2 Kawrin 6
1 Kaimouh teh Cathut hoi thaw ka tawk e lah ka o a awh dawkvah, Cathut e lungpatawnae aphu kaawm hoeh lah na o sak awh hoeh nahanlah na thaisak awh.
As God’s fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.
2 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai ka ngainae tueng dawkvah, na lawk na thai pouh toe. Rungngangnae hnin nah na kabawp teh na rungngang toe telah Bawipa ni ati. Khenhaw! atu doeh ngai kaawm e tueng toe. Atu raw doeh rungngangnae hnin toe.
For He says: “In the time of favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the time of favor; now is the day of salvation!
3 Kaimouh ni a thaw tawknae koe ayâ ni a toun hoeh nahan, ayânaw koe tarawknae ka sak awh hoeh.
We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no one can discredit our ministry.
4 Rektapnae, roedengnae, hlout thai hoeh e runae hoi kâhmonae,
Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships, and calamities;
5 hemnae, thongim bonae, ruengruengtinae, yonpennae, ihmuhnapahlanae, kahaionae,
in beatings, imprisonments, and riots; in labor, sleepless nights, and hunger;
6 lungthoungnae, lungangnae, lungsawnae, hawinae, Kathoung Muitha coenae, kâsak laipalah atangcalah lungpatawnae,
in purity, knowledge, patience, and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;
7 Lawkkatang pâphonae, Cathut e bahu kamnue saknae, lannae puengcang avoilah aranglah kâmahrawknae,
in truthful speech and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
8 barinae hoi barihoehnae, oupnae hoi pathoenae, dumyen e patetlah kaawm ei nakunghai hmantang e tami,
through glory and dishonor, slander and praise; viewed as imposters, yet genuine;
9 Apinihai panue hoeh e patetlah kaawm ei nakunghai min kamthang e tami, thei e patetlah kaawm ei nakunghai kahring e tami, yue e patetlah kaawm ei nakunghai theinae hoi kahlout e tami,
as unknown, yet well-known; dying, and yet we live on; punished, yet not killed;
10 a lung ka mathout e patetlah kaawm nakunghai a lung pou kahawi e tami, ka roedeng e patetlah kaawm ei nakunghai tami moikapap ka bawi sak e tami, bangcahai ka tawn hoeh e patetlah kaawm ei nakunghai a cawngca ka tawn e tami lah ka o dawkvah, Cathut ni na ta e a thaw katawkkung katang lah ka o tie hah bangpueng dawk kamcengcalah kamnue sak awh.
sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
11 Kawrin kho kaawm e hmaunawnghanaw kaimae pahni teh nangmouh hanlah a kamawng toe. Kaimae lungthin hai sut a kamawng toe.
We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians. Our hearts are open wide.
12 Kaimouh dawk na khawk awh hoeh. Nangmae lung dawk doeh na khawk awh.
It is not our affection, but yours, that is restrained.
13 Hatdawkvah na pathungnae lahoi nangmae lungthin ka kaw lah paawng awh, telah ka canaw koe lawk ka dei pouh e patetlah na dei pouh.
As a fair exchange, I ask you as my children: Open wide your hearts also.
14 Kayuemhoehnaw hoi cungtalah kânging hoeh e yawcu hrawm awh hanh. Lannae hoi kamsoumhoehe hah bangtelamaw a hmawng thai han vaw. Angnae teh hmonae hoi bangtelamaw reirei ao thai han vaw.
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
15 Khrih hoi Belial teh bangtelamaw lungkânging thai han vaw. Kayuem hoi ka yuem hoeh ni bangmaw cungtalah a coe han vaw.
What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
16 Cathut bawkim hoi meikaphawknaw teh bangtelamaw khuet a kâkuet han vaw. Cathut ni a dei e teh ahnimouh koe ka o han. Ahnimae Cathut lah ka o han. Ahnimouh hai kaie tami lah ao a han ati e patetlah nangmouh teh kahring Cathut e bawkim lah na o awh.
What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.”
17 Hatdawkvah ahnimouh thung hoi tâcawt awh nateh, aloukcalah awm awh, telah Cathut ni ati. Ka khin e hnonaw hah na kut hoi boehai tek awh hanh. Hottelah na tetpawiteh nangmouh kai ni na dâw awh han.
“Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”
18 Kai teh nangmae Pa lah ka o vaiteh, nangmouh hai Kaie canu capa lah na o awh han telah Athakasaipoung e Bawipa ni ati.
And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
