1Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
1Vaihawmte leh thuneite lak a kitahlut dingdan bang, thuman dingdan bang, thilhoih chiteng hihngap dingdan bang,
2to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.
2kuamah gensiatlouh dingdan bang, vuallem loua omlouh dingdan bang, mitengteng lak a thunuailutna chiteng hihlang a, nunnem ding bang in amaute theikhethak saknawn in.
3For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
3Eileng nidanglai in haitakte, thumangloute, khema omte, utna leh kipahna chiteng semte, gilou leh hazat hat a omte, kihhuaite, kihawtuahte ihi ngal ua,
4But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,
4Himahleh Pathian, I hondampa migitdan leh mihing tung a aitdan a hong kilat lai in,
5not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
5Diktatna a eiten thil ina hihte ziak hilou- in, a chitna bangzel a pianthakna a sawpin leh Khasiangthou- a thaksakna in eite a hon hondamta hi.
6whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;
6Huai Khasiangthou tuh Jesu Kris I Hondampa vangin nakpitakin itung ah a sung bawta hi,
7that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
7Huchia, ahehpihna a siamtansak a oma, lametna a tangtawn hinna gou luahte ihih theihna ding in.
8This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;
8Hiai thugen a dik ahi. Hiai thilte na phut chiltel kon deih ahi, huchia Pathian gingta sa ten thil hoih hih ding a a pilvan theihna ding un; hiaite tuh mihingte a ding in ahoih in a phatuam uhi.
9but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
9Himahleh dotna haihuaite, khangthu suina te, kiselnate, dan thu a kilaina te zaw nungngat san zel in; huaituh thil phatuamlou leh bangmahlou ahi ngal a.
10Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning;
10GInna tuam neimi zaw khatvei nihvei hilh nungin deih ken;
11knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
11Huchibang mi tuh a lampial in a gilou ahi chih nathei uh, amah mah siamlouh kitangsak ahi ngala.
12When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
12Artema hiam, Taikika hiam, na kiang a ka hon sawl chiang in, Nikopoli khua ah ka kiang ah hongpai teitei in; hiailai a phalbi zat ka tum ngal a.
13Send Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.
13Zena, dan theipa, leh Apoloin bangkim a taksap louhna ding un, a zinna uah phatuamngai takin masuan in.
14Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
14I miten leng, gahlou a a om louhna ding un, taksapna khawktakte a ding in thilhoih hih zel ding in zil uhen.Kakiang a om tengteng in chibai a hon buk uhi. Ginna a kei honitte chibai honna buk sak in. Na vek ua kiang ah hehpihna om hen. Amen.
15All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
15Kakiang a om tengteng in chibai a hon buk uhi. Ginna a kei honitte chibai honna buk sak in. Na vek ua kiang ah hehpihna om hen. Amen.
