2 Kawrin 5
1 Rim lah kaawm e maimae talai im a ro torei teh, kalvannaw dawk tami kut hoi sak hoeh e, Cathut ni a sak e yungyoe im ao tie hah panue awh. (aiōnios g166)
Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is dismantled, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. (aiōnios g166)
2 Maimanaw ni talai im dawk o awh nateh, kalvan im dawk pha hanlah cingou awh.
For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,
3 Hote hmuen koe pha awh toteh, hmuen tawn laipalah awm a mahoeh.
because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
4 Het talai rim dawk o awh navah, hnokari phu hoi cingou awh. Hottelah cingounae teh, hote rim hah ceitakhai han ngai dawk nahoeh. Kadout thai e tak heh hringnae koe pha hane hoi kangning e dawk kâen hane ngai dawk doeh.
So while we are in this tent, we groan under our burdens, because we do not wish to be unclothed but clothed, so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life.
5 Hettelah, na ka rakueng pouh e Bawi teh Kathoung Muitha hah lawkawm lah na ka poe e Cathut doeh.
And God has prepared us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a pledge of what is to come.
6 Hatdawkvah, maimouh teh pout laipalah yuemnae tawn awh. Hete tak dawk o awh lahun nah Bawipa hoi kâhla awh tie panue awh.
Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.
7 Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimouh teh mithmu e hno tho laipalah, yuemnae lahoi doeh hring awh.
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
8 Maimouh teh yuem awh toung dawkvah, tak hoi kampek vaiteh Bawipa hoi rei o hanlah hoe ngai awh.
We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
9 Hatdawkvah maimouh teh takthai dawk o awh nakunghai, kâhla awh nakunghai, Bawipa ni a ngai e tami lah o awh nahanlah panki awh.
So we aspire to please Him, whether we are here in this body or away from it.
10 Bangkongtetpawiteh, tak dawk thoehawi sak e pueng hmu awh nahanelah, maimouh pueng teh Khrih e lawkcengnae tungkhung hma lah koung kamnue awh han.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad.
11 Hatdawkvah, Cathut takinae teh panue awh dawkvah taminaw hah pâhlawp awh. Maimae kong teh Cathut hmalah a kamnue toung dawkvah, nangmae lungthin haiyah a kamnue toe telah ka ngaihawi.
Therefore, since we know what it means to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is clear to God, and I hope it is clear to your conscience as well.
12 Kaimouh teh kamamouh hoi kamamouh hmalah kâoup awh e nahoeh. Hatei, lungthin khen laipalah, alawilae meilam dueng khet hoi kâoup e taminaw e lawk hah nangmouh ni bout na pathung awh thai nahanlah kaimouh hoi kâkuen lah kâoupnae hmu awh nahanlah doeh nangmouh na poe awh.
We are not commending ourselves to you again. Instead, we are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who take pride in appearances rather than in the heart.
13 Bangkongtetpawiteh tamipathu lah ka onae teh Cathut hane doeh. Tami lungkaang lah kaawm awh pawiteh nangmouh hane doeh.
If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
14 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Khrih e a lungpatawnae ni maimouh teh muen na kayo awh. Tami buet touh ni tami pueng hanelah dout pawiteh tami pueng hai a due a van toe.
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.
15 Hottelah tami pueng hane Bawipa ni a duenae teh, kahring e naw ni ma hanelah hring toung laipalah, ahnimouh hanelah kadout ni teh bout ka thaw e Bawipa hanelah a hring awh nahane doeh.
And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again.
16 Hatdawkvah atu hoi teh, apihai takthai koe lahoi panuek awh hoeh toe. Maimouh ni Khrih hah takthai koe lahoi hmaloe panue awh nakunghai atuvah hottelah panuenae awmhoeh toe.
So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
17 Hatdawkvah apipatet hai Khrih thung awm pawiteh sak katha e lah ao. Hno karuem pueng a kahma teh hnocawngca pueng teh a katha toe.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!
18 Hetnaw pueng teh Cathut koehoi e doeh. Cathut ni Jisuh Khrih lahoi maimanaw teh ama hoi bout na kâmaihawinae sak awh toe. Hote bout kâmaihawinae thaw hah maimouh koe na poe awh.
All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
19 Hote kamthang teh Cathut ni Khrih thung ao teh, talaivan e yon hah pâkuem pouh hoeh toe. Taran a roum sak teh, ama hoi bout na kâmaihawinae sak toe. Hote bout kâmaihawinae hah maimouh koe na poe awh.
that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
20 Hatdawkvah, maimouh teh Khrih e laicei lah o awh. Cathut hoi bout kâmaihawi awh leih titeh Khrih yueng lah kaimouh ni na hroecoe awh.
Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.
21 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut ni yon ka tawn hoeh e hah maimouh hane kecu dawk yon ka tawn e lah ao sak. Hot hateh, maimouh pueng ni Khrih lahoi Cathut e lannae koe pha thai nahane doeh.
God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
