< 2 Corinthians 12 >
1 It is necessary to boast, though it is not profitable. But I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Kên song ngêt rang ani, ite asena aom loi rang khomin. Aniatachu atûn Pumapa'n inlârnangei mi min mu le chongphuong rang mi pêk ngei hah misîr ki tih.
2 I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I do not know, or whether out of the body, I do not know; God knows), such a one was caught up into the third heaven.
Khristien mi inkhat invân insângtaka khin juong lâkin aom ti ki riet ama hah kum sômleiminli ani zoia (mahi ataka mini, inlârna a mu mini riet mu-ung Pathien vaiin a riet).
3 I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I do not know; God knows),
Ki ti nôk, ma miriem hah Paradis taka rangin juong lâkin aom ti ki riet (mahi khom atak mini, inlârnân a mu mini riet mu-ung — Pathien vaiin a riet), male ama han chong a misîr thei loi, le munisi mûrngeia misîr ranga phal loi neinunngei a hong rieta.
4 how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a human to utter.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
Masikin hi mi hih song ki tih — aniatachu ko dok tie ânlang neinunngei tiloiin chu keimananâkin chu insong no ning.
6 For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no one may think more of me than that which he sees in me, or hears from me.
Insong nuom khom ronga, amo chu ni no ning, chongdiktak ki misîr rang sikin. Aniatachu insong no ning, tukhomin min mu angin le keima renga chong an riet lam nêkin min mindon minsâng loina rangin.
7 And because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, therefore, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to pound away at me, to keep me from exalting myself.
Kamâmom neinunngei tamtak ku mu ngei sikin inpâknân ki sip loina rangin taksatieng damloina natak pêkin ko om ani, maha kên pâk loina ranga Soitan thangtheipu anga sinthoa ni jêm ngâi ani.
8 Concerning this thing, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
Ma natna hah mi khâi pai pe rangin voithum Pumapa ke ngênna.
9 He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
Aniatachu ama'n, “Ko moroina hi kêng na nâng ani, na râtloi zorân kêng ki sinthotheina akip ngâi,” tiin mi thuon ani. Hanchu, ku chunga Khrista sinthotheina mi rungna hi rietna rangin râisântakin ka râtloinangei hih song ki tih zoi.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
Khrista jârin chu râtloinangei, êronangei, intaknangei, nuomlonangei le dûktongnangei khom ku mulung achuk. Ka râtloi zorân kêng, ka rât ngâi sikin.
11 I have become foolish. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
Amo angin ko oma — aniatachu nangnin mo rangin mi nin tho pe sikin. Nangni kêng mi nin pomna minlang rang nin ni. Ite ni no khom ronga, i-ih lampuia khom alieka nin, “tîrtonngei” nêkin chu chin uol no ning.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
Tîrton ki ni minthârnân sininkhêlngei le neinun kamâmomngei tamtak nin lâia dierna tatak dônin ki sin ani zoi.
13 For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the churches, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong.
Koiindang adangngei nêka saloi uola enin inmo nin om, sumtienga sanna nangni ki minjêl loina hah ani nônchu? Rangâihoitakin ki dikzoiloina hah ni ngâidam roi!
14 Look, for the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not what is yours, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Atûna zora hih nin kôm juonga nangni juongpan rang kên thok voithumna ani zoi, male ite nangni sîng no ning. Ka nâng chu nangni hah nin ni, nin sum nimak. Mangei murdi suole, nâingeiin an nulepangei sem rang an dôn rang nimaka, nulepangeiin kêng an nâingei sem rang an dôn rang ani.
15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
Nangni sanna rangin ko dôn murdi râisântakin thâm let ka ta, male nangni sanna rangin keima khom inpêk let sa ki tih. Nangni ku lungkham sabak sika han mi nin lungkham bâkloi rang mini?
16 But be it so, I did not myself burden you. But, being crafty, I caught you with deception.
Hanchu, puokrik nangni ka chang pe loi hah chu nin jôtinruol atih. Hannirese tumakhatin keima hih milaka sip, male milakngei leh nangni a min ôk zoi ani la tîng an tih.
17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of them whom I have sent to you?
Inmo? Nin kôma thangtheipungei ku juongtîr ngei mangin nin chunga inlâpna ko rok rang?
18 I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Did not we walk in the same spirit? Did not we walk in the same steps?
Titus hah juong rangin ke ngênna, male iempu dang hah ama leh ku juongtîr ani. Titus'n nin chunga inlâpna a rok nin ti thei rang mo? Ama le keima hih bôknangei inmunin lampui inkhata singinsa'n sintho ngâi mak me mo?
19 Have you been thinking all this time that we have been defending ourselves before you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ; and all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
Nin kôm kin dikna thurchi kin misîr tit angin nin mindon thei. Nimak! Khrista'n kin chong ranga mi nuom anghan Pathien makunga kin ti ani, male ruol moroitak ngei, neinuntin kin tho ngei murdi hih, nangni sanna rang kêng ani.
20 For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you do not desire; that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, riots;
Ku juong tika ku nuom lamin nangni mu loiin ti le nangni khom nin nuom lamin mi nin mu nônchu ti hih, ki chi ani. Inkhalnangei le narsanangei, mulunglumngei le ranghuolna rokngei, êronangei le mûrtamnangei, inpâknangei le bâiinkhamnangei ku juong mu rang mini ti hih, ki chi sa ani.
21 that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness and sexual immorality and lustfulness which they committed.
Ku juong nôk tika ka Pathien'n nin mitmua mâimôkin mi dar ni ti, le zora vunsaia mi tamtak sietna an sina an nunchan saloi neinunngei, an ngâituina le hurna sietnangei renga insîr loipu ngei hah ka chappui rang mini ti hih, ki chi sa ani.
