2 Korin 2

1 Palungsethaih hoiah nangcae khae kang zoh let han ai boeh, tiah lok ka takroek boeh.

For I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.

2 Nangcae palung kang set o sak ving nahaeloe, palung ka setsak ih kaminawk mah ai ah loe, mi mah maw kai palung anghoesak tih?

For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?

3 Kang hoehaih loe nangcae boih anghoehaih ah oh, tiah oephaih ka tawnh, kang zoh naah, kai anghoesak kaminawk khae hoiah palungsethaih ka hnuk moeng han ai ah to tiah ca kang tarik o.

And I wrote this very thing, so that, when I came, I would not have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.

4 Nangcae nuiah kating ai amlunghaih ka tawnh, tiah na panoek o moe, palung na set o han ai ih ni patangkhanghaih, poek amtanghaih, paroeai mikkhraetui krakhaih hoiah ca kang tarik o.

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.

5 Nangcae thung ih kami maeto mah palung saesak nahaeloe, anih mah kai palung na saesak ai, nangcae thung ih thoemto kaminawk mah ni palung ang set o sak: nangcae raihaih tongsak han ka koeh ai.

But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.

6 Kapop kami mah khaeh ih lok baktiah ni kami maeto mah sakpazae ih hmuen pongah danpaek han oh.

Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;

7 Palungsethaih mah pazawk hmoek han ai ah, to baktih zaehaih sah kami to buenglueng tamlet ah na tahmen o moe, na pathloep o lat han oh.

so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.

8 To pongah anih na palunghaih to tangtang ah amtuengsak hanah kang pacae o.

Therefore I urge you to confirm your love toward him.

9 Hmuen boih ah ka thuih ih lok baktiah na sak o maw sah ai, tiah panoek hanah hae ca hae kang tarik o.

For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.

10 Zaehaih na tahmen o ih kami to, kaimah doeh ka tahmen toeng: kawbaktih zaehaih doeh ka tahmen nahaeloe, nangcae rang hoiah ni Kri ah ka tahmen:

Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

11 to tih ai nahaeloe Setan mah aicae pazawk moeng tih: aicae loe anih pacaenghaih panoek kami ah ni a oh o.

that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

12 Kri tamthanglok hoih thuih hanah Troas vangpui ah ka caeh naah, Angraeng mah kai hanah loklam ang paongh pae,

Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,

13 kam nawk Titu to ka hnu ai pongah, poek monghaih roe ka tawn ai: to pongah kalah hnukbang kaminawk to ka caehtaak moe, kaimah loe Macedonia prae ah ka caeh.

I had no relief for my spirit, because I did not find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.

14 Anih panoekhaih loe hmuihoih ah oh moe, ahmuen kruekah Kri panoekhaih pungsak hanah, Sithaw mah aicae abom pongah, vaihi Kri ah aicae han taahaih hnusakkung, Sithaw khaeah oephaih om nasoe.

Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.

15 Pahlong kaminawk hoi kanghmaa kaminawk hanah, aicae loe Sithaw khaeah Kri ih hmuihoih ah ni a oh o:

For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;

16 aicae loe anghmaa kami maeto hanah duek khoek to duekhaih hmuihoih ah a oh o, kalah pahlong kaminawk hanah loe hinghaih paekkung hinghaih hmuihoih ah a oh o. To tih nahaeloe hae hmuen hoiah akoep kami mi maw kaom?

to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

17 Aicae loe Sithaw ih lok amrosak, pop parai kaminawk baktiah a om o ai: palung angpaekhaih hoiah Sithaw koehhaih baktiah ni, Sithaw hmaa ah Kri tamthanglok to a thuih o.

For we are not, like so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.
