1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,

I lametna Topa Jesus Christ le eite hong tan Pathian i thupiakna tungtawn in Jesus Christ i sawltak Paul in;

2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Upna sung ah ka tapa tatak Timothy tung ah: i Pa Pathian le i Topa Jesus Christ tung pan in thuthiamna, hesuakna le thinnopna hong om tahen.

3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,

Mi pawlkhat te hilna dang hil ngawl tu in, na vaithak thei na tu, Macedonia ka pai lai in, Ephesus ah om nginge tu in nangma kong thum zo hi,

4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.

Phuatawm tangthu te le tawp hun nei ngawl khang thu te thupisak ngawl tu in vaitha in, tabang te in ki nialna piangsak a, Pathian mi hi na lamsang khangtosak ngawl hi.

5 But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,

Tu in thupiakna a tawpna sia a thiangtho thinsung, khentel thei na pha le upna tatak sung pan in a piang itna a hihi:

6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,

Tua thu pan in pawlkhat te lampial uh a mannung ngawl kammal sang ah kihei uh hi;

7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.

Amate i son te le amate in kipsak a hi hunlam zong he ngawl in, thukhamhil sya te hi nuam lai uh hi.

8 But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,

Ahihang mi khat in thukham bang in a zang ahile thukham sia pha hi, ci i he hi;

9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

Hi thu ciamte in, thukham sia mi thutang te atu in a ki vawt hi ngawl hi, ahihang thukham nei ngawl te le thu ni ngawl te, Pathian nei ngawl te le mawnei te, a thiangtho ngawl te le Pathian a thusimngawl te, pa te a that te le nu te a that te,

10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,

Pumpi ki zuak pa te, pa le pa paktat te, mihing ngu te, leilot thu son te, leilot kamciam vawt te, hil na man langpan te atu a hihi;

11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

Tabang hilna man sia thupha Pathian i lungdamna thupha vanglian taw ki phu ngawl a, keima tung ah hong ap hi.

12 I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,

Taciang hong thahatsak i Topa Christ Jesus lungdam ka ko hi, banghangziam cile Ama in thuman in hong ngaisun a, Pathian nasepna sung ah hong koi hi;

13 although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

Keima sia nidang in ngual sonsia, ngual a vawtsia le ngual supna tu a vawt ka hihang: hesuakna ka sang hi, banghangziam cile up ngawl na sung ah he ngawl in ka vawt hang hi.

14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Taciang i Topa i thuthiamna sia Christ Jesus sung ah upna le itna taw dim in let hi.

15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

Christ Jesus sia mawnei te ngum tu in hileitung ah hongpai hi, a ci sia a thuman kammal hi a, a vekpi in san tak hi; tua mawnei te sung ah keima sia a mawbel ka hihi.

16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for consummate (aiōnios g166) life.

Ahihang nidang ciang in tawntung nuntakna atu a um lai tu te atu ettte tu in, keima mawneibel tung ah Jesus Christ in a thinsauna theampo hong kilangsak a, a hesuakna ka sang hi. (aiōnios g166)

17 Now to the King of the ages (aiōn g165), immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory for the ages (aiōn g165) of the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.

Tu in tawntung Kumpi, a thi thei ngawl, ki mu thei ngawl, a cialcing Pathian khatbek omsun tung ah zatakna le minthanna a tawntung in om tahen. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

Ka ta Timothy awng, nangma huvau a hun bo sa sung ah mailam thu pualakna a om bangin hi thupiakna sia na khut sung ah muangin kong ap hi. Phatak in ngal na do thei natu in hi kammalte ngalhiam in zang in a,

19 holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,

Na upna kholet in, thinsung thiangtho na nei tan. Mihing pawlkhat a thinsung uh pan, a piang thu te um ngawlin upna lalsak uh hi.

20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

Tuate sung ah, Haimenias le Alexander zong kihel a; amate sia mindaisak ngawl tu in a sin thei na tu Satan tung ah ka ap zo hi.
