2 Timothy 4
1 Christ Jesus [is going to come back and] judge those who are living [when he comes] and those who will have died. He will judge them [concerning what rewards they deserve, and] he will rule everyone. So, [knowing that] he and God are watching [everything that we do], I solemnly/earnestly command you
Keiman Pathen le alenggam tungdoh a hung ding Christa Yeshua, ahingho le athiho chungthu tana pang dingpa angsunga, lungguttah a katilkhou nahi:
2 that you proclaim the [true] message to people. Always be ready/prepared [to proclaim it], whether people want to hear it or not. [Some people are saying things that are not correct]; (refute their teaching/show why their teaching is wrong). Rebuke them when they are doing wrong. Tell them what they ought to do. Be very patient while you teach them.
Pathen Thu chu seiphong in. Phat kijenpet hihen, hihih jongleh kigosademin um'in. Thohhattah in sudih in, phoh in chule phatah a hilpumin namiteu chu tilkhouvin.
3 [Do these things] because there will be a time when people will not listen to good teaching. Instead, they will bring in many teachers for themselves who will tell them just what they want to hear [IDM]. [The reason that they will bring in such teachers is] that they want to do the evil things that they desire.
Ajehchu mihon thuhilpha le adihtah a kihilna thu angainom lounau phat hunglhung ding ahi. Amaho chun alung ngaichat u ajui uva, anakolu thahtun tun'a um chun angainom ding thubou hilding mihil akikou dingu ahi.
4 That is, they will not listen to [MTY] what is true, but will listen instead to [strange] stories from our ancestors.
Amaho chun thutah chu adeilou dingu chule akisemthu thusimho pou adel le dingu ahi.
5 [Furthermore, I command that] you always control what you think and do. [Be willing] to endure hardships/suffering. Your work should be telling people the message [about Christ Jesus]. As you serve [the Lord], do everything that [God has told] you to do.
Hinlah nangma aphat totoh'a imalam jousea lunggel kicheh hina neiyin. Pakaiya dinga gimhesoh thohding kichatna neihih in. Kipana Thupha thu chu hilin chule Pathen in lhacha natohna napeh chu tongdoh in.
6 [Timothy, I say these things to] you because as for me, [it is as though] [MET] [they are now about to kill me. It is as though my blood will] be poured out {they will kill me} [as a sacrifice on the altar]; that is, [I know] that it is the time for me to die [EUP].
Keima vang kahinkho hi Pathena dinga maichama kisunglha kahitai. Ka leihinkho kichaina ding ahung naitai.
7 [And as to telling people the] good [message and defending it], I have (exerted myself thoroughly/done it with all my energy) [MET], [like a boxer does. As to doing] the work that God gave me to do, I have completed it, [like a runner who finishes] [MET] the race. [As to] what we believe, I (have been loyal to it/continue to believe it).
Keiman kidouna chu kasat chaitai, keiman lhaitetna chu kajo ahitai chule tahsanna a kapangdet e.
8 [So, like people award] a prize [MET] [to the winner of a race], the Lord, who judges rightly, will give me a reward [because I have lived] righteously. He will give me that reward when [MTY] [he judges people]. And not only [will he reward] me, but he will also reward all those who very much want him to come back.
Chule tua hi kipaman kasan ding gotsa koi ahitai. Pakai, thutan dihtah pa chun, ahungkile nitengleh chonphatna lallukhuh chu eipeh ding ahi. Chule hiche kipaman san ding chu keima chang dingseh hilouva Ama hung kilah ding nikho ngaicha geova ngah jing ho dinga jong ahi.
9 (Do your best/Try hard) to come to me soon.
Timothy, lungsettah in agan nathei chanin hungin.
10 [I say that] because Demas has left me. He wanted very much [the good things that he might enjoy] [MTY] in this world [right now], and so he went to Thessalonica [city]. Crescens [went to serve the Lord] in Galatia [province], and Titus went to Dalmatia [district]. (aiōn g165)
Demas chun tu hinkho thil ho angaichat jeh in keima eidalhan, Thessalonica lama achetai. Crescens chu Galatia ah achen, chule Titus Dalmatia ah achetai. (aiōn g165)
11 Luke is the only one who is still with me [of those who were helping me. And when you come], bring Mark with you, because he is useful to help me in my work.
Luke bouseh kakoma aume. Nahung phatleh Mark chu hinpuiyin, ajeh chu ama lhacha natohnaa eipanpi phachomtah hiding ahi.
12 Tychicus [cannot help me because] I sent him to Ephesus [city].
Keiman Tychicus chu Ephesus a kasol in ahi.
13 And when you come, bring the coat that I left with Carpus in Troas [city]. Also, bring the books, but (most of all/especially) [I want] (the parchments/the animal skins) [on which important things are written].
Nahung phatleh Troas khoa Carpus koma kadalhah Sangkholchol chu hinpo teiyin. Chujongleh kalekhabu ho, adeh'a kalekhajol ho chu hinpon.
14 Alexander, the man who makes things from metal, did many evil/harmful things to me. The Lord will punish him for what he did.
Alexander, sum-eng khengpa chun eigimbol lheh jenge, hinlah Pakaiyin athilbol dungjuiyin achungthu tan nante.
15 So you, too, must beware of him. [He will try to destroy your work if he can], because he very much opposes the message that we [proclaim].
Amaa konin chingtheiyin, ajeh chu amahin isei jouseu hadouvin adouvin ahi.
16 When I first defended myself [in court here], no one came along [to help defend] me. Instead, they all left me. [I pray] that it will not be counted against {[God] will forgive} them [LIT] [for leaving me].
Thutanna anga eikipui masat chun koima eikilhonpia aumpoi. Amitinin eidalhauve. Ama ho dounaa ima sodahen.
17 Nevertheless, the Lord was with me and strengthened me. He enabled me to fully preach the message, and all the non-Jewish people [in the court] (OR, people from many nations) heard it. And I was rescued [by the Lord] {[the Lord] rescued me} [from great danger, as if I were taken] [MET] out of a lion’s (OR, wild animal’s) mouth.
Hinlah Pakai chun eidinpin chule thaneina eipei hitia chu keiman chidang namdang ho jouse henga Kipana Thupha kalhangsap chu ajah theina dingu ahi. Chule aman thina theiya konin jong eihuh dohtai.
18 [Therefore, I am sure that] the Lord will rescue me from everything that is truly evil and will bring me safely to heaven, where he rules. Praise him forever! (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
Henge, hitia chu Pakaiyin gitlouna eihin nokhum theiya konin eihuhdoh intin, chule avan gam'a bitkeiya eipuilut ding ahi. Pathena chun loupina jouse umjing tahen! Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Greet [for me] Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila and the family of Onesiphorus.
Priscilla le Aquila teni chule Onisephorus insunga umho jouse chu keikhelin analemin.
20 Erastus stayed in Corinth [city]. Trophimus, I left in Miletus [city] because he was sick.
Erastus Corinth a aumdenin, chule keiman Trophimus chu Miletas ah damlouvin kadalhatai.
21 (Do your best/Try hard) to come to me before (the stormy season/winter). Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and many other fellow believers [in this city] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking affectionately about) you.
Phalbi ma-in hikoma hung teijin. Eubulus in chibai nahinbol e, chule Pudente, Linus, Claudia chule sopi ho jousen jong chibai nahinbol uve.
22 [I pray that] the Lord will [help you in] your spirit, [Timothy, and] that [he] will act kindly toward all of you [believers who are there].
Pakai chun nalhagaovu umpi hen. Chule Amilungsetna chun nabonchauvin naumpiuhen.
