2 Timothy 1
1 [I], Paul, [am writing this letter. I am] an apostle whom Christ Jesus chose so that I would do what God wanted. He chose me [to tell people that God] has promised [that they will] live [eternally] as a result of their having a close relationship with Christ Jesus.
Khritaw Jesuh am yümmatnak mi taka xünnak khyütam sang khaia tüih, Pamhnama hlüei Khritaw Jesuha ngsä Pawluh üngkhyüh ni,
2 [I am writing to you], Timothy, whom I love [as if you were] my own son. [I pray that] God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord will [continue to act] kindly to you, be merciful to you, and [cause you to have] inner peace,
Ka mhlänak ka ca Timotia veia ni: Pa Pamhnam ja mi Bawipa Khritaw Jesuha bäkhäknak, mpyeneinak ja dim’yenak nang üng ning pe se.
3 I thank God [for all that he has done for you]. I serve him, and my ancestors [served him, too. I serve him] in a manner that I know to be right. [I thank him] while repeatedly I [pray for you] at night and during the day.
Ka pupae naw ami na khüih khawia mäiha ngcimkia mät ja mät ksingnak am ka khüiha Pamhnama veia jenaka mthehki. Amhnüp amthan ka ktaiyünak üng ka ning süma phäh ani ka jenaki.
4 [While I am thanking God for you], I very much want to see you because I remember how you cried [MTY] [when we separated. I want to see you] in order that I may be (filled with joy/very happy).
Na miktui ka süm üng, jekyainak am ka be vaia aktäa ka ning hmu hlüki.
5 [I thank God because] I remember that you sincerely believe [in Christ Jesus]. First, your grandmother, Lois, and your mother, Eunice, [believed in him and], I am (convinced/very sure) that you also believe in him.
Na nu Unick ja na pi Lawiha ami tak jumnaka ngkaw nang naw pi jumnak akcang na tak ka sümki. Nang naw pi acuna jumnak na taki tia ka ksingki.
6 Because [I am sure that you believe in him], I remind you to do fervently/wholeheartedly [MET] what God has (assigned for/appointed) you to do and what he has enabled you to do. [God] ([assigned for/appointed]) you to do it as a result of my putting my hands [on you to show/indicate that he had chosen you to do his work].
Acunakyase, na khana ka kut ka mtai üng Pamhnam naw bänak a ning yet cän mphyünki lü na süm vaia ka ning mtheh be tüki ni.
7 Remember that God has put [his Spirit] within us. [His Spirit does not cause us to be] afraid. Instead, [he causes us to be] powerful [to work for God], and he helps us to love [others] and [to] control what we say and do.
Pamhnam naw a jah peta Ngmüimkhya naw am jah kyüheisak, acuna hnün üng Ngmüimkhya naw johit, mhläkphyanak ja mimät nängeinak am jah kbeki.
8 So never be ashamed/reluctant to tell others the message about our Lord. And do not [be ashamed] of me, [even though I am] a prisoner [because I preach about] him. Instead, [be willing to] suffer as I do as you proclaim the message about Christ. [Endure what you will suffer] by letting God empower [you to endure it].
Acunakyase, käh ngkeei lü mi Bawipa phäh saksia, Khritawa phäh thawng üng ka khyuma phäh pi käh ngkeeia. Pamhnam naw ngjuktha a ning peta mäiha Thangkdawa phäh khuikhanak khameia.
9 [God] saved us and chose us to conduct our lives in a pure way. It was not our doing good deeds/actions [that caused him to do this for us—something] that we did not deserve. Instead, before (time began/he created the world) he purposed/planned to [be kind to us] as a result of what Christ Jesus [would do for us]. (aiōnios g166)
Ani naw jah küikyan lü a khyang vaia a jah khü hin mi bilawhnak üng am kya lüpi a bäkhäknak ja a mkhühnak am ni. Akcün am a tünei ham üng Khritaw Jesuh üngkhyüh a bäkhäknak jah peki. (aiōnios g166)
10 Now, as a result of our Savior Christ Jesus having come, it has been revealed {he has shown} [that he acts kindly toward us. Specifically, Christ Jesus] has declared that we [will not remain dead after we] die! He has also revealed that, as a result of [our hearing and accepting] the message [about Christ, we] will live [forever in bodies that will] not decay!
Mi Küikyan Bawi Khritaw Jesuh a lawnak üng ahin cun mimia veia ngdang law pängki ni. Ahih naw thihnaka johit cän mkhyüh lü anglät xünnak cun thangkdaw üngkhyüh mdanki ni.
11 I was chosen {Christ chose me} to go as an apostle to many places and proclaim that message to people.
Thangkdaw sang khai saja ja ngsäa Pamhnam naw na mcawn lü,
12 So, even though I suffer [here in this prison], I am not ashamed [of being here] (OR, I am very confident), because I know [Christ Jesus], the one whom I have trusted, and I am convinced/sure that he is able to keep safe the good message that he has entrusted to me (OR, the things that I have entrusted [to him]), and that he will reward me at the time [MTY] [when he comes again].
ahinea phäh khuikha ka khamki ni. Lüpi mkhühüpnak ka taki, isetiakyaküng, u ka umnaki ti cun ka ksingki. Kei üng a na ap hüt cun Khawmhnüp a pha law vei cäpa ani naw säm khawhki tia ka ksingki.
13 Be sure that you tell others the same correct message that you heard from me. [And as you tell it], keep trusting [in Christ Jesus] and keep loving [others] as Christ Jesus [enables you to do].
Khritaw Jesuh üng mi yümmatnaka kyaki mhläkphyanak ja jumeinak üng ve lü na läklama vai ka ning mtheia khyübe kcang cän kcüng kyet bä.
14 Do not let anyone persuade you to change the [good message that] God has entrusted/given to you. Allow the Holy Spirit who lives in us to [direct what you say].
Mimi üng vekia Ngmüimkhya Ngcima johita khyüh a ning apa akdawe cän sämei kyet bä.
15 You know that [almost] all [the believers] in Asia [province] have (turned away from/abandoned) me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Asah hne veki khyang avan, Phakilas ja Hamawkines naw pi na cehtaki xawi ni.
16 [But I pray that] the Lord will be kind to the family of Onesiphorus for the following reasons: Often he cheered me up and, [even though] I was a prisoner [MTY], he was not ashamed (of me/[to admit he was] my [friend]).
Bawipa mpyeneinak Onesiphoraha im kyawnga ve se, isetiakyaküng, ani naw akcün tä na jesaki ni. Thawng üng ka kyuma phäh pi am ngkeei lü,
17 On the contrary, when he came here to Rome, he diligently searched for me until he found me.
Romah a pha law ja am a na hmuha küt üng kei na sui hüki ni.
18 [I pray that] the Lord will be kind to him on that day [MTY] [when he, the Lord, will judge people]. And how much Onesiphorus served [me] in Ephesus [city], you know very well.
Acuna Mhnüp üng Bawipa naw a bäkhäknak pe se! Keia phäha Epheta ihlawka biloki tia cän nami ksingkie ni.
