< 2 Corinthians 12 >
1 To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the LORD.
Nga khuupook ah laseeka bah uh, ngah khuupook roh ete anglang. Enoothong ngah ih mot amang nyia Teesu ih tiitwu halang tiit ah baat ang.
2 I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago—whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God has known—such a one being snatched up to the third heaven;
Asih paangbaji ngani rangmong echoong thoon ni kristaan mina wasiit siitwanta warah ngah ih jat ehang (Enoothong erah ngah ih tajatkang amiidi tam ang kotaaja adoleh mot amang sok kotaaja—Rangte ih luulu ba jat ah.)
3 and I have known such a man—whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God has known—
Ngah we dopjeng lang, arah mih ah Wojum ni siitwanta (Erah uh, amiimi tam ang kotaaja tam aleh mot amang angko taaja—Rangte ih luulu ba jat ah), eno erah di heh ih jengkhaap lam ih lami dongbaat theng nyia mina tuikhoop ni lami jeng theng japchaatta.
4 that he was snatched up to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.
5 Of such a one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my weaknesses,
Erah raangtaan ih nga teewah suh takhuupook kang —enoothong arah mina asuh khuupook lang, nga teewah larook lata asuh ba khuupook lang.
6 for if I may wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I will say truth; but I refrain, lest in regard to me anyone may think anything above what he sees me, or hears anything of me;
Ngah khuupook e ang bah uh, engak tah e kang, mamah liidi ngah ih ami tiit ah lekbaat angdoh ah. Enoothong ngah takhuupook kang, tiimnge liidi sen ih ngah jiin nawa tiimjih tup tan nyia chaat tan ah, erah o suh ang abah uh nga tiit ah ehan ih rangbaat thuk suh ngah tanookkang.
7 and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted too much, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, that he might batter me, that I might not be exalted too much.
Enoothong epaatjaajih jirep ah japtup thoidoh naktoom khuupook ah li ano, nga hansi ni sattitih ih chamthuk tahang, erah langla nga siiwi chamnaang thuk suh nyia thungjoong thuk suh Soitaan kaamwah ih satthuk ah likhiik ih ang thukta eno takhuupook thuk tahang.
8 I called on the LORD three times concerning this thing, that it might depart from me,
Erah khoisat ah deesiit raangtaan ih Teesu suh nga rangsoom ni jaajom baattang.
9 and He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness”; most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:
Enoothong heh ih ngaakbaat tahang: “An raangtaan ih nga minchan ah laaleh ang ah, tiimnge liidi larook lata ang udi nga chaanphaan ah rakla.” Erah thoidi, nga larook lata ang angdi, nga pangte Kristo chaanphaan asuh tenroon anglang.
10 for this reason I am well pleased in weaknesses, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses—for Christ; for whenever I may be weak, then I am powerful;
Kristo thoilam di, larook lata, thaangju kaanse, echam enaang, siiwii nyia echeh echaan loong ah roongje roh e hala. Tiimnge liidi ngah larook lata ang angdi, tathat eh hoon lang.
11 I have become a fool—boasting; you compelled me; for I ought to have been commended by you, for I was behind the very chiefest apostles in nothing—even if I am nothing.
Ngah thungko likhiik ih reeraang lang—enoothong erah sen ih reeraang thuk hali. Nga tiit roong seebaatte ah sen angjih angtan. Tiimnge liidi lidoh tiim lajo ang kangbah uh, sen loong “kaamwah” wahoh loong nang ih ngah ehin tah angkang.
12 The signs, indeed, of the apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds,
Sen jaachi ni paatjaajih nyia epaattek etheng jirep ah enaan lam ih re kangno ngah kaamwah ngeh ih noisok halan.
13 for what is there in which you were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this injustice!
Chaas wahote nang ih ethih mamah miili he, ngun akom di ba sen suh talaalom tahang? Erah raangtaan ih lalangka mok reetang ah biin anaan hoon weehe.
14 Behold, a third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I do not seek yours, but you, for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children,
Arah ih jaajom ang ah ngah sen reeni dongkhoom suh ban khookham hang—enoothong sen taangnawa tiim uh tasuh rumra. Ngah ih ngun tajam kang, sen loong ba jam rumhala. Tiimnge liidi, hesuh hehsah loong ih henuh hewah loong suh tajam koka, henuh hewah ih ba jamkoh ah
15 and I will most gladly spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, loving you more abundantly, I am loved less.
Sen loong chosok raangtaan ih ngaapuh ngaasak dowa ih nga jiinni tiim jeela, erah loong kot suh nga tenroon lang. Nga ih ehan eh nook rum kohaano sen ih tatam nookri?
16 And be it [so], I did not burden you, but being crafty, I took you with guile;
Erah suh nook anbah, nga raangtaan ih sen sootboot theng tah angta. Enoothong mararah ih mokli an, ngah maakthih maklang nyia sen mokwaan suh tiit hu baatrum hala ngeh ah.
17 anyone of those whom I have sent to you—did I take advantage of you by him?
Mamah ma ang ah? Ngah ih kongphaak kotte daapkaat tahang loong ah jun ih sen loong ah tam put thuk rum taha?
18 I begged Titus, and sent with [him] the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not walk in the same Spirit? Did we not [walk] in the same steps?
Sen reeni kaat thuk suh Taitaas lasih jotang, eno heh damdi wahoh hanpiite nep wakra thuk tahang. Sen ih Taitaas ih nep eput eh tahe tam liihan? Sek wanyiinyi jisiit mootkaat raang ih phoosiitsiit tanih reeti tih?
19 Again, [do] you think that we are making defense to you? We speak before God in Christ; and all things, beloved, [are] for your up-building,
Sen loong ih mokthun an madoh dowa ih seng ih seng tiit asuh ese ih baat hi ngeh ah. Emah tah angka! Joon awaan loong Rangte ngathong ni, tiim re ih bah uh sen chosok suh nyia Kristo ih jeng thuk he ah likhiik ih ba jengli.
20 for I fear lest, having come, I may not find you such as I wish, and I may be found by you such as you do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, slanders, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,
Ngah erah raacho lang, sen reenah raahang adoh nga thung jun doh lah ang, adoleh sen thung jun doh uh lah ang ma mok japtup jang oh ngeh ah. Ngah choolang ah langla, rookmui jengmui adoleh khaada mui, tenkhat nyia lup aleek, kaanju nyia mokwaan mui, joobaat waanbaat mui, miksuh siikhaam mui, adoleh lalang lajang khuupook arah ma japtup jang oh ngeh ah.
21 lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may mourn many of those having sinned before, and having not changed their mind concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and licentiousness, that they practiced.
Nga erah raacho lang, alih adoh dong raahang adoh sen ngathong nah Rangte ih kaanju ete ang halang, eno ehakdi data nyia ehuh eleek, roomjup roomtong loong rangdah lah sekthun loong ah raangtaan ih ngah ehu ete—erah langla neng loong ramka nyia roomjup roomtong thoidoh ang ah.
