1 Timothy 4
1 Howbeit, the Spirit, expressly saith—that, in later seasons, some will revolt from the faith, giving heed unto seducing spirits, and unto teachings of demons—
Ngmüimkhya naw angsinga a pyen ta law khaia kcüne üng khyang avange naw jumnak hawih u lü ngmüimkhya k’hleie jah kcang na u lü khawyaiea mtheimthange cun läklam law khaie ni.
2 in hypocrisy, speaking falsehood, [of demons] cauterised in their own conscience, —
Hleihlakiea tuivetnak am ahina ngtheinak cun ngthang hüki, ami ksingkhyapnake thi lü mthi ngling naw jah uiawngki.
3 Forbidding to marry, [commanding] to abstain from foods which, God, created to be received with thanksgiving by them who believe and personally know the truth;
Acuna khyange naw akhyesawh calaknak ja eiawk avang käh ei vaia jah mtheikie. Jenak mtheh lü ktaiyü käna ei vaia Pamhnam naw acuna eiawk cun a mhnünmceng ni, acun hin ngthungtak ksing lawki he ja jumeikiea phäh ni.
4 Because, every creature of God, is good, and nothing to be cast away, if, with thanksgiving, it be received, —
Pamhnama mhnünmceng naküt hin dawkia kyase mah vai i am ve, lüpi jenak mtheh lü ktaiyünak am dokham vai ni,
5 For it is hallowed by the word of God and intercession,
isetiakyaküng Pamhnama ngthu ja ktaiyünak cun Pamhnam naw dokhameiki ni.
6 These things, submitting to the brethren, thou shall be, a noble, minister of Christ Jesus, nourishing thyself with the words of the faith, and of the noble teaching which thou hast closely studied.
Namät naw ngmüimkhya lama jumeinak ngthu eiaw lü cangkia ngtheinak na läklam pänga kba, ahina mcuhmthehnake jumeikie üng na jah pet üng nang cun Khritaw Jesuha mpya kdawa na kya khai.
7 But, from the profane and old-wives’ stories, excuse thyself, and be training thyself unto godliness;
Pyensaka am dawki he, khuikame üngkhyüh akthuka vea. Pamhnam ksingnaka kcünsak üng na mät ngtuinglenga.
8 For, the bodily training, for little, is profitable, whereas, godliness, for all things is profitable, —having, promise, of life—the present and the coming.
Pumsa thületnak cun dawki ni; acun sepi, Ngmüimkhya lama thületnak hin anaküt üng daw bawki ni, isetikyaküng, ahin cun naw malam ja atuha kcün sak xawia phäh khyütam jah peki ni.
9 Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy;
Ahin cun cangkia pyensaka kya lü jumei lü dokham vai kunga kyaki.
10 For, to this end, are we toiling and contending, because we have set our hope on a Living God, Who is Saviour of all men—specially, of such as believe.
Bawngkha lü mi khüiki, isetiakyaküng, aktunga ani jumei lü avana küikyan Bawia kya lü xüngseiki Pamhnama vei mi äpeinak mi taki.
11 Be giving these things in charge, and be teaching: —
Ahina mcuhmthehnake ja ngtheinake cän jah pea.
12 Let, no one, despise, thy youth, but, an ensample, become thou of the faithful, —in discourse, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in chastity.
Na dik hama phäh u naw pi käh ning mdihmsui se. Na pyensak, na vecawh, na mhläkphyanak, na jumeinak ja na ngcimcaihnake cun jumeikie naw a ning hjutuih vaia thawna.
13 While I am coming, be giving heed—to the reading, to the exhorting, to the teaching:
Ka law vei cäpa, khyangea veia Cangcim khehnak, ngthu sangnak ja mtheinak üng na kcün pe lü biloa.
14 Be not careless of the gift of favour, that is in thee, which was given thee through means of prophesying, along with a laying on of the hands of the eldership.
Na khana sahmae naw pyen u lü ngvaie naw ami kut mtaih üng Ngmüimkhyaa ning peta bänak cän am hnaläüei lü käh ve bä.
15 These things, be thy care, in these things, be thou, that, thine advancement, may be, manifest, unto all:
Khyang avan naw na dämduh a ning hmuh vai ua, ahine cän jah ktha na lü ngapei kawm pi.
16 Be giving heed to thyself, and to thy teaching, —abide still in them; for, this doing, both, thyself, shalt thou save, and them that hearken to thee.
Namät pi mcei lü na jah mtheinak pi mcei bä. Ahine cun msu lü pawh bä, isetiakyaküng, ahine na pawh ta ning ngjakie ja namät kung pi ning jah küikyan khai ni.
