1 Timothy 6

1 As many as are servants under a yoke, their own masters worthy of all honour let them reckon, that the name of God and the teaching may not be evil spoken of;

Sithaw lok amtukhaih hoi Angmah ih ahmin kasaethuihaih oh han ai ah, nihcae ukkung angraeng loe khingya paek han krak, tiah tamnanawk boih mah poek o nasoe.

2 and those having believing masters, let them not slight [them], because they are brethren, but rather let them serve, because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting;

Tamna tawnkung loe kricaa ah om nahaeloe, anih ih tamnanawk doeh Kri ah nawkamya ah oh o pongah, nihcae to khet patoek hmah nasoe; nihcae loe palung koi kaom oepthok na toksah kami ah oh o pongah, nihcae to na bomh aep han oh; hae loknawk hae patuk ah loe, thapaek ah.

3 if any one be teaching otherwise, and do not consent to sound words — those of our Lord Jesus Christ — and to the teaching according to piety,

Mi kawbaktih doeh aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri mah patuk ih Sithaw ah hinghaih lok baktih na ai, anih mah thuih ih lok baktih doeh na ai ah, kalah loknawk patuk kami loe,

4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and word-striving, out of which doth come envy, strife, evil-speakings, evil-surmisings,

amoek kami, tidoeh panoek ai kami, angaek koeh pongah lokdueng kami, uthaih tawn kami, angzoeh koeh kami, minawk kasae thui kami, kahoih ai hmuen sak han poek kami,

5 wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such;

lokpung koeh kami, poeksae tawn kami, loktang lok angqoi taak kami, amekhaih hnuk hanah Sithaw toksah kami ah ni oh o: to baktih kaminawk to ayae ah.

6 but it is great gain — the piety with contentment;

Na tawnh ih hmuen hoiah poek mong ah, Sithaw khaeah angpaekhaih loe kalen parai atho hak han koi oh.

7 for nothing did we bring into the world — [it is] manifest that we are able to carry nothing out;

Hae long nuiah tih hmuen doeh a sin o ai baktih toengah, a caeh o naah tih hmuen doeh a sin o thai mak ai, tito amtueng.

8 but having food and raiment — with these we shall suffice ourselves;

To pongah a tawnh o ih caaknaek hoi khukbuen hoiah poek mong o si.

9 and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction,

Toe angraeng han koeh kami loe pacuekhaih thungah amtimh o moe, thaang pongah amanh o; amthuhaih thungah tui baktiah uem o moe, amrosak thaih taksa koehhaih thungah krak o.

10 for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;

Phoisa palunghaih loe congca zaehaih takungpui ah oh: thoemto kaminawk loe phoisa koeh o hmoek pongah, tanghaih loklam to caeh o taak moe, angmacae hoi angmacae kanung parai palungsethaih ang paek o.

11 and thou, O man of God, these things flee, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness;

Toe nang loe, Sithaw kami ah na oh baktih toengah, to baktih hmuennawk to cawn taak ah; toenghaih, Sithaw koehhaih, tanghaih, amlunghaih, pauephaih, tuinom ohhaihnawk to patom ah.

12 be striving the good strife of the faith, be laying hold on the life age-during, to which also thou wast called, and didst profess the right profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

Tanghaih bang ih kahoih misatukhaih to tuh ah loe, dungzan hinghaih to kacakah patawn ah, to hinghaih hnuk han ih ni nang to ang kawk, hnukung ah kaom paroeai kaminawk hma ah doeh kahoih ah lok na taphong boeh. (aiōnios g166)

13 I charge thee, before God, who is making all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who did testify before Pontius Pilate the right profession,

Tih boih hinghaih paekkung, Sithaw hoi Pontia Pilat hma ah kamtueng ah lok taphongkung, Kri Jesu hma ah lok kang paek;

14 that thou keep the command unspotted, unblameable, till the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri amtueng karoek to, hae lokpaekhaih hae coek koi kaom ai, kasaethuih han koi om ai ah pakuem ah,

15 which in His own times He shall shew — the blessed and only potentate, the King of the kings and Lord of the lords,

Anih loe angmah ih atue phak naah amtuengsak tih, tahamhoihaih ah kaom, maeto khue Ukkung, siangpahrangnawk ih Siangpahrang, angraengnawk ih Angraeng,

16 who only is having immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to see, to whom [is] honour and might age-during! Amen. (aiōnios g166)

kadueh thai ai, mi doeh a taengah caeh thai ai aanghaih thungah kaom loe Anih khue ni; Anih loe mi mah doeh hnu vai ai, hnu doeh hnu thai ai: Anih khaeah pakoehhaih hoi thacakhaih to dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to om nasoe. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

17 Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; — (aiōn g165)

Hae long angraengnawk loe amoek o han om ai, kacak ai hmuennawk nuiah doeh amha o han om ai, toe anghoehaih tawnh hanah hmuennawk boih pop ah paekkung, kahing Sithaw nuiah amha o thai hanah thuitaek ah. (aiōn g165)

18 to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate,

Nihcae loe a sak o thai tawk, kahoih hmuen to a sak o han oh, kavawt kaminawk han hmuenmae a paek o moe, maeto hoi maeto angbomh koehhaih palungthin a tawnh o thai han,

19 treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life age-during.

dungzan hinghaih to a patawnh o poe moe, angzo han koi atue ah angmacae hmuen patunghaih ahmuen kacak a sak o thai hanah thuitaek ah.

20 O Timotheus, the thing entrusted guard thou, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge,

Aw Timote, Sithaw mah ang paek ih hmuen to pakuem ah, Sithaw zithaih tawn ai ah thuih rumram ih loknawk, thoemto kaminawk mah palunghahaih, tiah thuih o ih, long palunghahaih hoiah lok angaek koeh kaminawk to ayae ah:

21 which certain professing — concerning the faith did swerve; the grace [is] with you. Amen.

thoemto kaminawk mah to palunghahaih to tapom o pongah, tanghaih loklam hoiah amkhraeng o ving boeh. Nang khaeah tahmenhaih om nasoe. Amen.
