< 2 Corinthians 12 >
1 It is indeed not expedient for me to boast; 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 know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, —whether in the body, I know not, or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth, —such a one caught up even 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 know such a man, whether in the body, or without the body, I know not; God knoweth, —
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 caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5 Of such a one I will boast; but of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.
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 should desire to boast, I should not be a fool; for I should say the truth; but I forbear, lest any one should think of me above what he seeth me to be, or what he heareth from 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 I might not be too much lifted up by the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to buffet me, that I might not be too much lifted up.
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 In respect to this I besought the Lord thrice, 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 thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the strength of Christ may abide upon 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 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then am I strong.
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; it is ye that compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the very foremost apostles, though 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 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you with all endurance, by 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 ye were at disadvantage when compared with other churches, except that I myself was not a charge to you? Forgive me this wrong.
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, I am ready to come to you this third time, and I will not be a charge to you; for I seek not 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 very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more I love you, the less I am loved.
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 But be it so; I at least was not a charge to you; but yet, being crafty, I caught 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 Did I make gain of you by any of those whom I have sent to you?
Mamah ma ang ah? Ngah ih kongphaak kotte daapkaat tahang loong ah jun ih sen loong ah tam put thuk rum taha?
18 I urged Titus to go to you, and with him I sent the brother. Did Titus make a gain 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 Have ye been thinking this long time that we are defending ourselves to you? It is before God in Christ that we are speaking; but all things, beloved, for your edification.
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, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and lest I too shall be found by you such as ye would not; lest there be wranglings, envying, wraths, rivalries, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;
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 and lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many of those who have sinned already, and did not repent of the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, which they committed.
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.
