2 Corinthians 12
1 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast, but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Awhcahnak naw akdaw am a pawh üngpi awhcanak vai awmki. Cunsepi Bawipa naw a na peta hmuhthehnak la mdanak ka jah pyen khai.
2 I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago—whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows.
Khritjan khyang mat, ajana kum xaleikphyü law pängkia kcün üng khankhaw ak'hlüng säiha khüa kyaki tia ka ksingki. (Ahin hin akcang aw mhmuhthehnak aw ti cun am ksing, Mhnam däng naw ksingki).
3 I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows),
Pyen be tü veng; acuna khyang cun Paradaia khünak khamki tia ka ksingki (acuna khyang cun pumsa üng awmki aw, pumsa kaa awmki aw? ti am ksing nawng, Pamhnam däng naw ksingki), acuna khyang naw nghngicima ngthu üng am pyen thei la nghngicima m'yawng am, am pyen theia ngthu ngjaki.
4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
Acuna khyanga phäh ka awhcah khai; cunsepi, ihlawka am ka ktha mahki tia thea ta kamäta phäha am awhcah veng.
6 For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.
Ngthungtak ka pyen khaia kyase, ka awhcah hlü üng pi ka angkia am kya. Cunsepi am awhcah hlü veng, Khyang naw ami na hmuh la ami na ngjaka kthaka ami na mhlünmtai vai am ngja hlü veng.
7 By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
Acunüng, ka hmuh khawjah a lawa phäha ka awhcahkia am akyanak vaia, ka pumsa üng Khawyam naw khuikhanaka nghling a na pet.
8 Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
Acuna khuikhanak üng lätnak vaia Bawipa veia kthum vei nghui lü ktaiyü ni se,
9 He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
ani naw, “Ka bäkhäknak na phäha khäki; ka johit naw am na kyannak kümbe saki” a ti. Acunakyase, Khritawa johit ka khana a awmnak thei vaia jekyai leng leng lü am ka kyannak ka awhcah na bawk khai.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
Acunakyase, Khritawa phäha am kyannak, setnak, hnepeinak, mkhuimkhanak, am mkhawteinake cun ka jah ngaihki. Am ka kyan üng ni ka kyan ve.
11 I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
Angkia kba ka awmki, acunkba nami na vesaki ni. Nangmi cun keia dawnak nami mdan khaia nami kyaki ni. Kei cun ia am ka kya üng pi nami ngsä kkü hea kthaka ka jaw bawkia am kya.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were worked amongst you in all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
Ngsäa ka kyanak msingnak vaia müncankse he la cäicatnak he khawkän cun mlung msaünak am nami ksunga pawh pänga kyaki.
13 For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
Ngui am nami na kpüi vaia am ka ning jah kthähki. Acuna phäha sangcim kce he ka jah ksenaka kthaka nangmi veia akse ka biloki aw? Am kümkawinak na mhlätei ua.
14 Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Hin hin nami veia ka lawnak vaia ka ngcüngceinak akthumnaka kya ve; nami veia i ka thäp vai am ve. Nangmi ni ka ning jah hlüei, ngui am ni. Cana naw nupa i am pe khawi. Nupa naw ni cana a pet khawi.
15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
Ka ning jah kpüinak vaia ta ka tak avan la kamät pi summang vai üng pi ka jekyai khai ni. Ka ning jah jawngnak lawa phäha apica däng nami na jawng na khai aw?
16 Even so, I myself didn’t burden you. But you might say that being crafty, I caught you with deception.
Am ka ning jah kbawngkhaki ti nami ksing khai. Cunsepi khyang naw hleihlaknak am ka ning jah mhleimhlakia ngai khai ni.
17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of those whom I have sent to you?
Ngsä he nami veia jah tüi law lü nami ka amdanga ka yaheiki aw?
18 I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit? Didn’t we walk in the same steps?
Tihtuh nghui na lü, ani mah mah am atänga jumeiki mat ka tüih law. Tihtuh naw amdanga nami ka ning jah yahei peki aw? Atänga kani mlung täng se kani awmkia am kyaki aw? Lam mat üng kani citkia am kyaki aw?
19 Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
Nami ma ka cangnak vaia ngthu ka pyeneikia nami na ngaiki aw? Khritaw üng Pamhnama hmuha ni ngthu kami pyen ve. Cunsepi, ka püi he aw, ahmäi hin nangmia kyäpnak vaia ni akya ve.
20 For I am afraid that perhaps when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire, that perhaps there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,
Ka law üng am ka ngjakhlüa a na ve u lü, kei pi am nami na ngjakhlü vai naw na ähei ve. Ngvawk ngpyeinak, ng’eihnak, mlung sonak, mäta malam vai kthanak, ngsekhanak ja khyanga mawng pyeneinak, awhcahnak la am mawngmeikia awmihnake ka jah hmuh law vai naw na ähei ve.
21 that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness, sexual immorality, and lustfulness which they committed.
Nami veia ka law be üng Pamhnam naw nami ma a na ksenak vai kyüh veng. Ajana am dawkyakia hüipawmnak la mtisa hlükawa awmihnak am kakawng u lü ä ngjutki hea phäha Pamhnam naw na kse na se ka kyah law vai naw na ähei ve.
