2 Corinthians 6
1 As workers together with God we also plead with you not to make your acceptance of God's grace worthless.
Anih hoi nawnto toksah kami ah a oh o baktih toengah, Sithaw tahmenhaih azom pui ah na talawk o han ai ah kang pacae o.
2 Just as God said, “At the right time I heard you, and on the day of salvation I rescued you.” Believe me: now is the right time! Now is the day of salvation!
(Talawk thaikoi atue ah lok kang tahngaih pae, pahlonghaih niah kang bomh, tiah Anih mah thuih: khenah, vaihi loe talawkhaih atue ah oh, khenah, vaihi loe pahlonghaih niah oh.)
3 We don't put anything in anyone's way that would trip them up, making sure the work we do won't be criticized.
Ka sak o ih tok to kasae thuih han ai ah, raihaih omsak koi hmuen tidoeh ka sah o ai:
4 Instead we try to demonstrate we are good servants of God in every way we can. With a great deal of patience we put up with all kinds of trouble, hardship, and distress.
Sithaw toksah kami ah ka oh o baktih toengah hmuen boih ah pauephaih, patangkhanghaih, amtanghaih, poek amrohaih,
5 We have been beaten up, thrown into prison, and attacked by mobs. We have been worked to the bone, suffering sleepless nights and hunger.
bohhaih, thongkrakhaih, lokpunghaih, karai toksakhaih, iip thai ai ah ohhaih, buhcaa ai ah ohhaihnawk to ka tong o;
6 We demonstrate who we are by living blameless lives in the knowledge of God, with a great deal of patience, being kind and filled with the Holy Spirit, showing sincere love.
toe poekciimhaih, panoekthaihaih, palungsawkhaih, tahmenhaih, Kacai Muithla zaehhoihhaih, loktang amlunghaih,
7 We speak truthfully, living in the power of God. Our weapons consist of what is true and right; we attack with our right hand and we defend with our left.
loktang lok taphonghaih, Sithaw thacakhaih hoiah tok ka sak o moe, banqoi bantang toenghaih hmuen to kahni baktiah kang khuk o,
8 We continue whether we are honored or dishonored, whether we are cursed or praised. People call us frauds but we tell the truth.
pakoehhaih lok, patoekhaih lok, kasae thuihaih lok hoi kahoih lok thuihaihnawk ka thaih o naah, kaicae loe aling thaih kaminawk baktiah ka oh o, toe loktang lok ni ka thuih o;
9 We are disregarded, even though we are well-known; given up for dead, but we're still alive; lashed, but not killed.
minawk mah panoek ai ih kami baktiah ka oh o, toe ahmin kam thang o; kadueh kami baktiah ka oh o, toe khenah, ka hing o; ang thuitaek o, toe ka dueh o ai;
10 Seen as miserable, we are always rejoicing; as poor, but we make many rich; as destitute, but we own everything!
palungsae baktiah ka oh o, toe kang hoe o thaih poe; amtang kami baktiah ka oh o, toe paroeai kaminawk to kang raeng o sak; tidoeh tawn ai kami ah ka oh o, toe hmuen boih ka tawnh o.
11 I've been speaking bluntly, my Corinthian friends, loving you with a big heart!
Aw Korin kaminawk, nangcae khaeah kamnoek ah lok kang thuih o boeh, nangcae han poekhaih kawk palung khongkha to kang paongh pae o.
12 We haven't kept our love from you, but you have kept your love from us.
Nangcae han thok ka khaa o ai, toe nangcae mah ni poekhaih palung thok nang khah o thuih.
13 Please respond in the same way, as if you were my children, and be big-hearted!
Nangcae nuiah ka tawnh o ih poekhaih baktih toengah (ka caanawk baktiah ni lok kang thuih o, ) nangcae doeh poekhaih kawk palung to tawn o toeng ah.
14 Don't join together with people who don't believe—for what connection does goodness have with wickedness? What do light and darkness have in common?
Katang ai kaminawk hoi anghmong ai hmuen to nawnto phaw o hmah; katoeng kami hoi katoeng ai kami nawnto om thai tih maw? Aanghaih hoi vinghaih nawnto oh thai maw?
15 How could Christ and the Devil ever agree? How could a believer and an unbeliever share together?
Kri hoi Belial angdaeh thai tih maw? Katang kami hoi katang ai kami doeh kawbangmaw nawnto om thai tih?
16 What compromise could the Temple of God make with idols? For we are a temple of the living God, just as God said: “I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.”
Krang bokhaih im hoi Sithaw ih tempul to anghmong maw? Nangcae loe kahing Sithaw ih tempul ah ni na oh o. Sithaw mah, Nihcae thungah Ka oh moe, nihcae salakah kam kaeh han, nihcae ih Sithaw ah Ka oh han, nihcae loe Kai ih kami ah om to tih, tiah thuih.
17 “So leave them, and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don't touch anything that is unclean, and I will accept you.”
To pongah nihcae thung hoi tacawt ah loe, kamhoe ah om ah, tiah Angraeng mah thuih. Kaciim ai hmuen to sui o hmah, to tih nahaeloe nangcae to Kang talawk han.
18 “I will be like a Father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”
Nangcae ih Ampa ah Ka oh han, nangcae loe Ka capa hoi canu ah na om o tih, tiah lensawk Angraeng mah thuih.
