2 Kawrin 10
1 Nangmouh hoi rei o nateh banghai na dei ngam awh hoeh, ahlanae koehoi taran kahawi na ti awh e kai Pawl ni Khrih e lungdo lungnemnae lahoi na thaisak awh.
Moreover, I, Paul, myself, exhort you, through the meekness and considerateness of the Christ, —I who, to look upon, indeed, am lowly toward you, but, absent, am bold towards you; —
2 Nangmouh koe ka pha awh navah, talai ngainae patetlah o hoeh nahan na kâ awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, talai ngainae patetlah ao ati e a kamnue hoeh nahan lah.
I entreat, however, that, when present, I may not be bold with the assurance wherewith I think to be daring against some who account of us as though, according to flesh, we were walking, —
3 Kaimouh ni kâtuk nah ka hno e puengcang teh talai tak ngainae dawk hoi ka tuk e lah tho hoeh.
For, though, in flesh, we walk, not, according to flesh, do we war, —
4 Kaimouh ni kâtuknae koe ka hno awh e senehmaica teh takthai na hoeh. Cathut e thaonae dawk hoi kho rapanimnaw ka raphoe thai e senehmaica doeh.
For, the weapons of our warfare, are not fleshly, but mighty, by God, unto a pulling down of strongholds, —
5 Hote senehmaica hoiyah taminaw e pouknae, Cathut panuenae kangangkung kâoupnae pueng a raphoe teh, a cawngca e lungpouknae pueng hah a man a katek teh, Khrih lawk a ngâi sak awh.
When we pull down, calculations, and every height that uplifteth itself against the knowledge of God, and when we bring into captivity every thought unto the obedience of the Christ,
6 Nangmouh ni lawk na ngâi awh toteh, lawk ka ngai hoeh e naw pueng teh hmantang vah lawkceng hanelah coungkacoe lah ka o.
And when we hold ourselves, in readiness, to avenge all disobedience, as soon as your obedience shall be fulfilled!
7 Nangmouh ni hnopai pueng a vanlong doeh na khet awh. Apinihai mahoima Khrih dawk ka o tie na yuem pawiteh ahni ni Khrih dawk ao e patetlah ahnimouh ni Khrih dawk onae hah bout pouk hanlah a ngai.
The things that lie on the surface, ye are looking at: —if anyone hath come to trust in himself that he is, Christ’s, this, let him reckon, again, with himself—that, even as, he, is Christ’s, so, also are, we.
8 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmanaw hah raphoe hanelah tho laipalah roung sak hanelah Bawipa ni na poe e kâtawnnae a kong dawk, kâoup payon nakunghai kayak mahoeh.
Yea, if, somewhat more abundantly, I should boast concerning our authority—which the Lord hath given for building up and not for pulling you down, I shall not be put to shame, —
9 Kai ni nangmouh ca na patawn e teh pakhinae lah pouk sak hane na ngaikhai hoeh.
That I may not seem as though I would be terrifying you through means of my letters;
10 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Pawl e canaw teh ari teh bahu a tawn ei, ama kâhmo awh toteh a tha kayoun e hoi a pâpho e hai banghai bari hane kawi awmhoeh ka tet e tami na o awh.
Because, The letters, it is true (saith one), are weighty and strong, but, the presence of the body, is weak, and, the discourse, contemptible; —
11 Hottelah ka dei e naw ni lamhla hoi ka thut e ca hoi nangmouh koe ka o nah ka tawk ka sak hane heh banghai kâvaihoehnae awmhoeh tie hah panuek naseh.
This, let such a one reckon—that, what we are, in our word, through means of letters, being absent, such, also, being present, are we, in our deed.
12 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaimouh teh ahnimouh hoi ka bangnue ngam awh hoeh. Ahnimouh teh buet touh hoi buet touh a ka bangnue awh teh, ka pathu e lah ao awh.
For we dare not class or compare ourselves with some who do, themselves, commend; but, they, among themselves, measuring, themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without discernment!
13 Kaimouh teh kamamae coungnae hloilah ka pholen awh hoeh. Cathut ni na hmoun pouh e a thaw dawk dueng doeh kâoup awh. Hote thaw teh nangmouh koe totouh ka tawk awh.
We, however, not as to the things without measure, will boast ourselves, but, according to the measure of the limit which God apportioned unto us, as a measure—to reach as far as even you!
14 Nangmouh koe totouh phat hoehpawiteh, kaimouh ni ka tapuet lah ka sak awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Khrih kamthang dei laihoi nangmouh koe totouh ka pha awh toe.
For, not as though we were not reaching unto you, are we over-stretching ourselves, for, as far as even you, were we beforehand in the glad-message of the Christ:
15 Hatdawkvah Cathut ni na hmoun pouh e thaw hloilah tami alouknaw ni a tawk e thaw hah ka noe awh hoeh. Kaimouh ka ngaihawi e teh na yuemnae a roung vaiteh Cathut ni na hmoun pouh e khori thungvah hoe ka kaw lah thaw tawk han tie hah doeh.
Not, as to the things without measure, boasting ourselves in other men’s toils, but having, hope—your faith, growing—among you, to be enlarged, according to our limit for something beyond, —
16 Nangmae ram hloilah kamthang kahawi ka dei hanelah ka ngaihawi awh. Ayânaw ni a tawk tangcoungnae hmuen koe kaimouh ni ka kâoup awh hoeh.
Unto the regions beyond you, to carry the glad-message: not, within another man’s limit, as to the things made ready, to boast ourselves.
17 Hatdawkvah kâoup han ka ngai e tami teh Cathut dawk kâoup naseh.
He that boasteth, however, in the Lord, let him boast;
18 Bangkongtetpawiteh, yuemkamcu e tami teh amahoima kâtalue e tami nahoeh, Cathut ni a lungkuep e tami hah doeh.
For, not he that commendeth himself, he, is approved, but he whom, the Lord, doth commend.
