¹Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;

¹Paula, Pathian in Hondampa leh Khrist Jesu, I Lamet, thupiak banga Kris Jesu sawltak in:

²Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

²Ginna a ka ta taktak Timothi kiang ah: Pathian I Pa leh, Kris Jesu I Toupa kiang a kipan, hehpihna, zahngaihna, lemna hong om hen.

³As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

³Masidonia gama ka hoh dek laia konnget bangin Ephesa khua ah om gige in, huchia mi khenkhat thugin tuam himhim sinsak lou dinga na hilh theihna dingin.

⁴Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

⁴Huan Pathian lama phattuamna, ginnaa ompen hiloua, kiselna leh gintakthu gen khawng omsak lel tangthu lel khang thu sui zohlouh peuh buaipih sam lou dinga na hilh theihna dingin:

⁵Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

⁵Eiten thuhilh ding I kep pen bel lungtang siangthou leh sialehphatheihna siang leh ginnah taktak akipana pawt itna ahi zaw ngala.

⁶From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

⁶Mi khenkhatten hiaite pialsanin thuginalou genna lamah a vakmangta ua.

⁷Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

⁷A thu gen uh leh thil ahi-a agente uleng bang ahia chih theiloupe in, dan hilhmite hih a ut nak uhi.

⁸But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

⁸Dan jaw a hoih chih I thei ngal ua, min a zat hoih peuhmah uleh.

⁹Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

⁹Ahia lah, dan jaw mi dikatte adinga bawl ahi keia, dan kalhte leh dan lou a omte ading, Pathian limsakloute leh khialte mi siangthouloute leh Pathian zahloute, pate that khawng leh nute that khawng, mihing that khawng.

¹⁰For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

¹⁰kingaihhat khawng ading, tawkohuk khawng a ding, mihing gukhat khawng a ding, juauthei khawng a ding, kichiam khemkhem khawng a ding leh

¹¹According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

¹¹phat tuak Pathian tanchinhoih thupi hilhna dik ka kiang a kepsak bang kalha om thil dang himhim a dinga leng bawl ahi jaw hi.

¹²And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

¹²A honhihhatpa Kris Jesu I Toupa kiangah kipahthu ka gen hi, muanhuai a honsak a, a nasempa dia a hon chih tak jiakin;

¹³Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

¹³tumalamin Pathian gensepa leh sawipa leh hihsemi nahita mahleng; himahleh, ginglou pia theilou a hih ka hih jiakin ahi, zahngaihna ka namuh tak;

¹⁴And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴huan, I Toupa hehpihna tuh, gina leh Kris Jesua itna in nakpi takin a dimletta.

¹⁵This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

¹⁵Kris Jesu khialte hondam dingin khovel ah a hongpai chih tuh ataksanhuai in a laktuak mahmah hi. A lak ua khialpen ka hi;

¹⁶Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

¹⁶himaleh, hiai jiakin ahi zangaihna ka na muh: Jesu Kris in a dohzohna kim akhialpen keimaha a latsak theihna ding ahi, huai tuh tubansiah khantawna hinna muhna dinga Amah hon gingta ding-te adia etsakna hi ding in.

¹⁷Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁷Kumpipa khantawna om, setheilou, muhtheihlouh, Pathian tak kia, khantawna zahtak leh thupiin om hen, Amen.

¹⁸This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;

¹⁸Ka tapa Timothi aw, na tungtang genkholhnate toh kituakin, hiai mohpuakna leh thuhilhna konpia, huchia huai thute-a hilha om a, kidouna hoih na dou heihna ding in,

¹⁹Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

¹⁹ginna leh sialehpha theihna siang tak len chinten in, Mi khenkhatten huai sialehpha- theihna tuh paikhia in ginna lamah long sia bangin a kekseta uhi;huaite lakah tuh Himenai leh Aleksandar a tel ua; Pathian gensiat louh a chin theihna ding un amau tuh Setan ka peta hi.

²⁰Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

²⁰huaite lakah tuh Himenai leh Aleksandar a tel ua; Pathian gensiat louh a chin theihna ding un amau tuh Setan ka peta hi.
