2 Kawrin 12
1 A rhoeirhoep pawt mai akhaw pomsang hama kuek. Tedae Boeipa kah mangthui neh pumphoenah te ka paan ni.
It behooves me to glory, indeed it is not profitable, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Hnuk kum hlaili ah Khrih dongkah hlang pakhat ka ming. A pum nen nim te ka ming ngawn pawh. A pum a tal khaw ka ming pawh. Vaan a pathum la anih a pom te Pathen loh a ming.
I knew a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, whether in the body, I know not; whether out of the body, I know not, such a one having been caught up even to the third heaven.
3 Tekah hlang te ka ming ngawn daea pum nen nim, pum tal lam nim te ka ming pawh.
And I knew such a man, whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not; God knows,
4 Tedae paradai la a pom te Pathen loh a ming. Te vaengah ol toeklek na pawt tea yaak uh tih hlang pakhat khaw ol thui ham pae pawh.
that he was caught up to Paradise, and heard unutterable words, which it is impossible for a man to speak.
5 Te kah a yueng lam ni ka pomsang eh. Tedae kamah ham he ka vawtthoeknah nen pawt atah ka pomsang mahpawh.
Concerning such a one I will glory: but concerning myself I will not glory, except in my infirmities.
6 Pomsang ham ka ngaih cakhaw hlang ang la ka om pawt vetih oltak ni ka thui eh. Tedae kan hlun pueng. Kai he m'hmuh tih kai kawng te cungvang khaw a yaak vaengah pumphoenah dongkah a puehkan la pakhat long khaw kai he voelh ng'oep boel saeh.
For if I shall wish to glory, I will not be a fool; for I speak the truth: but I fear, lest some one may consider with reference to me above what he sees me, or hears from me.
7 Te daengah ni kamah ka pomsang pawt tangloeng eh. Kai phop hamla Satan kah puencawn loh ka saa te tlaeh neha toeh. Te nen te ka pomsang uh mahpawt nim?
And that I may not be exalted by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given unto me in the flesh, the messenger of Satan that he may buffet me, in order that I may not be exalted.
8 Hekah he kai lamkah khoe sak ham Boeipa te voeithum ka bih.
Three times I called on the Lord concerning this, that it may depart from me.
9 Tedae kamah taengah, “Kai kah lungvatnah tah nang ham rhoeh. Thaomnah tah vawtthoeknah dongah nia soep,” a ti. Te dongah ka vawtthoeknah dongah hlae hlae ka pomsang lat. Te daengah ni Khrih kah thaomnah loh kai n'rhaeh thil eh.
And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most delightfully I will glory the more in my infirmities, in order that the power of Christ may abide on me.
10 Te dongah Khrih yueng la vawtthoeknah nen khaw, olboepnah nen khaw, kueknah nen khaw, hnaemtaeknah citcai nen khaw ka lungtlun uh coeng. Ka tattloel vaengah yoeikoek la ka om van.
Therefore I delight in infirmities, in insults, in difficulties, in persecutions, and in tight places, for Christ's sake: for when I am without strength, then I am dynamite.
11 Hlang ang la ka om khaw nangmih long ni kai nan tanolh uh. Kai tah nangmih kah a oep ham khaw ka kuek pai. A honghi la ka om mai cakhaw caeltueih rhoek kah buhuenga pom te ka phavawt moenih.
I have become a fool: you did compel me. For I ought to be commended by you: for I am not inferior to the very chief of the apostles, if indeed I am nothing.
12 Caeltueih kah miknoek tah uehnah cungkuem neh miknoek la, khobae rhambae la, thaomnah la nangmih taengah thoeng coeng.
For indeed the signs of the apostleship are wrought in me in all patience, in miracles and in wonders and in dynamites.
13 Hlangboel tloe rhoek lakah aka khulae te balae aka om. Te pawt akhaw kai kamah loh nangmih kan thinrhih sak mai pawt nim? Hekah boethae dongah khaw kai ng'rhen uh mai.
For what is that in which you are inferior to other churches, except that I did not burden you? forgive me this wrong.
14 Nangmih taengah a pathum ka pawk ham sikim la ka om coeng he. Tedae nangmih kah koe pawt tih namamih te kan toem dongah ka thinrhih mahpawh. Ca rhoek loh manu napa ham a tung paha kuek moenih. Tedae manu napa long ni ca rhoek ham a tung pah.
Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not spare: for I do not seek yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasures for the parents, but the parents for the children,
15 Kai loh hlae hlae ka vak cakhaw nangmih kah hinglu ham ni ka khok eh. Nangmih tea kum ngai kan lungnah coeng atah kamah ka lungnah he sii mai saeh.
But I will most delightfully spend and be spent for your souls. If the more abundantly I love you am I loved the less?
16 Ana om dae saeh, kai loh nangmih kan nan moenih. Tuengkhuepnah neh hoeih aka om long ni nangmih te kan loh.
But let it he so, I did not burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
17 Amih khuikah pakhat khaw nangmih taengla kan tueih moenih. Anih rhangneh nangmih kan omtoem nim?
Which one of those whom I sent unto you, did I fleece you through him?
18 Titu te ka hloep tih manuca neh kan tueih. Titu loh nangmih te n'omtoem pawt maco? Mueihla ah amah la ka pongpa uh moenih a? Kholaeh khaw amah ah a thikat moenih a?
I called Titus, and sent the brother along with him: whether did Titus defraud you? did we not walk by the same Spirit? did we not in the same tracks?
19 Nangmih taengah ka huul uh tila na poek uh dingrhae coeng. Pathen hmaiah Khrih rhangnen ni ka thui uh. Tedae thintlo boeih tah nangmih kah hlinsainah ham ni.
For a long time you were thinking that I am apologizing to you. We speak before God in Christ; but all things, beloved, are for your edification.
20 Khoem ka pawk vaengah ka ngaih bangla nangmih kam hmu pawt ve ti ni ka rhih. Kai khaw nangmih loh nan ngaih uh pawt bangla m'hmu uh mai, tohhaemnah, thatlainah, thinsanah neh koevoeinah, olthaekaling, thuithetnah, hoemdawknah loh soekloeknah la khoem om ve.
For I fear lest, having come, I may not find you as I wish, and may not be found by you as you wish; lest perhaps strife, jealousy, animosities, selfseekings, calumniations, eavesdroppings, inflations, outfallings, are among you;
21 Koep ka pawk vaengah ka Pathen loh nangmih hmaiah kai n'tlarhoel sak lah ve. Aka tholh rhoek te muep ka nguek thil dae yut uh pawh. Te dongah rhongingnah, Cukhalnah, omthenbawnnah te a saii uh.
lest, I again having come, my God will humble me before you, and I will mourn over many of those having previously committed sins, and not having repented over the uncleanness and the fornication and debauchery which they have done.
