2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly amongst you, but being absent am bold towards you.
Kei Pawluh nami ksunga mlung hnemnak am awm lü, athuknaka ka ve üng linglai khawiki naw, Khritawa hniphnawinak la dawnak am ning jah nghui na veng.
2 Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.
Pumsa lama keimi, kami ngdüithokia jah ngaiki hea veia ka linga kba, nami veia ka pha law üng ka linglai khaia ä nami na lingnak vaia ning jah nghui na veng.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;
Khawmdek üng mi awmki, acunsepi khawmdeka thum üng am mi ngtu naw.
4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,
Keimia ngtuknaka likcim he cun khawmdek likcim hea am kya lü Pamhnama johita likcim he ni. Acun cun mlüh ngvawng he jah kpyehnak vaia kami summangki.
5 throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
Am cangkia ngcuhnak he la Pamhnam ksingkhyapnak sungkhamkia awhcahnak he cun jah kpyeh u lü, ami cungaihnak jah pinpawk u lü Khritawa ngthu kami jah läklam saki.
6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.
Ngthu nami ngaihnak a kümkawi käna, ngthu ä ngaihnak naküt kami mkhuimkha khaia kami ngcüngcei pängki.
7 Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.
Ipi akpung lam nami tengki. Nangmi üngka uyaw Khritawa ka kyakia a ngaihkyu üng, ngaikyu be kawm. Amimi Khritawa ka ami kyaa kba, Keimi pi Khritawa ka kami kya hngaki.
8 For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,
Ka ana (nangmi ning jah kpyehnak vaia am kya lü nangmi ning jah pyanthamnak kdaw vaia, Bawipa naw ana pet cen) aktäa ka awhcahnak üng pi ka hmai am se khai.
9 that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
Ca ka yuk law am ka ning jah mkyühkia am kya.
10 For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”
Uyaw naw, “Pawluha cayuk he yüh u lü kyanki he, amät mi hlawnga a awm üng a ktha am kyan lü a ngthu pyen pi amdang ni,” tiki.
11 Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
Acuna khyang he naw nami hlawnga am kami ve üng ca üng kami yuka kba, nami hlawnga kami ve üng bilawhnak am kami awmki ni ti hin ksing khai.
12 For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
Amimät la amimät mhlünmtaieikia khyang he am atänga kami ve vai am ngaih u nawng, mtängnak vai pi am kami ngaihki. Ihlawka angki he ni! Amimät naw amimät msuimcäpnak am amimäta ngthu mkhyahki he.
13 But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
Keimi awhcahnak hin kami awhcah vaia kthaka am awhcah u nawng; Mhnam naw a jah tak peta khuta k’uma um lü nami ksunga kami bilawh pi ngpüiki ni.
14 For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,
Acuna k’uma nami umkia kyase, Khritawa thangkdaw law püi u lü nami veia kami law üng acuna thea am bilo u nawng.
15 not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labours, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,
Acunakyase, Pamhnam naw pawh vaia a jah tak peta thea khyang kcea khutbia kthaka am awhcah ve ung. Nami jumnak däm law se, nami ksunga khutbi akdäm bawk kami pawh law khaia kami ngak’uhki.
16 so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
Acunüng thangkdaw cun nangmia khaw pi khye u lü kami sang khai. Khyang kce hea khawa bilawh pänga khutbi kami awhcahnak vai am ngaih ve ung.
17 But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
Cunsepi, “A awhcah vai ngaiki naw, Bawipa bilawhnak awhcah na se” tia cangcim naw pyenki.
18 For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
Amät mhlünmtaieiki naw ngaknak am hlawhei khawi, Bawipa naw a mhlünmtai naw ni ngaknak a hlawhei. Mimät naw mimät dawkia mi ngaiha phäha am kya.
