2 Timothy 3
1 Be aware that there will be troubled times in the last days.
Tedae he he ming lah. Khohnin hnukkhueng ah te tah a rhai tue pai ni.
2 People will love themselves and love money. They will be boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and without God in their lives.
Hlang he pahuul, naivoei, hlangoek, buhueng aka pom, aka soehsal, manu napa taengah aka lokhak, aka noihhai, aka tanghnong,
3 Heartless and unforgiving, they'll commit slander and have no self-control. Brutal people who hate what's good,
kotalh, thunkha thunhling, rhaithae, aka khoeihveet, mangkhak, aka muen,
4 they will betray others and be totally thoughtless. They are absurdly full of themselves, living so much for pleasure that they don't care about loving God.
hlangyoi, marhu marhat, aka koevoei, Pathen lungnah lakah hawlthak aka coeng bet,
5 They may give an outward impression of being religious, but they don't actually believe it works. Stay away from these people!
Hingcimnah lungsak a khueh dae te hingcimnah kah thaomnah aka hnawt la om uh ni. Te vaengah hekah rhoek he nong tak.
6 They're the kind of people that slip into homes and take control of vulnerable women who are burdened down by the guilt of sin and distracted by all kinds of desires.
Amih lakli kah aka om rhoek te im la yuel uh tih hoehhamnah cungkuem loh a payawk uh dongah tholh neh a vueinan huta thae te a sol uh.
7 These women are always trying to learn but they're never able to understand the truth!
A cang uh vawptawp dae oltak kah mingnah te pha thai uh pawh.
8 Just like Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, these teachers also oppose the truth. They are people with corrupted minds whose supposed trust in God is a lie.
Te dongah Jenne neh Jambres loh Moses a kamkaih rhoi bangla he rhoek long kaw oltak te a kamkaih uh van. A lungbuei poci tih tangnah dongah aka lolhmaih hlang rhoek ni.
9 But they won't get far. Their stupidity will be obvious to everyone, just like that of Jannes and Jambres.
Tedae taoe koep cungphoek mahpawh. Te rhoi kah a om van bangla amih kah a anglat khaw a cungkuem taengah phaeng phoe bitni.
10 But you know all about my teaching and behavior, and my aim in life. You know my trust in God and my love. You know what I've had to endure—
Tedae nang tah kai kah thuituennah, khosak rhamsak, mangtaengnah, tangnah, thinsennah, lungnah, uehnah, patangnah, hnaemtaeknah te na thuep.
11 how I've been persecuted and what I've suffered. You know what happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—the troubles I had and how the Lord rescued me from all of them.
Te te kai hamla Antiok ah, Ikonium ah, Lustra ah thoeng. Hnaemtaeknah te ka ueh vaengah ka cungkuem ah Boeipa loh n'hlawt.
12 Of course it's true that everyone who wants to live a life devoted to God in Christ Jesus will experience persecution,
Te dongah Khrih Jesuh ah hingcim la hing aka ngaih boeih te tah a hnaemtaek uh ni.
13 while wicked people and frauds will do well, going from bad to worse, deceiving others and deceiving themselves too.
Tedae bothae hlang neh laithae rhoek tah hlang a rhaithi uh doeah amamih rhaithi la om tih a thae la cungpoeh uh ni.
14 But you must hold onto the things you've learned and are convinced are true. You know who taught you.
Nang tah na cang tih na ngaitang dongah te naeh lah. U taengkah na cang khaw ming lah.
15 From your childhood you've known the holy Scriptures which can give you understanding for salvation by trusting in Christ Jesus.
A cim cabu he cahni lamloh na ming coeng te ta. Te long te Khrih Jesuh ah tangnah rhangneh khangnah dongla nang n'cuek sak thai.
16 All Scripture inspired by God is useful for teaching, for confronting what is wrong, for setting us straight, and for telling us what is right.
Cacim boeih he Pathen kah hil la om tih thuituennah ham, toelthamnah ham, tlaihvongnah ham, duengnah dongah hlinsainah ham hoeikhang.
17 This is how God provides a thorough preparation for those who work for him to accomplish all that's good.
Te nen ni Pathen kah hlang loh hlangsoep la a om vetih bibi then te boeih a cuum sak eh.
