2 Corinthians 12
1 As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
A rhoeirhoep pawt mai akhaw pomsang hama kuek. Tedae Boeipa kah mangthui neh pumphoenah te ka paan ni.
2 I have knowledge of a man in Christ, fourteen years back (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only), who was taken up to the third heaven.
Hnuk kum hlaili ah Khrih dongkah hlang pakhat ka ming. A pum nen nim te ka ming ngawn pawh. A pum a tal khaw ka ming pawh. Vaan a pathum la anih a pom te Pathen loh a ming.
3 And I have knowledge of such a man (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only),
Tekah hlang te ka ming ngawn daea pum nen nim, pum tal lam nim te ka ming pawh.
4 How he was taken up into Paradise, and words came to his ears which may not be said, and which man is not able to say.
Tedae paradai la a pom te Pathen loh a ming. Te vaengah ol toeklek na pawt tea yaak uh tih hlang pakhat khaw ol thui ham pae pawh.
5 On account of such a one I will have glory: for myself I will take no glory, but only in my feeble body.
Te kah a yueng lam ni ka pomsang eh. Tedae kamah ham he ka vawtthoeknah nen pawt atah ka pomsang mahpawh.
6 For if I had a desire to take credit to myself, it would not be foolish, for I would be saying what is true: but I will not, for fear that I might seem to any man more than he sees me to be, or has word from me that I am.
Pomsang ham ka ngaih cakhaw hlang ang la ka om pawt vetih oltak ni ka thui eh. Tedae kan hlun pueng. Kai he m'hmuh tih kai kawng te cungvang khaw a yaak vaengah pumphoenah dongkah a puehkan la pakhat long khaw kai he voelh ng'oep boel saeh.
7 And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain.
Te daengah ni kamah ka pomsang pawt tangloeng eh. Kai phop hamla Satan kah puencawn loh ka saa te tlaeh neha toeh. Te nen te ka pomsang uh mahpawt nim?
8 And about this thing I made request to the Lord three times that it might be taken away from me.
Hekah he kai lamkah khoe sak ham Boeipa te voeithum ka bih.
9 And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.
Tedae kamah taengah, “Kai kah lungvatnah tah nang ham rhoeh. Thaomnah tah vawtthoeknah dongah nia soep,” a ti. Te dongah ka vawtthoeknah dongah hlae hlae ka pomsang lat. Te daengah ni Khrih kah thaomnah loh kai n'rhaeh thil eh.
10 So I take pleasure in being feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong.
Te dongah Khrih yueng la vawtthoeknah nen khaw, olboepnah nen khaw, kueknah nen khaw, hnaemtaeknah citcai nen khaw ka lungtlun uh coeng. Ka tattloel vaengah yoeikoek la ka om van.
11 I have been forced by you to become foolish, though it was right for my praise to have come from you: for in no way was I less than the chief of the Apostles, though I am nothing.
Hlang ang la ka om khaw nangmih long ni kai nan tanolh uh. Kai tah nangmih kah a oep ham khaw ka kuek pai. A honghi la ka om mai cakhaw caeltueih rhoek kah buhuenga pom te ka phavawt moenih.
12 Truly the signs of an Apostle were done among you in quiet strength, with wonders and acts of power.
Caeltueih kah miknoek tah uehnah cungkuem neh miknoek la, khobae rhambae la, thaomnah la nangmih taengah thoeng coeng.
13 For what is there in which you were made less than the other churches, but in the one thing that I was not a trouble to you? Let me have forgiveness for this wrong.
Hlangboel tloe rhoek lakah aka khulae te balae aka om. Te pawt akhaw kai kamah loh nangmih kan thinrhih sak mai pawt nim? Hekah boethae dongah khaw kai ng'rhen uh mai.
14 This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children.
Nangmih taengah a pathum ka pawk ham sikim la ka om coeng he. Tedae nangmih kah koe pawt tih namamih te kan toem dongah ka thinrhih mahpawh. Ca rhoek loh manu napa ham a tung paha kuek moenih. Tedae manu napa long ni ca rhoek ham a tung pah.
15 And I will gladly give all I have for your souls. If I have the more love for you, am I to be loved the less?
Kai loh hlae hlae ka vak cakhaw nangmih kah hinglu ham ni ka khok eh. Nangmih tea kum ngai kan lungnah coeng atah kamah ka lungnah he sii mai saeh.
16 But let it be so, that I was not a trouble to you myself; but (someone may say) being false, I took you with deceit.
Ana om dae saeh, kai loh nangmih kan nan moenih. Tuengkhuepnah neh hoeih aka om long ni nangmih te kan loh.
17 Did I make a profit out of you by any of those whom I sent to you?
Amih khuikah pakhat khaw nangmih taengla kan tueih moenih. Anih rhangneh nangmih kan omtoem nim?
18 I gave orders to Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus make any profit out of you? were we not guided by the same Spirit, in the same ways?
Titu te ka hloep tih manuca neh kan tueih. Titu loh nangmih te n'omtoem pawt maco? Mueihla ah amah la ka pongpa uh moenih a? Kholaeh khaw amah ah a thikat moenih a?
19 It may seem to you that all this time we have been attempting to put ourselves in the right; but we are saying these things before God in Christ. For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit.
Nangmih taengah ka huul uh tila na poek uh dingrhae coeng. Pathen hmaiah Khrih rhangnen ni ka thui uh. Tedae thintlo boeih tah nangmih kah hlinsainah ham ni.
20 For I have a fear that, when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority;
Khoem ka pawk vaengah ka ngaih bangla nangmih kam hmu pawt ve ti ni ka rhih. Kai khaw nangmih loh nan ngaih uh pawt bangla m'hmu uh mai, tohhaemnah, thatlainah, thinsanah neh koevoeinah, olthaekaling, thuithetnah, hoemdawknah loh soekloeknah la khoem om ve.
21 And that when I come again, my God may put me to shame among you, and I may have grief for those who have done wrong before and have had no regret for their unclean ways, and for the evil desires of the flesh to which they have given way.
Koep ka pawk vaengah ka Pathen loh nangmih hmaiah kai n'tlarhoel sak lah ve. Aka tholh rhoek te muep ka nguek thil dae yut uh pawh. Te dongah rhongingnah, Cukhalnah, omthenbawnnah te a saii uh.
