1 Timothy 4

1 Tua ahikom, Ama hong kilang ciang in a kumpingam sung ah mihing te le mithi te thu a khen tu Topa Jesus Christ le Pathian mai ah kong vaitha hi;

I command you therefore before God and Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his Kingdom:

2 Pathian thuhil in; hunpha a om ciang ahizong, hunpha a om ngawl ciang ahizong, thinsau in hilna taw tek in a, tei in hanthawn in.

preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.

3 Banghangziam cile hilna mantak a ngai zawk ngawl uh hun hong theng tu a; amate cilesa deina bang in thuhil te sia amate tung ah ki khawmtuasak tu hi, amate bil te thak tu a;

For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts;

4 Thuman pan in amate i bil te kihei siat tu hi, taciang phuatawm tangthu te nakheng daw in ngai zaw tu uh hi.

and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to myths.

5 Ahihang nang na hile na theampo ah ngak in, haksatna te thuak in, thuphapuak nasep seam in, Pathian nasep sia khetnei ngawl in seam siat in.

But you be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

6 Banghangziam cile keima sia tu in biakpiakna ah ki piak tu in ka kinging zo hi, taciang ka pusua tu hun hong nai zo hi.

For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.

7 Ki do na ah phatak in ka do zo hi, tai kidem na ah a tawpdong ka tai zo hi, upna zong ka keamcing zo hi:

I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.

8 Tu pan kipan in thutang suana kham lukhu sia keima atu in koi zo hi, tasia in a thutang thukhen pa Topa in tua ni ciang in hong pia tu hi: taciang keima bek hi ngawl in Ama hong kilang tu a ngakla te theampo zong pia tu hi.

From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

9 Ka kung ah a manlang pai tu in hanciam in:

Be diligent to come to me soon,

10 Banghangziam cile Demas in hi leitung a it hu in hong nusia a, Thessalonica khua ah pai hi; Crescens sia Galatia ah pai a, Titus sia Dalmatia ah pai hi. (aiōn g165)

for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

11 Ka kung ah Luke bek om hi. Mark zong pa kawm tan a, ka kung ah hong paipui tan: banghangziam cile ama sia Pathian nasep na sung ah keima atu in phatuam mama hi.

Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.

12 Taciang Tychicus sia Ephesus ah ka paisak zo hi.

But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

13 Nongpai ciang in Troas a om Carpus kung ah ka nusiat ka puantual tungsil sia hong keng kawm tan, taciang laibu te zong hong keng tan a, a tuan in savun laizial te hong keng tan.

Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.

14 Tau seak pa Alexander in ka tung ah siatna tampi vawt hi: ama hong vawt nate bang in Topa in thukkik tahen:

Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works,

15 Ama taw kisai nangma zong kidawm in; banghangziam cile ama in i thuhil nate nasiatak in hong do hi.

of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words.

16 A masabel thu ka zo lai in kuama in hong panpui ngawl a, mi theampo in hong nusia siat hi: Pathian in amate mawsiat ngawl tu in thu ka ngen hi.

At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.

17 Ahihang Topa in hong panpui a, tha hong pia hi; tabang in ka thuhil na sia mihing theampo in a heak thei natu in le Gentile the theampo in a zak thei natu in humpi nealkai kam sung pan hong suaktasak hi.

But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the non-Jewish people might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

18 Taciang Topa in nasep pha ngawl theampo sung pan in hong suaktasak tu hi, taciang Ama in vantung kumpingam hong thet dong hong suaktaksak tu hi; Ama tung ah minthanna om tawntung tahen. Amen. (aiōn g165)

And the Lord will deliver me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Priscilla, Aquila le Onesiphorus innkuanpui te paupui in.

Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.

20 Erastus sia Corinth ah om a: ahihang Trophimus sia a cina ahikom in Miletus ah ka nusia hi.

Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left Trophimus at Miletus, ill.

21 Phalbi ma in ka kung pai tu in hanciam in. Eubulus, Pudens, Linas, Claudia le suapui theampo in hong paupui hi.

Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.

22 Topa Jesus Christ sia na thaa taw om tahen. Thuthiamna na tung ah hong om tahen. Amen.

The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
