2 Kawrin 2

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

For I have determined, unto myself, this—not, again, in grief, to come unto you.

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, grieve you, who then is he that is to gladden me, —save he who is being grieved through 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 this very thing—lest, if I came, I should have, grief, from those over whom I had need to rejoice, —having confidence in you all, 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 tribulation and anguish of heart, wrote I unto you, through many tears, —not that ye might be grieved, but that, the love, ye might know, which I have very abundantly unto 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.

Now, if anyone hath caused grief, not unto me hath he caused grief, but—that I may not bear too heavily—unto you all.

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

Sufficient, unto such a one, the punishment itself 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 should forgive and encourage, lest, by any means, by his excessive grief, such a one should be swallowed up.

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

Wherefore, I beseech you, assure him, of love;

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, I also wrote, —that I might know the proof of you, whether, in all things, ye are obedient.

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.

Now, to whom ye forgive anything, I, also; for, I also, what I have forgiven, if, anything, I have forgiven, for your sake, in the person of Christ, [have I forgiven it].

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

Lest we should be overreached by Satan, for, of his thoughts, we are not ignorant.

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

Moreover, although I came unto Troas for the glad-message of the Christ, and a door for me had been opened in 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 relief in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but, taking my leave of them, I came away 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, unto God, be thanks, who, ever, leadeth us in triumph in the Christ, and, the fragrance of the knowledge of him, maketh manifest, through us, 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.

That, of Christ, a grateful odour, are we, unto God, —in them who are being saved, and in them who are being lost:

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.

In these, indeed, a fragrance out of death into death, but, in those, a fragrance out of life into life. And, for these things, who is sufficient?

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, driving a petty trade with the word of God; but, as of sincerity, but, as of God, before God, in Christ, we speak.
