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, I say, is the third time I am coming to you: and at the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word 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 said before, and I again tell you beforehand, as if I were present the second time; and being absent I now write to those who have sinned heretofore, and to all the rest, 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.

since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but is 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 if He was crucified as from weakness, yet He now liveth by the power of God: for we also are weak in Him, but shall live with Him by the power of God manifested to 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 be in the faith; prove yourselves: do ye not know yourselves to be such that Jesus Christ is in you? unless ye are reprovable.

6 Tedae na ming uh bitni tila ka ngaiuep. Kaimih tah a lolhmaih la ka om uh moenih.

But I hope ye will soon know that we are not disapproved.

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.

I pray to God that ye may do no evil: and not that we may appear to be approved by your punishment, but that ye may do that which is good, though we should seem to be disapproved.

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 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.

For we rejoice when we exert not our power, and when ye are strong: as this is what we wish, even your perfection.

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 I write these things while absent, that when present I may not use severity, according to the power which the Lord hath given me for edification, and not for 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, farewel: be reformed, be exhorted, be of one mind, live in peace: and the God of love and peace will be with you.

12 Moknah cim neh khat neh khat toidal uh lah.

Salute one another with an holy kiss.

13 Hlang ciim rhoek boeih loh nangmih te n'toidal uh.

All the saints salute you. May the favor of the Lord Jesus Christ,

14 Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah lungvatnah, Pathen kah lungnah neh, Cim Mueihla kah rhoinaengnah tah nangmih boeih taengah om saeh.

and the love of God, and the communication of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
