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,
Mamih kah khangkung Pathen neh mamih kah ngaiuepnah Jesuh Khrih kah olpaek vanbangla Jesuh Khrih kah caeltueih Paul loh,
2 to Timotheus—genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!
tangnah dongah ka ca tak Timothy taengah kan pat. Pa Pathen neh mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih lamkah lungvatnah, rhennah, ngaimongnah om saeh.
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,
Makedonia la ka caeh vaengah Ephisa ah aka om nang te kan uen. Te daengah ni khat khat loh a thuituen tholh pawt ham khaw, cil neh aka puh rhuirhong hnatung pawt ham na uen thai eh.
4 nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than [the] stewardship of God which [is] in faith.
Te rhoek te tangnah dongah Pathen kah hnokhoemnah lakah olpungnah la lat a coeng sak.
5 And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of unhypocritical faith,
Tedae oluen dongkah a cuinah tah thinko a caih lamkah lungnah, aka then mingcimnah neh hmantang kah tangnah te ni.
6 from which certain [men], having swerved, turned aside to vain discourse,
He lamkah hlangvang tah hlihloeh tih olhongpaika la mael uh.
7 willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they confidently assert,
Saya la om ham a ngaih uh. Tedae a thui te khaw yakming uh pawt tih ba khaw a cak sak uh moenih.
8 and we have known that the Law [is] good, if anyone may use it lawfully;
Tedae khat khat long ni a longim la a rhoidoeng atah olkhueng tah then tila m'ming uh.
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,
Aka dueng ham olkhueng he khueh pawh tila m'ming. Tedae lailak rhoek neh thinthah rhoek ham, baltalh rhoek neh hlangtholh rhoek, aka cimpawt rhoek neh aka rhonging rhoek, a napa aka ngawn neh a manu aka ngawn, hlang aka ngawn,
10 whoremongers, homosexuals, enslavers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is adverse to sound doctrine,
Hlanghalh rhoek, uicuk rhoek, hlang aka yoi, laithae, aka basa neh aka soep thuituennah te a tloe la aka kingkalh boeih ham ni a om.
11 according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.
Yoethen Pathen kah thangpomnah vanbangla tekah olthangthen te kai m'paek coeng.
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,
Kai aka thaphoh mamih kah Khrih Jesuh Boeipa taengah uemonah ka khueh. Kai he uepom la m'poek dongah bibi la ng'khueh.
13 who before was speaking slander, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did [it] in unbelief,
Lamhma la ska soehsal tih aka hnaemtaekkung neh hnaephnapkung la ka om. Tedae hnalvalnah dongah mangvawt la ka saii oeh dongah n'rhen.
14 and the grace of our Lord exceedingly abounded, with faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus.
Mamih Boeipa kah lungvatnah tah Khrih Jesuh ah tangnah, lungnah neh pawk long.
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;
Ol tah uepom neh hlang boeih kah a doe tueng la om. Te dongah ni Khrih Jesuh tah hlangtholh khang ham Diklai la ha pawk. Amih khuiah kai tah tanglue la ka om coeng.
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)
Tedae he nen he n'rhen coeng. Te daengah ni Khrih Jesuh tah thinsennah boeih neh ka khuiah a tueng lamhma eh. Amah soah tangnah ham aka cai rhoek kah dungyan hingnah ham a ninglam pakhat la om sak ham ni. (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)
Tahae ah kumhal kah Manghai, aka kuei, hmuhmueh Pathen bueng te hinyahnah neh thangpomnah kumhal kah kumhal duela om saeh. 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,
Camoe Timothy nang te he oluen he kan tloeng. Nang soah tonghma ol bangla ka lamhma sak coeng. Te daengah ni te nen te aka then vathohnah te na vathoh thai eh.
19 having faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away, made shipwreck concerning the faith,
Tangnah neh aka then mingcimnah te pom lah. Te te hlangvang loh a tueihno uh dongah tangnah sangpho a poci pauh.
20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.
Amih khuiah Hymenaeus neh Alexander nuen rhoi van. Amih rhoi te Satan taengah ka voeih daengah ni ueih rhoi vetih a soehsal pawt eh.
