1Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
1Huchiin, nang, kata, Kris Jesu a hehpihna om ah thil hihtheihna nei in om in.
2And the things which thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
2Huan theihpih tanpite laka ka kam a thu nazakte, huaite mi muanhuai, midangte hilhsawn theidingte kiang ah kemsak in.
3Suffer hardship with [me], as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
3Kris Jesu sepaih hoihtak bangin gimthuak hon thuakpih in.
4No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of [this] life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
4Sepaih a om ding a atelpa kipahsak theihna dingin, sepaih kuamah kidoulai in hiai damsung khosaknate in a ki subuai ngeikei a;
5And if also a man contend in the games, he is not crowded, except he have contended lawfully.
5huan, kidemnate bangah leng mi pangmahleh, dan bang a ahih keileh khuksak in a om ngeikei hi.
6The husbandmen that laboreth must be the first to partake of the fruits.
6Lou neipa semgim tuh agah tang masapa ahiding ahi.
7Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things.
7Kathugentak ngaihtuah in; Toupan tuh banglam peuha ah theihtheihna honpeding ahi ngala.
8Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel:
8Jesu Kris, David suan, ka tanchinhoih gen banga misi laka kipana thounawnpa thei gige in.
9wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.
9Huai tanchinhoih ziakin thilhihkhialpa bangin hen hialin gimna bang ka thuakzel ahi; himahleh Pathian thu tuh hen in a om ngalkei a.
10Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
10Huaziakin, Kris Jesu a hotddamna tuh khantawna thupina toh a muhsam theihna ding un, telte ziakin bangkim ka thuak gige hi.
11Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him:
11Hiai thugen a dik hi: asihna a isih khit ngalleh, ahinna ah ihing ding hi;
12if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us:
12ithuakleh avaihawmna ah vai ihawm sam ding hi; Amah iki theihmohbawl leh Aman leng hon kitheihmohbawl ding hi;
13if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself.
13Eite muanhuailou in om mahleng Amahzaw muanhuai in a om gige hi- Amah leh amah akitheihmawhbawl thei ngalkei a.
14Of these things put them in remembrance, charging [them] in the sight of the Lord, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hear.
14Hiai theisak inla, thute leltak tunga akisel louhna ding un Toupa muh in phatuamngaitakin theisak in; huai kiselna tuh bangmah a phatuam kei a, angaikhete ading in siatna ahizaw nak hi.
15Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.
15Nasemtu, zumnading neilou, thutak thudiktaka zang, Pathian pomtak hiding a nangmah kipe ding in theihtawpsuah in kizil in.
16But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
16Ahihhangin, Pathian zahlouh lam thugen mawkmawkte khawng nungngat san in; huchibang mite tuh Pathian limsaklouhna lam ah a pai gamla semsem ding ua,
17and their word will eat as doth a gangrene: or whom is Hymenaeus an Philetus;
17athu untuh meima sia nek bangin a nezel ding; alak uah tuh Himenaia leh Phileta a pang uhi;
18men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some.
18huaimiten tuh, thawhnawnna a omkhinta, chi in, thutak lam a paikawisan ua, mikhenkhatte ginna ahihmang sak uhi.
19Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.
19Himahleh, Pathian suangphum kip tuh ading nalai a, hiai chiamtehna tuh a nei hi: Toupan amah ate athei, chihleh Toupa min lou peuhmah in diktatlouhna paisan hen, chih.
20Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some unto honor, and some unto dishonor.
20Himahleh in thupi ah tuh tuium belsuan dangkaeng leh dangka a bawlte kia a om kei a, sing leh bellei a bawlte bangleng a om hi; khenkhatte manphataka a zat a om a, khenkhatte tuh manphalou tak a zat leng a om sam hi.
21If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, meet for the master's use, prepared unto every good work.
21Huaziakin, mi huai thil giloute lak a akihep leh, tuium belsuan mahpha taka a zat ding, siangthou, Toupa zattak, nasep hoih chiteng dia mansa, ahi ding hi.
22after righteousness, faith, love, pace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
22Himahleh valnou duhgawlnate khawng taisan inla, lungtang siangthou a Toupa lou peuhmahte lak a diktatnate, ginnate, itnate, lametnate delh in.
23But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes.
23Himahleh kidounate a suaksaknak chih thei in, kiselna haihuai leh pillou ah pang nuam ken.
24And the Lord's servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing,
24Toupa sikha in a dou ding ahi kei a, mitengteng tung a siam tum in, thuhilh siam in, gitlouh tunga thuakzou thei in,
25in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth,
25a dou ding a kibawlte tuh thunuailuttakin a thuhilh zaw ding ahi. Huchi in Pathian in thutak tuh atheihna ding un a kisiksak zenzen kha ding a,huchiin khua a hon theithei ding ua, amau te suaklehsal a man a a utut a bawlpa Diabol thang a kipan a suakta thei ding uh.
26and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto his will.
26huchiin khua a hon theithei ding ua, amau te suaklehsal a man a a utut a bawlpa Diabol thang a kipan a suakta thei ding uh.
