2 Corinthians 5
1 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)
Mamih kah diklai dap im te a phae atah, Pathen kah a imsak, kut neh saii mueh dungyan im te vaan ah ng'khueh uh coeng tila m'ming uh. (aiōnios g166)
2 For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,
Tahae ah ng'huei uh ngawn cakhaw vaan lamkah mamih imlo khuiah thingcam ham ni n'rhingda uh.
3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
Rhep m'bai uh ngawn koinih m'pumtling pawt khaw m'ming uh sue.
4 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.
Dap ah aka om rhoek tah bakba n'hap uh tih n'huei uh. Tekah te pit ham pawt tih thingcam ham ng'ngaih uh. Te daengah ni hingnah loh aka duek thai te a yoop eh.
5 And God has prepared us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a pledge of what is to come.
Hekah boeih ham Pathen loh mamih n'thoeng sak tih, mamih taengah Mueihla cungah m'paek.
6 Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.
Te dongah n'sayalh uh taitu tih Boeipa taeng lamkah m'vi uh vaengah pumsa ah n'naeh uh te m'ming uh.
7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Mikhmuh nen pawt tih tangnah nen ni m'pongpa uh.
8 We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
N'sayalh uh dongah pumsa lamkah m'vi uh ham neh Boeipa taengah naeh ham te n'lungtlun uh ngai.
9 So we aspire to please Him, whether we are here in this body or away from it.
Te dongah n'naeh akhaw, m'vi uh akhaw amah kolo la om ham te tlungmu uh van sih.
10 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.
Mamih he Khrih kah khotloeng hmaiah boeih a phoe hama kuek. Te daengah ni pakhat rhip loh pumsa kah khoboe te bangla, a thae khaw, a then khaw a dang eh.
11 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.
Boeipa te rhihnah koila aka ming rhoek loh hlang ng'koilaw uh. Pathen taengla m'phoe uh coeng dongah nangmih kah mingcimnah dongah khaw phoe coeng tila ka ngaiuep.
12 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.
Nangmih taengah kamamih ka oep uh thae bal moenih. Tedae kaimih yueng thangpomnah ham tah nangmih taengah rhoidoengnah la kam paek uh. Te daengah ni thinko khuikah pawt tih maelhmai dongah aka pomsang rhoek te a moeh uh thai eh.
13 If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
Ka limlum uh cakhaw Pathen ham, ka muet uh cakhaw nangmih ham.
14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.
Khrih kah lungnah loh mamih n'nan dongah ol a tloek he. Pakhat loh hlang boeih yueng a duek dongah hlang boeih tah duek coeng.
15 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.
Tedae hlang boeih yueng laa duek daengah ni aka hing rhoek long khaw amah amah aha hing uh pawt eh. Anih te amih yueng la duek tih thoo coeng ta.
16 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.
Te dongah tahae lamkah tah kaimih loh pumsa la kam ming uh moenih. Khrih te pumsa la m'ming uh ngawn dae tahae ah m'ming uh voel pawh.
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!
Te dongah hlang pakhat loh Khrih ah a om atah suentae thai la om coeng. A rhuem tah khum tih a thai la om coeng he.
18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
A cungkuem he Pathen kah ni. Amah loh Khrih ah amah taengla mamih m'moeithen tih moeithennah bibi te mamih m'paek coeng.
19 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.
Pathen tah Khrih ah om tih amah ham Diklai a moeithen. Amih kah tholhdalhnah te amamih taengah thoelh pah voel pawh. Mamih taengah khaw moeithennah olka te a khueh coeng.
20 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.
Te dongah Khrih yueng la ka laipai uh. Kaimih ah Pathen kah n'hloep vanbangla Pathen neh na moeithen uh ham te Khrih yueng la kan hloep uh.
21 God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
Tholh aka ming pawt te mamih kongah tholh laa saii. Te daengah ni amah ah Pathen kah duengnah dongah mamih loh ng'om uh eh.
