2 Corinthians 4
1 So, because God has acted so kindly [toward me], enabling [me to teach] this great [message to people], I never get [so] discouraged [that I stop teaching it].
Hiti chu ahijeh'in, Pathen in ami khotona a hiche lhacha natohna hi eipeh u ahitah jeh in, keiho kalungu alhadah dehpoi.
2 And I have determined that we [(exc)] will be honest [LIT] in everything that we do. We will not [do anything that would cause] us to be ashamed [if people found out about it]. We never try to deceive [you with clever arguments, as some other people do]. We never [try to deceive you] by changing God’s message, [as those same people do]. Instead, we always teach [people only] the truth [about Christ], and we teach it clearly. Knowing that God is watching what we do, we [teach his message in an honest way, with the result that] no one can [accuse] us [(exc) of being deceitful].
Keihon jachat um aguh a thilbol jouse le doha lheplhahna lungthim kapaiyun ahi. Keihon koima lheplhah ding kago pouve, ahilouleh Pathen Thu hi alam louvin kamangcha pouve. Keihon Pathen masangah thutah kaseiyun, chule hiche hi milungdih jousen aheuve.
3 And if, [as some of you say, some people are] not able to understand the message [that we teach about Christ, it is not because we do not teach it clearly]. It is because those people [do not want to believe it]. They are going to perish eternally.
Keihon Kipana Thupha kaseiphongu hi ponlukhu lea kiselgua uma ahileh, hichu amangthah dingho a ding bou ahi.
4 [Satan, who is] the one [who rules] this world, controls the thoughts of those unbelievers. He prevents them from understanding the message about how wonderful Christ is. [They are not able to understand that] Jesus is like God [in every way]. (aiōn g165)
Satan, hiche vannoi pathen hin, atahsan louho lungthim amotsah ahijeh a, amahon Kipana Thupha vah loupitah hi amudoh theilouvu ahi. Hiche Pathen lima um, Christa loupina thudol hi hetkhen theina anei pouvin ahi. (aiōn g165)
5 That is why, [when we(exc) teach people], we do not boast about ourselves, [as some people say that we do]. Instead, [we teach you] that Jesus Christ is our Lord. We ourselves are [only] your servants. [We want to honor and obey] Jesus.
Keiho hi kachung chang thu'u seiphonglea vahlea kahi pouve ti nanghon nahe nauve. Keihon Yeshua Christa hi Pakai ahi, chule keiho hi Yeshua jal'a nangho lhacha natonga kahiuve ti seiphong kahiuve.
6 When God [created the world], he commanded the light to shine [where there was nothing but] darkness. He is the one who has [made his message about Jesus to be like] [MET] a light shining into our [(inc)] minds. [God] has done that [for all of us who believe in Jesus. He has done that so that we will understand that when people saw] Christ, they saw how awesome God himself was.
Ajeh iham itileh Pathen in, “Muthim lah a vah umhen” tia asei chun hiche vah chun ilungsungu asalvah tai, hichu eihon Pathen loupina chu Yeshua Christa maiya kona imudoh uva ihet theina dingu ahi.
7 [This work that God has given to] us [(exc)] is [MET] [like] a very valuable treasure. But we who have that treasure [are as weak as fragile] [MET] clay pots. [God has planned it like that] in order that [people] will know that the power [that changes lives] is God’s power, and not any power of our own.
Tun eiho hiche vah hin ilung sungu asalvah in, hinla eima hotah hi leibel kehthei tobanga hiche gou manlu hi ichinu ahi. Hiche hin keihoa thaneina kidang tah hi Pathena hungkon ahin, keihoa tah ahipoi, ti aphot chenna ahi.
8 We are continually oppressed {[People] continually oppress us} in many ways, but [we have] not been prevented {[God has] not [allowed them to] prevent us} [from teaching the message about Jesus Christ]. We often do not know what to do [in difficult situations], but we never say, “God has abandoned us.”
Keiho hi hahsatna hon aningtin'ah eidel phauvin, hinla eiki tatgoi pouve. Kalungu akichiah jin, hinla kalung lhapai jeng pouve.
9 [We are frequently] persecuted {[People frequently] cause us to suffer}, but [God] never abandons us. [Sometimes we are] badly wounded {[people] badly wound us}, but [God does] not [allow] us [to] be killed {[them to] kill us}.
