2 Kawrin 1
1 Pathen kah kongaih dongah Khrih Jesuh kah caeltueih Paul neh manuca Timothy loh, Kawrin kah aka om Pathen hlangboel neh Akhaia pum ah aka om hlangcim boeih taengah kan yaak sak.
Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God--and our brother Timothy: To the Church of God in Corinth, with all God's people throughout Greece.
2 A pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih taeng lamkah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah tah nangmih taengah om saeh.
May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Sitlohnah a pa neh thaphohnah boeih kah Pathen, Pathen neh mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah a napa tah uemom pai saeh.
Heartfelt thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father who is full of compassion and the God who gives all comfort.
4 Kaimih kah phacip phabaem soeprhaep dongah amah loh mamih n'hloep. Te daengah ni Pathen loh mamih n'hloep tih tekah thaphohnah lamloh phacip phabaem soeprhaep dongah aka om rhoek te mamih loh n'hloep thai eh.
He comforts us in our every affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction by means of the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5 Khrih kah patangnah loh mamih taengah a baetawt vanbangla, Khrih rhangneh mamih kah thaphohnah khaw baetawt van.
For just as we have more than our share of suffering for the Christ, so also through the Christ we have more than our share of comfort.
6 Tahae ah n'lawn uh cakhaw nangmih ham thaphohnah neh khangnah la om coeng. N'hloephoelh akhaw nangmih kah thaphohnah la om. Ka patang uh vaengah tekah patangnah tah amah ah uehnah la thoeng.
But if, on the one hand, we are enduring affliction, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if, on the other hand, we are receiving comfort, it is for your comfort which is produced within you through your patient fortitude under the same sufferings as those which we also are enduring.
7 Te dongah kaimih kah ngaiuepnah tah nangmih ham khangmai coeng. Aka ming long tah patangnah neh thaphohnah kah pueipo banglam khaw na om tangloeng.
And our hope for you is stedfast; for we know that as you are partners with us in the sufferings, so you are also partners in the comfort.
8 Manuca rhoek na mangvawt uh ham ka ngaih uh moenih. Mamih kah phacip phabaem bangla Asia ah om. Thaomnah kaha voelah a puehkan la bakba n'hap uh tih mamih hing ham pataeng n'tal uh coeng te.
For as for our troubles which came upon us in the province of Asia, we would have you know, brethren, that we were exceedingly weighed down, and felt overwhelmed, so that we renounced all hope even of life.
9 Tedae mamih tah mah khuiah dueknah te oltloeknahla ng'khueh. Te dongah mah dongah aka pangtung la om uh boel sih lamtah aka duek rhoek te aka thoh Pathen dongah pangtung uh sih.
Nay, we had, as we still have, the sentence of death within our own selves, in order that our confidence may repose, not on ourselves, but on God who raised the dead to life.
10 Amah loh te tluk aih la dueknah lamloh mamih n'hlawt coeng tih n'hlawt bal ni. N'hlawt bal pueng ni tila amah te n'ngaiuep uh.
He it is who rescued us from so imminent a death, and will do so again; and we have a firm hope in Him that He will also rescue us in all the future,
11 Nangmih loh kaimih ham rhenbihnah nen khaw m'bongyong uh. Te daengah ni mamih taengkah maelhmai cungkuem loh kutdoe neh cungkuem la mamih yuengla a uem eh.
while you on your part lend us your aid in entreaty for us, so that from many lips thanksgivings may rise on our behalf for the boon granted to us at the intercession of many.
12 Mamih mingcimnah kah laipai tah mamih kah hoemdamnah la om coeng he. Te tah Pathen kah moeihoeihnah neh cimcaihnah khuikah ni. Te dongah nangmih taengah taoe tah pumsa cueihnah nen pawt tih Pathen kah lungvatnah nen ni Diklai ah kho ka sak uh.
For the reason for our boasting is this--the testimony of our own conscience that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, and in reliance not on worldly wisdom but on the gracious help of God, that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and above all in our relations with you.
13 Nangmih ham kan daek uh phoeiah na tae uh tih na ming uh te khaw a tloe moenih, a bawtnah te na hmat uh bitni tila ka ngaiuep.
For we are writing to you nothing different from what we have written before, or from what indeed you already recognize as truth and will, I trust, recognize as such to the very end;
14 A cungvang neh kaimih nan hmat uh vanbangla mamih Boeipa Jesuh kah khohnin ah nangmih khaw kaimih kah, kaimih khaw nangmih kah thangpomnah la n'om uh.
just as some few of you have recognized us as your reason for boasting, even as you will be ours, on the day of Jesus our Lord.
15 A pabae la lungvatnah na dang uh ham te pangtungnah neh nangmih taengla pawk ham ka cai lamhma.
It was because I entertained this confidence that I intended to visit you before going elsewhere--so that you might receive a twofold proof of God's favour--
16 Tedae nangmih taeng longah Makedonia la ka lan vetih, Makedonia lamloh nangmih taengla koep ka pawk vaengah nangmih loh Judea la n'thak uh.
and to pass by way of Corinth into Macedonia. Then my plan was to return from Macedonia to you, and be helped forward by you to Judaea.
17 He tlam he ka cai dongah a phoeng la ka rhoidoeng van moenih. Ka thui te khaw pumsa nim? Te dongah a tak te a tak bangla, a hong tah a hong bangla kamah taengah rhep om saeh.
Did I display any vacillation or caprice in this? Or the purposes which I form--do I form them on worldly principles, now crying "Yes, yes," and now "No, no"?
18 Pathen tah uepom la om ta. Tedae a hong a tak khaw kaimih kah olka he nangmih taengah a om moenih.
As certainly as God is faithful, our language to you is not now "Yes" and now "No."
19 Nangmih taengah Pathen capa Jesuh Khrih ni mamih loh n'hoe. Kai neh, Silvanas neh, Timothy lamloh a hong a tak he a om moenih. Tedae Boeipa amah dongah tah a tak ni aka om.
For Jesus Christ the Son of God--He who was proclaimed among you by us, that is by Silas and Timothy and myself--did not show Himself a waverer between "Yes" and "No." But it was and always is "Yes" with Him.
20 Pathen kah olkhueh a yet vanbanglaa tak he amah dongah ni a om. Te dongah mamih ah thangpomnah om ham khaw, amah dongah Pathen te Amen n'tiuh.
For all the promises of God, whatever their number, have their confirmation in Him; and for this reason through Him also our "Amen" acknowledges their truth and promotes the glory of God through our faith.
21 Tedae te long te Khrih ah kaimih neh nangmih he n'cak sak tih Pathen loh mamih he n'koelh coeng.
But He who is making us as well as you stedfast through union with the Anointed One, and has anointed us, is God,
22 Mamih khaw amah loh kutnoek n'daeng thil tih mamih thinko ah mueihla cungah te m'paek coeng.
and He has also set His seal upon us, and has put His Spirit into our hearts as a pledge and foretaste of future blessing.
23 Kai tah ka hinglu dongah Pathen ni laipai la ka khue. Nangmih n'hlun dongah ni Kawrin la ka pawk pawh.
But as for me, as my soul shall answer for it, I appeal to God as my witness, that it was to spare you pain that I gave up my visit to Corinth.
24 Nangmih kah tangnah te ka buem uh moenih. Tedae tangnah neh na pai uh coeng dongah nangmih kah omngaihnah dongah bibipuei la ka om uh.
Not that we want to lord it over you in respect of your faith--we do, however, desire to help your joy--for in the matter of your faith you are standing firm.
