1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus—by injunction of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope, —

I lametna Topa Jesus Christ le eite hong tan Pathian i thupiakna tungtawn in Jesus Christ i sawltak Paul in;

2 unto Timothy, my true child in faith: favour, mercy, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Upna sung ah ka tapa tatak Timothy tung ah: i Pa Pathian le i Topa Jesus Christ tung pan in thuthiamna, hesuakna le thinnopna hong om tahen.

3 Even as I exhorted thee to remain in Ephesus, when I was journeying into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some—

Mi pawlkhat te hilna dang hil ngawl tu in, na vaithak thei na tu, Macedonia ka pai lai in, Ephesus ah om nginge tu in nangma kong thum zo hi,

4 Not to be teaching otherwise, nor yet to be giving heed to stories and endless genealogies, —the which, bring, arguings, rather than that stewardship of God which is with faith; —

Phuatawm tangthu te le tawp hun nei ngawl khang thu te thupisak ngawl tu in vaitha in, tabang te in ki nialna piangsak a, Pathian mi hi na lamsang khangtosak ngawl hi.

5 Now, the end of the charge, is love—out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned, —

Tu in thupiakna a tawpna sia a thiangtho thinsung, khentel thei na pha le upna tatak sung pan in a piang itna a hihi:

6 Which some, missing, have turned them aside unto idle talk,

Tua thu pan in pawlkhat te lampial uh a mannung ngawl kammal sang ah kihei uh hi;

7 Desiring to be law-teachers, —not understanding, either what they say or whereof they confidently affirm.

Amate i son te le amate in kipsak a hi hunlam zong he ngawl in, thukhamhil sya te hi nuam lai uh hi.

8 Now we know that, excellent, is the law, if one put it to a lawful use: —

Ahihang mi khat in thukham bang in a zang ahile thukham sia pha hi, ci i he hi;

9 Knowing this—that, to a righteous man, law, doth not apply, but to the lawless and insubordinate, ungodly and sinful, irreligious and profane, smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers, murderers,

Hi thu ciamte in, thukham sia mi thutang te atu in a ki vawt hi ngawl hi, ahihang thukham nei ngawl te le thu ni ngawl te, Pathian nei ngawl te le mawnei te, a thiangtho ngawl te le Pathian a thusimngawl te, pa te a that te le nu te a that te,

10 fornicators, sodomites, man-stealers, liars, false- swearers, —and, if anything else, unto the healthful teaching, is opposed; —

Pumpi ki zuak pa te, pa le pa paktat te, mihing ngu te, leilot thu son te, leilot kamciam vawt te, hil na man langpan te atu a hihi;

11 According to the glad-message of the glory of the happy God, with which entrusted am, I.

Tabang hilna man sia thupha Pathian i lungdamna thupha vanglian taw ki phu ngawl a, keima tung ah hong ap hi.

12 Grateful, am I unto him that empowered me, Christ Jesus our Lord, in that, faithful, he accounted me, putting me into ministry, —

Taciang hong thahatsak i Topa Christ Jesus lungdam ka ko hi, banghangziam cile Ama in thuman in hong ngaisun a, Pathian nasepna sung ah hong koi hi;

13 Though, formerly, a defamer, and persecutor, and insulter; nevertheless mercy was shown me, because, without knowledge, I acted, in unbelief:

Keima sia nidang in ngual sonsia, ngual a vawtsia le ngual supna tu a vawt ka hihang: hesuakna ka sang hi, banghangziam cile up ngawl na sung ah he ngawl in ka vawt hang hi.

14 Yet exceeding abundant was the favour of our Lord, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

Taciang i Topa i thuthiamna sia Christ Jesus sung ah upna le itna taw dim in let hi.

15 Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy, —that, Christ Jesus, came into the world, sinners, to save: of whom, the chief, am, I;—

Christ Jesus sia mawnei te ngum tu in hileitung ah hongpai hi, a ci sia a thuman kammal hi a, a vekpi in san tak hi; tua mawnei te sung ah keima sia a mawbel ka hihi.

16 Nevertheless, on this account, was mercy shewn me, —that, in me, the chief, Christ Jesus might shew forth his entire longsuffering, for an ensample of them about to believe on him unto life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)

Ahihang nidang ciang in tawntung nuntakna atu a um lai tu te atu ettte tu in, keima mawneibel tung ah Jesus Christ in a thinsauna theampo hong kilangsak a, a hesuakna ka sang hi. (aiōnios g166)

17 Now, unto the King of the ages, —incorruptible, invisible, alone God, be honour and glory, unto the ages of ages, Amen! (aiōn g165)

Tu in tawntung Kumpi, a thi thei ngawl, ki mu thei ngawl, a cialcing Pathian khatbek omsun tung ah zatakna le minthanna a tawntung in om tahen. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 This charge, I commit unto thee, child Timothy, According to the prophecies, running before on thee, in order that thou mightest war, with them, the noble warfare.

Ka ta Timothy awng, nangma huvau a hun bo sa sung ah mailam thu pualakna a om bangin hi thupiakna sia na khut sung ah muangin kong ap hi. Phatak in ngal na do thei natu in hi kammalte ngalhiam in zang in a,

19 Holding faith and a good conscience, —which some, thrusting from them, concerning their faith, have made shipwreck: —

Na upna kholet in, thinsung thiangtho na nei tan. Mihing pawlkhat a thinsung uh pan, a piang thu te um ngawlin upna lalsak uh hi.

20 Of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to be defaming.

Tuate sung ah, Haimenias le Alexander zong kihel a; amate sia mindaisak ngawl tu in a sin thei na tu Satan tung ah ka ap zo hi.
