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)

For we are conscious that if this our tent of flesh is taken down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in heaven. (aiōnios g166)

2 Maimanaw ni talai im dawk o awh nateh, kalvan im dawk pha hanlah cingou awh.

For in this we are crying in weariness, greatly desiring to be clothed with our house from heaven:

3 Hote hmuen koe pha awh toteh, hmuen tawn laipalah awm a mahoeh.

So that our spirits may not be unclothed.

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.

For truly, we who are in this tent do give out cries of weariness, for the weight of care which is on us; not because we are desiring to be free from the body, but so that we may have our new body, and death may be overcome by life.

5 Hettelah, na ka rakueng pouh e Bawi teh Kathoung Muitha hah lawkawm lah na ka poe e Cathut doeh.

Now he who has made us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a witness 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.

So, then, we are ever without fear, and though conscious that while we are 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 are walking by faith, not by seeing, )

8 Maimouh teh yuem awh toung dawkvah, tak hoi kampek vaiteh Bawipa hoi rei o hanlah hoe ngai awh.

We are without fear, desiring to be free from the body, and to be 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.

For this reason we make it our purpose, in the body or away from it, to be well-pleasing to him.

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 all have to come before Christ to be judged; so that every one of us may get his reward for the things done in the body, 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.

Having in mind, then, the fear of the Lord, we put these things before men, but God sees our hearts; and it is my hope that we may seem right in your eyes.

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 again requesting your approval, but we are giving you the chance of taking pride in us, so that you may be able to give an answer to those whose glory is in seeming, and not in the heart.

13 Bangkongtetpawiteh tamipathu lah ka onae teh Cathut hane doeh. Tami lungkaang lah kaawm awh pawiteh nangmouh hane doeh.

For if we are foolish, it is to God; or if we are serious, 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 it is the love of Christ which is moving us; because we are of the opinion that if one was put to death for all, then all have undergone death;

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 that he underwent death for all, so that the living might no longer be living to themselves, but to him who underwent death for them and came back from the dead.

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.

For this reason, from this time forward we have knowledge of no man after the flesh: even if we have had knowledge of Christ after the flesh, we have no longer any such knowledge.

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.

So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new.

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.

But all things are of God, who has made us at peace with himself through Christ, and has given to us the work of making peace;

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 is, that God was in Christ making peace between the world and himself, not putting their sins to their account, and having given to us the preaching of this news of peace.

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.

So we are the representatives of Christ, as if God was making a request to you through us: we make our request to you, in the name of Christ, be at peace with 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.

For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
