2 Timothy 2
1 Yoʋ then, my child, 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 Entrust what yoʋ have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses to faithful men who will be competent 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 Endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Jesu Khrih a qalkap leek amyihna kyinaak ce kaimih ning yh pyi lawt lah.
4 No one serving as a soldier entangles himself in the affairs of civilian life, since he seeks to please the one who enlisted him.
Qalkap bi ak bi ingtaw thlang mailai amyihna am awm hy – qaalboei ak kawzeelnaak aham ni bibi aham a ngaih.
5 Similarly, an athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to 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 The hardworking farmer ought to receive the first share of the crops.
Tha tlawh doena lo bi ak bikung ing a lo cang ce a ai ma khet aham awm hy.
7 Think about what I am saying. May the Lord give yoʋ understanding in everything.
Awi kak kqawn law ve poek lah, ve myihkhqi boeih poek thainaak aham Bawipa ing cyihnaak ni pe bit kaw.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, the offspring of David, who 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 For this gospel I suffer to the point of being chained like a criminal, but the word of God is not chained.
ve a dawngawh khuikha hu nyng saw thlakthawlh amyihna thiqui ing khih dyna awm nyng.
10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the chosen, so that they too 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 This saying is trustworthy: If we died with him, we will 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 endure, we will 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 cannot 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 Remind the people of these things, solemnly charging them before the Lord not to quarrel about words, which does no good but only leads to the ruin of those who are listening.
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 Be diligent to present yoʋrself to God as a proven worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly teaches 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 Avoid profane chatter, for those who engage in such talk will stray further and further into 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 message will spread like gangrene. Among them 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 who have strayed from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened. They are undermining 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 Nevertheless, the foundation of God stands firm, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord must depart from unrighteousness.”
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 large house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for honorable use and some for dishonorable use.
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 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master, and 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 Flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faithfulness, love, and peace, along with those who call upon the Lord from 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 Have nothing to do with foolish and ignorant controversies, knowing that they breed quarrels.
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 A servant of the Lord ought not to quarrel, but to be kind to everyone, able to teach, and patient,
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 instructing his opponents with gentleness. Perhaps God will grant them repentance leading to the knowledge 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 Then they will come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to do 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.
