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 charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead at 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 diligent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

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 endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap up to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

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 they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned to fables.

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 watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy 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 now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

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 a good fight, I have finished my 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.

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but to all them also that love his appearing.

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

Do thy diligence to come shortly to me:

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 hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and hath departed to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, 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.

Luke only is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

12 Taciang Tychicus sia Ephesus ah ka paisak zo hi.

And Tychicus have I sent 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.

The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but 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 me much evil: the Lord reward 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 beware thou also; for he hath greatly withstood 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 defence no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.

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.

However the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles 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 shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me to his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Priscilla, Aquila le Onesiphorus innkuanpui te paupui in.

Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

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

Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus I have left at Miletum sick.

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

Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

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

The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. The second epistle to Timothy, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians, was written from Rome, when Paul was brought before Nero the second time.
