2 Timothy 3

1 Be aware that there will be troubled times in the last days.

Samthun et an hethoon sa doh saapoot ah rapne ih chikrok ah.

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.

Mina loong ah nyamrat angrum ah, nyamnyook angrum ah, engaampo erum ah, nyia hahuung doh ngaam rum ah; neng ah ekaanju mina ang ah, nengnuh nengwah jeng lachaatte angrum ah, jengse laraate mina angrum ah, nyia thooroom lajatte angrum ah;

3 Heartless and unforgiving, they'll commit slander and have no self-control. Brutal people who hate what's good,

neng doh minchan amuk ang ah, tenthet muh angrum ah, mithet haatte, changrookte angrum ah nyia micho mijo angrum ah; neng ih ese ah echiik et rum ah;

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.

mih mokwaante angrum ah, lih ah ngah lathunte angrum ah, nyia ngaampook ngaamsaang angrum ah; Rangte nang ih neng tenroon theng asuh seechoh rum ah;

5 They may give an outward impression of being religious, but they don't actually believe it works. Stay away from these people!

neng ih seng thooroom ah rangkhoh nah luulu kap rum ano, amiisak chaan ah thaaju et rum ah. Erah likhiik mina jiin nawa haloh ih tong an.

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.

Neng loong dung dowa ararah ah mih nok ni karum leh rangdah ni neng thetre thoi chamnaang tongte nyia neng tenthun jaatrep ethih ni thun ano larook lata ih tongte minuh loong ah neng lakmong nah thiin rum ah,

7 These women are always trying to learn but they're never able to understand the truth!

erah minuh loong ah ih saarookwih ese ah nyoot suh taat ram rumla ang abah uh neng ih amiisak ah babah uh tajat rumka.

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.

Jens nyi Jambres ih uh Moses tiit daan nyuuta ah likhiik, arah mih loong ih uh amiisak ah edaan et rumha— erah miloong thung atak ah naririh tah angka nyia neng tuungmaang uh taje rumka.

9 But they won't get far. Their stupidity will be obvious to everyone, just like that of Jannes and Jambres.

Enoothong neng ah haloh nah tajen soon rumka, tumeah neng mathan thungko ah warep ih tup rum ah. Jens nyia Jambres suh mamah angta erah likhiik angta.

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—

Enoothong an ih bah ngah ih nyoot hala ah phan et hu, nga reeraang pakna, nyia nga roidong thoilam ah phan et hu; nga hanpi ah thoijat et hu, nga ih naanhang ah jat et hu, nga mongnook ah jat et hu, nga ih naanhang ah jat et hu,

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.

nga siiwi chamnaang ah jat et hu, nyia nga khoirok ah jat et hu. Entiook, Ikonium nyia Listra ni tumjih angtang loong ah thoontang ejat hu, echo ejih et siiwi chamnaang rum tahang adi mamet naantang rah ah! Rangte ih thong ba erah loong dowa puipang tahang.

12 Of course it's true that everyone who wants to live a life devoted to God in Christ Jesus will experience persecution,

Warep mina o Jisu damdi roongroop ano heh roidong ah rangte menjat lam ih tongsong suh nookla loong abah siiwi chamnaang et ah;

13 while wicked people and frauds will do well, going from bad to worse, deceiving others and deceiving themselves too.

eno ethih nyia ese likhiik ih diiphoonte mina loong ah ethih nawa ethithoon ih hoon rum ah, neng teeteewah nyia mihoh loong ah riim mokwaan rum ano ah.

14 But you must hold onto the things you've learned and are convinced are true. You know who taught you.

Enoothong anbah, mamet nyoot taha jun ih amiisak tiit asuh ban hanpi ruh etheng. An suh nyootte ah o loong ang rumta an ih jat et hu,

15 From your childhood you've known the holy Scriptures which can give you understanding for salvation by trusting in Christ Jesus.

eno noodek tok dowa loong ah an ih samthun et hu, Rangteele Esa dowa ih thungse takmi Jisu Kristo suh hanpi jun ih khopiiroidong lam jen suikoh halu rah ah.

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.

Thoontang Rangteele loong ah Rangte tak alak, erah loong ah amiisak tiit nyootsoot muidoh, emoongtaang eah doh kanja suh, ethet eah doh huk punbaat suh, nyia epun ih songtong thoilam loong ah hukbaat kotmui tokdoh maaktheng ang ah,

17 This is how God provides a thorough preparation for those who work for him to accomplish all that's good.

eno juuba o Rangte mootkaatte loong ah jaatrep ese ah jen moh suh rapne ejat nyia lathoom laram ang rum ah.
