< 2 Corinthians 11 >

1 I hope you will bear with a little of my foolishness, but you are already doing that.
Kai kah anglatnah te bet na yaknaem uh mai mako, tedae kai nan yaknaem uh gawn.
2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
Pathen kah thatlainah vanbangla nangmih ham ka thatlai. Nangmih te tongpa pakhat taengkah oila cuem bangla Khrih taengah nawn ham kan oei.
3 I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.
Ka rhih mai pawt cakhaw, rhul loh amah kah rhaithinah neh Eve a hoilae bangla, nangmih kah poeknah loh moeihoeihnah neh Khrih dongkah cimcaihnah te ham poeih ve ne.
4 For if someone comes and proclaims a Jesus other than the One we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit than the One you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it way too easily.
Hlang tloe te aka pawk loh Jesuh a tloe hoe ngawn cakhaw anih te n'hoe uh moenih, na dang uh noek pawh mueihla tloe, na doe uh noek pawh olthangthen a tloe na dang uh akhaw, balh na yaknaem uh ngawn.
5 I consider myself in no way inferior to those “super-apostles.”
Te dongah caeltueih rhoek kah buhuenga pom te phavawt pawh ka ti mai.
6 Although I am not a polished speaker, I am certainly not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every way possible.
Tedae olka ka lol cakhaw mingnah dongah tah ka lol pawh. Te dongah nangmih kah cungkuem dongah cungkuem la phoe coeng.
7 Was it a sin for me to humble myself in order to exalt you, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?
Tholhnah aka saii bangla ka tlarhoel daengah a nangmih na pomsang uh eh? Pathen kah olthangthen te nangmih hama yoeyap lam ni ka phong.
8 I robbed other churches by accepting their support in order to serve you.
Hlangboel rhoek a hloeh la ka rheth tih nangmih kah bibi paang te ka bawt a?
9 And when I was with you and in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have refrained from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.
Nangmih taengah aka om tih aka vawtthoek pataeng pakhat khaw ka thinrhih sak moenih. Ka vawtthoeknah te Makedonia lamkah aka pawk manuca rhoek long nia doo. Cungkuem dongah kamah khaw nangmih taengah hoengpoek la ka tuem uh vanbangla ka tuem uh pueng ni.
10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.
Ka khuiah Khrih kah oltak om ta. Te dongah ka khuikah hoemdamnah he tah Akhaia pingpang ah khaw buem uh mahpawh.
11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
Balae tih, nangmih kan lungnah pawh? Pathen loh a ming ngawn.
12 But I will keep on doing what I am doing, in order to undercut those who want an opportunity to be regarded as our equals in the things of which they boast.
Tedae ka saii coeng te tah ka saii pueng ni. Te daengah ni rhoidoengnah aka ngaih rhoek kah rhoidoengnah te ka haih pah pueng eh. Te neh a pomsang uh daengah ni mamih bangla a hmuh uh van eh.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
Amih laithae caeltueih rhoek neh khuplat bibikung rhoek loh Khrih kah caeltueih bangla sa uh.
14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
Tedae Satan loh amah neh amah vangnah puencawn la a sa uh te ngaihmang ham om pawh.
15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.
Anih kah tueihyoeih rhoek loh duengnah kah tueihyoeih rhoek bangla sa uh mai cakhaw olpuei moenih. Amih kaha hnukkhueng tah a khoboe vanbangla om bitni.
16 I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
Koep ka thui, pakhat long khaw kai he ang tila poek uh boeh. Te pawt cakhaw aka ang banglam khaw kai n'doe uh mai. Te daengah ni kai loh pakhat lam khaw bet ka pomsang van eh.
17 In this confident boasting of mine, I am not speaking as the Lord would, but as a fool.
Ka thui te Boeipa banglam pawt tih anglat vaengkah banglam ni hoemdamnah he ngaikhueknah neh ka thui.
18 Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I too will boast.
A yet loh pumsa neh a pomsang uh dongah ka pomsang van ni.
19 For you gladly tolerate fools, since you are so wise.
A cueih neh aka om long ni aka ang rhoek te khaw liplip na yaknaem uh.
20 In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or exalts himself or strikes you in the face.
Nangmih te pakhat loh sal m'bi sak akhaw, pakhat loh n'yoop akhaw, pakhat loh han loh akhaw, pakhat loh m'poe akhaw, pakhat loh na maelhmai ah n'thoek akhaw na yaknaem uh coeng.
21 To my shame I concede that we were too weak for that! Speaking as a fool, however, I can match what anyone else dares to boast about.
Kaimih loh ka vawtthoek uh te rhaidaeng la ka ti. Tedae te nen te khat khat long nia ngaingaih mai atah anglat la ka thui te ka ngaingaih mai coeng.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
Hebrew hlang laa om atah kai khaw ka om van. Israel ca la om uh atah kai khaw ka om van, Abraham kah tiingan la om atah kai khaw ka om van.
23 Are they servants of Christ? I am speaking like I am out of my mind, but I am so much more: in harder labor, in more imprisonments, in worse beatings, in frequent danger of death.
Khrih kah tueihyoeih laa om uh atah Kai loh muep ka angsai puei tih ka thui ngai ta. thakthaenah nen khaw ka tahoeng, thongim khuiah khaw vawptawp, lucik nen khaw nainoe, dueknah nen taitu.
24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
Judah rhoek lamkah voei nga ka yook tih likip ham pakhat vel a ngaih.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked. I spent a night and a day in the open sea.
Voei thum m'boh uh. Vai n'dae uh. Sangpho loh voei thum m'poci puei, vuenhlaem tuidung khuiah ka yoka sut.
26 In my frequent journeys, I have been in danger from rivers and from bandits, in danger from my countrymen and from the Gentiles, in danger in the city and in the country, in danger on the sea and among false brothers,
Yincaehnah khaw ninoe, tuiva kah khoponah, dingca kah khoponah, namtu lamkah khoponah, namtom lamkah khoponah, kho khuikah khoponah, kohong kah khoponah, tuipuei kah khoponah, laithae manuca kah khoponah loh yet.
27 in labor and toil and often without sleep, in hunger and thirst and often without food, in cold and exposure.
thakthaenah neh patangnah dongah mikhue la ka om taitu. Khokha neh tuihalh dongah yaehnah neh ka om taitu. Khosik khuiah ka kolvang sut.
28 Apart from these external trials, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.
Te bueng kolla hlangboel boeih kah mawntangnah tah hnin takuem ka thinrhihnah laom.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with grief?
U khaw a tattloel vaengah tah ka tattloel moenih a? U khaw a khah vaengah tah kai n'rhoh moenih a?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
Pomsang hama kuek atah ka vawtthoeknah dongkah te ka pomsang eh.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is forever worthy of praise, knows that I am not lying. (aiōn g165)
Ka laithae pawt te kumhal due uemom la aka om Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh kah a napa loh a ming. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas secured the city of the Damascenes in order to arrest me.
Damasku ah kai tuuk ham te manghai Aretas kah khotawt loh Damasaku kho khaw a tawt.
33 But I was lowered in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his grasp.
Tedae voeihang neh bangbuet lamloh pangbueng kaep ah n'hlak dongah ni amih kut te ka poeng ka hal.
