< 2 Kawrin 13 >
1 Nangmih taengah voeithum ka pawk coeng he. Olka boeih tah laipai panit pathum kaha ka neh a pai puei bitni.
This is the third time that I have prepare to come to you; that, by the mouth of two or three witnesses, every word may be established.
2 Ka thui coeng dongah ni lakhla vaengah khaw aka om pabae bangla ka thui. Tahae ah aka tholh tangtae rhoek neh a tloe boeih te khaw koep ka pawk atah kan hlun mahpawh.
I have before said to you, and again I say to you beforehand, (as also I said to you a second time, while I was with you; and now also, while absent, I write to those who have sinned and to the others, ) that if I come again, I will not spare:
3 Ka khuiah Khrih a cal te loepdaknah neh na toem uh. Anih tah nangmih ah tattloel pawt tih nangmih khuiah tlung ta.
because ye demand proof, that it is the Messiah that speaketh by me, who hath not been powerless among you, but powerful among you.
4 Vawtthoeknah neh tai cakhaw Pathen kaha thaomnah neh hing coeng. Mamih khaw amah dongah n'tattloel uh dae na taengkah Pathen thanomnah neh amah taengah n'hing uh bitni.
For, though he was crucified in weakness, yet he liveth with the power of God. We also are weak with him; yet we are alive with him, by that power of God which is among you.
5 Namamih te noem uh lah, tangnah dongah na om nim. Namamih te nuemnai uh lah. Na khuikah Jesuh Khrih te na hmat uh pawt ve. Te pawt koinih a lolhmaih lam ni na omuh.
Examine yourselves, whether ye stand in the faith: prove yourselves. Do ye not acknowledge that Jesus the Messiah is in you? And if he is not, ye are reprobates.
6 Tedae na ming uh bitni tila ka ngaiuep. Kaimih tah a lolhmaih la ka om uh moenih.
But, I trust, ye will know that we are not reprobates.
7 Nangmih tea thae la n'saii loengloeng pawt ham ni Pathen taengah ka thangthui uh. Kaimih loh ueppang la ka phoe uh mai pawt cakhaw nangmih tah a then mah saii uh mai. Kaimih he a lolhmaih lam khaw ka om uh mai thai.
And I beseech God, that there may be no evil in you, so that the proof of us may appear: and yet, that ye may be doers of good things, though we be as reprobates.
8 Oltak kah a voelah pakhat khaw n'saii thai moenih, oltak ham ni n'saii.
For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth.
9 Kaimih loh ka tattloel uh vaengah nangmih loh tatthai la na om uh dongah ka omngaih uh. Nangmih kah na cungkuemnah ham ni ka thangthui uh van he.
And we rejoice, when we are weak and ye are strong. And this also we pray for, that ye may be perfected.
10 Lakhla vaengah ka daek coeng dongah he ka om vaengah khaw ka rhoidoeng aih mahpawh. Boeipa loh saithainah kai m'paek he hlinsainah ham ni koengloengnah ham moenih.
Therefore, while absent, I write these things; lest when I come, I should act with rigor, according to the authority which my Lord hath given me for your edification, and not for your destruction.
11 A tloihsoi ah manuca rhoek omngaih uh lah, moeh uh lah, hloephoelh uh thae lah, thikat la poek uh lah, rhoep uh thae lah. Te dongah lungnah neh rhoepnah Pathen tah nangmih taengah om saeh.
Finally, my brethren, rejoice, and be perfected, and be comforted: and may harmony and quietness be among you; and the God of love and of peace will be with you.
12 Moknah cim neh khat neh khat toidal uh lah.
Salute ye one another, with a holy kiss.
13 Hlang ciim rhoek boeih loh nangmih te n'toidal uh.
All the saints salute you.
14 Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah lungvatnah, Pathen kah lungnah neh, Cim Mueihla kah rhoinaengnah tah nangmih boeih taengah om saeh.
The peace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
