2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
Kei Pawluh nami ksunga mlung hnemnak am awm lü, athuknaka ka ve üng linglai khawiki naw, Khritawa hniphnawinak la dawnak am ning jah nghui na veng.
2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, with which I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
Pumsa lama keimi, kami ngdüithokia jah ngaiki hea veia ka linga kba, nami veia ka pha law üng ka linglai khaia ä nami na lingnak vaia ning jah nghui na veng.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
Khawmdek üng mi awmki, acunsepi khawmdeka thum üng am mi ngtu naw.
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; )
Keimia ngtuknaka likcim he cun khawmdek likcim hea am kya lü Pamhnama johita likcim he ni. Acun cun mlüh ngvawng he jah kpyehnak vaia kami summangki.
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Am cangkia ngcuhnak he la Pamhnam ksingkhyapnak sungkhamkia awhcahnak he cun jah kpyeh u lü, ami cungaihnak jah pinpawk u lü Khritawa ngthu kami jah läklam saki.
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Ngthu nami ngaihnak a kümkawi käna, ngthu ä ngaihnak naküt kami mkhuimkha khaia kami ngcüngcei pängki.
7 Do you look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.
Ipi akpung lam nami tengki. Nangmi üngka uyaw Khritawa ka kyakia a ngaihkyu üng, ngaikyu be kawm. Amimi Khritawa ka ami kyaa kba, Keimi pi Khritawa ka kami kya hngaki.
8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord has given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
Ka ana (nangmi ning jah kpyehnak vaia am kya lü nangmi ning jah pyanthamnak kdaw vaia, Bawipa naw ana pet cen) aktäa ka awhcahnak üng pi ka hmai am se khai.
9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
Ca ka yuk law am ka ning jah mkyühkia am kya.
10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
Uyaw naw, “Pawluha cayuk he yüh u lü kyanki he, amät mi hlawnga a awm üng a ktha am kyan lü a ngthu pyen pi amdang ni,” tiki.
11 Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
Acuna khyang he naw nami hlawnga am kami ve üng ca üng kami yuka kba, nami hlawnga kami ve üng bilawhnak am kami awmki ni ti hin ksing khai.
12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
Amimät la amimät mhlünmtaieikia khyang he am atänga kami ve vai am ngaih u nawng, mtängnak vai pi am kami ngaihki. Ihlawka angki he ni! Amimät naw amimät msuimcäpnak am amimäta ngthu mkhyahki he.
13 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God has distributed to us, a measure to reach even to you.
Keimi awhcahnak hin kami awhcah vaia kthaka am awhcah u nawng; Mhnam naw a jah tak peta khuta k’uma um lü nami ksunga kami bilawh pi ngpüiki ni.
14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not to you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
Acuna k’uma nami umkia kyase, Khritawa thangkdaw law püi u lü nami veia kami law üng acuna thea am bilo u nawng.
15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labors; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
Acunakyase, Pamhnam naw pawh vaia a jah tak peta thea khyang kcea khutbia kthaka am awhcah ve ung. Nami jumnak däm law se, nami ksunga khutbi akdäm bawk kami pawh law khaia kami ngak’uhki.
16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.
Acunüng thangkdaw cun nangmia khaw pi khye u lü kami sang khai. Khyang kce hea khawa bilawh pänga khutbi kami awhcahnak vai am ngaih ve ung.
17 But he that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
Cunsepi, “A awhcah vai ngaiki naw, Bawipa bilawhnak awhcah na se” tia cangcim naw pyenki.
18 For not he that commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
Amät mhlünmtaieiki naw ngaknak am hlawhei khawi, Bawipa naw a mhlünmtai naw ni ngaknak a hlawhei. Mimät naw mimät dawkia mi ngaiha phäha am kya.
