2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
Ka angnak api a awm üng na ngaisim pe ua; na ngaisim pe kcang ua.
2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you in marriage to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
Pamhnama kba ning jah k’eihei veng; nangmi cun khyang mat, amät Khritawa khyu vaia ngla ngcim ka tak peta nami kyaki.
3 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Kphyu naw a hleihlaknak am Evah a mhleia kba, nami ngaikyunak pyeh se Khritawa veia nami ng’apnak nami pyai tak vai kyüh veng.
4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news” which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough.
Isetiakyaküng, am kami sanga Jesuh akce sang lü nami veia lawki naküt nami na dokham, keimi üngka naw nami yaha nghmüimkhya la keimi üngka naw nami yaha thangkdawa am kyakia ngmüimkhya la thangkdaw akce nami yaha phäha kyaki!
5 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
Ngsä kkü he nami ti hea kthaka ka hnem bawk khaia am ngai veng.
6 But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
Ngthu sangnak üng amimia kba am ka thengvai üngpi, ksingkhyapnak üngta akcunkba am ni; ahin hin nami veia hmün naküt la akcün naküt ngsing khaia kami pawhki he ni.
7 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God’s Good News free of charge?
Nami veia thangkdaw ka sang law üng aphu am kthäk khawi nawng; nami hlüngtainak vaia kamät naw kamät ka hnem sak hin ka katnaka kyaki aw?
8 I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
Nami ksunga khutbi ka bi k’um üng sangcim kce he naw na khyengki he. Nangmi ning jah kpüinak vaia phäha ka jah yuteikia kya ve.
9 When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
Acunüng, nami veia ve lü ngui ka hlüei üng pi u am kpyankhaei nawng; jumeiki he Maketawnih khaw üngka naw ami law üng ka hlükaw cun na kpüikie; ahmäi üng am ka ning jah kpyankhaei khaia ka ngcüngceiki, acunkba ka ngcüngcei laih laih khai.
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
Khritawa ngthungtak kei üng awmkia kyase, “Ngui am ning jah kthäh nawng” ti lü ka awhcahnak hin Akaijah khaw naküta pi am düt khai ni.
11 Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.
Am ka ning jah jawngnaka phäha ahikba ka pyenki aw? Pamhnam naw ksingki.
12 But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity, that in which they boast, they may be recognised just like us.
Tuhkbäih aphu kaa ka bilawha kba tuha pi ka bi khai, isetiüng ngsä kce he naw pi ka bilawha kba bilo nghaki he tia am ami awhcah vaia phäha ni.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.
Acuna Khyang he cun ngsä kcanga am kya u lü, ngsä kcanga ngsaihkie ni, amimi cun Khritawa ngsä kcanga mäiha ngdang khaia khutbi biki he ni.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
Acun cun mün vai am kya; Khawyam pi khankhawngsäa mäiha ngpyang kyuki ni.
15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
Acunakyase, ania ngsä he pi ngsungpyunkia ngsä hea kba ami kya üng jah münak vai am kya. Abäihnaka mhmüp üng ami bilawh kunga kba yah law khai he.
16 I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
Ka pyen be tüki, u naw pi angkia ä na ngaih kawm. Angkia nami na ngaih üng apica ka awhcahnak vaia angki hlawka na dokham ua.
17 That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
Ahinkba ka pyen hin Bawipa naw a na pyensaka am kya, angkia kba awhcah lü ka pyen ni.
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
Khyang he naw pumsa lama ami awhcaha kba awhcah law hnga süm vang.
19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
Nami mät nami themkia kyase angki he jekyai u lü nami jah doki.
20 For you bear with a man if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, or if he strikes you on the face.
Khyang naw ning jah tamna na lü, ning jah jawiei lü, nami ka ning jah lawhei pe lü, ning jah hmumsit lü, ning jah kbei sepi khamei ua.
21 To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
Acun he ka jah bilawh vai kyühei veng ti lü ka ng’anei vai cun ngkekhyakei veng. Cunsepi, khyang mat mat awhcah khaia a ling üng angkia kba pyen veng, ani a linga kba kei pi ling veng.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
Amimi cun Hebru khyang he aw? Kei pi ka kyaki. Isarel khyang he aw? Kei pi ka kya hngaki. Abrahama mjü he aw? Kei pi ka kyaki.
23 Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labours more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.
Khritawa m'ya he aw? Angkia mäiha ka pyen üng, kei daw bawkia m'yaa kya veng; khüihnak üng aktäa ka kthanaki, thawngim üng kyumnak üng däm bawkia ka kyumki, kpaihnak khawvei khamei lü, thihnak khawvei ka tawki.
24 Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.
Judah khyang he naw, thumkip ja kaw vei cia mhma vei ami na kpaih.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.
Romah he naw kthum vei kphi ngpum am ami na kpaih, mata lung am ami na vawih, kthum vei mlawnga pyehnak ka tawki, mthan mat la mhmüp mat tui üng ka awmki;
26 I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils amongst false brothers;
Ka kdung hünaka khawvei tui hea khana kyühkseki üng, m'yuk’ei hea ksunga kyühkseki üng, Judah khyanga ksunga kyühkseki üng, khyangmjükce hea ksunga kyühkseki üng, khawkhiksea ksunga kyühkseki üng, khawkhyawng khawa kyühkseki üng, mliktuia ksunga kyühkseki üng, bena phawk phawk hea ksunga kyühksekia ka khameiki.
27 in labour and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
Bawngkha khüihkhawmnak, khawvei am ip lü awmnak, eiawk cawixainak, khawvei buh am einak, ngtungjinak vai la suisak vai am ve lü ka ve pängki.
28 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.
Acuna thea akce am pyena, sangcim he jah ngai lü a mhmüp tä se ka khuikhaki.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’t burn with indignation?
Khyang am kyanki a awm üng am ka kyan hngaki, khyang mat katnak da a ceh üng mlung natnak am ka beki.
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
Ka awhcah üng pi am ka kyanaka mawng ni ka awhcahnak hlü ve.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed forever more, knows that I don’t lie. (aiōn g165)
Bawipa Jesuha Pa la Mhnama ngming angläta josenak am awmki naw am ka yaileinak cun ksingki. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the Damascenes’ city, desiring to arrest me.
Damateta ka ve k’um üng bawi Aretaha keha awmki yekap he naw ami na man vaia mlüh mkawt cun ngängki he.
33 I was let down in a basket through a window by the wall, and escaped his hands.
Acunsepi, kei cun yang üng na ktawk u lü, ngvawng khan üngka na khya u se, acuna sangpuxanga kut üngka naw ka lätki.
