< 2 Corinthians 7 >
1 With these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that pollutes either body or spirit, and, in deepest respect for God, aim at perfect holiness.
Ka it te awng, hi kamciam te nei ka hi uhkom in, cilesa le thaa a nin theampo pan in eima le eima i ki thiansua tu a, Pathian zatakna taw thianthona cialcingsak tawng.
2 Make room for us in your hearts. In no instance have we ever wronged, or harmed, or taken advantage of, anyone.
Hong sang tavun; kote in kuama tung ah khial ngawl khu hi, kuama zong siatsua ngawl khu hi, kuama zong theam ngawl khu hi.
3 I am not saying this to condemn you. Indeed, I have already said that you are in our heart, to live and die together.
Note mawsiat tu in ka pau hi ngawl hi: banghangziam cile ka thinsung uh sia note taw thi khawm tule nungta khawm tu, ci in kong son zo hi.
4 I have the utmost confidence in you; I am always boasting about you. I am full of encouragement and, in spite of all our troubles, my heart is overflowing with happiness.
Note tung ah kong pau ciang in ka hangsan hi, note hang in nasiatak in ka ki suangtak hi: henepna taw ka kidim hi, ka haksatna theampo sung ah a tuan in ka lungdam hi.
5 Ever since we reached Macedonia, we have had no rest in body or mind; on every side there have been troubles – conflicts without, anxieties within.
Banghangziam cile Macedonia ka thet uh ciang in, ka pumpi uh tawlngak hun nei ngawl hi, mun theampo pan in hong nawngkaisak hi; a puasang ah kihauna om a, a sungsang ah launa te om hi.
6 But God, who encourages the downcast, has encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.
Ahihang a nuaisang ah a ki khia te heneampa Pathian in, Titus hong thet na tungtawn in hong heneam hi;
7 And it is not only by his arrival that we are encouraged, but also by the encouragement which he received from you; for he tells us of your strong affection, your penitence, and your zeal on my behalf – so that I am happier still.
Taciang Titus hong thet na tungtawn bek hi ngawl in, ama sia note kung pan henepna a nga na hang in zong henepna ka nga uh hi, ama in nong phaw na uh thu, na kaa na tau na uh thu le deisakna thu te hong son ciang in, ka lungdam seseam hi.
8 For, though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Even if I were inclined to regret it – for I see that my letter did cause you sorrow though only for a time –
Banghangziam cile kong laithak taw note kong khuangaisak a, kisik phot hi kaleng, ka kisik bua kik hi: banghangziam cile tua lai in note hong khuangaisak napi, tawmvei sung bek hi, ci ka he hi.
9 I am glad now; not because of the sorrow it caused you, but because your sorrow brought you to repentance. For it was God’s will that you should feel sorrow, in order that you should not suffer loss in any way at our hands.
Tu in ka lungdam hi, note kong khuangaisak hang hi ngawl in, note i khuangaina pan ki sikkikna na nei uh hang hi zaw hi: banghangziam cile kote hang in bangma supna na nei ngawl natu uh in Pathian mi hi na bang in khuangaisak te na hi uh hi.
10 For, when sorrow is in accordance with God’s will, it results in a repentance leading to salvation, and which will never be regretted. The sure result of the sorrow that the world knows is death.
Banghangziam cile Pathian mi hi na bang in hena pan ngupna atu maw kisikikna suaksak a, tua thu ki sikkik natu om ngawl hi: ahihang leitung khuangaina in thina piangsak hi.
11 For see what results that other sorrow – sorrow in accordance with God’s will – has had in your case. What earnestness it produced! What explanations! What strong feeling! What alarm! What longing! What eagerness! What readiness to punish! You have proved yourselves altogether free from guilt in that matter.
Banghangziam cile hi Pathian mi hi na bang in na khuangaina uh in note sung ah kidopna, ki thianthosakna, thalawpna, thukkikna te piangsak hi, ci sia en vun! Na theampo sung ah noma le noma hi thu taw kisai in tetti na pang zo uh hi.
12 So, then, even though I did write to you, it was not for the sake of the wrongdoer, or of the man who was wronged, but to make you conscious, in the sight of God, of your own earnest care for us. And it is this that has encouraged us.
Tua ahikom note kung ah lai hong at ka hihang, a man ngawl a vawt te hang hi ngawl hi, taciang a man ngawl in a thuak te hang zong hi ngawl hi, ahihang Pathian mai ah note kong thinbot na uh note tung ah a kilang thei natu hi zaw hi.
13 In addition to the encouragement that this gave us, we were made far happier still by the happiness of Titus for his heart has been cheered by you all.
Tua ahikom henepna sung ah kote zong henep na ka nga uh hi: taciang Titus lungdamna hang in a tuan in ka lung uh dam seseam hi, banghangziam cile Titus i thaa sia note tungtawn in thathak dim kik hi.
14 Although I have been boasting a little to him about you, you did not put me to shame; but, just as every thing we had said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus about you has also proved to be the truth.
Banghangziam cile Titus kung ah note i thu ki suangtak tu nei ka hile, kamai a zum bua hi; note tung ah kong son uh theampo sia thuman a hihi, Titus mai ah ka ki suantakna zong thuman a hihi, ci kilang hi.
15 And his affection for you is all the greater, as he remembers the deference that you all showed him, and recalls how you received him with anxious care.
Note in Titus sia lau le liing in na sang uh a, na vekpi uh in a thu na zui uh a phawkik ciang in, ama sungsang pan note hong itna dimlet seseam hi.
16 I am glad that I can feel perfect confidence in you.
Na theampo ah note muan ngamna ka nei hu in ka lungdam hi.
