1 Timothy 1

1 Christ Jesus sung ah nuntakna kamciam bang in, Pathian deina tungtawn in Jesus Christ i sawltak keima Paul in,

Paul, an apostle of Meshikha Yeshua through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Meshikha Yeshua,

2 Ka it ka tapa Timothy: na tung ah Pa Pathian le i Topa Jesus Christ tung pan thuthiamna, hesuakna le thinnopna hong om tahen.

to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Meshikha Yeshua our Lord.

3 Pu le pa te hun pan kipan in a thiangtho khentel theina taw a na ka sep Pathian ka pok hi, sun le zan in ka thunget na theampo sung ah nangma sia tatsat ngawl in hong phawk tawntung khi hi;

I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day

4 Na thitui te ka phawk ciang in, ka lungdamna a dim thei natu in nangma kong mu nuam mama hi;

longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;

5 Na sung a om upna tatak sia ka phawk ciang in, na pi Lois sung ah a masabel in om a, na nu Eunice sung ah zong om hi; taciang nangma sung ah zong om hi, ci ka um hi.

having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Euniki, and, I am persuaded, in you also.

6 Tua ahikom na tung ah khut ka ngakna tungtawn in na sung a om Pathian letsong sia mei bang in kuangsak tawntung tu, na phaw tawntung tu in kong son hi.

For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

7 Banghangziam cile Pathian in launa thaa hong pia ngawl hi; ahihang vangletna, itna le ngaisutna pha hong pia hi.

For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.

8 Tua ahikom i Topa tettipanna le Ama hang in thongtak keima atu in maizum heak in: ahihang Pathian vangletna bang in lungdamna thupha hang in haksatna a thuakpui hi zaw in;

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,

9 Ama in eite hong ngum a, a thiangtho sapna taw hong sam hi, hi thu sia eite sepna bang hi ngawl in, Ama ngeal na le thuthiamna bang in hi a, tua thu sia leitung ki pat ma in Christ Jesus sung ah hong pia zo hi, (aiōnios g166)

who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Meshikha Yeshua before time began, (aiōnios g166)

10 Ahihang tu in eite hong ngum Jesus Christ hong kilaak na tungtawn in eite tung ah hong kilang hi, Ama in thina bosak a, lungdamna thupha tungtawn in nuntakna le thi thei ngawl na hong kilangsak zo hi:

but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Meshikha Yeshua, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.

11 Tua sung ah keima sia thuhil tu, sawltak le Gentile te hil tu in nasep hongpia hi.

For this, I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.

12 Tua atu in hite ka thuak hi: ahihang ka mai a zum bua hi: banghangziam cile kua um khi ziam, ci ka he hi, taciang Ama tung ah ka ap te sia tua ni ciang dong Ama in keamcing thei hi, ci ka um hi.

For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

13 Christ Jesus sung ah upna le itna thu ka tung pan na zaksa ette tak thupha te khotak in len in.

Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Meshikha Yeshua.

14 Eite sung a om Tha Thiangtho tungtawn in na tung ah hong ap na pha sia keamcing in.

That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Rukha d'Qudsha who dwells in us.

15 Asia sung a om te in hong nungngat uh hi, ci na he hi; tua te sung ah Phygelus le Hermogenes zong kihel hi.

This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

16 Topa in Onesiphorus te innkuan tung ah a hesuakna pia tahen; banghangziam cile ama in tu le tu thathak hong dimsak a, ka thikkol zong hong maizum pui ngawl hi:

May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,

17 Ahihang ama sia Rome ah a om lai in, hanciamtak in hong zong a, hong mu hi.

but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me

18 Tua ni ciang in Topa hesuakna a mu thei natu in Topa in pia tahen: ama in Ephesus ah bangza in hong khoi ziam, ci sia nangma in phatak in na he hi.

(the Lord grant to him to find the Lord's mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
