2 Timothy 2
1 So then, my child, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus.
Cedawngawh, nang ka ca Jesu Khrih awhkaw am qeennaak awh nak tha awm sak lah.
2 And the things which I have said to you before a number of witnesses, give to those of the faith, so that they may be teachers of others.
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 Be ready to do without the comforts of life, as one of the army of Christ Jesus.
Jesu Khrih a qalkap leek amyihna kyinaak ce kaimih ning yh pyi lawt lah.
4 A fighting man, when he is with the army, keeps himself free from the business of this life so that he may be pleasing to him who has taken him into his army.
Qalkap bi ak bi ingtaw thlang mailai amyihna am awm hy – qaalboei ak kawzeelnaak aham ni bibi aham a ngaih.
5 And if a man takes part in a competition he does not get the crown if he has not kept the rules.
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 right for the worker in the fields to be the first to take of the fruit.
Tha tlawh doena lo bi ak bikung ing a lo cang ce a ai ma khet aham awm hy.
7 Give thought to what I say; for the Lord will give you wisdom in all things.
Awi kak kqawn law ve poek lah, ve myihkhqi boeih poek thainaak aham Bawipa ing cyihnaak ni pe bit kaw.
8 Keep in mind Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, who came back from the dead, as my good news gives witness:
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 put up with the hardest conditions, even prison chains, like one who has done a crime; but the word of God is not in chains.
ve a dawngawh khuikha hu nyng saw thlakthawlh amyihna thiqui ing khih dyna awm nyng.
10 But I undergo all things for the saints, so that they may have salvation 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 This is a true saying: If we undergo death with him, then will we be living with him:
Vawhkaw awih kqawnnaak ve thym hy. Amah ing ni thih haih awhtaw, amah ing ni hqing haih lawt kaw;
12 If we go on to the end, then we will be ruling with him: if we say we have no knowledge of him, then he will say he has no knowledge of 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 without faith, still he keeps faith, for he will never be untrue to 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 these things before them, giving them orders in the name of the Lord to keep themselves from fighting about words, which is of no profit, only causing error in their 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 Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way.
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 take no part in wrong and foolish talk, for those who do so will go farther into evil,
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 words will be like poisoned wounds in the flesh: such are Hymenaeus 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 Men whose ideas are all false, who say that the coming back from the dead has even now taken place, overturning 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 God's strong base is unchanging, having this sign, The Lord has knowledge of those who are his: and, Let everyone by whom the name of the Lord is named be turned away from evil.
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 Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but others of wood and earth, and some which are honoured and some without honour.
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 a man makes himself clean from these, he will be a vessel for honour, made holy, ready for the master's use, ready 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 But keep yourself from those desires of the flesh which are strong when the body is young, and go after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those whose prayers go up to the Lord from a clean 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 And put away foolish and uncontrolled questionings, seeing that they are a cause of trouble.
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 For it is not right for the Lord's servant to make trouble, but he is to be gentle to all, ready in teaching, putting up with wrong,
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 Gently guiding those who go against the teaching; if by chance God may give them a change of heart and true knowledge,
Anih ak oelh thlangkhqi ce, Khawsa ing zutnaak pe kawmsaw awitak simnaak benna sawi ngai kaw tinawh ngaih-unaak kawlung taak doena,
26 And so they may get themselves free from the net of the Evil One, being made the prisoners of the Lord's servant, for the purpose of God.
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.
