1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, who is our hope;

I lametna Topa Jesus Christ le eite hong tan Pathian i thupiakna tungtawn in Jesus Christ i sawltak Paul in;

2 To Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

Upna sung ah ka tapa tatak Timothy tung ah: i Pa Pathian le i Topa Jesus Christ tung pan in thuthiamna, hesuakna le thinnopna hong om tahen.

3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

Mi pawlkhat te hilna dang hil ngawl tu in, na vaithak thei na tu, Macedonia ka pai lai in, Ephesus ah om nginge tu in nangma kong thum zo hi,

4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

Phuatawm tangthu te le tawp hun nei ngawl khang thu te thupisak ngawl tu in vaitha in, tabang te in ki nialna piangsak a, Pathian mi hi na lamsang khangtosak ngawl hi.

5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of a sincere faith:

Tu in thupiakna a tawpna sia a thiangtho thinsung, khentel thei na pha le upna tatak sung pan in a piang itna a hihi:

6 From which some having swerved have turned aside to vain talking;

Tua thu pan in pawlkhat te lampial uh a mannung ngawl kammal sang ah kihei uh hi;

7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor concerning what they affirm.

Amate i son te le amate in kipsak a hi hunlam zong he ngawl in, thukhamhil sya te hi nuam lai uh hi.

8 But we know that the law is good, if a man useth it lawfully;

Ahihang mi khat in thukham bang in a zang ahile thukham sia pha hi, ci i he hi;

9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

Hi thu ciamte in, thukham sia mi thutang te atu in a ki vawt hi ngawl hi, ahihang thukham nei ngawl te le thu ni ngawl te, Pathian nei ngawl te le mawnei te, a thiangtho ngawl te le Pathian a thusimngawl te, pa te a that te le nu te a that te,

10 For immoral men, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

Pumpi ki zuak pa te, pa le pa paktat te, mihing ngu te, leilot thu son te, leilot kamciam vawt te, hil na man langpan te atu a hihi;

11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

Tabang hilna man sia thupha Pathian i lungdamna thupha vanglian taw ki phu ngawl a, keima tung ah hong ap hi.

12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

Taciang hong thahatsak i Topa Christ Jesus lungdam ka ko hi, banghangziam cile Ama in thuman in hong ngaisun a, Pathian nasepna sung ah hong koi hi;

13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an insolent man: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

Keima sia nidang in ngual sonsia, ngual a vawtsia le ngual supna tu a vawt ka hihang: hesuakna ka sang hi, banghangziam cile up ngawl na sung ah he ngawl in ka vawt hang hi.

14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Taciang i Topa i thuthiamna sia Christ Jesus sung ah upna le itna taw dim in let hi.

15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

Christ Jesus sia mawnei te ngum tu in hileitung ah hongpai hi, a ci sia a thuman kammal hi a, a vekpi in san tak hi; tua mawnei te sung ah keima sia a mawbel ka hihi.

16 However for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them who should believe on him to life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)

Ahihang nidang ciang in tawntung nuntakna atu a um lai tu te atu ettte tu in, keima mawneibel tung ah Jesus Christ in a thinsauna theampo hong kilangsak a, a hesuakna ka sang hi. (aiōnios g166)

17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, God the only wise, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Tu in tawntung Kumpi, a thi thei ngawl, ki mu thei ngawl, a cialcing Pathian khatbek omsun tung ah zatakna le minthanna a tawntung in om tahen. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 This charge I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies made before concerning thee, that thou by them mayest war a good warfare;

Ka ta Timothy awng, nangma huvau a hun bo sa sung ah mailam thu pualakna a om bangin hi thupiakna sia na khut sung ah muangin kong ap hi. Phatak in ngal na do thei natu in hi kammalte ngalhiam in zang in a,

19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

Na upna kholet in, thinsung thiangtho na nei tan. Mihing pawlkhat a thinsung uh pan, a piang thu te um ngawlin upna lalsak uh hi.

20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

Tuate sung ah, Haimenias le Alexander zong kihel a; amate sia mindaisak ngawl tu in a sin thei na tu Satan tung ah ka ap zo hi.
