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.
Ngah Pool, jiin nawa arah le ah, Jisu Kristo kaamwah Rangte thungpun jun ih danje hang ah, eno Jisu damdoh roop ih no heh ih kakhamta roidong tiit ah tumbaat suh daapkaat tahang—
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,
Nga sah, Timothi suh: Seng loong wah Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo ih an suh heh tenthet, minchan nyia semroongroong ah toom koho.
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.
Ngah ih Rangte suh lakookmi liihang, sengte sengwah ih soom rumta ah likhiik ngah ih uh thung atak esa nawa ih heh rang ah soomhang. Sen loong ah rangwuung rangphe nga rangsoom nawa ih jen samthun rumha eno heh suh lakookmi liihang.
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).
Ngah ih sen mikse janhaat tan ah samthun hang, eno sen japtup suh rapne ih ramlang, eno ba ngah tenroon ang ang.
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.
Ngah ih an wih Lois nyia an nuh Unis seklilih ih hanpi nyuuta a likhiik ih sen hanpi ah samthun hang. Ngah ih thunhang sen uh emamah heh ih hanpi lan.
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].
Erah thoih ansuh baat hala nga lak ih taajoh taha adi an suh Rangte ih thaangmuh lakot kotaho ah ban maak ruh et uh.
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.
Tumeah Rangte ih kotahe Chiiala rah ih seng ah choophoot ih hoon suh tah angka, erah nang ih bah, heh Chiiala ih seng suh chaan aphaan, minchan, nyia seng teeteewah jen soksam theng ah kotahe.
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].
Erah thoih, Teesu haaki angsuh larakri theng; adoleh Kristo tungthoih ngah phaatak ni tonglang asuh uh larakri theng. Erah nang ih bah, Ruurang Ese raangtaan ih cham anaang jen hui suh, chaan kotaho jun ih cham anaang etheng.
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)
Seng ah heh mina ih hoon suh piipang hali nyia poon hali ah langla, seng mootkaat thoi ih tah angka, erah nang ih bah ah heh mootkaat raang ih heh tenthet je thoih. Saapoot maang thok ra ngakhoni Jisu Kristo mendi ba seng suh erah tenthet ah kohali, (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!
enoothong, amadi seng Pangte nyi seng Teesu, Jisu Kristo ra taha rah ih dongjat thuk hali. Heh ih etek chaan aphaan ah matsiit etta nyia ruurangese jun ih latek roidong ah dong thukta.
11 I was chosen {Christ chose me} to go as an apostle to many places and proclaim that message to people.
Ruurang Ese ah tumbaat suh Rangte ih heh kaamwah nyia nyootte et danjoh tahang,
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].
eno ngah ah erah loong ah thoih chamnaang lang. Ang abah uh, ngah tarakri kang, tumeah ngah o suh laalom lang erah ejat ehang, eno ngah ih kamkam jat hang heh ih heh Herangwuung maanglang lang ngah suh tumjih kotahang ah punpiipi ih thiin ah.
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].
Ngah ih nyoot hala amiisak tiit loong ah an ih dangdang et kap uno enyootsok etjih toom ang uh, eno Kristo Jisu damdoh roop uno heh suh hanpi lam ih nyia minchan nah ban tongruh eh uh.
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].
Seng damdi roong tongte Esa Chiiala, chaan nawa ih sen suh eseejih loong kotahan ah bankap ruh et an.
15 You know that [almost] all [the believers] in Asia [province] have (turned away from/abandoned) me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
An ih jat et hu, Esia juungkhuung nawa mirep ih ngah ah thiinhaat et rum tahang, erah damdi Phiijelus nyia Harmojinis ih nep roong thiinhaat nyu tahang.
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]).
Teesu tenthet ah Onisphorus jaatang asuh toom je ah, tumeah heh ih saapoot rookwih kaban chosok wang tahang. Ngah phaatak ni tong angdi uh tarakriita,
17 On the contrary, when he came here to Rome, he diligently searched for me until he found me.
erah nang ih bah Room hadaang ni thok haano ngah maang japtup tup jamsok tahang.
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.
Seng Teesu ih heh kaat Rangwuung chang adoh heh suh tenthet minchan ah toom koh ah! Eno an ih rapneene ih jat hu Ephisas ni heh nga raangtaan ih mathan ih reeta rah ah.
