Thy is one of a set of pronouns that used to be common for the second person singular (that means the person you are talking to, if it's only one person). In Shakespeare's day people started using the forms for second person plural (the people you are talking to, if there is a bunch of them) for the singular form.
Over time, people started using the plural forms all the time and forgot about the singular forms except when reading from the King James Bible.
But in a nutshell, here it is: If I want John and Leopold to give me their books, I would say to them, "John and Leopold, give me your books." If I am talking just to John, I would say "John, give me your book", but I could also say "John, give me thy book." "Thy" means the same as "your" in that context: when you are talking about something belonging to the one person you are speaking to.
Shakespeare might have said either "John, give me your book" or "John, give me thy book" depending on who John was. The "thy" form was used when talking to intimate friends, lovers, children, pets and servants. It is sometimes used as an insult when it would be more appropriate to use "your".

What does contest mean in Shakespeare?
Shakespeare spoke English, so you will not be surprised to find that "contest" means "contest" even on the rare occasions when Shakespeare uses it. Which is, exactly twice. In Coriolanus, Aufidius says, "here I clip/ The anvil of my sword, and do contest/ As hotly and as nobly with thy love/ As ever in ambitious strength I did/ Contend against thy valour." Also it sometimes appears in Midsummer Night's Dream as a misprint or malapropism for "content"

What does Shakespeare mean by the word wife?
Shakespearean language is English, and "wife" in English is "wife". The idea that Shakespeare wrote in a foreign language is as ridiculous as thinking that Australians or rap artists speak a foreign language. Uses of "wife" in Shakespeare include "what tongue shall smooth thy name when I, thy three-hours wife, have mangled it." (Romeo and Juliet), "if once a widow, ever shall be a wife" (Hamlet), "If I be no more, Portia is Brutus' plaything, not his wife." (Julius Caesar)