Keiho delkhumin kaum un, hinla Pathen in einungsun deh pouve. Keiho eikison op uvin, hinla eiki sumangpai pouve.
10 [Wherever we(exc) go], we continually [realize that because people killed] Jesus, [people may] kill us [for teaching his message. But we are willing to go on living this way] in order that [people] will know that Jesus is alive and [that he is directing] us [SYN].
Katahsau hin kagim thoh nauvah Yeshua thina a chan kanei jingun, hichu katahsauva Yeshua a hinna chu akimudoh na ding katiu ahi.
11 [So, although] we are [still] alive, we always realize that we may be killed {that [people some day] may kill us} because [we teach about] Jesus. [God allows us to suffer] in order that [people] will see that Jesus is alive and that he is [strengthening] our bodies that are some day going to die.
Henge, keiho hin Yeshua na katoh jaluvin thina thei dinmun chan geiyin kaum uve, hitia chu katah sauva thina chun Yeshua a hinna chu phot chenna aumna ding ahi.
12 So [I conclude that although] we [apostles] are constantly [suffering and may soon] die, [the result of that is that all of] you [have now received eternal] life.
Hitia keihon thina kimaitopi dia hinkho kamanu hi nangho dinga tonsot hinna asodohna ding katiu ahi.
13 We are not discouraged. We are like [the person who] wrote [in the Scriptures], “[God], I trusted [in you] and so I continue speaking [your message].” We [(exc)] also trust [in God], so we continue speaking [his message].
Hinlah keihon tuni geiya thu kasei phongu hi tahsanna Lasunpan ana phondohsa, “Keiman Pathen katahsanin, hiti chun thu kaseiye,” ati tobang kaneiyu ahi.
14 [We do this] because we [(exc)] know that [although people might kill us, God], who caused the Lord Jesus to live again after he died, will also cause us [(exc)] to live again [after we die. God will do this because we belong to] Jesus. [And then God] will bring us [(exc)], together with you, to be with him.
Eiho Pathen, Pakai Yeshua thinaa kona kaithoupa chun eiho jong Ama toh chule Amaa dinga nangho toh eikaithou dingu ahi ti iheuve.
15 [So I say that] all these things [that we(exc) suffer] happen in order to help you. [We have suffered all this] in order that more and more people, [as a result of hearing that God will] kindly/freely [forgive their sins], will thank [him and praise him. Then] they will greatly honor him [and worship him].
Hichengho jouse hi nangho phatchomna ding ahi. Chule Pathen lungsetna mitampi chunga alhuncheh cheh tobanga hi thangvahna loupi tah, chule Pathen chu loupina chang cheh cheh ding ahi.
16 So, [because we know that as a result of our suffering many people will honor God], we [(exc)] never get so discouraged [that we stop teaching his message]. Although our bodies are getting weaker, [God] encourages us every day and strengthens us spiritually.
Hiti chu ahijeh'in keiho kalhadah hihhel uve. Katahsau hin thina lam chu hinnai jeng jongleh, kalhagaovu hi anitinin ahalcheh cheh in ahi.
17 [I know that] all these troubles that [happen to us in this life are] not significant and will not last forever. [When we think of] the glorious things [that God is preparing] for us [to enjoy] forever [in heaven], all [our suffering now] is not important. (aiōnios g166)
Ajehchu tupet kagim nauhi neocha bou ahin chule sotpi umbe talou ding ahi. Hinla hicheho hin keiho dinga loupina gamchenga phajo le sotjo ahinso doh sah ding ahi. (aiōnios g166)
18 That is why we say, “We will not continue thinking about [all the suffering that we] are experiencing now. Even though [we] cannot see [all the things that God has prepared for us in heaven], those are what we should be thinking about.” [That is how we should think], because [all these troubles] that [we(exc)] have [now] will last only a short time. But what [we will have in heaven], what [we] cannot see [now], will last forever. (aiōnios g166)
Hiti chu ahin, keihon hahsatna hi tupet'a kavet theiyu ahi vang'in, kave pouve; chusangin keihon mit'a kimu theilou lamjoh chu kagaldot'u ahi. Ajeh chu tua kimu thei ho hi chomkah a hung mang ding ahitai, hinla eihon imutheilou hou hi tonsot geiya um ding ahi. (aiōnios g166)
