2 Kawrin 2

1 Te dongah nangmih taengah kothaenah la koep lo pawt ham ka ko ka taam coeng.

But I determined this with myself, that my next visit to you should not be in sorrow.

2 Kai loh nangmih te kang kothet sak cakhaw kamah loh kan kothet sak rhoek pawt atah u long kai n'uum?

For if I make you sorrowful, who is there to make me glad but he that is made sorrowful by me?

3 Ka pawk vaengah kothaenah ka khueh pawt ham ni hekah he ka daek. Amih kaha omngaih ham ni ka kuek. Nangmih boeih kah omngaihnah te kai kah omngaihnah ni tila nangmih boeih te kan ngaitang thil coeng.

And I wrote about this very matter, that I might not on my coming have sorrow from those who ought to gladden me, having confidence in all of you, that my joy is the joy of you all.

4 Phacip phabaem neh thinko ngaisaknah boeih lamloh mikphi puem neh nangmih ham kan daek te, nangmih te kothet sak ham pawt tih lungnah muep ka khueh te na ming uh van ham ni.

For out of much distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that ye should be made sorrowful, but that ye might know the exceeding love which I have for you.

5 Tahae ah khat khat loh n'kothet sak cakhaw kai n'kothet sak moenih. Tedae cungvang ah pataeng nangmih boeih te kan thinrhih sak moenih.

But if any one hath caused grief, he hath caused it not to me alone, but in a measure, not to be too severe on him, to all of you.

6 Hlanga yet kah toelnah he amih taengah cung mai coeng.

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

7 Te dongah nangmih loh khodawkngai neh a khuplat la lat hloep uh mai. Amih tah kothaenah muep dolh mai boel saeh.

so that on the contrary ye ought rather to forgive, and console him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

8 Te dongah tebang hlang taengah lungnah cak sak ham nangmih kan hloep.

Wherefore I beseech you to confirm your love toward him.

9 Cungkuem dongah olngai la na om uh nim tila nangmih kah khinngainah te ming ham ni he khaw ka daek.

For to this end also I wrote, that I might know by putting it to the proof, whether ye are obedient in all things.

10 Amih khat khat na rhen bangla ka rhen van. Kai loh khodawk ka ngai te tah nangmih ham ni mebang hlang khaw Khrih mikhmuh ah khodawk ka ngai.

But to whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also; for what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes I forgave it in the person of Christ,

11 Te daengah ni Satan rhangneh n'omtoem uh pawt eh. Anih kah poeknah soah mangvawt boel sih.

that Satan might not gain an advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

12 Khrih kah olthangthen ham Troas la ka pawk. Te vaengah Boeipa loh kai ham thohka a ong.

Now when I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, and a door had been opened to me by the Lord,

13 Ka mana Titu ka hmuh pawt dongah ka mueihla hilhoemnah om pawh. Tedae amih te ka phih tih Makedonia la ka cet.

I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia.

14 Tedae Khrih ah mamih khophoeng aka pha sak taitu tih, mamih ah amah mingnah a bova la hmuen takuem ah aka ul sak Pathen te lungvatnah sih.

But thanks be to God, who always exhibiteth us in triumph in Christ, and manifesteth through us the odor of the knowledge of him in every place.

15 A khang rhoek lakli neh aka poci rhoek lakli ah khaw Pathen taeng lamloh Khrih kah botui la n'om uh.

For we are to God a sweet odor of Christ among those who are being saved, and those who are perishing;

16 Amih te dueknah taengah dueknah kah a hoipai la bet, khat rhoek tah hingnah taengah hingnah kah a hoipai la om uh. Te dongah he neh ulae aka ting eh.

to the latter we are the odor of death, producing death; and to the former the odor of life, producing life. And who is sufficient for these things?

17 Pathen kah olka aka yoi la muep ka om uh moenih. Tedae Pathen taeng lamkah vanbangla, cimcaihnah neh Khrih khuiah ni Pathen hmaiah ka thui uh.

For we are not as the many, who adulterate the word of God; but as from sincerity, but as from God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.
