1 Timothy 6

1 Hnamkun hmuikah aka om sal boeih loh a boeikung rhoek te a cungkuem dongah hinyahnah ham tueng la poek saeh. Te daengah ni Pathen ming neh thuituennah te a soehsal pawt eh.

Let all who are servants under the yoke give all honour to their masters, so that no evil may be said against the name of God and his teaching.

2 Uepom la aka om boeilung rhoek tah manuca la a om uh dongah hnaep uh boeh. Tedae salbi uh taoe saeh. Uepom la a om uh dongah thintlo tah bibi then neh a bom. He he thuituen lamtah hloephoelh.

And let those whose masters are of the faith have respect for them because they are brothers, working for them the more readily, because those who take part in the good work are of the faith and are dear. Give orders and teaching about these things.

3 Khatkhat loh a thuituen tholh tih, mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah olka cim neh hingcimnah vanbangla thuituenah te a paan pawt atah koevoei uh tih a hmat hae moenih.

If any man gives different teaching, not in agreement with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the teaching which is in agreement with true religion,

4 Tedae olpungnah neh naenamnah ham ni a yahuem. Te lamkah loh uethnetnah, tohhaemnah, soehsalnah neh a thae la ngaihoihnah ha thoeng.

He has an over-high opinion of himself; being without knowledge, having only an unhealthy love of questionings and wars of words, from which come envy, fighting, cruel words, evil thoughts,

5 Olcenkama loh hlang kah lungbuei te a phae tih oltak te a hmil. Calomnah te hingcimnah ni tila a poek uh.

Bitter talk of men who, being evil in mind and dead to what is true, take the faith to be a way of making profit.

6 Tedae hingcimnah dongah rhaemhalnah ni a len koek calomnah la a om.

But true faith, with peace of mind, is of great profit:

7 Diklai la bakhaw n'khuen uh pawt bangla diklai lamloh pakhat khaw n'khuen uh thai moenih.

For we came into the world with nothing, and we are not able to take anything out;

8 Tedae aka om duen cakok neh pueinak nen he rhaemhal uh sih.

But if we have food and a roof over us, let that be enough.

9 Tedae khuehtawn ham aka ngaih rhoek tah cuekhalhnah neh thaang ah khaw, angnah dongkah hoehhamnah cungkuem neh nganboh dongah khaw cungku uh. Te long te rhawpnah neh pocinah khuila hlang a buek sak.

But those who have a desire for wealth are falling into danger, and are taken as in a net by a number of foolish and damaging desires, through which men are overtaken by death and destruction.

10 Tangkangaih tah boethae cungkuem kah a yung la om. Te te aka nai hlangvang tah tangnah lamloh phael uh tih amamih te lungnat loh mat a cueh.

For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.

11 Tedae aw Pathen kah hlang nang loh he he rhaelrham tak lamtah duengnah, hingcimnah, tangnah, lungnah, uehnah, kodonah te huul lah.

But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour.

12 Tangnah kah thingthuelnah te a then la thingthuel lamtah dungyan hingnah te lo lah. Te ham ni ng'khue tih a then olphoei te laipai a yet hmaiah na phong. (aiōnios g166)

Be fighting the good fight of the faith; take for yourself the life eternal, for which you were marked out, and of which you gave witness in the eyes of all. (aiōnios g166)

13 A cungkuem aka hing sak Pathen neh Pontius Pilat hmaiah aka then olphoei aka phong Jesuh Khrih hmaiah nang kang uen.

I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,

14 Mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah a phoenah duela olpaek te cuemhmuet neh hmabuet la na tuem mako.

To keep the word untouched by evil, clear from all shame, till the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:

15 Te khaw amah tue ah tah yoethen neh mangpa bueng loh, manghai rhoek kah manghai neh boei rhoek kah boei loh a phoe ni.

Which at the right time he will make clear, who is the eternal and only Ruler, King of kings, and Lord of lords;

16 Amah bueng ni aka nguel la om tih m'phavawt vangnah khuiah kol. Anih aka hmu he hlang om pawt tih a hmuh ham khaw coeng thai pawh. Amah taengah te hinyahnah neh thaomnah dungyan la om saeh. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it. (aiōnios g166)

17 Ta kumhal kah kuirhang rhoek te kopoek sang pawt ham, aka nguel pawh khuehtawn soah ngaiuep pawt ham uen lah. Tedae omngaihbawnnah ham cungkuem te kodam la mamih aka pae Pathen taengah, (aiōn g165)

Give orders to those who have money and goods in this life, not to be lifted up in their minds, or to put their hope in the uncertain chances of wealth, but in God who gives us in full measure all things for our use; (aiōn g165)

18 a then sai ham, bibi then neh khuehtawn ham, moeihoeih tonghnae la om ham,

And to do good, having wealth in good works, being quick to give, taking part with one another;

19 Amamih hmailong ham aka then khoengim te a tunghlaep uh tih hingnah taktak te a khueh uh van ham uen ne.

Making ready for themselves a safe place for the time to come, so that the true life may be theirs.

20 Aw Timothy, na hnokhueh te tuem ne. A rhonging, olhong neh mingthae aka phuei mingnah dongkah kingkalhnah te rhael ne.

O Timothy, take good care of that which is given to you, turning away from the wrong and foolish talk and arguments of that knowledge which is falsely so named;

21 Angen loh tangnah dongah ol a caeng uh te a hlihloeh sakuh. Lungvatnah nangmih taengah om saeh.

Through which some, who gave their minds to it, have been turned away from the faith. Grace be with you.
