1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,
Te dongah hmailong tue ah hlangvang loh tangnah te a nong tak ni tila Mueihla loh phaeng a thui coeng. Te vaengah laithaelaidang mueihla neh rhaithae kah thuituennah te a ngaithuen uh ni.
2 influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.
A mingcimnah te laithae kah thailatnah neh a kolh uh coeng.
3 They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
Yuloh vasak ham a paa sak tih uepom rhoek neh oltkak aka ming rhoek loh uemonah neh a doe ham Pathen loh a suen cakok te a rhael sak.
4 For every creation of God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected,
Pathen kah kutngo tah boeih then tih hnawt ham moenih uemonah neh doe ham ni.
5 because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Pathen kah olka neh rhikhangnah loh a ciim coeng.
6 By pointing out these things to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of faith and sound instruction that you have followed.
He he manuca rhoek taengah a then la na tloeng pah atah Khrih Jesuh kah tueihyoeih la na om ni. Tangnah olka neh n'hlinsai tih thuituennah then te na thuep coeng.
7 But reject irreverent, silly myths. Instead, train yourself for godliness.
Tedae a rhonging neh yancil a rhuem hnawt lamtah hingcimnah ham namah hlinsai uh.
8 For physical exercise is of limited value, but godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for the present life and for the one to come.
Pumrho hlinsainah tah hoeikhang la bet akhaw om. Tedae hingcimnah tah tahae kah hingnah neh hmailong kah olkhueh aka om boeih ham hoeikhang la om.
9 This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance.
Olka tah uepom neh hlang boeih kah a doe ham tueng.
10 To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, and especially of those who believe.
He ham kongah n'thakthae uh tih n'thingthuel uh cakhaw aka hing Pathen ni n'ngaiuep uh. Amah tah hlang boeih neh olpuei la uepom rhoek kah khangkung la om.
11 Command and teach these things.
He rhoek he uen lamtah thuituen.
12 Let no one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
Na camoe te han hnaep boel saeh, tedae olka dongah, omih dongah, lungnah dongah, tangnah dongah, cilpoenah dongah, uepom rhoek ham mueimae la om lah.
13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, and to teaching.
Ka pawk hil olcim taenah, thaphohnah, thuituennah te ngaithuen uh.
14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given you through the prophecy spoken over you at the laying on of the hands of the elders.
Nang dongah kutdoe te sawtrhoel boeh. Te tah tonghma ol lamloh kangham rhoek kah kut tloengnah nen ni nang m'paek.
15 Be diligent in these matters and absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.
He he na mangtuk tih a khuiah na om daengah ni na rhoengcawtnah loh hlang boeih taengah mingpha la a om eh.
16 Pay close attention to your life and to your teaching. Persevere in these things, for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
Namah te laehdawn uh lamtah thuituennah te oei lah. He tla saii daengah ni namah khaw, nang aka hnatung rhoek khaw na khang eh.
