2 Korintuh 11
1 Ka angnak api a awm üng na ngaisim pe ua; na ngaisim pe kcang ua.
I could wish that you would tolerate a little folly in me! But indeed you do tolerate me.
2 Pamhnama kba ning jah k’eihei veng; nangmi cun khyang mat, amät Khritawa khyu vaia ngla ngcim ka tak peta nami kyaki.
I am jealous over you with the jealousy of God. For I promised you in marriage as a pure bride, to one husband – the Christ.
3 Kphyu naw a hleihlaknak am Evah a mhleia kba, nami ngaikyunak pyeh se Khritawa veia nami ng’apnak nami pyai tak vai kyüh veng.
Yet I fear that it may turn out that, just as the snake by his craftiness deceived Eve, so your minds may have lost the loyalty and purity due from you to the Christ.
4 Isetiakyaküng, am kami sanga Jesuh akce sang lü nami veia lawki naküt nami na dokham, keimi üngka naw nami yaha nghmüimkhya la keimi üngka naw nami yaha thangkdawa am kyakia ngmüimkhya la thangkdaw akce nami yaha phäha kyaki!
For, if some newcomer is proclaiming a Jesus other than him whom we proclaimed, or if you are receiving a Spirit different from the Spirit which you received, or a good news different from that which you welcomed, then you are marvellously tolerant!
5 Ngsä kkü he nami ti hea kthaka ka hnem bawk khaia am ngai veng.
I do not regard myself as in any way inferior to the most eminent apostles!
6 Ngthu sangnak üng amimia kba am ka thengvai üngpi, ksingkhyapnak üngta akcunkba am ni; ahin hin nami veia hmün naküt la akcün naküt ngsing khaia kami pawhki he ni.
Though I am no trained orator, yet I am not without knowledge; indeed we made this perfectly clear to you in every way.
7 Nami veia thangkdaw ka sang law üng aphu am kthäk khawi nawng; nami hlüngtainak vaia kamät naw kamät ka hnem sak hin ka katnaka kyaki aw?
Perhaps you say that I did wrong in humbling myself that you might be exalted – I mean because I told you God’s good news without payment.
8 Nami ksunga khutbi ka bi k’um üng sangcim kce he naw na khyengki he. Nangmi ning jah kpüinak vaia phäha ka jah yuteikia kya ve.
I robbed other churches by taking pay from them, so that I might serve you!
9 Acunüng, nami veia ve lü ngui ka hlüei üng pi u am kpyankhaei nawng; jumeiki he Maketawnih khaw üngka naw ami law üng ka hlükaw cun na kpüikie; ahmäi üng am ka ning jah kpyankhaei khaia ka ngcüngceiki, acunkba ka ngcüngcei laih laih khai.
And, when I was with you in need, I did not become a burden to any of you; for our friends, on coming from Macedonia, supplied my needs. I kept myself, and will keep myself from being an expense to you in any way.
10 Khritawa ngthungtak kei üng awmkia kyase, “Ngui am ning jah kthäh nawng” ti lü ka awhcahnak hin Akaijah khaw naküta pi am düt khai ni.
As surely as I know anything of the truth of Christ, this boast, as far as I am concerned, will not be stopped in any part of Greece.
11 Am ka ning jah jawngnaka phäha ahikba ka pyenki aw? Pamhnam naw ksingki.
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows that I do!
12 Tuhkbäih aphu kaa ka bilawha kba tuha pi ka bi khai, isetiüng ngsä kce he naw pi ka bilawha kba bilo nghaki he tia am ami awhcah vaia phäha ni.
What I am doing now I will continue to do in order to cut away the ground from under those who are wishing for some ground for attacking me, so that as regards the thing of which they boast they may appear in their true characters, just as we do.
13 Acuna Khyang he cun ngsä kcanga am kya u lü, ngsä kcanga ngsaihkie ni, amimi cun Khritawa ngsä kcanga mäiha ngdang khaia khutbi biki he ni.
Such people are false apostles, treacherous workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ!
14 Acun cun mün vai am kya; Khawyam pi khankhawngsäa mäiha ngpyang kyuki ni.
And no wonder; for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
15 Acunakyase, ania ngsä he pi ngsungpyunkia ngsä hea kba ami kya üng jah münak vai am kya. Abäihnaka mhmüp üng ami bilawh kunga kba yah law khai he.
It is not surprising, therefore, if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. But their end will be in accordance with their actions.
16 Ka pyen be tüki, u naw pi angkia ä na ngaih kawm. Angkia nami na ngaih üng apica ka awhcahnak vaia angki hlawka na dokham ua.
