1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of God our Savior, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
Seng Pangte Rangte jengkhaap jun ih Jisu Kristo seng laalomte wah kaamwah Pool jiin nawa arah le ah—
2 to Timotheus—genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our 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 According as I exhorted you to remain in Ephesus—I going on to Macedonia—that you might charge certain [ones] not to teach any other thing,
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 nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than [the] stewardship of God which [is] in faith.
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 And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of unhypocritical faith,
Arah jengdang hesot hemat abah minchan seng ten nawa ih dong hala, nyia thung atak phanjangjang, erah dam ih seng hanpi loong ah.
6 from which certain [men], having swerved, turned aside to vain discourse,
Mararah mina ih erah loong ah thiinhaat rum ano thaangmuh tiitwaan ah moong phoongwaan rumla.
7 willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they confidently assert,
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 and we have known that the Law [is] good, if anyone may use it lawfully;
Seng ih jat ehi Hootthe ah ese, mamet maaktheng ah erah jat ih bah ah.
9 having known this, that law is not set for a righteous man, but for lawless and insubordinate persons, ungodly and sinners, impious and profane, murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, manslayers,
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 whoremongers, homosexuals, enslavers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is adverse to sound doctrine,
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 according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.
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 And I give thanks to Him who enabled me—Christ Jesus our Lord—that He reckoned me steadfast, having put [me] to the ministry,
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 who before was speaking slander, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did [it] in 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 and the grace of our Lord exceedingly abounded, with faith and love that [is] in 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 The word [is] steadfast, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am first;
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 but because of this I found kindness, that Jesus Christ might first show forth all long-suffering in me, for a pattern of those about to believe on Him to continuous 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 And to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, [is] honor and glory through the ages of the ages! 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 I commit to you this charge, child Timotheus, according to the prophecies that went before on you, that you may war in them the good warfare,
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 having faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away, made shipwreck concerning the faith,
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 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.
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.
