2 Timothy 2
1 Te dongah ka ca nang Khrih Jesuh ah lungvatnah neh thaphoh uh.
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Te khaw kai lamloh laipai a yet neh na yaak coeng. He he uepom hlang taengah pae ne. Amih tah a tloe thuituen ham khaw khangmai la om bitni.
And the things that thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Jesuh Khrih kah rhalkap then la patang puei.
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 Aka vathoh loh a khosaknah dongkah khosak rhamok neh a tingtong pawt daengah ni caemthoh te kolo la a om eh.
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 Khat khat long khaw a loehlang dae a longim pawt la a loehlang atah rhuisam a khuem moenih.
And if a man also striveth for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he striveth lawfully.
6 Thakthae lotawn te lamhma la a thaih a dang ham a kuek.
The farmer that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7 Ka thui te yakming lah. A cungkuem dongah yakmingnah te Boeipa loh nang ham m'paek bitni.
Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
8 Kaimih kah olthangthen vanbangla David tiingan lamkah neh duek lamkah aka thoo Jesuh Khrih te poek.
Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
9 Te ham te laihmuh bangla thongtlak hilah ka patang dae Pathen kah Olka tah pinyen hlan.
In which I suffer trouble, as an evildoer, even to bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10 Te dongah a coelh rhoek ham te boeih ka ueh. Te daengah ni khangnah te amih loh dungyan thangpomnah neh Khrih Jesuh ah a dang uh van eh. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 He ol he a uepom ta. N'duek atah n'hing puei van ni ta.
It is a faithful saying: For if we are dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 N'ueh uh atah m'manghai uh van ni ta. N'hnawt uh van atah amah loh mamih he n'hnawt van ni.
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 Amah a hnawt thai pawt dongah n'hnalval uh cakhaw anih tah uepom la naeh ngawn ta.
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14 He rhoek he thoelh pah. Pathen hmaiah naenam pawt ham kang uen. A hoeikhang ham pawt he aka ya rhoek kah pocinah ham ni te.
Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they contend not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Oltak olka te aka paekhlae, aka birhih pawh bibikung tih namah te Pathen taengah ueppang koi la pai hamla haam lah.
Study to show thyself approved to God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 Tedae a rhonging kah olhong te rhael, hlangrhong khuila muep cungphoek uh ve.
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase to more ungodliness.
17 Amih kah olka te khaw hmapuek manrhaicak bangla cet ni. Te khuiah Hymenaeus neh Philetu om rhoi.
And their word will eat as doth a gangrene: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Amih rhoi loh oltak te a hlihloeh sak rhoi tih thohkoepnah om coeng a ti rhoi. Te vaengah hlangvang kah tangnah te a palet rhoi.
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Tedae Pathen kah khoengim tah khangmai la pai. Hekah kutnoek aka om dongah amah kah la aka om rhoek te Boeipa loh aming. Te dongah Boeipa ming aka phoei boeih long tah boethae lamloh nong saeh.
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 Tahae kah im puei ah sui neh caben hnopai bueng pawt tih thing neh diklai umam khaw om. Te dongah a ngen tah thangpomnah ham om dae a tloe te tah yahpohnah la om.
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 Te dongah khat khat loh he lamkah amah a cilpoe atah boeikung kah a congpang koi neh bibi then boeih ham a hmoel tih a ciim thangpomnah hnopai la om ni.
If a man therefore will cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified, and fit for the master’s use, and prepared to every good work.
22 Te dongah cadongcaloe kah hoehhamnah te rhaelrham tak lamtah duengnah, tangnah, lungnah, thinko a caih la Boeipa aka phoei rhoek neh rhoeprhoinah te huul lah.
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 Tedae aka ang neh angvawk kah olpungnah te hnawt lamtah rhalthohnah ni a saii uh tila ming lah.
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they produce quarrels.
24 Te dongah Boeipa kah sal loh hnueih ham a kuek moenih. Tedae a cungkuem ham kodo la khala neh ueh ham a kuek.
And the servant of the Lord must not quarrel; but be gentle to all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 Thimkalh rhoek muelhtuetnah neh toel mai. Amih te Pathen loh oltak mingnah dongla yutnah khaw a paek khaming.
In meekness instructing those that oppose him; if God perhaps will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 Te daengah ni amah loh amah kongaih la a tuuk khaw rhaithae kah thaang lamloh a sae uh eh.
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