I say again – Let no one think me a fool! Yet, if you do, at least welcome me as you would a fool, so that I, too may indulge in a little boasting.
17 Ahinkba ka pyen hin Bawipa naw a na pyensaka am kya, angkia kba awhcah lü ka pyen ni.
When I speak like this, I am not speaking as the Master would, but as a fool might, in boasting so confidently.
18 Khyang he naw pumsa lama ami awhcaha kba awhcah law hnga süm vang.
As so many are boasting of earthly things, I, too, will boast.
19 Nami mät nami themkia kyase angki he jekyai u lü nami jah doki.
For all your cleverness, you tolerate fools willingly enough!
20 Khyang naw ning jah tamna na lü, ning jah jawiei lü, nami ka ning jah lawhei pe lü, ning jah hmumsit lü, ning jah kbei sepi khamei ua.
You tolerate a person even when they enslave you, when they plunder you, when they get you into their power, when they put on airs of superiority, when they strike you in the face!
21 Acun he ka jah bilawh vai kyühei veng ti lü ka ng’anei vai cun ngkekhyakei veng. Cunsepi, khyang mat mat awhcah khaia a ling üng angkia kba pyen veng, ani a linga kba kei pi ling veng.
I admit, to my shame, that we have been weak. But whatever the subject on which others are not afraid to boast – though it is foolish to say so – I am not afraid either!
22 Amimi cun Hebru khyang he aw? Kei pi ka kyaki. Isarel khyang he aw? Kei pi ka kya hngaki. Abrahama mjü he aw? Kei pi ka kyaki.
Are they Hebrews? So am I! Are they Israelites? So am I! Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I!
23 Khritawa m'ya he aw? Angkia mäiha ka pyen üng, kei daw bawkia m'yaa kya veng; khüihnak üng aktäa ka kthanaki, thawngim üng kyumnak üng däm bawkia ka kyumki, kpaihnak khawvei khamei lü, thihnak khawvei ka tawki.
Are they “Servants of Christ”? Though it is madness to talk like this, I am more so than they! I have had more of toil, more of imprisonment! I have been flogged times without number. I have been often at death’s door.
24 Judah khyang he naw, thumkip ja kaw vei cia mhma vei ami na kpaih.
Five times I received at the hands of my own people forty lashes, all but one.
25 Romah he naw kthum vei kphi ngpum am ami na kpaih, mata lung am ami na vawih, kthum vei mlawnga pyehnak ka tawki, mthan mat la mhmüp mat tui üng ka awmki;
Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. I have spent a whole day and night in the deep.
26 Ka kdung hünaka khawvei tui hea khana kyühkseki üng, m'yuk’ei hea ksunga kyühkseki üng, Judah khyanga ksunga kyühkseki üng, khyangmjükce hea ksunga kyühkseki üng, khawkhiksea ksunga kyühkseki üng, khawkhyawng khawa kyühkseki üng, mliktuia ksunga kyühkseki üng, bena phawk phawk hea ksunga kyühksekia ka khameiki.
My journeys have been many. I have been through dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in towns, dangers in the country, dangers on the sea, dangers among people pretending to be followers of the Lord.
27 Bawngkha khüihkhawmnak, khawvei am ip lü awmnak, eiawk cawixainak, khawvei buh am einak, ngtungjinak vai la suisak vai am ve lü ka ve pängki.
I have been through toil and hardship. I have passed many a sleepless night; I have endured hunger and thirst; I have often been without food; I have known cold and nakedness.
28 Acuna thea akce am pyena, sangcim he jah ngai lü a mhmüp tä se ka khuikhaki.
And, not to speak of other things, there is my daily burden of anxiety about all the churches.
29 Khyang am kyanki a awm üng am ka kyan hngaki, khyang mat katnak da a ceh üng mlung natnak am ka beki.
Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led astray without my burning with indignation?
30 Ka awhcah üng pi am ka kyanaka mawng ni ka awhcahnak hlü ve.
If I must boast, I will boast of things which show my weakness!
31 Bawipa Jesuha Pa la Mhnama ngming angläta josenak am awmki naw am ka yaileinak cun ksingki. (aiōn g165)
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus – he who is for ever blessed – knows that I am speaking the truth. (aiōn g165)
32 Damateta ka ve k’um üng bawi Aretaha keha awmki yekap he naw ami na man vaia mlüh mkawt cun ngängki he.
When I was in Damascus, the Governor under King Aretas had the gates of that city guarded, so as to arrest me,
33 Acunsepi, kei cun yang üng na ktawk u lü, ngvawng khan üngka na khya u se, acuna sangpuxanga kut üngka naw ka lätki.
but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and so escaped his hands.
