2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage 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 yea, I beseech you, that I may not when present shew courage with the confidence wherewith I count to be bold against some, which count 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 according to the flesh
Khawmdek üng mi awmki, acunsepi khawmdeka thum üng am mi ngtu naw.
4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting 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 is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity 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 being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be fulfilled.
Ngthu nami ngaihnak a kümkawi käna, ngthu ä ngaihnak naküt kami mkhuimkha khaia kami ngcüngcei pängki.
7 Ye look at the things that are before your face. If any man trusteth in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ’s, so also are we.
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 glory somewhat abundantly concerning our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down), I shall not be put to shame:
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 my letters.
Ca ka yuk law am ka ning jah mkyühkia am kya.
10 For, His letters, they say, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.
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 a one reckon this, that, what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such [are we] 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 are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain of them that commend themselves: but they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
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 glory beyond [our] measure, but according to the measure of the province which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even unto 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 overmuch, as though we reached not unto you: for we came even as far as unto you in 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 glorying beyond [our] measure, [that is], in other men’s labours; but having hope that, as your faith groweth, we shall be magnified in you according to our province unto [further] abundance,
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 so as to preach the gospel even unto the parts beyond you, [and] not to glory in another’s province in regard of things 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 glorieth, 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 commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
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.
