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.
Christ Jesus sung ah nuntakna kamciam bang in, Pathian deina tungtawn in Jesus Christ i sawltak keima Paul in,
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 it ka tapa Timothy: na tung ah Pa Pathian le i Topa Jesus Christ tung pan thuthiamna, hesuakna le thinnopna hong om tahen.
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.
Pu le pa te hun pan kipan in a thiangtho khentel theina taw a na ka sep Pathian ka pok hi, sun le zan in ka thunget na theampo sung ah nangma sia tatsat ngawl in hong phawk tawntung khi hi;
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 thitui te ka phawk ciang in, ka lungdamna a dim thei natu in nangma kong mu nuam mama hi;
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 sung a om upna tatak sia ka phawk ciang in, na pi Lois sung ah a masabel in om a, na nu Eunice sung ah zong om hi; taciang nangma sung ah zong om hi, ci ka um hi.
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].
Tua ahikom na tung ah khut ka ngakna tungtawn in na sung a om Pathian letsong sia mei bang in kuangsak tawntung tu, na phaw tawntung tu in kong son hi.
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.
Banghangziam cile Pathian in launa thaa hong pia ngawl hi; ahihang vangletna, itna le ngaisutna pha hong pia hi.
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].
Tua ahikom i Topa tettipanna le Ama hang in thongtak keima atu in maizum heak in: ahihang Pathian vangletna bang in lungdamna thupha hang in haksatna a thuakpui hi zaw in;
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)
Ama in eite hong ngum a, a thiangtho sapna taw hong sam hi, hi thu sia eite sepna bang hi ngawl in, Ama ngeal na le thuthiamna bang in hi a, tua thu sia leitung ki pat ma in Christ Jesus sung ah hong pia zo hi, (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!
Ahihang tu in eite hong ngum Jesus Christ hong kilaak na tungtawn in eite tung ah hong kilang hi, Ama in thina bosak a, lungdamna thupha tungtawn in nuntakna le thi thei ngawl na hong kilangsak zo hi:
11 I was chosen {Christ chose me} to go as an apostle to many places and proclaim that message to people.
Tua sung ah keima sia thuhil tu, sawltak le Gentile te hil tu in nasep hongpia hi.
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].
Tua atu in hite ka thuak hi: ahihang ka mai a zum bua hi: banghangziam cile kua um khi ziam, ci ka he hi, taciang Ama tung ah ka ap te sia tua ni ciang dong Ama in keamcing thei hi, ci ka um hi.
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].
Christ Jesus sung ah upna le itna thu ka tung pan na zaksa ette tak thupha te khotak in len in.
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].
Eite sung a om Tha Thiangtho tungtawn in na tung ah hong ap na pha sia keamcing in.
15 You know that [almost] all [the believers] in Asia [province] have (turned away from/abandoned) me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Asia sung a om te in hong nungngat uh hi, ci na he hi; tua te sung ah Phygelus le Hermogenes zong kihel hi.
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]).
Topa in Onesiphorus te innkuan tung ah a hesuakna pia tahen; banghangziam cile ama in tu le tu thathak hong dimsak a, ka thikkol zong hong maizum pui ngawl hi:
17 On the contrary, when he came here to Rome, he diligently searched for me until he found me.
Ahihang ama sia Rome ah a om lai in, hanciamtak in hong zong a, hong mu hi.
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.
Tua ni ciang in Topa hesuakna a mu thei natu in Topa in pia tahen: ama in Ephesus ah bangza in hong khoi ziam, ci sia nangma in phatak in na he hi.
