2 Corinthians 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the will of God, and from Timothy, our brother. It is sent to the church of God in Corinth, together with all of God's people throughout Achaia.
Rangte thung jun ih Jisu Kristo kaamwah Pool nyia seng phono Timothi taangnawa- Arah langla Korin dowa Rangte chaaste nyia Akaia hadaang dowa Rangte mina loong raangtaan:
2 May you have grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Seng loong Wah Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo minchan sen damdoh toom tongha adoleh semroongroong ih toomtong an.
3 Praise be to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He is the compassionate Father and the God of all comfort.
Seng Wah Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo Wah suh lakookmi li ih, seng minchante Wah, heh juuba jirep adi seng moot chosokte Rangte!
4 He comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those who are also in trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
Seng chamnaang di heh ih chosok hali, erah thoidi seng chamnaang li likhiik o mina chamnaangla erah jen chosok hi, erah langla Rangte taangnawa chohi ah likhiik ih chosok hi.
5 The more we share in Christ's sufferings, the more we receive the abundant comfort of Christ.
Seng loong ah Kristo mendi rapne ih chamnaangli ah likhiik ih, Rangte taangnawa mootchoh ah uh emamah ih chohi.
6 If we are in distress, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are being comforted, it is for your comfort, which results in you patiently bearing the same sufferings that we suffer.
Seng loong chamnaang ebah, erah sen khopi raangtaan nyia sen moot chosok suh; seng loong ah chosok he bah, sen uh chosok ih han eno seng ih naanhi ajih sen ih uh cham anaang ah ejen naan ih an.
7 We have great confidence in you, knowing that as you share in our sufferings you also share in our comfort.
Erah raangtaan ih sen suh lasoot lasaam ih laalomli; seng ih jat ehi sen loong ah seng damdi roong chamnaang halan, erah likhiik sen ih uh seng chosok hali ah likhiik eroong choh ehan.
8 Brothers and sisters, we won't keep you in the dark about the trouble we had in Asia. We were so overwhelmed that we were afraid we wouldn't have the strength to continue—so much so we doubted we would live through it.
Joonte loong, Esia hani chamchoti ah sen loong asuh jatthuk suh liihi. Seng erah than ih siiwii chamnaangti thingtong esuh ju takah jook laalomti.
9 In fact it was like a death sentence inside us. This was to stop us relying on ourselves and to trust in God who raises the dead.
Seng loong ah tek haat suh mat jen paat ih rumta ngeh ih samthunti. Enoothong erah angta ah langla seng teenuh teewah suh latuumaang thang ih Rangte suh tuumaang theng o ih etek nawa ngaakthing thukla asuh ah.
10 He saved us from a terrible death, and he will do so again. We have total confidence in God that he will continue to save us.
Etek ejih choophaanphaan angta dowa heh ih puipang hali, heh ih ju puipang hali; eno sen rangsoom ni chosok hali jun ih seng we puipang ehe,
11 You help us by praying for us. In this way many will thank God for us because of the blessing that God will give us in response to the prayers of many.
sen rangsoom nawa ih seng chosok tahe ah likhiik ah. Erah thoidi mina hantek ih seng suh rangsoom kohali ah echaat eh ah, eno Rangte ih romseetam kot ih he; eno seng loong raangtaan ih mina hantek tui nah heh suh lakookmi liirum ah.
12 We take pride in the fact—and our conscience confirms it—that we have acted properly towards people, and especially to you. We have followed God's principles of holiness and sincerity, not according to worldly wisdom but through the grace of God.
Seng loong khuupookli ah langla, arah mongrep adi sen damdi joonte sano angli roidong ah phanjangjang, eno erah seklilih nyia ladem laju angli ah Rangte lakkot, erah jun ih pan hali adoleh erah mina mongtham nawa tah angka Rangte minchan nyia chaan aphaan nawa.
13 For we are not writing anything complicated that you can't read and understand. I hope you'll understand in the end,
Seng ih raangkohi le ah an sen ih mi wet ehan nyia jat ehan. Enoothong amadi sen ih tanang jatwe ri,
14 even if you only understand part of it now, so that when the Lord comes you will be proud of us, just as we are of you.
liwang nah naririh ih jat he ngeh ih tuumaangli, tiimnge liidi sen suh khuupookli ah likhiik Teesu Jisu raaha doh sen uh seng raangtaan ih khuupook etheng toom ang ah.
15 Because I was so sure of your confidence in me I planned to come and visit you first. That way you could have benefited twice,
Erah loong asuh ngah rapne ih tuumaang angno sen reeni jaakhoh dongkhoom suh taatchung tang, sen loong ah ih romseetam ah dopnyi toomchoh an suh ah.
16 as I would go on from you to Macedonia, and then return from Macedonia to you. Then I would have had you send me on my way to Judea.
Ngah Mesidonia nah kah angdoh sen reenah dongkhoom chungtang, eno Mesidonia nawa we ngaak wang hang adoh Judia nah toom diisiit kaat he suh ah.
17 Why did I change my original plan? Do you think I make my decisions lightly? Do you think that when I plan I'm like some worldly person who says Yes and No at the same time?
Erah chungtang ah doondaak chung tam etang? Adoleh erah hansi tenthun nawa ih tamchung tang, pootsiit doh “thangroh, thangroh” nyia “daanroh, daanroh” esuh ah.
18 Just as God can be trusted, when we give you our word it's not both Yes and No.
Rangte ami tiit jeng jengla likhiik, “thangroh thangroh” ih angno “daanroh daanroh” esuh ngah ih kah takham tang.
19 The truth of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, was announced to you by us—me, Silvanus, and Timothy—and it wasn't both Yes and No. In Christ the answer is absolutely Yes!
Rangte Sah, Jisu Kristo, marah Silas nyia Timothi sengjom ih baatti abah, “danroh” esuh nyia “thangroh” esuh tah angka. Erah tokkhodi Rangte raangtaan ih heh ih thangroh ete;
20 However, many promises God has made, in Christ the answer is always Yes. Through him we respond, saying Yes to the glory of God.
tiimnge liidi Rangte kakhamte asuh heh ih “Em” liite. Erah raangtaan ih Jisu Kristo jun ih “Amen” ah Rangte men raksiit suh liihi.
21 God has given both us and you the inner strength to stand firm in Christ. God has appointed us,
Rangte heh teeteewah seng nyia seng loong ah, eroom ih dongsiit tahe, Kristo damdoh seng roidong ah rongtangtang angsuh ah; Rangte heh teeteewah ih danje tahe,
22 placed his stamp of approval on us, and given us the guarantee of the Spirit to convince us.
Rangte heh teeteewah ih seng changte ngeh ih hemen jatthuk suh sin hoon hali, eno seng ten ni Esa Chiiala ah koheeno seng raangtaan ih ban thiinha asuh kamkam ih tuumaang thuk hali.
23 I call God as my witness that it was to avoid causing you pain that I chose not to come to Corinth.
Rangte suh nga ih nga haaki ngeh ih poonhang —heh ih nga tenthun ah ejat ih halang! Ngah Korin ni lakaat aju sen loong phocham an ngeh ih tara tahang.
24 This isn't because we want to dictate how you relate to God, but because we want to help you have a joyful experience—for it's by trusting God that you stand firm.
Sen suh hanpi jaatjaat etheng ngeh ih talaat baatke; seng ih jat ehi sen loong hanpi ah rongtangtang ngeh ah, seng damdi roong mokah hali abah sen tenroon raangtaan ih boh mokah hali.
