1You 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.
2The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men, who will 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.
3You therefore must endure hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
3Kris Jesu sepaih hoihtak bangin gimthuak hon thuakpih in.
4No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of 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;
5Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
5huan, kidemnate bangah leng mi pangmahleh, dan bang a ahih keileh khuksak in a om ngeikei hi.
6The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.
6Lou neipa semgim tuh agah tang masapa ahiding ahi.
7Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you 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 Good News,
8Jesu Kris, David suan, ka tanchinhoih gen banga misi laka kipana thounawnpa thei gige in.
9in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.
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 chosen ones’ 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.
11This saying is faithful: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
11Hiai thugen a dik hi: asihna a isih khit ngalleh, ahinna ah ihing ding hi;
12If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we 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 remains faithful. He can’t deny himself.”
13Eite muanhuailou in om mahleng Amahzaw muanhuai in a om gige hi- Amah leh amah akitheihmawhbawl thei ngalkei a.
14Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they don’t argue about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who 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 yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
15Nasemtu, zumnading neilou, thutak thudiktaka zang, Pathian pomtak hiding a nangmah kipe ding in theihtawpsuah in kizil in.
16But shun empty chatter, for it will go 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 those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
17athu untuh meima sia nek bangin a nezel ding; alak uah tuh Himenaia leh Phileta a pang uhi;
18men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
18huaimiten tuh, thawhnawnna a omkhinta, chi in, thutak lam a paikawisan ua, mikhenkhatte ginna ahihmang sak uhi.
19However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” Numbers 16:5 and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord TR reads “Christ” instead 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 large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for 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 anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for 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.
22Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who 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 refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
23Himahleh kidounate a suaksaknak chih thei in, kiselna haihuai leh pillou ah pang nuam ken.
24The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,
24Toupa sikha in a dou ding ahi kei a, mitengteng tung a siam tum in, thuhilh siam in, gitlouh tunga thuakzou thei in,
25in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full 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 devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to 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.
