2 Corinthians 11
1 [But now, because my opponents are saying that Christ sent them to you as his representatives and that he did not send me], please be patient with me, too, [while I say a] few things [that may sound as if] [IRO] [I am praising myself, like] a foolish person [would do. You have been] ([putting up with/tolerating]) [those who teach what is false; ] now then, (put up with/tolerate) me [too].
Mingol tobanga kaumna a jong nei hetthem diu kakineme. Henge, nangho tah in nei hethem un.
2 I really do care about [what happens to] you, just as God cares about [what happens to you. Just like a father wants his daughter to be sexually pure when he presents her to the man she will marry] [MET], I [want you to belong] to Christ [alone and to no other]. I want to present you [to him] as people who remain faithful to him [only, and who have not believed the deceitful message of those who are teaching what is false].
Keima nangho dia katom ngaina hi Pathen tomngaina jaljeh ahi. Keiman nangho jipa khat, Christa mou theng hidinga kalhendoh nahiuve.
3 However, just like [Satan, when he] cunningly [appeared as a] snake, deceived Eve [and caused her to disobey the Lord God], I am concerned that [those teachers] will cause you to think wrongly so that you will no longer [be faithful to] Christ alone.
Hinlah Gulin lungthim doha pana Eve alheplhah tobang chun Christa lama lung thengsel le lungthim kehlou beh a napan nau chu suhboh in umkhante ti katijat peh nahiuve.
4 [I say that] because some people have come among you who are teaching [their own thoughts about] Jesus. They [are saying about him] things that are [entirely] different from what I taught you. [They are urging] you to receive a [powerful] spirit who [would come to live in you], but it is not the same [Spirit] that you received [from God when you believed in Christ]. They preach [what they call] a good message, and you accept [their message, even though it is not the same as the good message about Christ that you heard from me. And] you have gladly accepted them and their message!
Mi khat touvin, keiho hung seiphong Yeshua hilou achom dang khat thu joh ahung seiya, ahilouleh Lhagao jatchom, nakisan u tobang hilou, ahung seiphonga, ahilouleh natahsan sau sanga jatchom Kipana Thupha ahungsei jongleh akisei tapou namoh tahsan kigot uve.
5 I consider that [LIT] none of those [men, even though they think of themselves as being] [IRO] extra-special apostles, are in any way greater than I am.
Hinlah chutobang thuhil choi solchah achungnunga kiheho sanga noinung jon keima chang kakigel hih e.
6 [I admit that] I am not an eloquent speaker, but I do know [God’s message]. I have made that clear to you by everything [that I have done among you and by everything that I have taught you].
Keima hi thusei kijil them tah chu hi hih nange, hinla ipi kasei kakihet nai. Hiche hi tun hethem tauvin nate tin kagel'e, ajeh chu avel vel'a iphotchen u ahitai.
7 [I refused to accept money] from you as pay for teaching you God’s message about Christ. (It is ridiculous for you to think that what I did was wrong!/Was that wrong?) [RHQ] [I know that by teaching you without pay], I made myself seem [IRO] unimportant to you. [But I did it] to honor you.
Keima kaki neosah a chule nanghoa kona lemukit ding kinem louhel'a Pathen Kipana Thupha seiya naheng uva kahunga, nangho kajabolna hi bolkhel kahi hitam?
8 [Some people might say that it was as though] [IRO] I was robbing other congregations because I accepted money from them in order that I might work among you.
Keiman houbung danghoa kona athil tokhom'u chu kakhop khoma nangho henga manbeiya lhacha natoh kanei thei ding kati ahi.
9 Furthermore, when I was [there] with you and had no [money to buy the things that I needed], I did not cause any [of you] ([to have difficulties by my depending on you/by asking you for money/support]), because our [(inc)] fellow believers who came from [here in] Macedonia [province] brought enough [money for me to buy everything] that I needed. So I have not caused you any difficulty at all [by asking you for money], and I never will [ask you for money] [EUP].
Chule keima nangho to kaumkhoma chule kihinsona ding imacha kanei loupet in jong koima sum lamah pohgih kapohsah pon ahi. Ajeh chu Macedonia akona hung sopiho chun kangaichat jouse eihin pohpeh tauve. Hiti chun keiman nangho dingin pohgih kapohsah khapouvin chule kapohsah lou hel ding nahiuve.
10 [And] as [sure as you know that] everything that Christ says is true, [you can be sure that what] I say [to you now is true. Wherever I go] there in Achaia [province], [I do not let you believers pay me for doing God’s work among you]. And no one will be able to prevent me from boasting [about that].
