2 Timothy 2
1 Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Ka ca, nanga phäha Khritaw Jesuh am mi yümatnaka kyaki bäkhäknak üng ngkhängpanga.
2 And the things which thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
Saksi khawhah maa ka pyena mtheimthangnak, na ngjaka mtheimthangnak he cän la lü khyang akce pi jah mthei be thei khaia khyange am jah ap siha.
3 Suffer hardship with [me], as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Khritaw Jesuha sitihkia yekapa kba khuikhanak cän khameia.
4 No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of [this] life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
Yekap cun naw ani mtheh lü ngthupeki angvai a jesak vaia akce bilawhnak üng kcaw lü i pi am bi khawi.
5 And if also a man contend in the games, he is not crowned, except he have contended lawfully.
Ngcamei lü dawngkia khyang naw pi mcuhmthenake am a jah läk üngta ngkhyengnak cun am yah khai ni.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be the first to partake of the fruits.
Ngnüngseng lü lai biki naw akcüka a ah cun taeiki ni.
7 Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things.
I ka pyen ti hin ngaia, ahin avan na ksingnak vaia Bawipa naw khyaih khawhki ni.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel:
Thangkdaw sang lü ka jah mtheia kba Davita mjüa kyaki thihnak üngkhyüh tho beki Jesuh Khritaw cän süma.
9 wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.
Isetiakyaküng, Thankdaw ka sanga phäha mpyukeia mäiha khunnak khamei lü ka khuikhaki ni. Lüpi Pamhnama ngthu cun khunnak am khamei thei,
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
acunakyase, angläta hlüngtainak law lü Khritaw Jesuh üngkhyüh lawkia küikyannak ami yah vaia phäha, anaküt hin Pamhnama xü khyangea phäha ka khamei ni. (aiōnios g166)
11 Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him:
Ahin cun akcanga pyen ni: “Ani am mi thih üngta, ani üng mi xüng khai.
12 if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us:
Msu lü mi khamei üngta, ani am mi up hnga khai. Ani mi ma üngta, ani naw pi jah ma hnga khai.
13 if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself.
Am mi sitih üngpi, ani cun sitih nglätki, isetiakyaküng amät naw amät am hmakatsak thei.”
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging [them] in the sight of the Lord, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hear.
Ahina mcuhmthehnak hin na khyange am jah sümsak lü ngcuhngkaihnak vaia khyübe käh ami pawh vaia, Pamhnama maa jah mcäi kawm pi. Ahine naw am jah dawsak lü cungaikie jah pyaksaki ni.
15 Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.
Pamhnama ngthungtaka mawng cangkia jah mthei lü, khut biki naw a khut käh ngkeei lü, a pawha kba Pamhnama hmaia ümpanak na yah vaia na khyaih khawha pawha.
16 But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
Pamhnam üngkhyüh jah thuksaki, khawmdek üng sängei lü am danga ngthähnake üngka naw akthuka vea.
17 and their word will eat as doth a gangrene: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
Acunea mtheimthangnak hin naw mi pumsa jah eiawki mnehmnanga mäi ni a law ve. Himenias ja Philetuh xawi naw ahi bang jah mtheiki xawi ni.
18 men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some.
Ani xawi naw ngthungtaka suilam hawih ni lü mi thawhnak be cun ve pängki ti lü jumeikie avanga jumeinak cun jah uplatsaki xawi ni.
19 Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.
Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw a taka ngkhängkia tüneinak lung cun am ngsünngkyet; hina ngthue cun acuna khana, “Bawipa naw a kae cun jah ksingki” cunkäna “Bawipa ka kanaki tikia khyang cun am dawki bilawhnak üngkhyüh nglat yah khai,” tia ng’yuki.
20 Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some unto honour, and some unto dishonour.
Imnua k'uma kbee ja k’ame amjü küm veki: avang cun ngui ja xüi am ami jah pyan, akcee cun thing ja mdek am ami jah pyan, avang cun pawipyang üng jah sumei lü avang cun ami jah sumei sawxat ni.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, meet for the master’s use, prepared unto every good work.
Akse üngkhyüh amimät ngcimsaki cun adawnaka hnün üng sumei khaie, isetiakyaküng, ami mahpa naw akdaw jah pawhnak vaia jah sumei lü ami ngapei vaia ngsäm yah khaie ni.
22 But flee youthful lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Cawngpyanga hlükaweinak cän hawih lü ngsungpyunnak, jumeinak, mhläkphyanak ja dim’yenak, mlungkyawng ngcimki he am atänga Bawipaa kpüinak yah vaia ngkhüngkonake cän jah mtuneia.
23 But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes.
Ngtunngvawknak üng jah kphakia amdang ngcuhngkaihnak ja am ngtähngkehkia ngkaw üngkhyüh akthuka vea.
24 And the Lord’s servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing,
Bawipaa mpyaa na kyaka mäiha nang naw ngtunngvawknak am pawh yahki. Nang cun khyang daw ja a mlungmsaüki sajaa kba khyang naküta vei na daw yah khai.
25 in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth,
Nang cun ning ngcam püiki na mtheh üng na hniphnawi yah khai, ahin cun Pamhnama hlüeia kya lü ami cun ngjut be lü ngthungtak cun ksing law khai ni.
26 and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by the Lord’s servant unto the will of God.
Khawyai naw ani kcangnak khaia a jah pinmane cun lätlang law u lü akdawkyaa ksing law khaie ni.
