2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God--and our brother Timothy: To the Church of God in Corinth, with all God's people throughout Greece.
Pamhnama ngjakhlüa, Jesuh Khritawa ngsä, kei Pawluh la mi na Timoti naw, Korintuh khawa awmkia Pamhnama sangcim la, Akaijah khawa awmki hea Pamhnama khyang ngcim hea veia:
2 May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mi Pa Pamhnam la Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw üngka bäkhäknak la dim’yenak nami veia ve se.
3 Heartfelt thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father who is full of compassion and the God who gives all comfort.
Mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa Pamhnam la Pa, m'yeneinaka Pa la dawkyanak naküta phung, mi Pamhnama veia jenak mi pyen vai.
4 He comforts us in our every affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction by means of the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
Pamhnam naw a jah jekyainak sak am, khuikhaki he pi mi jah jekyaisak thei hnga vaia, ani naw mi khuikhanak naküt üng jah jekyai saki.
5 For just as we have more than our share of suffering for the Christ, so also through the Christ we have more than our share of comfort.
Khritawa khuikhanak akdäm kami yümeia kba, Khritaw üng Pamhnama kpüikpaknak pi kami yümei püiki.
6 But if, on the one hand, we are enduring affliction, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if, on the other hand, we are receiving comfort, it is for your comfort which is produced within you through your patient fortitude under the same sufferings as those which we also are enduring.
Khuikha u lü kami ve üng pi nangmia dawnak vai la küikyanak vaia ni akya ve; dawnak am kami ve üng pi khameinak kami dunei theia kba khameinak nami duneinak thei hnga vaia nami dawkyanak vaia ni akya ve.
7 And our hope for you is stedfast; for we know that as you are partners with us in the sufferings, so you are also partners in the comfort.
Khuikhanak nami jah khameipüikia kyase jekyainak pi nami yah khai tia üpna kami taki.
8 For as for our troubles which came upon us in the province of Asia, we would have you know, brethren, that we were exceedingly weighed down, and felt overwhelmed, so that we renounced all hope even of life.
Ka püi he aw, Asah khawa am khamei hlawt vaia khuikhanak, xüng be vaia pi ä ngaih vaia ami jah bawngkhanak sak he cen nami ksing vai ngja hlü veng.
9 Nay, we had, as we still have, the sentence of death within our own selves, in order that our confidence may repose, not on ourselves, but on God who raised the dead to life.
Kami thi khaia kami ngaiki. Acun cun, kami mät am üpna u lü, khyang kthi mtho bekia Pamhnam kami üpnak thei vai phäha ni akya ve.
10 He it is who rescued us from so imminent a death, and will do so again; and we have a firm hope in Him that He will also rescue us in all the future,
Acukba kyühksekia thihnak üng Pamhnam naw jah küikyan pängki, jah küikyan be khai; jah küikyan be laih laih khai ti amät kami üpnaki.
11 while you on your part lend us your aid in entreaty for us, so that from many lips thanksgivings may rise on our behalf for the boon granted to us at the intercession of many.
Kami phäha ktaiyünak am nami jah kpüikia kyase, tuha pi jah küikyan khai ti kami jumki. Acunakyase, khyang khawjah naw nami jah ktaiyü peta phäha kami khana pha lawkia bäkhäknak hmu u lü khyang khawjah naw kami phäha jekyainak pyen khai he.
12 For the reason for our boasting is this--the testimony of our own conscience that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, and in reliance not on worldly wisdom but on the gracious help of God, that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and above all in our relations with you.
Khawmdek khana kami xünak hin khyanga thengvainak am am ni lü, aktunga nangmi am mi ngkhawteinak üng Pamhnama jah peta ngcimcaihnak, cingcainak, Pamhnama bäkhäknaka johit am akdaw akse ksingnak theia phäh kami awhcaki ni.