Christa a thudih chu keiya aumjing akicheh laisea, hiche thudola kaki sonna hi Greece pumpia koiman eikham theilou ding ahi.
11 No one should wrongly [RHQ] think that it is because I do not love you that [I do not take pay from you]. God knows [that you truly/really are very dear to me].
Ipi dia em? Nangho kangailut loujeh u ham? Keiman kangailut nahiu Pathen in ahenai.
12 There are [some men there among you] who would like to be able to say boastfully that they [work among you] just as I do. So, in order to make it impossible [IDM] [for them to say that], I have [refused to accept pay from you], and I will continue doing that.
Hinlah keiman kanabol jing chu kabol jom ding ahi. Hiche hin amahon kisonpina ding phat kijen aholuva anatoh u chu keiho natoh tobang bep ahi atiu chu abei theina ding hiya ahi.
13 Those men are lying [when they say that they are] apostles. They work deceitfully. [Even though they say that they work for God, they are working only for themselves]. They try to make people think that Christ [sent them] as his apostles, [but they do not truly represent him].
Hiche miho hi solchah lhemho chu ahiuve. Amaho hi doha thuhtah'a natong ho Christa solchahho a kisei ahiuve.
14 I am not surprised [that they act like that], because Satan himself causes people to think [that he has come] as a shining messenger [from God].
Hinlah keiman kadatmopoi. Satan jeng jong chu avah tah vantil tobanga kisoh thei ahi.
15 So it should not surprise [you] if these men, who [really] serve [Satan, do good things in order] to make you think they [serve God]. Some day God will [punish them] according to what they deserve because of the [evil] things that they do.
Hitia chu asohte ho jong chu chonphatna sohtea kisem thei ahiuve. Achaina tengleh athil gilou boldoh hou jeh a gimbolna chang ding ahiuve.
16 I say again: I do not want any of you to think that my [boasting about myself] is like foolish [people] boast. But even if anyone [thinks that I am boasting about myself like a foolish person boasts, listen to] what I [have to say anyway, just like you listen to those false apostles]. They really [speak] foolishly! Listen to me while I also boast a little.
Kasei kit ahi, hitia thu kasei hi keima angolin neigel hih un. Hinla hitia chu neigelu ahi jongleh, keima angol tobanga kaumpet'in jong, mingol tobanga nagel nau pumin, kasei ngaiyuvin.
17 About the things that I am [going to tell you], boasting confidently [about myself, surely you know that they are not the kind of things] that the Lord [Jesus] would say. Instead, [I will speak] as a foolish [person would speak].
Hitobang kisonna hi Pakaiya kon ahipon, hinla mingol thuseiya kasei ahijoi.
18 Because many among you are boasting [about their own work], as unbelievers do, I will also boast [about myself and my work] [MTY, IRO].
Midang hon bon tahsa mihem hina a atohdoh hou akison piuva ahileh, ken jong kaki sonna seiyinge.
19 [I am sure that you, who think that you are so wise, will accept what I say] because you gladly [accept the] false teachers and the foolish things [that they say].
Nangho chingtah a kigel'a nahiu hilou ham, hinla nang hon angol ho chon chan nahethem nauve.
20 When people [treat] you as if they were your bosses, you gladly submit [to them. You think that it is all right when others] force you to provide for their needs. You think that it is all right [when people] take control over you, when they boast about themselves, [or when they insult you by] slapping you in the face.
Nangho hin koiham khat touvin sohchang bol'a nabol uva, nanei jouseu akilah uva, nanghoa phatchomna akimu uva, imajouse athu uva aheiyuva, chule namaiyu abeh gei uvin jong na hethem theiyuvin ahi.
21 I agree that I was not bold enough to treat you in such ways. [Ha! Do you think that] [IRO] I should feel ashamed [because I did not do that?] So now, talking like a person who does not have any sense, I will boldly tell you [some things about myself, just like those false apostles tell you things about themselves].
Chutobang bol dinga keiho thalhom val kahiu hi kajachat piuve tia kasei ahi! Hinla ipilam dol'a kisonna aneinau hijongleh–mingol banga kaseikit ahi–keijong chutobanga kisong thei kahi.
22 Do [they tell you] that they are Hebrews [and can speak the Hebrew language?] Well, I can say the same thing [about myself]. Do they [tell you that they] belong [to God’s people], the nation of Israel? Well, I can say the same thing [about myself]. [Do they tell you that] they are descendants of [our great] ancestor Abraham? Well, he is my ancestor, too.
Amaho Hebrew mi hiuvem? Keima jong chutima kahi! Ama ho Israel mi hiuvem? Keima jong hitima chu kahi! Amaho Abraham chilhah hiuvem? Keima jong hiti chu kahi!
