1 Timothy 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus appointed by the authority of God our Savior and Christ Jesus, who is our hope.
Seng Pangte Rangte jengkhaap jun ih Jisu Kristo seng laalomte wah kaamwah Pool jiin nawa arah le ah—
2 I'm sending it to you Timothy. You are my true son because of your trust in God. May you have grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Hanpiite jun ih amiisak nga sah, Timothi suh: Seng loong Wah Rangte nyia Jisu Kristo seng Teesu ih an suh tenthet, minchan, nyia semroongroong ah toom koho.
3 When I was on my way to Macedonia I asked you to stay behind in Ephesus, so that you could speak with those who teach false ideas and insist that they stop.
Ngah Mesidonia juungkhuung ko ih katang adi baat taha likhiik, amadoh uh an suh Ephisas samnuthung adoh tong uh ih baat hala. Erah ni maramarah mina ih tiitmoong banlam nyoot rumha, eno erah loong an ih tanghaam jaatjaat etheng.
4 They shouldn't concern themselves with legends and never-ending obsessions about ancestry. Such ideas only lead to pointless debates, instead of understanding God as we trust in him.
Neng suh baat rum uh teewah khiikkhi nyia wih ate men loong wootthaam baattaan ah eto toom et rum ah erah ih bah changrook jengdaan ba dongsiit ah, Rangte kaankoong hanpi jun ih mojih ah tabaam jen mothukka.
5 The reason why I insist on this is so we may have love that comes from a pure heart, from a clear conscience and sincere trust in God.
Arah jengdang hesot hemat abah minchan seng ten nawa ih dong hala, nyia thung atak phanjangjang, erah dam ih seng hanpi loong ah.
6 Some have deviated from these things, and have ended up talking nonsense.
Mararah mina ih erah loong ah thiinhaat rum ano thaangmuh tiitwaan ah moong phoongwaan rumla.
7 They have ambitions to be teachers of the law, but they have no idea what they're talking about or what they're so boldly announcing!
Neng ih Rangte Hootthe ah nyoot suh ram rumla, enoothong neng ih tumjih nyoot rumha neng teeteewah ih tasamjat rumka adoleh elang jaat eah ih nyoot rumha ah neng ih botseh tasamjat rumka.
8 Now we recognize that the law is good if people use it properly.
Seng ih jat ehi Hootthe ah ese, mamet maaktheng ah erah jat ih bah ah.
9 We also know that law isn't laid down for those who do what is good and right, but for those who are rebellious and ignore the law. It applies to people who have no use for God, who are sinful, who treat nothing as holy and are completely irreligious. It's for those who kill fathers and mothers, for murderers,
Seng ih ejat jaatjaat etheng, Hotthe ah ese mina loong raang ih tah angka, erah nang ih bah hootthe thet haatte nyia ehuh eleek, rangdah nyia rangmuh hasong mina loong raang ih, nyia chiiala adoleh thooroom lajatte loong raang ih, nengnuh nengwah tek haatte nyia mih tek haatte loong raang ih,
10 for those who are sexually immoral, homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, false witnesses—and anything else that's opposed to good teachings
mih damdoh roomjup matkapte raang ih, miwah ah miwah damdi, minuh ah minuh damdi muungtuungla loong raang, mih ething et putte raang ih, eleek tiitbaatte raang ih nyia emoong haaki tiitbaatte raang ih adoleh amiisak banlam tiit loong phaakiitte loong raang ih.
11 as determined by the wonderful good news of our blessed God which he entrusted to me.
Erah loong ah Rangte tiitkhaap nah choh ah, chaan aphaan nyia romseetam kotte Rangte ih erah Ruurang Ese ah ngah suh tumbaat thuk halang.
12 I'm just so grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord for the strength he's given me, and that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to work for him.
Nga ih Teesu Jisu Kristo suh lakookmi liihang, heh mootkaat raang ih ngah suh tathat kohang no ah. Ngah suh heh mootkaat nah jen pun mojih chaan ah kohang no nyia danpoon hangno lakookmi liihang,
13 Even though I used to insult God, and persecuted and abused God's people, God showed me mercy because of my ignorance and unbelief.
ehak di bah ngah ih heh suh ethih kah ih liitang nyia siiwi chamnaang angno dut haat etang. Enoothong Rangte ih ngah ah minchan et tahang tumeah nga heh suh lahanpi thang ih tumjih reetang rah tajat tang.
14 Our Lord in his grace filled me to overflowing with trust and love that comes from Christ Jesus.
Eno seng Teesu ih ngah suh lajen toobaat theng tenthet ah kotahang erah dam ih Jisu Kristo jiin nawa minchan nyia hanpi theng anep kotahang.
15 You can trust this saying that everyone should accept: “Christ Jesus came to this world to save sinners,” and I'm the worst of them.
Arah amiisak tiit seng ih kamkam et hanpiijih nyia thangjih: Kristo Jisu arah mongrep adi rangdah mina loong pangsuh ra taha. Erah mong dowa ethithoon rangdah mina ah ngah,
16 For this reason I was shown mercy—since I'm the worst sinner, Jesus Christ could demonstrate his infinite patience as an example to those who choose to trust in him and gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
enoothong rangdah mina ang ang abah uh Jisu Kristo ih heh minchan ah nga sak ni noisok jatahang, eno erah minchan ah mihoh loong ih nyootsok hangno hanpi rum ah, eno neng ah lathoon theng roidong ah chorum ah. (aiōnios g166)
17 Honor and glory forever and ever to the eternal King, the immortal, invisible, and only God! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Babah uh lathoonka luungwang, latekte nyia latuptheng, Rangte heh luulu—asuh roitang roijang ih soongsap theng nyia phoongpha etheng! Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 These are the instructions I want to give to you, Timothy, my son, following the prophecies that brought you this far, so you can fight the good fight!
Nga sah, Timothi, Ngah suh jaakhoni khowah loong ih an tiit banbaat rum tahang jun ih an suh arah jengdang loong ah baat kohala. Erah jengdang loong ah lang apah dakbi et maak uno ba raamui jen mui uh,
19 Keep on trusting God and make sure you have a clear conscience. Some have refused to do this and have shipwrecked their trust in God.
eno an tuungmaang nyia thung atak ah phanjangjang et thun uh. Mararah ih nengthung nengtak ni epun angla ah lakap thang ih neng tuungmaang ah thet haat rumha.
20 Hymenaeus and Alexander are such people, and I have “handed them over to Satan” to teach them not to misrepresent God.
Erah dung dowa ah Himenus nyia Alekjender, erah wanyi ah ngah ih Soitaan lak ni konyu angno chamnaang thuk hang; eno nyi ih erah dowa ih ba jatnyu ah Rangte jeng abah ladaanjih boh ah eah eno kok toohaat nyu ah.
