1 Timothy 6
1 Hnamkun hmuikah aka om sal boeih loh a boeikung rhoek te a cungkuem dongah hinyahnah ham tueng la poek saeh. Te daengah ni Pathen ming neh thuituennah te a soehsal pawt eh.
Let as many bondmen as are under yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and the teaching be not blasphemed.
2 Uepom la aka om boeilung rhoek tah manuca la a om uh dongah hnaep uh boeh. Tedae salbi uh taoe saeh. Uepom la a om uh dongah thintlo tah bibi then neh a bom. He he thuituen lamtah hloephoelh.
And they that have believing masters, let them not despise [them] because they are brethren; but let them the rather serve them with subjection, because they are faithful and beloved, who profit by the good and ready service [rendered]. These things teach and exhort.
3 Khatkhat loh a thuituen tholh tih, mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah olka cim neh hingcimnah vanbangla thuituenah te a paan pawt atah koevoei uh tih a hmat hae moenih.
If any one teach differently, and do not accede to sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the teaching which [is] according to piety,
4 Tedae olpungnah neh naenamnah ham ni a yahuem. Te lamkah loh uethnetnah, tohhaemnah, soehsalnah neh a thae la ngaihoihnah ha thoeng.
he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and disputes of words, out of which arise envy, strife, injurious words, evil suspicions,
5 Olcenkama loh hlang kah lungbuei te a phae tih oltak te a hmil. Calomnah te hingcimnah ni tila a poek uh.
constant quarrellings of men corrupted in mind and destitute of the truth, holding gain to be [the end of] piety.
6 Tedae hingcimnah dongah rhaemhalnah ni a len koek calomnah la a om.
But piety with contentment is great gain.
7 Diklai la bakhaw n'khuen uh pawt bangla diklai lamloh pakhat khaw n'khuen uh thai moenih.
For we have brought nothing into the world: [it is] [manifest] that neither can we carry anything out.
8 Tedae aka om duen cakok neh pueinak nen he rhaemhal uh sih.
But having sustenance and covering, we will be content with these.
9 Tedae khuehtawn ham aka ngaih rhoek tah cuekhalhnah neh thaang ah khaw, angnah dongkah hoehhamnah cungkuem neh nganboh dongah khaw cungku uh. Te long te rhawpnah neh pocinah khuila hlang a buek sak.
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many unwise and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into destruction and ruin.
10 Tangkangaih tah boethae cungkuem kah a yung la om. Te te aka nai hlangvang tah tangnah lamloh phael uh tih amamih te lungnat loh mat a cueh.
For the love of money is [the] root of every evil; which some having aspired after, have wandered from the faith, and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
11 Tedae aw Pathen kah hlang nang loh he he rhaelrham tak lamtah duengnah, hingcimnah, tangnah, lungnah, uehnah, kodonah te huul lah.
But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness of spirit.
12 Tangnah kah thingthuelnah te a then la thingthuel lamtah dungyan hingnah te lo lah. Te ham ni ng'khue tih a then olphoei te laipai a yet hmaiah na phong. (aiōnios g166)
Strive earnestly [in] the good conflict of faith. Lay hold of eternal life, to which thou hast been called, and hast confessed the good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 A cungkuem aka hing sak Pathen neh Pontius Pilat hmaiah aka then olphoei aka phong Jesuh Khrih hmaiah nang kang uen.
I enjoin thee before God who preserves all things in life, and Christ Jesus who witnessed before Pontius Pilate the good confession,
14 Mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah a phoenah duela olpaek te cuemhmuet neh hmabuet la na tuem mako.
that thou keep the commandment spotless, irreproachable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;
15 Te khaw amah tue ah tah yoethen neh mangpa bueng loh, manghai rhoek kah manghai neh boei rhoek kah boei loh a phoe ni.
which in its own time the blessed and only Ruler shall shew, the King of those that reign, and Lord of those that exercise lordship;
16 Amah bueng ni aka nguel la om tih m'phavawt vangnah khuiah kol. Anih aka hmu he hlang om pawt tih a hmuh ham khaw coeng thai pawh. Amah taengah te hinyahnah neh thaomnah dungyan la om saeh. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
who only has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor is able to see; to whom [be] honour and eternal might. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Ta kumhal kah kuirhang rhoek te kopoek sang pawt ham, aka nguel pawh khuehtawn soah ngaiuep pawt ham uen lah. Tedae omngaihbawnnah ham cungkuem te kodam la mamih aka pae Pathen taengah, (aiōn g165)
Enjoin on those rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to trust on the uncertainty of riches; but in the God who affords us all things richly for [our] enjoyment; (aiōn g165)
18 a then sai ham, bibi then neh khuehtawn ham, moeihoeih tonghnae la om ham,
to do good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal in distributing, disposed to communicate [of their substance],
19 Amamih hmailong ham aka then khoengim te a tunghlaep uh tih hingnah taktak te a khueh uh van ham uen ne.
laying by for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of [what is] really life.
20 Aw Timothy, na hnokhueh te tuem ne. A rhonging, olhong neh mingthae aka phuei mingnah dongkah kingkalhnah te rhael ne.
O Timotheus, keep the entrusted deposit, avoiding profane, vain babblings, and oppositions of false-named knowledge,
21 Angen loh tangnah dongah ol a caeng uh te a hlihloeh sakuh. Lungvatnah nangmih taengah om saeh.
of which some having made profession, have missed the faith. Grace [be] with thee.
