1 Timothy 6

1 As many as are servants under a yoke, their own masters worthy of all honour let them reckon, that the name of God and the teaching may not be evil spoken of;

Mpyae naw ami mahpae cun leisawng vaia ngkäihkia ami ngaih üngva Pamhnama ngming ja kami jah mtheinak cun akse u naw pi am pyen.

2 and those having believing masters, let them not slight [them], because they are brethren, but rather let them serve, because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting;

Khritjan mahpanakie mpyae naw ami mahpae käh jah mdihmsui u se, isetiakyaküng ami mahpae cun pi jumeikie ni. Sa lü akdaw bawka jah bi pet khaie, isetiakyaküng ami khut üngkhyüh akdaw ami yaheinak cän ami jah kphyanak jumeikie ami mahpae ni. Nang naw ahine cun sang lü na jah mthei yah khai.

3 if any one be teaching otherwise, and do not consent to sound words — those of our Lord Jesus Christ — and to the teaching according to piety,

A u pi mi ngtheinak ja mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa ngthu kcang üng am täng lü ningsaw hngalangkia mtheinak pawki cun,

4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and word-striving, out of which doth come envy, strife, evil-speakings, evil-surmisings,

awcahnak naw mjaw lü i pi am ksing. Ani naw a law cun am dawkia ngcuhnak ja ngvawknak hlü vai khyü nglung he ta lü ahin naw ng’eihnak, ngcuhngkaihnak, thangmsetnak, aksea ngaihnak,

5 wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such;

angläta ngcuh vai cun ngthungtak ami mlunga am vekia khyange ni. Ningsaw hin bawimangnak vaia amimi naw ngaikie ni.

6 but it is great gain — the piety with contentment;

Daw ve, mi tak mi khäksak üng ningsaw naw jah bawimangsaki.

7 for nothing did we bring into the world — [it is] manifest that we are able to carry nothing out;

Khawmdeka i mi law püiki ni? I am mi law püi! Khawmdek üngkhyüh i ja mi cehpüi thei? I am mi cehpüi thei!

8 but having food and raiment — with these we shall suffice ourselves;

Acuna kyase, eiawk ja suiawi mi tak hin mimia phäh khäk ve.

9 and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction,

Lüpi, bawimang hlükie cun, hlawhlepnak khamei u lü angnak naw jah pinman lü akse hlükaweinak naw amimi cun pyaknak ja pyüpyehnak da jah kaihki ni.

10 for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;

Ngui jawngnak hin aksekhyu naküta phungnu ni. Khyang avang cun ahin tak vai täng lü jumnak üngkhyüh akthuka cit u lü ami mlung puksetsakie ni.

11 and thou, O man of God, these things flee, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness;

Acunsepi, nang Pamhnama khyang ahina ngkhawe jah hjawnga. Nang ta ngsungpyunnak, Pamhnam ksingnak, jumeinak, mhläkphyanak, khameinak ja hniphnawinak na tak vaia mtunei bä.

12 be striving the good strife of the faith, be laying hold on the life age-during, to which also thou wast called, and didst profess the right profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

Jumeinak üng na khyaih khawha dawng lü angläta xünnak cän yaha, saksi khawhah maa na tak jumnak ja Pamhnam naw ahina sak aning khü üng angkhänga na ng’anei cän ni. (aiōnios g166)

13 I charge thee, before God, who is making all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who did testify before Pontius Pilate the right profession,

Anaküt üng xünnak pekia Pamhnam hmai ma ja Pontas Pilat maa jumnak angkhänga ng’aneiki Khritaw Jesuha maa ngthu ka ning pet ta,

14 that thou keep the command unspotted, unblameable, till the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw ponak law Mhnüp vei cäpa sitih lü na bi vai jah kcüngei lü jah läklam kawm pi.

15 which in His own times He shall shew — the blessed and only potentate, the King of the kings and Lord of the lords,

Bawiea Bawipa, sangpuxangea Sangpuxang, a jodaw lü Suki mat däk Pamhnam kcün a kha üng a ponak vai cun ngdang law khai.

16 who only is having immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to see, to whom [is] honour and might age-during! Amen. (aiōnios g166)

Ani däk va am thi thei lü u naw pi am a k’et khawha akvai üng veki. U naw pi am hmu thei, u naw pi am hmu khawi. Angläta johit ja leisawngnak a veia ve se! Amen. (aiōnios g166)

17 Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; — (aiōn g165)

Hina kcünsak üng bawimangkie cän, ami kcünsak üng käh awhcah lü am ngkhängkia bawimangnak üng äpeinak käh ta lü anaküt mi jekyainak vaia jah peki Pamhnama vei äpeinak ami tak vaia jah mtheha. (aiōn g165)

18 to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate,

Ami tak cun käh kpamei lü akce üngpi jah yet lü akdaw lama bawimang u lü akdaw ami bilawh vaia jah mtheha.

19 treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life age-during.

Ahina tuilam üng ni malama ngkhängkia bawimangnak cun mkhämei khaie ni. Acun üngva amimi naw xünnak akcang cun yahei khaie.

20 O Timotheus, the thing entrusted guard thou, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge,

Timoti aw, na mcei vaia ning ap cän akdawa säma. Amdang pyensake ja khyang avange naw “Ksingkhyapnak” ami tia am käh ngtähkia ngcuhngkaihnake cän jah hjawng bä.

21 which certain professing — concerning the faith did swerve; the grace [is] with you. Amen.

Avang he naw acun kami taki ti u lü acuna phäh jumnak lam mkhyühki he. Pamhnama bäkhäknak nami vana khana ve se.
