¹Paul, Kris Jesua hinna om chiamna thugenna lama Pathian deihdana Kris Jesu sawltakin,

¹Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

²Ka ta deihtak Timothi kiang ah: Pathian leh Kris Jesu a I Toupa kianga kipan hehpihna, zahngaihna, lemna hong om hen.

²To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

³Sun leh zan khawllou a ka thumnatea nang hon theigigein, ka pi ka pu a kipan a sialehpha theihna siangtak neia a na ka sep gigepa, Pathian kiangah kipah thu ka hilh hi.

³I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;

⁴Kipaka ka dim theihna ding in hon muh ka ut mahmah a, na khitui theigige in.

⁴Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

⁵Ginna taktak nangmah a om tuh ka theigige ngala, huai ginna atung in napi Loisi ah a oma, na nu Iunisi ah leng a oma, nangmah ah leng a om chih diktak in kathei hi.

⁵When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

⁶Huaijiakin ka khut ngak ziaka Pathian thilpiak nangmah a ompen mutkuang dingin kahon theisak ahi;

⁶Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

⁷Pathian in launa kha a honpe keia, thilhihtheihna leh itna leh kithuzohna tak neihna a honpe zaw ngala.

⁷For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

⁸Huchiin, I Toupa thu theihsak tuh zumpih kenla, kei a hentapa hon zumpih sam ken. Tanchinhoih ziaka gimthuak Pathian thilhihtheihna dungzuiin hon thuakpih zaw in.

⁸Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

⁹Aman tuh I thilhihte bang hilou in, amah seh leh ama hehpihna bang zaw in a hon hondam a, sapna siangthou in a hon sam hi; huai hehpihna tuh leilung pianma a Kris Jesu-a a honpiak a hita.

⁹Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

¹⁰Himahleh I Hondampa Kris Jesu kilakna ziakin tuin hihlatin a omta hi. Aman tuh sihna hihmang in, tanchinhoihin hinna leh manthat theihlouhna a hihlangta.

¹⁰But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

¹¹Huai tanchinhoih theisak dinga tangkoupihpa leh sawltak leh sinsaktu-a seh ka hi.

¹¹Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

¹²Hiai ziakin ahi, hiai thilte leng kana thuak. Himahleh ka zum kei; ka ginpa tuh ka thei a, akiang a ka kepsak tuh huaini a ding in a vom hoih thei chih diktakin ka thei ngala.

¹²For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

¹³Kris Jesua om ginna leh itna nei in, thudikte ka kama nazakte tuh zui chinten in.

¹³Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴I sunga om Khasiangthou in nang hon kepsak thutak kem hoih in.

¹⁴That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.

¹⁵Asia gam a om tengteng ten a hon nungngatsan uh chih na thei a; alak ua Philgella leh Harmojini a pang uhi.

¹⁵This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

¹⁶Toupan Onesifora inkuanpihte kiangah zahngaihna pia hen aw, aman tuh a hon hihhalh zelzel hi. Ka khainiang but leng a hon zumpih ngalkei a;

¹⁶The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

¹⁷Rome khua a aomlai in leng honlimzona, a hon mukhia hi.Huai ni chiang in Toupa kianga zahngaihna mu ding in Toupan amah tuh sep hen. Ephesa khua a anasep thupidan leng na thei na hi.

¹⁷But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.

¹⁸Huai ni chiang in Toupa kianga zahngaihna mu ding in Toupan amah tuh sep hen. Ephesa khua a anasep thupidan leng na thei na hi.

¹⁸The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
