2 Timothy 4

1 Pathen neh Khrih Jesuh hmaiah kang uen. A phoenah, a ram neh aka duek aka hing laitloek ham cai.

I fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge [the] living and dead at His appearing and His Kingdom—

2 Ol te hoe pah. Na bihoep tamto akhaw pai thil laeh. Thinsennah thuituennah cungkuem neh toeltham lamtah, sim lamtah, hloep laeh.

preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season; convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,

3 Aka cuem thuituennah neh a yaknaem uh pawt vaengah ni a tue a pai eh. Tedae a hoehhamnah bangla amamih kah hnavue aka thak saya rhoek te a kuk uh ni.

for there will be a season when they will not endure the sound teaching, but they will heap up teachers according to their own desires—having an itching ear,

4 Te phoeiah oltak lamkah a hna te a khong uh vetih cil taengla mael uh ni.

and, indeed, they will turn away from hearing the truth, and they will be turned aside to the fables.

5 Tedae nang tah a cungkuem ah cue uh lamtah olthangthen bibi te patang doeah saii. Na bibi te khaw ming lah.

But you—watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of one proclaiming good news; make full assurance of your ministry,

6 Ka phum uh coeng tih ka voeinah tue khaw ha pai coeng.

for I am already being poured out, and the time of my release has arrived;

7 Aka then thingthuelnah te ka thingthuel coeng. Hma te ka khah coeng. Tangnah te ka kuem coeng.

I have striven the good strife, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith;

8 Tahae lamkah kai ham duengnah rhuisam te a khueh coeng. Te te aka dueng laitloekkung boeipa loh tekah khohnin ah kai n'thuung ni. Te phoeiah kai bueng pawt tih a phoenah aka lungnah rhoek boeih te khaw a paek ni.

from now on there is laid up for me the garland of righteousness that the LORD—the Righteous Judge—will give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving His appearing.

9 Kai taengah koe aka pawk la na haam mako.

Be diligent to come to me quickly,

10 Demas loh kai n'phap tih ta kumhal kah he a lungnah. Te dongah Thessalonika la, Kresens te Galati la, Titu te Dalmatia la vik cet. (aiōn g165)

for Demas forsook me, having loved the present age, and went on to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia; (aiōn g165)

11 Ka taengah Luka bueng ni aka om. Marku te lo lamtah namah neh ha puei uh. Kai ham tah bibi dongah congpang koila om.

only Lucas is with me; having taken Mark, bring [him] with you, for he is profitable to me for ministry;

12 Tedae Tukhiko te Ephisa la ka tueih coeng.

and I sent Tychicus to Ephesus;

13 Na lo vaengah Troas kah Karpuh taengah himbai neh cayol olpuei la maehpho ka khueh te hang khuen.

coming, bring the cloak that I left in Troas with Carpus and the scrolls—especially the parchments.

14 Rhohum aka bi Alexander loh kai soah thae muep a tueng sak. Boeipa loh anih te amah khoboe bangla a thuung bitni.

Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil; may the LORD repay to him according to his works,

15 Mamih kah olka te bahoeng a kamkaih dongah nang khaw anih te ngaithuen.

of whom you also beware, for he has greatly stood against our words;

16 Kai kah olthungnah lamhma vaengah kai taengla ha pawk uh pawh. Hlang boeih loh kai n'phap cakhaw amih te ngaiyaknah boel sih.

no one stood with me in my first defense, but all forsook me (may it not be reckoned to them),

17 Tedae Boeipa loh kai m'pai puei tih kai n'thaphoh. Te daengah ni kai lamkah olhoe te a soep sak vetih namtom loh boeih a yaak eh. Te tlam ni sathueng ka lamloh n'hlawt.

but the LORD stood by me, and strengthened me, that the preaching might be fully assured through me, and all the nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion,

18 Boeipa loh khoboe thae boeih lamkah kai n'hlawt vetih vaan kah amah ram khuila n'daem sak ni. Amah te kumhal ah kumhal duela thangpomnah om saeh. Amen. (aiōn g165)

and the LORD will free me from every evil work, and will save [me]—to His heavenly kingdom; to whom [is] the glory through the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Priska neh Aquila, Onesiphor imkhuikho te toidal ne.

Greet Prisca and Aquilas, and Onesiphorus’ household;

20 Erastu te Kawrin ah om tih Trophimu te a tloh dongah Miletu ah ka khueh.

Erastus remained in Corinth, and I left Trophimus ailing in Miletus;

21 Sikca hlanah pawk hamla na haam mako. Ubuluh, Puden, Linu, Kalaudia neh manuca rhoek boeih loh nang kutn'tuuk uh.

be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brothers.

22 Boeipa loh na mueihla te om puei saeh. Lungvatnah tah nangmih taengah om saeh.

The Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit. The grace [is] with you! Amen.