23 [Do they tell you how much] work they have done for Christ? Now I am talking like a crazy person talks [EUP]. Well, I work for Christ much more [than they do. I have been] in prison many more times [than they have. Many times I] have been beaten {[people] have beaten me} very severely [because I believe in and obey Christ]. Many times I almost died [because of serving Christ].
Amaho Christa soh hiuvem? Mingol thusei bang bep kahi ding kakihet'e, hinla keiman kaha jen jocheh in ahi. Keiman kaha tohgim cheh in, songkul'a eikikhum matchet in, simjoulou khop in eikijep in, chule thina avelin kaki maito pin ahi.
24 On five occasions Jewish [religious leaders] beat me 39 times with a whip.
Munchom chom Juda-nam lamkai hon nga-veijen khaohol a jepna somthum le ko vei cheh einavo uvin ahi.
25 On three occasions I was beaten {[Roman] officials beat me} with wooden sticks. On one occasion [a large crowd of people] threw stones at me [to kill me]. On three occasions the ship [that I was traveling on] was wrecked [and sank. On one of those occasions] I was [floating] in the water a night and a day [before I was rescued].
Keima hi thihjol ah thumvei jen eina vouvin ahi. Khatvei songa eikisep in, thumveijen kongke katoh in, khatvei chu nikhat le jankhat twikhanglen'a kaumdenin ahi.
26 As I have often traveled to other places, [I have often risked losing my life. For example], sometimes I have been in danger [crossing] rivers. [I have been] in danger [traveling in places] where there were bandits. [At times I have been in] danger among people of my own nation, [the Jews], and [at other times I been in] danger among those who are not Jews. [I have been] in danger in cities, and I have been in dangerous situations in barren areas. I have been in dangerous situations [when I was traveling in ships]. [I have been in] danger among people who falsely [claim to be] fellow believers.
Keima lamsaotah tah kana kholjinin ahi. Keiman vadung hoa le gucha michomho lah a vangsetna katoh in ahi. Keiman kamite, Judah nam'a konle chidang namdang ho lah a konin vangsetna katoh in ahi. Atahsan kahi tia ahia atahbeh ahilou jeh uvin amahoa konin tosetna katoh in ahi.
27 I have worked very hard [DOU] [to earn] ([a living/what I need]), and often I did not sleep. At times I was hungry and thirsty, and at times I did not have enough time to eat. Sometimes I was cold [because] I did not have enough clothes [to wear].
Keima ihmumon, na katong gimin, chule kathoh gimin ahi. Keiman dapthoh in kithing thingin eisulum jouding ponbeiyin kaumin ahi.
28 In addition to all that, I am constantly and deeply concerned about all the congregations [that I have helped to begin].
Chuti chun, hiche ho jouse kalvalin, keiman houbung ho jouse dingin gelkhohna pohgih kaneiyin ahi.
29 [Every time that I hear about fellow believers] [RHQ] who are not strong [spiritually], I sympathize with them [and try to help them. Every time that I learn about a fellow believer] [RHQ] who causes [another believer] to do something wrong, that makes me very angry.
Koiham athalhom keiman athalhomna chu kapohhu pi nomlou? Koi ham akipui lamvai keiman kalunghanpi lou?
30 Because [it seems that] it is necessary for me to [continue] boasting [about myself], I will boast about things that [caused some people to think of me] as being weak.
Keima kisong ding hileng, keima ichan geiloma thalhoma kahim ti thil hoa bou kisong ding kahi.
31 God, who is the Father of our [(inc)] Lord Jesus, and who is the one [whom we should] praise forever, knows that I am not lying [about this]. (aiōn g165)
Pathen, IPakaiyu Yeshua Pa, Ama chu tonsot'a vahchoi jing dinga kilomtah ahin, keiman jou kaseipoi ti ahenai. (aiōn g165)
32 [One time when I was] in Damascus [city], the governor whom King Aretas [had appointed] to rule [part of his area, told his soldiers] to guard [the gates of] the city so that they could seize me [if I tried to leave the city].
Keima Damascus a kaum chun, Leng Aretas in Gamvaipoa apansah pa chun keima matdohna dingin khopi kotpi hoa chun angah akoiyin ahi.
33 But [my friends] helped me to escape [by] putting me in a large basket and lowering me [to the ground by a rope] through an opening in the [city] wall. [That was really humiliating]!
Amaa kona kaki huhdoh theina dingin keima chu khopi bang kotneova kona bom'a khailhah tho kanahi.
