2 Timothy 4
1 Pathen neh Khrih Jesuh hmaiah kang uen. A phoenah, a ram neh aka duek aka hing laitloek ham cai.
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing, in his kingdom;
2 Ol te hoe pah. Na bihoep tamto akhaw pai thil laeh. Thinsennah thuituennah cungkuem neh toeltham lamtah, sim lamtah, hloep laeh.
preach the word, be instant both in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and instruction.
3 Aka cuem thuituennah neh a yaknaem uh pawt vaengah ni a tue a pai eh. Tedae a hoehhamnah bangla amamih kah hnavue aka thak saya rhoek te a kuk uh ni.
For the time will come, when they will not bear sound doctrine; but having itching ears, will heap up to themselves teachers after their own hearts:
4 Te phoeiah oltak lamkah a hna te a khong uh vetih cil taengla mael uh ni.
and turn away their attention from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
5 Tedae nang tah a cungkuem ah cue uh lamtah olthangthen bibi te patang doeah saii. Na bibi te khaw ming lah.
But be thou watchful in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, give full proof of thy ministry.
6 Ka phum uh coeng tih ka voeinah tue khaw ha pai coeng.
For I am now going to be sacrificed, and the time of my dissolution is near.
7 Aka then thingthuelnah te ka thingthuel coeng. Hma te ka khah coeng. Tangnah te ka kuem coeng.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished my race, I have kept the faith.
8 Tahae lamkah kai ham duengnah rhuisam te a khueh coeng. Te te aka dueng laitloekkung boeipa loh tekah khohnin ah kai n'thuung ni. Te phoeiah kai bueng pawt tih a phoenah aka lungnah rhoek boeih te khaw a paek ni.
As to what remains, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me in that day: and not to me only, but also to all those who have longed for his appearance.
9 Kai taengah koe aka pawk la na haam mako.
Endeavour to come to me soon: for Demas hath forsaken me,
10 Demas loh kai n'phap tih ta kumhal kah he a lungnah. Te dongah Thessalonika la, Kresens te Galati la, Titu te Dalmatia la vik cet. (aiōn g165)
through love of this world, and is gone to Thessalonica; as is Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia: Luke only is with me. (aiōn g165)
11 Ka taengah Luka bueng ni aka om. Marku te lo lamtah namah neh ha puei uh. Kai ham tah bibi dongah congpang koila om.
Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is useful to me in the ministry.
12 Tedae Tukhiko te Ephisa la ka tueih coeng.
And I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
13 Na lo vaengah Troas kah Karpuh taengah himbai neh cayol olpuei la maehpho ka khueh te hang khuen.
When thou comest, bring with thee the cloke, that I left at Troas with Carpus; and the books, but especially the parchments.
14 Rhohum aka bi Alexander loh kai soah thae muep a tueng sak. Boeipa loh anih te amah khoboe bangla a thuung bitni.
Alexander the brazier did me many ill turns: the Lord will reward him according to his deeds.
15 Mamih kah olka te bahoeng a kamkaih dongah nang khaw anih te ngaithuen.
Of whom do thou also beware: for he hath greatly opposed our doctrine.
16 Kai kah olthungnah lamhma vaengah kai taengla ha pawk uh pawh. Hlang boeih loh kai n'phap cakhaw amih te ngaiyaknah boel sih.
In my first defence no one stood by me, but all men forsook me: God grant it may not be laid to their charge!
17 Tedae Boeipa loh kai m'pai puei tih kai n'thaphoh. Te daengah ni kai lamkah olhoe te a soep sak vetih namtom loh boeih a yaak eh. Te tlam ni sathueng ka lamloh n'hlawt.
But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that by me the gospel might be fully spread, and that all the nations might hear: and so I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18 Boeipa loh khoboe thae boeih lamkah kai n'hlawt vetih vaan kah amah ram khuila n'daem sak ni. Amah te kumhal ah kumhal duela thangpomnah om saeh. Amen. (aiōn g165)
And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me to his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory throughout all ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Priska neh Aquila, Onesiphor imkhuikho te toidal ne.
Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the family of Onesiphorus.
20 Erastu te Kawrin ah om tih Trophimu te a tloh dongah Miletu ah ka khueh.
Erastus staid at Corinth, and I left Trophimus sick at Miletus.
21 Sikca hlanah pawk hamla na haam mako. Ubuluh, Puden, Linu, Kalaudia neh manuca rhoek boeih loh nang kutn'tuuk uh.
Endeavour therefore to come to me before winter. Eubulus saluteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and indeed all the brethren.
22 Boeipa loh na mueihla te om puei saeh. Lungvatnah tah nangmih taengah om saeh.
The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you all. Amen.
