1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
Seng Pangte Rangte jengkhaap jun ih Jisu Kristo seng laalomte wah kaamwah Pool jiin nawa arah le ah—
2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Hanpiite jun ih amiisak nga sah, Timothi suh: Seng loong Wah Rangte nyia Jisu Kristo seng Teesu ih an suh tenthet, minchan, nyia semroongroong ah toom koho.
3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
Ngah Mesidonia juungkhuung ko ih katang adi baat taha likhiik, amadoh uh an suh Ephisas samnuthung adoh tong uh ih baat hala. Erah ni maramarah mina ih tiitmoong banlam nyoot rumha, eno erah loong an ih tanghaam jaatjaat etheng.
4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
Neng suh baat rum uh teewah khiikkhi nyia wih ate men loong wootthaam baattaan ah eto toom et rum ah erah ih bah changrook jengdaan ba dongsiit ah, Rangte kaankoong hanpi jun ih mojih ah tabaam jen mothukka.
5 But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
Arah jengdang hesot hemat abah minchan seng ten nawa ih dong hala, nyia thung atak phanjangjang, erah dam ih seng hanpi loong ah.
6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
Mararah mina ih erah loong ah thiinhaat rum ano thaangmuh tiitwaan ah moong phoongwaan rumla.
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
Neng ih Rangte Hootthe ah nyoot suh ram rumla, enoothong neng ih tumjih nyoot rumha neng teeteewah ih tasamjat rumka adoleh elang jaat eah ih nyoot rumha ah neng ih botseh tasamjat rumka.
8 But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,
Seng ih jat ehi Hootthe ah ese, mamet maaktheng ah erah jat ih bah ah.
9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
Seng ih ejat jaatjaat etheng, Hotthe ah ese mina loong raang ih tah angka, erah nang ih bah hootthe thet haatte nyia ehuh eleek, rangdah nyia rangmuh hasong mina loong raang ih, nyia chiiala adoleh thooroom lajatte loong raang ih, nengnuh nengwah tek haatte nyia mih tek haatte loong raang ih,
10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
mih damdoh roomjup matkapte raang ih, miwah ah miwah damdi, minuh ah minuh damdi muungtuungla loong raang, mih ething et putte raang ih, eleek tiitbaatte raang ih nyia emoong haaki tiitbaatte raang ih adoleh amiisak banlam tiit loong phaakiitte loong raang ih.
11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Erah loong ah Rangte tiitkhaap nah choh ah, chaan aphaan nyia romseetam kotte Rangte ih erah Ruurang Ese ah ngah suh tumbaat thuk halang.
12 I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
Nga ih Teesu Jisu Kristo suh lakookmi liihang, heh mootkaat raang ih ngah suh tathat kohang no ah. Ngah suh heh mootkaat nah jen pun mojih chaan ah kohang no nyia danpoon hangno lakookmi liihang,
13 although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
ehak di bah ngah ih heh suh ethih kah ih liitang nyia siiwi chamnaang angno dut haat etang. Enoothong Rangte ih ngah ah minchan et tahang tumeah nga heh suh lahanpi thang ih tumjih reetang rah tajat tang.
14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Eno seng Teesu ih ngah suh lajen toobaat theng tenthet ah kotahang erah dam ih Jisu Kristo jiin nawa minchan nyia hanpi theng anep kotahang.
15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
Arah amiisak tiit seng ih kamkam et hanpiijih nyia thangjih: Kristo Jisu arah mongrep adi rangdah mina loong pangsuh ra taha. Erah mong dowa ethithoon rangdah mina ah ngah,
16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
enoothong rangdah mina ang ang abah uh Jisu Kristo ih heh minchan ah nga sak ni noisok jatahang, eno erah minchan ah mihoh loong ih nyootsok hangno hanpi rum ah, eno neng ah lathoon theng roidong ah chorum ah. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Babah uh lathoonka luungwang, latekte nyia latuptheng, Rangte heh luulu—asuh roitang roijang ih soongsap theng nyia phoongpha etheng! Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
Nga sah, Timothi, Ngah suh jaakhoni khowah loong ih an tiit banbaat rum tahang jun ih an suh arah jengdang loong ah baat kohala. Erah jengdang loong ah lang apah dakbi et maak uno ba raamui jen mui uh,
19 holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
eno an tuungmaang nyia thung atak ah phanjangjang et thun uh. Mararah ih nengthung nengtak ni epun angla ah lakap thang ih neng tuungmaang ah thet haat rumha.
20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
Erah dung dowa ah Himenus nyia Alekjender, erah wanyi ah ngah ih Soitaan lak ni konyu angno chamnaang thuk hang; eno nyi ih erah dowa ih ba jatnyu ah Rangte jeng abah ladaanjih boh ah eah eno kok toohaat nyu ah.
