< 2 Corinthians 12 >

1 To be boasting, is needful, —it is not, indeed, profitable, yet will I 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, who, fourteen years ago, whether in the body, I know not, or out of the body, I know not, God, knoweth, such a one as this, caught away, as far as 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 as this, whether in the body or apart from 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 How that he was caught away into paradise, and heard unspeakable things, which it is not allowable for a man to utter:
5 On behalf of such a one as this, will I boast, but, on behalf of myself, will I not boast, save 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 Although in fact, if I should wish to boast, I shall not be foolish, for, the truth, would I speak; but I forbear, lest anyone, unto me, should reckon above what he beholdeth me [to be], or heareth from me, —even by the exceeding greatness of the revelations.
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 Wherefore, lest I should be unduly lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, that he might buffet me, —lest I should be unduly 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 this behalf, thrice, besought I, the Lord, that it might depart from me;
Erah khoisat ah deesiit raangtaan ih Teesu suh nga rangsoom ni jaajom baattang.
9 And at once he said unto me—Sufficient for thee, is my favour, for, my power, in weakness, is made complete. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may spread a tent over 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 Wherefore, I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, and straits, in behalf of Christ; for, as soon as I am weak, then, 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 foolish, —ye, compelled me: —I, in fact, ought, by you, to have been commended; for, not a whit, have I come behind the exceeding overmuch apostles, —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 an apostle, were wrought out among you, in all endurance, —[both] in signs, and wonders, and mighty works:
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 wherein ye were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, —save that, I myself, would not allow myself to be a burden unto 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 Lo! this third time, I am holding myself, in readiness, to come unto you, and I will not allow myself to be a burden; 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, most gladly, will spend, and be fully spent, for your souls: —If I, exceedingly, love you, am I, the less, 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 let it be!—I, myself, did not burden you, —Notwithstanding, being crafty, with guile, I caught you?
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 Was there, anyone of those whom I have sent unto you, through whom I have overreached 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 exhorted Titus, and sent with him the brother, —Did, Titus, overreach you? Was it not, in the same spirit, we walked? Was it not, 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 All this time, think ye, that, unto you, we are making a defence? Before God in Christ, we speak; —but all these things, beloved, for your upbuilding.
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, by any means, when I come, not such as I wish, should I find you, and, I, should be found by you, such as ye do not wish; —lest, by any means, [I should find] strife, jealousy, outbursts of wrath, factions, railings, whisperings, puffed up pretensions, confusions; —
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, when I again come, my God should humble me in regard to you, —and I should grieve over many who had before sinned, and not repented of the impurity, and fornication, and wantonness which they had 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.
