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.
As many as are under the yoke of slavery should consider their own owners to be worthy of full respect, so that God's name and doctrine not be slandered.
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.
Those who have owners who are believers must not disregard them because they are brothers; instead they must serve them even better, because those receiving the good service are believers and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
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 anyone teaches differently and does not consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine that accords with godliness,
4 Tedae olpungnah neh naenamnah ham ni a yahuem. Te lamkah loh uethnetnah, tohhaemnah, soehsalnah neh a thae la ngaihoihnah ha thoeng.
he is conceited and understands nothing. Rather he is obsessed with controversies and hair-splitting word battles, from which come envy, strife, slanderings, 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 wranglings of men with corrupted minds and destitute of the Truth, who suppose that godliness is a means to financial gain. Keep away from such people.
6 Tedae hingcimnah dongah rhaemhalnah ni a len koek calomnah la a om.
Now godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 Diklai la bakhaw n'khuen uh pawt bangla diklai lamloh pakhat khaw n'khuen uh thai moenih.
We brought nothing into the world and it is certain that neither can we take anything out.
8 Tedae aka om duen cakok neh pueinak nen he rhaemhal uh sih.
So having food and clothing we will be content with that.
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 want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish and harmful desires, that plunge people into ruin and loss;
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.
because the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil; in their greediness some have been led away from the faith and have impaled themselves on many distresses.
11 Tedae aw Pathen kah hlang nang loh he he rhaelrham tak lamtah duengnah, hingcimnah, tangnah, lungnah, uehnah, kodonah te huul lah.
But you, O man of God, flee these things; rather pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.
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)
Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life into which you were called—indeed, you confessed the good confession in the presence of 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.
In the presence of the God who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, I charge you
14 Mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah a phoenah duela olpaek te cuemhmuet neh hmabuet la na tuem mako.
to keep this commandment without spot, blameless 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 He will manifest at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and the Lord of lords;
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 alone has immortality, residing in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen or can see; to whom be honor and eternal power. 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)
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be haughty, nor to rely upon the uncertainty of riches but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
18 a then sai ham, bibi then neh khuehtawn ham, moeihoeih tonghnae la om ham,
they are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous sharers
19 Amamih hmailong ham aka then khoengim te a tunghlaep uh tih hingnah taktak te a khueh uh van ham uen ne.
—storing up for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, so that they may lay hold on the eternal life.
20 Aw Timothy, na hnokhueh te tuem ne. A rhonging, olhong neh mingthae aka phuei mingnah dongkah kingkalhnah te rhael ne.
O Timothy, guard the deposit! Turn away from the godless, empty chatter and inconsistencies of what is falsely called ‘science’
21 Angen loh tangnah dongah ol a caeng uh te a hlihloeh sakuh. Lungvatnah nangmih taengah om saeh.
—by professing it some have erred concerning the Faith. The Grace be with you. Amen.
