1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the command of God, our Saviour, and Christ Jesus, 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 the faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus 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 besought thee, when I set out for Macedonia, to remain still in Ephesus, that thou mightst charge certain persons not to teach other 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 nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which occasion disputes rather than promote God's dispensation which is in faith, [[so I do now.]]

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 Now the end of the commandment is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned;

Ahin ka tinak hlü ta, mlung angcim, ngcimkia ksingnak ja jumeinak kcange üngkhyüh lawkia mhläkphyanak a ve law vaia ni.

6 from which some swerving turned aside to vain babbling,

Khyang avange cun ahine üngkhyüh nglat u lü amdanga ngthähnak am ami lam mkhyühki he.

7 desiring to be teachers of the Law, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they 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 a man use it lawfully,

Thum cun sumeinak vai üng mi sumei cun dawki tia mi ksingkie.

9 knowing this, that the Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers,

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 whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to the 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 glorious gospel 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 gave me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, that he accounted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, t

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 though formerly I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a doer of outrage; but 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 and the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

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 True is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus 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 But for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me especially Christ Jesus might show forth all his long-suffering, as an example to those who should hereafter believe in him to life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)

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 g166)

17 Now to the King eternal, the imperishable, invisible, only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

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 g165)

18 This charge I commit to thee, my child Timothy, in accordance with the directions of the prophets before given to thee, that thou mayst in them war 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 having faith, and a good conscience, which some thrusting away made 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.
