¹I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:

¹Pathian muh leh, mihing leh misite ngaihtuah dingpa Kris Jesu muh in, akilakna leh a gam lou in, phatuamngaitakin ka hon theisak ahi;

²preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.

²Thutuh gen in; ahun ah bang, ahunlou ah bang leng pangzel in; thuakzou taka thuhilh kawmin a siamlouhdan uh theisak inla, taihilh inla, hasuan in,

³For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts;

³Thuhilhna dik a ngaihkhiak ngaplouh hun uh hongtung ding ahi ngal a; abilte uh a zau ziakin amau deihlam bangin heutute a kiang uah a khawm zaw ding ua:

⁴and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.

⁴abilte uh thutak lamah a ngawngsak ding ua, tangthu lam naih in a pial ta ding uhi.

⁵But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.

⁵Nang zaw bangkim ah pilvang in, gimthuak inla, Tanchin Hoih genna lam na sem in nasepna pen tuh hih tangtung in.

⁶For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.

⁶Kei zaw tu in leng luikhiak in ka om lellel ngal a, ka pawt hun a tungta hi.

⁷I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.

⁷Douna hoih tuh ka dou khinta, ki taitehna tuh ka tai khinta, ginna tuh ka lenkip paisuak ta.

⁸From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

⁸Tunahzaw diktatna lallukhu keia ding in koih in a omta, huaituh Toupa vaihawmpa diktat in huaini chiah kei a honpe ding; kei kiang kia hilou in, a kilakna it peuhte kiang ah leng.

⁹Be diligent to come to me soon,

⁹Kintakin ka kiang ah hongpai teitei in; Dema in tulai khawvel a it ziakin a hon paisan a,

¹⁰for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

¹⁰Thessalonika khua ah a paita ngal a; Krisen tuh Galatia gamah a paita hi, Tita tuh Dalmatia gamah a paita hi.

¹¹Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.

¹¹Luke kia ka kiang ah a om hi. Mark chial inla, honpi in, amah tuh nasepna lam ah keia ding in a phatuam ngala.

¹²But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

¹²Taikika zaw Ephesa khua ah ka sawlta hi.

¹³Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.

¹³Nahongpai chiang in Troasi khua a Karpa kiang a puanak tual, huai ka nutsiat, laibute khawng toh hon tawi in, savun lai mahmah hon tawi in.

¹⁴Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works,

¹⁴Aleksandar, dal sun siampa, ka tungah a gilou mahmah hi.

¹⁵of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words.

¹⁵Toupan a thilhih bangzelin a thuk ding; amah lakah nang leng pilvang in, ithu a dou mahmah ngala.

¹⁶At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.

¹⁶Ka siamna thu ka gen masak pen in kuamah himhim in ahon panpih kei ua, a hon zuaisan vek zawta uhi; amohtuh pua in om tuan khawldah uhen.

¹⁷But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

¹⁷Tanchinhoih keimah ziaka hilh kim a a om theihna ding leh, Jentelte tengteng in a zak theihna ding un, Toupan hon-guma a hon hihhat zawta hi; huan, Humpinelkai kam a kipan in suahtaksak in ka na omta ahi.

¹⁸And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom; to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

¹⁸Toupan tuh gitlouhna tengteng lak a kipan in a hon suakta sak dia, a vangam a bittak in a hon tun ding; Amah kiang ah khantawn a thupina om hen. Amen

¹⁹Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.

¹⁹Prisla leh Akuila, Onesifora inkuanpihtetoh, chibai hon buksak in.

²⁰Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.

²⁰Erasta tuh Korinth khua ah a om gige a, Trofima bel Melita khua ah damlou in ka nuseta hi.

²¹Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.

²¹Phalbi ma in hongpai teitei in, Iubala te khawng, Puden te khawng Lina te khawng, Khlodia te khawng, unau tengteng in chibai a hon buk uhi.Toupa tuh na kha kiang ah om hen. Hehpihna na kiang ah om hen. Amen.

²²The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

²²Toupa tuh na kha kiang ah om hen. Hehpihna na kiang ah om hen. Amen.
