< 2 Timothy 4 >

1 I command you therefore before God and Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his Kingdom:
Amah dang nawh a qam a pha awh, thlakthi ingkaw thlanghqing awi ak deng kawi, Khawsa ingkaw Jesu Khrih a haiawh, ve ak awi ve ni yn nyng:
2 preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.
Awi ve khypyi lah; a tym awh awm a tym am awh awm a oepchoeh na awm poepa lah: tlaih lah, toel nawhtaw tha pe lah – kawdungnaak ing ngaihtaak doena cuk am kik lah.
3 For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts;
Amak thym cawngnaak ingkaw thlang ing ang oek qunaak khawnghi ce law kaw. A mimah a ngaih sainaak ham ak thak lup lup aming haakhqi ing aming zaak awi kqawnnaak aham cawngpyikungkhqi khawzah ce cawi a khel kawm uh.
4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to myths.
Awitak ama ming zaaknaak aham aming haakhqi ce byp unawh syn awi mailai ngainaak aham aming haakhqi keng kawm uh.
5 But you be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
Cehlai nang ingtaw, ik-oeih soepkep awh ak leek na poek nawhtaw, kyinaakkhqi ce yh lah, awithang khypyinaak bibi ce bi nawh, na sai hly kawi bibi boeih ce ak soep na bi lah.
6 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
Ikawtih kai taw awk hly kawi ik-oeih nawn amyihna hawk li na awm hawh nyng, ka cehnaak hly a tym awm zoe hawh hy.
7 I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
Qaal tuknaak leek ce tuk coeng hawh nyng, taaqunaak awm coeng hawh nyng, cangnaak ce tu khak hawh nyng.
8 From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
Tuhawhtaw dyngnaak sui lumyk ce kai aham a oepchoeh na awm hawh hy, awidengkung thlak dyng, Bawipa ing ce a khawnghi awh kai ce ni pe kaw, kai doeng amni pe kaw, amah a lawnaak ak lamtoen thlangkhqi boeih a venawh awm pe lawt kaw.
9 Be diligent to come to me soon,
Ka venawh ang tawnna na lawnaak aham hlah lah,
10 for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
Ikawtih Dema ing khawmdek ve a lungnaak bet dawngawh ni cehta nawh Thesalonika khaw na cet hawh hy. Krescen khaw Galatia qam na cet nawh, Tita awm Dalmatia qam na cet hawh hy. (aiōn g165)
11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
Luka doeng ni ka venawh ak awm hy. Marka ce law pyi kawp ti, anih ce ka bibinaak awh anik bawmkung na awm hy.
12 But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
Tukika ce Ephesa khaw na tyi nyng.
13 Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.
Na law awh Troas khaw awh Karpa a im awh ka cehtaak angki dung ce haw law, cekcoengawh ka cauk, awipui na mehvyn cauk ce haw law bai.
14 Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works,
Thi ak deep Alexander ing tlawhnaak ni pehy. A ik-oeih sainaak awh Bawipa ing kut thung seh.
15 of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words.
Nang ingawm anih ce ngaihtaak doena oelh law, kawtih ningnih ak awih kqawn ve anih ing oelh hy.
16 At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
Cang ka lawhnaak kak kqawn awh, kai anik dyih pyi u pynoet awm am law hy, thlang boeih ing ni cehta uhy. A mingmih ak khanawh seetnaak koeh pha seh.
17 But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the non-Jewish people might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
Cehlai kai ak caming awithang ve khypyi khawnghak na a awm nawh Gentelkhqi boeih ing aming zaak thainaak aham Bawipa ce ka venawh dyi nawh tha ni pehy. Sendeih am khak khui awhkawng kai ce ni loet sak hy.
18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Anik cuhkung ik-oeih amak leek a kut khui awhkawng Bawipa ing ni hul kawmsaw ak khawk khan na a ding a syk na ni ceh pyi kaw. Amah a venawh thangleeknaak kumqui dyna awm seh. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
Priscilla, Akuila ingkaw Onesifora ipkhui kaw ce kut tlaih law.
20 Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left Trophimus at Miletus, ill.
Erasta ce Korin khaw awh awm nawh, Tqopfima ce a tlawh dawngawh Mileta awh cehta nyng.
21 Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
Chikca a pha hlanawh vena a pha lawnaak aham tha lo law lah. Eubula, Puden, Linu, Klaudia ingkaw koeinaakhqi boeih ing kut ni tlaih uhy.
22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
Bawipa taw nang myihla awh ce awm seh. Am qeennaak na venawh awm seh.
