< 2 Corinthians 12 >

1 I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to gain, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.
Nga khuupook ah laseeka bah uh, ngah khuupook roh ete anglang. Enoothong ngah ih mot amang nyia Teesu ih tiitwu halang tiit ah baat ang.
2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows.
Asih paangbaji ngani rangmong echoong thoon ni kristaan mina wasiit siitwanta warah ngah ih jat ehang (Enoothong erah ngah ih tajatkang amiidi tam ang kotaaja adoleh mot amang sok kotaaja—Rangte ih luulu ba jat ah.)
3 And I know that this man—whether in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows—
Ngah we dopjeng lang, arah mih ah Wojum ni siitwanta (Erah uh, amiimi tam ang kotaaja tam aleh mot amang angko taaja—Rangte ih luulu ba jat ah), eno erah di heh ih jengkhaap lam ih lami dongbaat theng nyia mina tuikhoop ni lami jeng theng japchaatta.
4 was caught up to Paradise. The things he heard were too sacred for words, things that man is not permitted to tell.
5 I will boast about such a man, but I will not boast about myself, except in my weaknesses.
Erah raangtaan ih nga teewah suh takhuupook kang —enoothong arah mina asuh khuupook lang, nga teewah larook lata asuh ba khuupook lang.
6 Even if I wanted to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me,
Ngah khuupook e ang bah uh, engak tah e kang, mamah liidi ngah ih ami tiit ah lekbaat angdoh ah. Enoothong ngah takhuupook kang, tiimnge liidi sen ih ngah jiin nawa tiimjih tup tan nyia chaat tan ah, erah o suh ang abah uh nga tiit ah ehan ih rangbaat thuk suh ngah tanookkang.
7 or because of these surpassingly great revelations. So to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
Enoothong epaatjaajih jirep ah japtup thoidoh naktoom khuupook ah li ano, nga hansi ni sattitih ih chamthuk tahang, erah langla nga siiwi chamnaang thuk suh nyia thungjoong thuk suh Soitaan kaamwah ih satthuk ah likhiik ih ang thukta eno takhuupook thuk tahang.
8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
Erah khoisat ah deesiit raangtaan ih Teesu suh nga rangsoom ni jaajom baattang.
9 But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.
Enoothong heh ih ngaakbaat tahang: “An raangtaan ih nga minchan ah laaleh ang ah, tiimnge liidi larook lata ang udi nga chaanphaan ah rakla.” Erah thoidi, nga larook lata ang angdi, nga pangte Kristo chaanphaan asuh tenroon anglang.
10 That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Kristo thoilam di, larook lata, thaangju kaanse, echam enaang, siiwii nyia echeh echaan loong ah roongje roh e hala. Tiimnge liidi ngah larook lata ang angdi, tathat eh hoon lang.
11 I have become a fool, but you drove me to it. In fact, you should have commended me, since I am in no way inferior to those “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.
Ngah thungko likhiik ih reeraang lang—enoothong erah sen ih reeraang thuk hali. Nga tiit roong seebaatte ah sen angjih angtan. Tiimnge liidi lidoh tiim lajo ang kangbah uh, sen loong “kaamwah” wahoh loong nang ih ngah ehin tah angkang.
12 The true marks of an apostle—signs, wonders, and miracles—were performed among you with great perseverance.
Sen jaachi ni paatjaajih nyia epaattek etheng jirep ah enaan lam ih re kangno ngah kaamwah ngeh ih noisok halan.
13 In what way were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
Chaas wahote nang ih ethih mamah miili he, ngun akom di ba sen suh talaalom tahang? Erah raangtaan ih lalangka mok reetang ah biin anaan hoon weehe.
14 See, I am ready to come to you a third time, and I will not be a burden, because I am not seeking your possessions, but you. For children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
Arah ih jaajom ang ah ngah sen reeni dongkhoom suh ban khookham hang—enoothong sen taangnawa tiim uh tasuh rumra. Ngah ih ngun tajam kang, sen loong ba jam rumhala. Tiimnge liidi, hesuh hehsah loong ih henuh hewah loong suh tajam koka, henuh hewah ih ba jamkoh ah
15 And for the sake of your souls, I will most gladly spend my money and myself. If I love you more, will you love me less?
Sen loong chosok raangtaan ih ngaapuh ngaasak dowa ih nga jiinni tiim jeela, erah loong kot suh nga tenroon lang. Nga ih ehan eh nook rum kohaano sen ih tatam nookri?
16 Be that as it may, I was not a burden to you; but crafty as I am, I caught you by trickery.
Erah suh nook anbah, nga raangtaan ih sen sootboot theng tah angta. Enoothong mararah ih mokli an, ngah maakthih maklang nyia sen mokwaan suh tiit hu baatrum hala ngeh ah.
17 Did I exploit you by anyone I sent you?
Mamah ma ang ah? Ngah ih kongphaak kotte daapkaat tahang loong ah jun ih sen loong ah tam put thuk rum taha?
18 I urged Titus to visit you, and I sent our brother with him. Did Titus exploit you in any way? Did we not walk in the same Spirit and follow in the same footsteps?
Sen reeni kaat thuk suh Taitaas lasih jotang, eno heh damdi wahoh hanpiite nep wakra thuk tahang. Sen ih Taitaas ih nep eput eh tahe tam liihan? Sek wanyiinyi jisiit mootkaat raang ih phoosiitsiit tanih reeti tih?
19 Have you been thinking all along that we were making a defense to you? We speak before God in Christ, and all of this, beloved, is to build you up.
Sen loong ih mokthun an madoh dowa ih seng ih seng tiit asuh ese ih baat hi ngeh ah. Emah tah angka! Joon awaan loong Rangte ngathong ni, tiim re ih bah uh sen chosok suh nyia Kristo ih jeng thuk he ah likhiik ih ba jengli.
20 For I am afraid that when I come, I may not find you as I wish, and you may not find me as you wish. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, rage, rivalry, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.
Ngah erah raacho lang, sen reenah raahang adoh nga thung jun doh lah ang, adoleh sen thung jun doh uh lah ang ma mok japtup jang oh ngeh ah. Ngah choolang ah langla, rookmui jengmui adoleh khaada mui, tenkhat nyia lup aleek, kaanju nyia mokwaan mui, joobaat waanbaat mui, miksuh siikhaam mui, adoleh lalang lajang khuupook arah ma japtup jang oh ngeh ah.
21 I am afraid that when I come again, my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of their acts of impurity, sexual immorality, and debauchery.
Nga erah raacho lang, alih adoh dong raahang adoh sen ngathong nah Rangte ih kaanju ete ang halang, eno ehakdi data nyia ehuh eleek, roomjup roomtong loong rangdah lah sekthun loong ah raangtaan ih ngah ehu ete—erah langla neng loong ramka nyia roomjup roomtong thoidoh ang ah.
