2 Timothy 2
1 Do you, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus;
Cedawngawh, nang ka ca Jesu Khrih awhkaw am qeennaak awh nak tha awm sak lah.
2 and the things which you have heard from me through many witnesses, these do you commit to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
Simpyikung khawzah a haiawh kak kqawn law nang zaak ik-oeihkhqi ce thlang ak cuk ak kik thai yp ak awm thlangkhqi venawh kqawn law pe patoe lah.
3 Do you, therefore, suffer evil, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Jesu Khrih a qalkap leek amyihna kyinaak ce kaimih ning yh pyi lawt lah.
4 Every one that serves as a soldier keeps himself free from the business of this life, that he may please him that has chosen him to be a soldier.
Qalkap bi ak bi ingtaw thlang mailai amyihna am awm hy – qaalboei ak kawzeelnaak aham ni bibi aham a ngaih.
5 And if any one also contend in the public games, he is not crowned, unless he contend according to the laws.
Cemyih lawtna, taaqunaak awh ak paa thlang ingawm a lawng a lam amyihna taaqunaak ce ama sai awhtaw kutdo am hu hy.
6 It is necessary that, the farmer should labor, before he partakes of the fruits.
Tha tlawh doena lo bi ak bikung ing a lo cang ce a ai ma khet aham awm hy.
7 Consider what I say, for I pray that the Lord may give you understanding in all things.
Awi kak kqawn law ve poek lah, ve myihkhqi boeih poek thainaak aham Bawipa ing cyihnaak ni pe bit kaw.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ, of the posterity of David, was raised from the dead, according to my gospel;
David a cadil na ak awm, thihnaak awhkawng ak tho tlaih, Jesu Khrih ce poek lah. Ve ve kai ak awithang leek ni,
9 in which I suffer evil, as an evil-doer, even to bonds: but the word of God is not bound.
ve a dawngawh khuikha hu nyng saw thlakthawlh amyihna thiqui ing khih dyna awm nyng.
10 For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
Jesu Khrih awh ak awm kumqui boeimangnaak ingkaw thaawngnaak ce ami huh thainaak aham, ak tyh thlangkhqi aham ik-oeih soepkep ce yh nyng. (aiōnios g166)
11 Assuredly true is the saying: If indeed we have died with him, we shall also live with him;
Vawhkaw awih kqawnnaak ve thym hy. Amah ing ni thih haih awhtaw, amah ing ni hqing haih lawt kaw;
12 if we are patient, we shall also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us;
ningnih ing ning yh awhtaw, amah ingqawi boeimangnaak ce ni pang lawt kaw. Amah ce ni qoeng awhtaw, anih ing ningnih ce ni qoeng khqi lawt kaw;
13 if we are unfaithful, he remains faithful: he can not deny himself.
ypawm na amni awm awhtaw, anih taw ypawm na awm poe kaw, kawtih amah ingkaw amah ce am qoeng qu thai hy.
14 Put them in mind of these things, charging them before the Lord that they dispute not about words to no profit, which disputes end in the overthrow of the hearers.
Vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi ve kqawn pe poe lah. Amik oelh qukhqi ce Khawsa haiawh ngaihthynnaak awi kqawn pe; ikaw awm a phu am awm nawh ak ngaikhqi seetnaak nani a awm kqoeng.
15 Strive to present yourself to God as approved, a workman that has no cause to be ashamed, rightly setting forth the word of truth.
Kyihnaak ak hu bibikung na na awm amyihna Khawsa haiawh ak leek soeih na pe qu law lah, bibikung ak thym cana awitak ak tu ingtaw chah aham am awm hy.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings; for they will make further advance to ungodliness,
Khawsa amak pa awi a kaa kqawnnaak ce re lah, vemyih a ik-oeih awh amik paakhqi taw Khawsa amak sim thlangkhqi na awm khqoet khqoet uhy.
17 and their word will eat as a gangrene: of whom are Hymenæus and Philetus,
A mingmih am cukkiknaak ce qawk ak pawi amyihna pawi kang kaw. Cemyih thlangkhqi ak khuiawh Himenia ingkaw Phileta awm pa lawt hy nih,
18 who, as it respects the truth, have erred, saying that the resurrection has already taken place; and they overthrow the faith of some.
cekqawi taw awitak awhkawng ak hla na pleng hawh hy nih. Thlakthi thawh tlaihnaak taw awm coeng hawh hy ti nih nawh, thlang pynoet ak cangnaak ce hqe hy nih.
19 But the foundation of God stands firm, having this inscription: The Lord knows those who are his; and, Let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Cehlai, Khawsak tungling taw ak cak cana awm nawh vawhkaw awi ing hatnaak tahy: “Bawipa ing amah a koekhqi ce noek hy,” nawh, “U awm Bawipa ang ming ak dyih pyi ingtaw ik-oeih amak leek ce cehta seh.”
20 In a great house, however, there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some for honor, and some for dishonor.
Im ak bau soeih ak khuiawh sui ingkaw ngun ing a sai ik-oeih doeng am awm nawh, thing ing tamlai ing a sai ik-oeih awm awm hy; pynoet taw qyp awm kawi aham awm hy.
21 If, therefore, any one will cleanse himself from these strifes about words, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, highly useful to the master, prepared for every good work.
U ingawm a hukhit awhkaw ik-oeih awhkawng ak ciim ak caih na a awm awhtaw, anih taw qyp awm kawi ik-oeih, ak ciim ik-oeih sai na awm kawmsaw, Bawipa aham a phu ak awm ingkaw ik-oeih leek sainaak aham qoek abah na awm kaw.
22 Shun youthful desires, and follow righteousness, faithfulness, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Cadawng hy ngaihnaakkhqi ce cehta nawhtaw, dyngnaak, cangnaak, lungnaak ingkaw ngaihdingnaak ce kawlung ciimnaak ing Bawipa ak khy thlangkhqi mi hquut lawt lah.
23 But avoid foolish and unprofitable questions, because you know that they produce contentions:
Qawnaak ingkaw cyihnaak kaana ikawmyih a ik-oeih awm koeh oelh law, cemyih a ik-oeih ingtaw hqo ang hqitnaak ni a awm sak hy tice sim hawh hyk ti.
24 and the servant of the Lord must not be contentious, but gentle toward all men, able to teach, patient under evils,
Bawipa a tyihzawih thlang ingtaw hqo ang hqitnaak ak khuiawh a paa ham am awm hy: thlang boeih a venawh qeennaak ta kawmsaw, cuk am kik hly thai hy, kawsonaak am ta kaw.
25 in meekness instructing those who oppose themselves, if, possibly, God may give them repentance in order to the acknowledgment of the truth,
Anih ak oelh thlangkhqi ce, Khawsa ing zutnaak pe kawmsaw awitak simnaak benna sawi ngai kaw tinawh ngaih-unaak kawlung taak doena,
26 and that they may awake to sobriety out of the snare of the devil, after having been taken captive by him according to his will.
zaksim thainaak kawlung a taaknaak thai aham ingkaw, amah ak kawngaih sai sak aham ak khawhkung setan ak dawng awhkawng a loetnaak thai ham awi zoei cana kqawn caih peek aham awm hy.
