2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God that is in Corinth, and to all the believers in the entire region of Achaia.
Khawsa kawngaihnaak amyihna Jesu Khrih a ceityih na ak awm Paul ingkaw ningnih a naa Timote ing, Korin khaw awhkaw ak awm thlangboel ingkaw, Akhaia qam khuiawh ak awm thlakciimkhqi boeih a venawh:
2 May grace be to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ningmih a Pa Khawsa ven ingkaw Boei Jesu Khrih a ven awhkaw qeennaak ingkaw ngaihdingnaak awm seh.
3 May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be praised. He is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.
Ningmih a Bawipa Jesu Khrih a Pa ingkaw ngaihdingnaak boeih a Pa Khawsa venawh thangleeknaak awm seh,
4 God comforts us in all our affliction, so that we can comfort those who are in any affliction. We comfort others with the same comfort that God used to comfort us.
Khawsa venawh kawng ni huh ngaihdingnaak ingkaw kyinaak ak hukhqi ce ngaihdingnaak awi nik kqawn peeknaak thai aham, kyinaak boeih awh amah ing ngaihdingnaak ce ni pehy.
5 For just as the sufferings of Christ abound for our sake, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
Khrih ak khuikha a huhnaak ce ningnih a hqingnaak awh ang lawng lawt amyihna, Khrih ak caming ngaihdingnaak awm lawng law lawt hy.
6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort. Your comfort is working effectively when you patiently share in the same sufferings that we also suffer.
Kawseet ngaihkyinaak ham ingkaw hulnaak ahamni; kaimih ka mingngaih a ding awhtaw, nangmih naming ngaih a dingnaak aham ingkaw hulnaak ahamni; ce ing ce kaimih ing ka ming yh kyinaak ce yh thainaak ni pek khqi hy.
7 Our expectation concerning you is unshaken, for we know that as you share the sufferings, you also share our comfort.
Nangmih aham kaimih ang ngaih-unaak ve cak hy, kaimih ak khuikhanaak nami ni qup pyi adawngawh, kaimih a ngaihdingnaak awm ni qup pyi lawt kawm uk ti.
8 For we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the troubles we had in Asia. We were so completely crushed beyond our strength that we despaired even of life.
Koeinaakhqi, Asia qam awh kyinaak kami huh ce a sim kaana nami awm aham am ngaih unyng. Am kami yh thai dyna, khuikhanaak ce thihhlo dyna yh unyng.
9 Indeed, we had the sentence of death on us. But that was to make us not put our trust in ourselves, but instead in God, who raises the dead.
Kak kawk khuiawh taw thihnaak hu hawh kawng unyng, tinawh poek unyng. Cehlai ka mimah awh ang hang kaana, thlakthi ak thawhkung Khawsa awh ka ming hangnaak thai ahamni vemyihna a awm.
10 He rescued us from such a deadly peril, and he will rescue us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us.
Anih ing cemyih thihpit dyna awmnaak awhkawng ni loet sak khqi hy, haiben awh awm ni loet sak hyn bai kaw. Anih ing ni loet sak khqi bai kaw, tinawh ngaih-unaak ce ak khanawh ta unyng,
11 He will do this as you also help us by your prayer. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor given to us through the prayers of many.
nangmih ing cykcahnaak ing ni bawm uhyk ti. Thlang khawzah ak cykcahnaak ce am qeennaak ak caming thung na a awm a dawngawh kaimih ang zyngna thlang khawzah ing zeelnaak awi kqawn kawm uh.
12 We are proud of this: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world with holiness and godly sincerity, not relying on fleshly wisdom but on the grace of God.
Ve ve kaimih a zoeksangnaak na awm hy: ka mimah awhkaw ak che ak leek simnaak kawlung ing Khawsa ven awhkaw ciimcaihnaak, kawlung tang ing khawmdek awh, awipui na nangmih mi tuqunaak awh ak nep na khaw sa unyng tice ni sim sak hy. Khawmdek cyihnaak ing cemyihna bi am bi unyng saw Khawsa am qeennaak ak caming ni.
13 We write to you nothing that you cannot read and understand. I expect that,
Ikawtih nangmih ing am nami noet thai ingkaw am naming zaksim ce am qee law nyng.
14 as you have understood us in part, we will be your reason for boasting on the day of our Lord Jesus, just as you will be our reason to boast.
Kaimih ve ak kek am tai awm nami ning zaksim hawh dawngawh, Bawipa Jesu a nyn awh nangmih awh ka zoeksang qu aham a awm amyihna, kaimih awh awm nangmih zoeksang qu kawm uk ti, tice ak soep cana zasim bit kawm uk ti tinawh ngaih-u unyng.
15 Because I was confident about this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might receive the benefit of two visits.
Ikawtih vawhkaw yp qunaak ka taak dawngawh, nangmih hih voei na nami hawihkhangnaak ham, lamma na nangmih a venawh law aham cai nyng.
16 I was planning to visit you on my way to Macedonia. Then I wanted to visit you again on my trip from Macedonia, and then for you to send me on my way to Judea.
Makedonia na ka ceh awh nangmih hqip pahoei aham cai nyng, cekcoengawh Makedonia awhkawng nangmih a venna law tlaih aham cai nyng, cawhkawng Judah dyna nangmih ing ni thak uh, ti nyng.
17 When I was thinking this way, was I hesitating? Do I plan things according to human standards, so that I say “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?
Vemyihna kang cai awh, a zanghoep cana nu kang cai? Kang hqi ing, “Oeih, oeih” am awhtaw “Am, am” ka tinaak ham khawmdek phung na nu kang cai?
18 But just as God is faithful, we do not say both “Yes” and “No.”
Cehlai Khawsa taw a yp a awm dawngawh, kaimih ak awithang ve nangmih a venawh, “Oeih” ingkaw “Am” amni.
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom Silvanus, Timothy and I proclaimed among you, is not “Yes” and “No.” Instead, he is always “Yes.”
Ikawtih Khawsa Capa, Jesu Khrih, nangmih a venawh kai, Sila ingkaw Timote mi ing kamik khypyi ce, “Am” ingkaw “Oeih” amni, Cehlai amah awhtaw a poepa na “Oeih” na awm hy.
20 For all the promises of God are “Yes” in him. So also through him we say “Amen” to the glory of God.
Ikawtih Khawsa ing iqyt awi taaknaak sai mai seiawm, Khrih awh cemyihkhqi boeih ce “Oeih” na awm hy. Anih ak caming Khawsa thangleeknaak aham ningnih ing “Amen” ni ti uhy.
21 Now it is God who confirms us with you in Christ, and he appointed us,
Khawsa ing ni kaimih ingkaw nangmih ve Khrih awh ak cak na a ning dyih sak khqi. Anih ing situi ni syp khqi nawh,
22 he set his seal on us and he gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee of what is to come.
amah a koena ni awmnaak tacik ce ni deng sih khqi nawh, Ciim Myihla ce nipek khqi hy.
23 Instead, I call God to bear witness for me that the reason I did not come to Corinth was so that I might spare you.
Nangmih hlyn aham ka ngaih awh ni Korin khaw na am kang hlat hy, tice anik sim pyikung na Khawsa ta nyng.
24 This is not because we are trying to control what your faith should be. Instead, we are working with you for your joy, as you stand in your faith.
Nangmih ak cangnaak awh ak cak na naming dyih dawngawh, nangmih a zeelnaak ahamni nangmih mi bi ni bi haih uh hy.
