< 1 Timothy 1 >
1 Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Messiah Yeshua our hope;
Mi äpeia Khritaw Jesuh ja mi küikyan Bawi Pamhnama khü, Khritaw Jesuha ngsä Pawluh üngkhyüh ni —
2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
Jumnak üng ka ca kcang Timotia veia: Mi Pa Pamhnam ja mi Bawipa Khritaw Jesuh naw bäkhäknak, mpyenmseinak ja dimdeihnak ning pe se.
3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain people not to teach a different doctrine,
Maketawnih hne da ka ceh üng ka ning cüka kba Ephet mlüha na awma vai ka hlüeiki. Khyang avang naw akhye mcuhmthehnake ami jah mthei cän jah him kawm ti.
4 neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause speculation, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith—
Jumeinak üng mi ksinga Pamhnama bü cun am khüi u lü jah ngcuhngkaihsak khai khuikam ja pakhui tähnake cän ami jah hawih vaia jah mtheh bä.
5 but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith;
Ahin ka tinak hlü ta, mlung angcim, ngcimkia ksingnak ja jumeinak kcange üngkhyüh lawkia mhläkphyanak a ve law vaia ni.
6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;
Khyang avange cun ahine üngkhyüh nglat u lü amdanga ngthähnak am ami lam mkhyühki he.
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.
Pamhnama thum jah mthei hlü u lüpi, mkhühüpnak üng a mi pyena mawnge ja amimäta ngthukhyü pi am ksing u.
8 But we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully,
Thum cun sumeinak vai üng mi sumei cun dawki tia mi ksingkie.
9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers,
Acuna thume cun khyang kdawa phäh am kya, lüpi thum lümkanki he, khyangksee, Pamhnam am ksing lü mkhyekatkie, hjawkkhah ning ja Ngmüimkhya lam am ksingkie, ami nupa hnimki he ja khyang hnimki he,
10 for the sexually immoral, for men who have sexual relations with men, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to sound teaching;
ami vecawh am dawki he, hüipawmkie, khyang pinmankie, hleihlak lü cangkia mcuhmthehnak kpet lü akhyea saksi jah pekie ja akdaw ngthei ngkhawngnak üng ngsukhyekie ni.
11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Acuna mtheinak cun Pamhnama hlüngtainak ja jodawnak cun thangkdaw üngkhyüh kya lü acun hin sang khaia kei üng a na ap ni.
12 And I thank him who enabled me, Messiah Yeshua our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;
Ka khüibinak üng ngjuktha na pekia mi Bawipa Khritaw Jesuh cun ka jenaki. Ania khut bi khaia ka lawingkawihkia ngai lü a na mcawna phäh ka jenak ni.
13 although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
Ahlana ani cun mkhuimkha lü ksekha na lü am adawa mawng ka pyen khawi kyawki. I ka pawh käh ksing lü jumnak am tak ham üngpi Pamhnam naw na mpyeneiki.
14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Messiah Yeshua.
Khritaw Jesuh üng mi yümmatnaka kyaki mhläkphyanak ja jumnak cun kei üng na pe lü mi Bawipa naw a bäkhäknak akda keia khana buiki.
15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Messiah Yeshua came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
Khritaw Jesuh khawmdeka a law hin mkhyeki he jah küikyan khaia lawki ti hin dokham lü jum kcang vai ti cun akcang pyena kyaki. Kei cun ami ksunga akse säih ni,
16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Yeshua the Messiah might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for everlasting life. (aiōnios )
lüpi Pamhnam naw kei a na mpyenei hin Khritaw Jesuha mlung saünak kei üng mdanki. Akse säiha mkhyeki he hnua jumei law u lü sak ngsäi xünnak ami yah vaia msuimcäpnaka ka kyaki. (aiōnios )
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
Pamhnam mat däka kyaki, am thi thei lü am hmuh theia kyaki angsäia sangpuxanga thawnki ania veia hlüngtainak ja mküimtonak am angläta ve se! Amen. (aiōn )
18 This instruction I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;
Ka ca Timoti aw, ahina ngthupet cun nang üng ka ning ap ni, a hin cun ajana sahmae naw ami pyen kawia ngthukhyüa kyaki ni. Acäna ngthukhyüe cän akdawa na ngtukahnak vaia likcima jah sumei lü,
19 holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith;
na jumnak kcüng lü na cungaihnak pi vai kawm. Khyang avang naw ami ngcungihnak käh ngai u lü ami jumeinak kpyakie ni.
20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
Acune ksunga Himenias ja Aleksanda cun Khawyama johita k'uma jah ap lü ka jah mkhuimkha ni; ahin naw Pamhnam ami hmakatsak ami hawih vaia jah mthei khai ni.
