1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment 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 unto Timothy, my true child in 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 exhorted thee to tarry at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain men 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 give heed to fables and endless genealogies, the which minister questionings, rather than a dispensation of God which is in faith; [so do I 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 But the end of the charge 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 things some having swerved have turned aside unto 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 whereof they confidently 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 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
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 fornicators, for abusers of themselves with men, for menstealers, for liars, for false swearers, and if there be any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;
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 gospel 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 I thank him that enabled me, [even] Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to [his] 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 though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit 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 abounded exceedingly 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 Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, 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 howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ shew forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them which should hereafter believe on him unto eternal life. (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 unto the King eternal, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, [be] honour 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 unto thee, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that by them thou mayest 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 holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust from them 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 unto 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.
