2 Timothy 2
1 And as for you, my son, be strengthened by the grace which is in Christ Jesus,
Te dongah ka ca nang Khrih Jesuh ah lungvatnah neh thaphoh uh.
2 and by the things which you have heard from me through many witnesses. These things encourage faithful men, who shall then be suitable to teach others also.
Te khaw kai lamloh laipai a yet neh na yaak coeng. He he uepom hlang taengah pae ne. Amih tah a tloe thuituen ham khaw khangmai la om bitni.
3 Labor like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Jesuh Khrih kah rhalkap then la patang puei.
4 No man, acting as a soldier for God, entangles himself in worldly matters, so that he may be pleasing to him for whom he has proven himself.
Aka vathoh loh a khosaknah dongkah khosak rhamok neh a tingtong pawt daengah ni caemthoh te kolo la a om eh.
5 Then, too, whoever strives in a competition is not crowned, unless he has competed lawfully.
Khat khat long khaw a loehlang dae a longim pawt la a loehlang atah rhuisam a khuem moenih.
6 The farmer who labors ought to be the first to share in the produce.
Thakthae lotawn te lamhma la a thaih a dang ham a kuek.
7 Understand what I am saying. For the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
Ka thui te yakming lah. A cungkuem dongah yakmingnah te Boeipa loh nang ham m'paek bitni.
8 Be mindful that the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the offspring of David, has risen again from the dead, according to my Gospel.
Kaimih kah olthangthen vanbangla David tiingan lamkah neh duek lamkah aka thoo Jesuh Khrih te poek.
9 I labor in this Gospel, even while chained like an evildoer. But the Word of God is not bound.
Te ham te laihmuh bangla thongtlak hilah ka patang dae Pathen kah Olka tah pinyen hlan.
10 I endure all things for this reason: for the sake of the elect, so that they, too, may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory. (aiōnios g166)
Te dongah a coelh rhoek ham te boeih ka ueh. Te daengah ni khangnah te amih loh dungyan thangpomnah neh Khrih Jesuh ah a dang uh van eh. (aiōnios g166)
11 It is a faithful saying: that if we have died with him, we will also live with him.
He ol he a uepom ta. N'duek atah n'hing puei van ni ta.
12 If we suffer, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he will also deny us.
N'ueh uh atah m'manghai uh van ni ta. N'hnawt uh van atah amah loh mamih he n'hnawt van ni.
13 If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful: he is not able to deny himself.
Amah a hnawt thai pawt dongah n'hnalval uh cakhaw anih tah uepom la naeh ngawn ta.
14 Insist on these things, testifying before the Lord. Do not be contentious about words, for this is useful for nothing but the subversion of listeners.
He rhoek he thoelh pah. Pathen hmaiah naenam pawt ham kang uen. A hoeikhang ham pawt he aka ya rhoek kah pocinah ham ni te.
15 Be solicitous in the task of presenting yourself before God as a proven and unashamed worker who has handled the Word of Truth correctly.
Oltak olka te aka paekhlae, aka birhih pawh bibikung tih namah te Pathen taengah ueppang koi la pai hamla haam lah.
16 But avoid profane or empty talk. For these things advance one greatly in impiety.
Tedae a rhonging kah olhong te rhael, hlangrhong khuila muep cungphoek uh ve.
17 And their word spreads like a cancer: among these are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
Amih kah olka te khaw hmapuek manrhaicak bangla cet ni. Te khuiah Hymenaeus neh Philetu om rhoi.
18 who have fallen away from the truth by saying that the resurrection is already complete. And so they have subverted the faith of certain persons.
Amih rhoi loh oltak te a hlihloeh sak rhoi tih thohkoepnah om coeng a ti rhoi. Te vaengah hlangvang kah tangnah te a palet rhoi.
19 But the firm foundation of God remains standing, having this seal: the Lord knows those who are his own, and all who know the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.
Tedae Pathen kah khoengim tah khangmai la pai. Hekah kutnoek aka om dongah amah kah la aka om rhoek te Boeipa loh aming. Te dongah Boeipa ming aka phoei boeih long tah boethae lamloh nong saeh.
20 But, in a large house, there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also those of wood and of clay; and certainly some are held in honor, but others in dishonor.
Tahae kah im puei ah sui neh caben hnopai bueng pawt tih thing neh diklai umam khaw om. Te dongah a ngen tah thangpomnah ham om dae a tloe te tah yahpohnah la om.
21 If anyone, then, will have cleansed himself from these things, he shall be a vessel held in honor, sanctified and useful to the Lord, prepared for every good work.
Te dongah khat khat loh he lamkah amah a cilpoe atah boeikung kah a congpang koi neh bibi then boeih ham a hmoel tih a ciim thangpomnah hnopai la om ni.
22 So then, flee from the desires of your youth, yet truly, pursue justice, faith, hope, charity, and peace, along with those who call upon the Lord from a pure heart.
Te dongah cadongcaloe kah hoehhamnah te rhaelrham tak lamtah duengnah, tangnah, lungnah, thinko a caih la Boeipa aka phoei rhoek neh rhoeprhoinah te huul lah.
23 But avoid foolish and undisciplined questions, for you know that these produce strife.
Tedae aka ang neh angvawk kah olpungnah te hnawt lamtah rhalthohnah ni a saii uh tila ming lah.
24 For the servant of the Lord must not be contentious, but instead he must be meek toward everyone, teachable, patient,
Te dongah Boeipa kah sal loh hnueih ham a kuek moenih. Tedae a cungkuem ham kodo la khala neh ueh ham a kuek.
25 correcting with self-restraint those who resist the truth. For at any time God may give them repentance, so as to recognize the truth,
Thimkalh rhoek muelhtuetnah neh toel mai. Amih te Pathen loh oltak mingnah dongla yutnah khaw a paek khaming.
26 and then they may recover from the snares of the devil, by whom they are held captive at his will.
Te daengah ni amah loh amah kongaih la a tuuk khaw rhaithae kah thaang lamloh a sae uh eh.
