy of full acceptance.
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.
For it is for this that we struggle and work very hard. For we have hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, but especially of believers.
11 He rhoek he uen lamtah thuituen.
Proclaim and teach these things.
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. Instead, be an example for those who believe, in speech, conduct, love, faithfulness, and purity.
13 Ka pawk hil olcim taenah, thaphohnah, thuituennah te ngaithuen uh.
Until I come, attend to the reading, to the exhortation, and to the teaching.
14 Nang dongah kutdoe te sawtrhoel boeh. Te tah tonghma ol lamloh kangham rhoek kah kut tloengnah nen ni nang m'paek.
Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you through prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
15 He he na mangtuk tih a khuiah na om daengah ni na rhoengcawtnah loh hlang boeih taengah mingpha la a om eh.
Care for these things. Be in them, so that your progress may be evident to all people.
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.
Give careful attention to yourself and to the teaching. Continue in these things. For by doing so, you will save yourself and those who listen to you.
