2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if this poor tent, our earthly house, is taken down, we have in Heaven a building which God has provided, a house not built by human hands, but eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Mamih kah diklai dap im te a phae atah, Pathen kah a imsak, kut neh saii mueh dungyan im te vaan ah ng'khueh uh coeng tila m'ming uh. (aiōnios g166)
2 For in this one we sigh, because we long to put on over it our dwelling which comes from Heaven--
Tahae ah ng'huei uh ngawn cakhaw vaan lamkah mamih imlo khuiah thingcam ham ni n'rhingda uh.
3 if indeed having really put on a robe we shall not be found to be unclothed.
Rhep m'bai uh ngawn koinih m'pumtling pawt khaw m'ming uh sue.
4 Yes, we who are in this tent certainly do sigh under our burdens, for we do not wish to lay aside that with which we are now clothed, but to put on more, so that our mortality may be absorbed in Life.
Dap ah aka om rhoek tah bakba n'hap uh tih n'huei uh. Tekah te pit ham pawt tih thingcam ham ng'ngaih uh. Te daengah ni hingnah loh aka duek thai te a yoop eh.
5 And He who formed us with this very end in view is God, who has given us His Spirit as a pledge and foretaste of that bliss.
Hekah boeih ham Pathen loh mamih n'thoeng sak tih, mamih taengah Mueihla cungah m'paek.
6 We have therefore a cheerful confidence. We know that while we are at home in the body we are banished from the Lord;
Te dongah n'sayalh uh taitu tih Boeipa taeng lamkah m'vi uh vaengah pumsa ah n'naeh uh te m'ming uh.
7 for we are living a life of faith, and not one of sight.
Mikhmuh nen pawt tih tangnah nen ni m'pongpa uh.
8 So we have a cheerful confidence, and we anticipate with greater delight being banished from the body and going home to the Lord.
N'sayalh uh dongah pumsa lamkah m'vi uh ham neh Boeipa taengah naeh ham te n'lungtlun uh ngai.
9 And for this reason also we make it our ambition, whether at home or in exile, to please Him perfectly.
Te dongah n'naeh akhaw, m'vi uh akhaw amah kolo la om ham te tlungmu uh van sih.
10 For we must all of us appear before Christ's judgement-seat in our true characters, in order that each may then receive an award for his actions in this life, in accordance with what he has done, whether it be good or whether it be worthless.
Mamih he Khrih kah khotloeng hmaiah boeih a phoe hama kuek. Te daengah ni pakhat rhip loh pumsa kah khoboe te bangla, a thae khaw, a then khaw a dang eh.
11 Therefore, because we realize how greatly the Lord is to be feared, we are endeavouring to win men over, and God recognizes what our motives are, and I hope that you, in your hearts, recognize them too.
Boeipa te rhihnah koila aka ming rhoek loh hlang ng'koilaw uh. Pathen taengla m'phoe uh coeng dongah nangmih kah mingcimnah dongah khaw phoe coeng tila ka ngaiuep.
12 We are not again commending ourselves to your favour, but are furnishing you with a ground of boasting on our behalf, so that you may have a reply ready for those with whom superficial appearances are everything and sincerity of heart counts for nothing.
Nangmih taengah kamamih ka oep uh thae bal moenih. Tedae kaimih yueng thangpomnah ham tah nangmih taengah rhoidoengnah la kam paek uh. Te daengah ni thinko khuikah pawt tih maelhmai dongah aka pomsang rhoek te a moeh uh thai eh.
13 For if we have been beside ourselves, it has been for God's glory; or if we are now in our right senses, it is in order to be of service to you.
Ka limlum uh cakhaw Pathen ham, ka muet uh cakhaw nangmih ham.
14 For the love of Christ overmasters us, the conclusion at which we have arrived being this--that One having died for all, His death was their death,
Khrih kah lungnah loh mamih n'nan dongah ol a tloek he. Pakhat loh hlang boeih yueng a duek dongah hlang boeih tah duek coeng.
15 and that He died for all in order that the living may no longer live to themselves, but to Him who died for them and rose again.
Tedae hlang boeih yueng laa duek daengah ni aka hing rhoek long khaw amah amah aha hing uh pawt eh. Anih te amih yueng la duek tih thoo coeng ta.
16 Therefore for the future we know no one simply as a man. Even if we have known Christ as a man, yet now we do so no longer.
Te dongah tahae lamkah tah kaimih loh pumsa la kam ming uh moenih. Khrih te pumsa la m'ming uh ngawn dae tahae ah m'ming uh voel pawh.
17 So that if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old state of things has passed away; a new state of things has come into existence.
Te dongah hlang pakhat loh Khrih ah a om atah suentae thai la om coeng. A rhuem tah khum tih a thai la om coeng he.
18 And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and has appointed us to serve in the ministry of reconciliation.
A cungkuem he Pathen kah ni. Amah loh Khrih ah amah taengla mamih m'moeithen tih moeithennah bibi te mamih m'paek coeng.
19 We are to tell how God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not charging men's transgressions to their account, and that He has entrusted to us the Message of this reconciliation.
Pathen tah Khrih ah om tih amah ham Diklai a moeithen. Amih kah tholhdalhnah te amamih taengah thoelh pah voel pawh. Mamih taengah khaw moeithennah olka te a khueh coeng.
20 On Christ's behalf therefore we come as ambassadors, God, as it were, making entreaty through our lips: we, on Christ's behalf, beseech men to be reconciled to God.
Te dongah Khrih yueng la ka laipai uh. Kaimih ah Pathen kah n'hloep vanbangla Pathen neh na moeithen uh ham te Khrih yueng la kan hloep uh.
21 He has made Him who knew nothing of sin to be sin for us, in order that in Him we may become the righteousness of God.
Tholh aka ming pawt te mamih kongah tholh laa saii. Te daengah ni amah ah Pathen kah duengnah dongah mamih loh ng'om uh eh.
