2 Timothy 1
1 Jesuh Khrih ah hingnah olkhueh vanbangla Pathen kah kongaih neh Jesuh Khrih kah caeltueih kai Paul loh ka ca thintlo Timothy taengah kan yaak sak.
This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus chosen by God, sent to tell about the promise of real life that is in Christ Jesus.
2 A pa Pathen neh mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah lungvatnah, rhennah, ngaimongnah om saeh.
I'm sending it to you Timothy, my dear son. May you have grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Pathen taengah lungvatnah ka khueh. Amah te manu napa lamloh mingcimnah neh a caih la ka bawk. Nang ham poekkoepnah te khoyin khothaih kamah kah rhenbihnah dongah puet ka khueh.
I'm always thinking of you and I'm so thankful to God, whom I serve as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience. I never forget to mention you in my prayers.
4 Nang kah mikphi te ka poek vaengah omngaihnah neh ka baetawt hamla nang hmuh ka rhingda.
I remember how you cried, and I so want to see you! That would make me really happy.
5 Na khuikah tangnah taktak te thoelhnah la ka loh. Te tah na numca Lois neh na nu Euniki khuiah ana hing lamhma coeng. Te dongah namah khuikah te ni ka pang van.
I keep in mind your sincere trust in God, the same trust that your grandmother Lois and mother Eunice also had—and I know that same trust continues in you.
6 Te paelnaehnah dongah Pathen kah kutdoe te huek hamla nang kan thoelh. Te tah kai kah kut tloengnah lamloh nang soah om coeng.
That's why I want to remind you to revitalize God's gracious gift to you which you received when I placed my hands on you.
7 Pathen loh mamih ham rhalyawpnah mueihla m'pae pawt tih thaomnah, lungnah neh kuemsuemnah ni m'paek.
God didn't give us a spirit that makes us fearful, but a spirit of power and love and good sense.
8 Te dongah mamih Boeipa kah laipai ham amah kah thongtla la kai ka om khaw yak boeh. Tedae Pathen kah thaomnah tarhing ah olthangthen te patang puei.
So don't be ashamed to tell others about our Lord, or be ashamed of me. Instead be ready to share in suffering for the good news as God gives you strength.
9 Mamih n'khang tih aka cim khuenah neh n'khue te mamih kah bibi nen pawt tih Pathen amah kah mangtaengnah neh lungvatnah rhangnen ni. Te te khosuen tue hlanah ni Jesuh Khrih ah mamih m'paek coeng. (aiōnios g166)
He is the one who has saved us and called us to live a holy life—not through what we do, but by God's own plan and through his grace. (aiōnios g166)
10 Tedae mamih khangkung Khrih Jesuh kah a phoenah dongah tah phoe coeng. Dueknah te a hmil ngawn coeng, hingnah neh aka nguel te khaw olthangthen lamloh a yaal coeng.
He gave this grace to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, and is now revealed in the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. He destroyed death, making life and immortality brilliantly clear through the good news.
11 Te ham ni olhoe neh caeltueih neh saya la kai m'hmoel.
I was appointed speaker, apostle, and teacher of this good news.
12 He paelnaehnah dongah ka patang van coeng he. Tedae ka tangnah te ka ming tih ka yak pawh. Ka hnokhueh he te khohnin due dawndah ham a coengthai la a om te ka ngaitang coeng.
That's also the reason I'm suffering all this, but I'm not ashamed, because I know whom I've trusted. I'm confident that he can look after what I've entrusted to him until the Day he returns.
13 Jesuh Khrih ah tangnah, lungnah neh kai lamkah na yaak aka soep olka kah a ninglam te muk lah.
You should follow the model of good advice that you learned from me, with an attitude of trust and love in Christ Jesus.
14 A then hnokhueh te mamih ah aka hing Mueihla Cim lamloh tuem ne.
Guard the truth that was entrusted to you through the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
15 Asia kah rhoek loh kai boeih n'nong tak uh te na ming. Amih khuiah Phikelu neh Harmokene khaw om.
You already know that everyone from Asia has abandoned me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Onesiphor im ah Boeipa loh rhennah han khueh saeh. Kai he n'caih sak taitu tih kai kah kuelrhui te yah puei pawh.
May the Lord be kind to the family of Onesiphorus, because he often took care of me and wasn't embarrassed about me being in prison.
17 Tedae Rom ah aka om loh kai te ngahngah n'toem tih m'hmuh.
When he was in Rome, he took the trouble to search for me, and he found me.
18 Tekah khohnin ah Boeipa kah rhennah dang sak ham Boeipa loh anih ham pae saeh. Rhep na ming bangla Ephisa ah khaw bahoeng n'bomcen.
May the Lord grant him his blessing in the Day of Judgment. (Timothy, you're very much aware of how much Onesiphorus did for me when he was in Ephesus.)
