1 Kawrin 16

1 Tami kathoungnaw han pasoumhno na patung e dawkvah Galati ram e kawhmounnaw lawk ka thui e patetlah nangmouh sak van a loe.

Now, concerning the collection which is for the saints, just as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so, also do, ye: —

2 Kai ka tho nah, bout cawng toung laipalah, hnin sari touh dawk apasuek hnintangkuem vah namamouh ni yawhawi na coe awh e patetlah na hnopai sut pâkhueng awh.

Upon the first of the week, let, each one of you, put, by itself, in store, as he may be prospering, —lest, as soon as I come, then, collections, should be in progress.

3 Kai ka tho torei, na ngai awh e tami koe, ca ka thut vaiteh nangmae poehno Jerusalem kho thak sak hanelah ka patoun han.

And, as soon as I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve by letters, these, will I send, to bear away your favour unto Jerusalem:

4 Kai hai cei hanelah awm pawiteh ahnimouh hoi rei ka cei han.

And, if it be meet that, I also, be journeying, with me, shall they journey.

5 Masidonia ram lahoi nangmouh koe ka tho han, bangkongtetpawiteh, Masidonia ram lahoi doeh ka cei han.

Now I will come unto you, as soon as I have passed through Macedonia, —for I do pass through Macedonia,

6 Nangmouh koe dawngdeng ka o han rah. Kasik thapa thung teh nangmouh koe ka o han mue. Nangmouh ni na thak awh han doeh telah ka pouk.

And, with you, I may perhaps sojourn, or winter, that, ye, may set me forward, whithersoever I may be journeying.

7 Atu dueng nangmouh na hmu hanelah ka ngai e nahoeh. Bawipa ni atueng na poe pawiteh nangmouh hoi ka saw lah ka o hane ka ngaihawi.

For I do not wish to see you, just now, by the way; for I hope to remain, some time, with you, —if, the Lord, permit.

8 Pentikos hnin totouh Efisa kho ka o han.

But I remain in Ephesus, until the Pentecost,

9 Bangkongtetpawiteh, aphu kaawm poung e thaw ka tawk thai nahanlah kai hanlah takhang paawng lah ao. Hatei na ka ngang e taminaw hai ao.

For, a door, unto me, hath opened, great and effectual, and, opposers, are many.

10 Timote nangmouh koe tho pawiteh, takinae a tawn hoeh nahan, khenyawn awh. Ahni hai kai patetlah Bawipa e thaw doeh a tawk.

But, if Timothy should come, see that, without fear, he be with you, for, in the work of the Lord, doth he labour, even as, I:

11 Api nang ni hai hnephnap awh hanh. Kai koe bout a pha thai nahan kahawicalah thak awh. Ahni hoi hmaunawngha alouknaw kai ni ka ngaihawi han.

Let no one then despise him; and set ye him forward in peace, that he may come unto me, for I expect him with the brethren.

12 Ka nawngha Apollos teh, hmaunawnghanaw, hoi nangmouh koe cei hanelah, pasawt laihoi ka dei pouh ei, atu cei hanelah khoeroe ngaihoeh. Hmalah kâvoe pawiteh a cei han doeh.

But, concerning Apollos the brother, much, did I beseech him, that he would come unto you, with the brethren, but there was, by no means, any will, that he should come, now; —he will come, however, as soon as he hath good opportunity.

13 Kâhruetcuet lahoi ring awh. Yuemnae dawk kacaklah kangdout awh. Tongpa katang lah awm awh. Na thasai sak awh.

Be on the watch, stand firm in the faith, be men—be strong;

14 Bang hno na sak e pueng lungpatawnae lahoi sak awh.

Let, all your affairs, in love, be carried on.

15 Hmaunawnghanaw, Stiven imthung teh Akhaia ram thung dawk aluepaw lah ao teh, tami kathoungnaw e thaw tawknae dawk a kâhmoun e hah na panue awh.

Now I beseech you, brethren, —ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is a first-fruit of Achaia, and, for the purpose of ministering, they devoted themselves, unto the saints—

16 Ahnimanaw e uknae hai thoseh, kaimouh hoi thaw rei ka tawk e tami pueng e uknae hai thoseh na panue awh nahanlah ka kâhei.

That, ye also, be submitting yourselves unto such as these, —and unto everyone helping in the work and toiling.

17 Stiven, Fortunatas, Akhaikas tinaw a tho awh dawkvah ka lunghawi.

I Rejoice, moreover, in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: because, your own shortcoming, these, have filled up: —

18 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh ni na khetyawt awh teh, kuepcing hoeh rae naw, bout na kuep sak awh dawkvah, kai hoi nangmae lung tha a dam sak awh toe. Hot patetlah e taminaw hah dâw awh.

They have given rest, in fact, unto my spirit, and yours: hold in acknowledgment, therefore, such as these.

19 Asia ram e kawhmounnaw ni nangmouh kut na man awh. Aquila hoi Priscilla ni ama im kaawm e kawhmoun hoi Bawipa dawk nangmouh pueng kut na man awh.

The assemblies of Asia salute you: Aquila and Priscilla, with the assembly meeting at their house, salute you much in the Lord:

20 Hmaunawngha pueng ni kut na man awh. Buet touh hoi buet touh kathounge kâpaconae lahoi kut kâman awh.

All the brethren salute you: —Salute ye one another with a holy kiss.

21 Kai Pawl ni kut mannae ca hah ka kut hoi ka thut.

The salutation of Paul—with my own hand.

22 Apihai Bawipa Jisuh Khrih lungpataw hoeh pawiteh, ahni teh thoebo lah awmseh. Oe! Bawipa tho leih.

If anyone doth not dearly love the Lord, let him be anathema [that is, "accursed"]: Maran atha [that is, "The Lord, cometh"].

23 Maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e lungmanae teh nangmouh koe awm lawiseh.

The favour of the Lord Jesus, be with you.

24 Kaie lungpatawnae teh Khrih Jisuh thung kaawm e nangmouh pueng koe awm lawiseh. Amen.

My love, be with you all, in Christ Jesus.