13 For we are writing to you nothing different from what we have written before, or from what indeed you already recognize as truth and will, I trust, recognize as such to the very end;
Nami ksing thei la nami kheh thei vaia däng ni nami veia ca kami yuk law ve. Bawipa Jesuha mhmüp üng kami ning jah awhcahnak vaia kba, keimi pi nami jah awcahna khai ti avang nami ksing pängki. Avan nami ksing law khai ti ngah'uhnak ka taki.
14 just as some few of you have recognized us as your reason for boasting, even as you will be ours, on the day of Jesus our Lord.
15 It was because I entertained this confidence that I intended to visit you before going elsewhere--so that you might receive a twofold proof of God's favour--
Acunüng, acuna jumnak ta u lü a bäkhäknak ngsawn nghngih nami yahnak vaia nami veia ka law ma khai.
16 and to pass by way of Corinth into Macedonia. Then my plan was to return from Macedonia to you, and be helped forward by you to Judaea.
Nangmi ning jah hmu law lü, Maketawnih khawa ka cit pah khai; acunüng, Maketawnih khaw üngka naw nami veia ka nghlat law be khaia ka büki; acunüng, Judah khawa ka cehnak vai üng nangmi naw nami na tha vaia ka bü siki.
17 Did I display any vacillation or caprice in this? Or the purposes which I form--do I form them on worldly principles, now crying "Yes, yes," and now "No, no"?
Acukba ka ngtünak üng, ka ngcüngcei sawxatki aw? Pumsa lama ngtün lü, “Ä’ sawxat lü ‘Ka’ sawxat lü ka awmki aw?
18 As certainly as God is faithful, our language to you is not now "Yes" and now "No."
Pamhnam cun ngthungtak akya kba, nami veia ka ngtün cun, “Ä” tia kya lü, “Ka” tia am kya.
19 For Jesus Christ the Son of God--He who was proclaimed among you by us, that is by Silas and Timothy and myself--did not show Himself a waverer between "Yes" and "No." But it was and always is "Yes" with Him.
Pamhnama Capa Jesuh Khritawa ngthu kei, Tilah la Timoti naw nami veia kami sang khawi cen, “Ä” la “Ka” am kya lü, Pamhnam üng “Ä” tia ni akya nglät ve.
20 For all the promises of God, whatever their number, have their confirmation in Him; and for this reason through Him also our "Amen" acknowledges their truth and promotes the glory of God through our faith.
Pamhnama ngthu khyütam ijah ve se pi, Jesuh üng “Ä” tia ni akya bäih ve. Acunakyase ni, Amät üng “Amen” mi ti u lü, Pamhnama hlüngtainak mi ngsing saki.
21 But He who is making us as well as you stedfast through union with the Anointed One, and has anointed us, is God,
Acunüng, Khritaw üng nangmi la keimi atänga jah ngdüihsak lü, jah khängsaki cun Pamhnam ni. Jah kphyei nghaki cun Mhnam amäta kyaki.
22 and He has also set His seal upon us, and has put His Spirit into our hearts as a pledge and foretaste of future blessing.
Ani cun a jah ka ni tia msingnak mi khana ta lü, mi ka vaia khawjah a tak üpnak vaia khängsakia Ngmüimkhya Ngcim mi mlungmthin k’uma jah pekia kyaki.
23 But as for me, as my soul shall answer for it, I appeal to God as my witness, that it was to spare you pain that I gave up my visit to Corinth.
Nangmi ka ning jah m'yeneia phäha ni, Korintuh khawa atuh veia am ka law hin; ka mlungmthin ksingkia Pamhnam na ksingpüi khaia khü veng.
24 Not that we want to lord it over you in respect of your faith--we do, however, desire to help your joy--for in the matter of your faith you are standing firm.
Nami jumnaka khana bawia kami kyakia am kya ve, nami jekyainak vaia kami khüiki ka tinak ni; jumnak üng khäng khaia nami ngdüiki ti ka ksingki.
