2 Korinte 1
1 Rangte thung jun ih Jisu Kristo kaamwah Pool nyia seng phono Timothi taangnawa- Arah langla Korin dowa Rangte chaaste nyia Akaia hadaang dowa Rangte mina loong raangtaan:
[I], Paul, who [write this letter to you], became an apostle of Christ Jesus because God chose me for that. [Timothy, our] fellow believer, [is with me. I am sending this letter] to you who are God’s people in the congregations in Corinth [city. I want] the believers who live in [other places] in Achaia [province to also read this letter].
2 Seng loong Wah Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo minchan sen damdoh toom tongha adoleh semroongroong ih toomtong an.
[We(exc) desire] that you will [experience] God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ [acting] kindly toward you and causing you to have [inner] peace.
3 Seng Wah Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo Wah suh lakookmi li ih, seng minchante Wah, heh juuba jirep adi seng moot chosokte Rangte!
[We should] praise God, who is the father of our [(inc)] Lord Jesus Christ. He always pities us and helps us [because he is like] [MET] a father to us [and we are like his children]. He always encourages us [(inc)].
4 Seng chamnaang di heh ih chosok hali, erah thoidi seng chamnaang li likhiik o mina chamnaangla erah jen chosok hi, erah langla Rangte taangnawa chohi ah likhiik ih chosok hi.
He has encouraged us [(exc)] whenever we suffered hardships. As a result, we [(exc)] are able to encourage others whenever they suffer hardships, just as/just like God has encouraged us [(exc)].
5 Seng loong ah Kristo mendi rapne ih chamnaangli ah likhiik ih, Rangte taangnawa mootchoh ah uh emamah ih chohi.
It is true that just like Christ suffered, we [who serve him] also continually suffer [because we belong to him]. But also, because we [belong to] Christ, God greatly strengthens us (just as/just like) [God strengthened him].
6 Seng loong chamnaang ebah, erah sen khopi raangtaan nyia sen moot chosok suh; seng loong ah chosok he bah, sen uh chosok ih han eno seng ih naanhi ajih sen ih uh cham anaang ah ejen naan ih an.
So, whenever we [(exc)] experience sufferings, we [learn how to encourage] you [when you experience sufferings. As a result, you will become more and more the kind of people God] wants you to be. Whenever [God] strengthens us [(exc) when we are suffering, he] does that in order that you [may see how he makes us strong when we are suffering. Then, as God] encourages [you in that way], you will learn to continue patiently [trusting him] when you suffer as we do.
7 Erah raangtaan ih sen suh lasoot lasaam ih laalomli; seng ih jat ehi sen loong ah seng damdi roong chamnaang halan, erah likhiik sen ih uh seng chosok hali ah likhiik eroong choh ehan.
As a result, we [(exc)] strongly expect that because you suffer just as/just like we do, [God] will encourage you (just as/just like) [he] encourages us.
8 Joonte loong, Esia hani chamchoti ah sen loong asuh jatthuk suh liihi. Seng erah than ih siiwii chamnaangti thingtong esuh ju takah jook laalomti.
[Our] fellow believers, we [(exc)] want you to know [LIT] about the trouble that we suffered in Asia [province]. That trouble was so very great that it was much more than we were able to endure. As a result, we [(exc)] thought that we would certainly die.
9 Seng loong ah tek haat suh mat jen paat ih rumta ngeh ih samthunti. Enoothong erah angta ah langla seng teenuh teewah suh latuumaang thang ih Rangte suh tuumaang theng o ih etek nawa ngaakthing thukla asuh ah.
Indeed, we felt [like a person feels when he has heard a judge say], “I condemn you to die/be executed [MET].” But [God allowed us to think that we were going to die] so that we would not (rely on/trust in) our own [strength. He wanted us] instead [to rely] only on his [strength, because he] is the one who [has power even to make] those who have died live [again].
10 Etek ejih choophaanphaan angta dowa heh ih puipang hali, heh ih ju puipang hali; eno sen rangsoom ni chosok hali jun ih seng we puipang ehe,
And [even though] we [(exc)] were [in terrible danger and were] about to die, God rescued us. And he will continue to rescue us [whenever we are in trouble]. We confidently expect that he will continue to rescue us [time after time].
11 sen rangsoom nawa ih seng chosok tahe ah likhiik ah. Erah thoidi mina hantek ih seng suh rangsoom kohali ah echaat eh ah, eno Rangte ih romseetam kot ih he; eno seng loong raangtaan ih mina hantek tui nah heh suh lakookmi liirum ah.
[And we are also relying on] you to help us by praying for us [(exc)]. [If many people pray for us], many people will also thank [God] when [he] kindly answers those many prayers [and delivers us from danger].
12 Seng loong khuupookli ah langla, arah mongrep adi sen damdi joonte sano angli roidong ah phanjangjang, eno erah seklilih nyia ladem laju angli ah Rangte lakkot, erah jun ih pan hali adoleh erah mina mongtham nawa tah angka Rangte minchan nyia chaan aphaan nawa.
I am happy [to say] that I have behaved toward all people [MTY] in an honest and sincere way. My conscience assures me [that this is true]. Especially, I have behaved toward you [honestly and sincerely because that is what] God wants us to do. As I have done that, [my thoughts] have not been the thoughts that unbelieving people [MTY] [think are] wise. Instead, [I have behaved toward people only as God wants me to, depending on] God to help me in ways that I do not deserve.
13 Seng ih raangkohi le ah an sen ih mi wet ehan nyia jat ehan. Enoothong amadi sen ih tanang jatwe ri,
[I say that] because [in all my letters to you] I have always written [LIT] clearly in a way that you can easily and completely understand [when you] read them.
14 liwang nah naririh ih jat he ngeh ih tuumaangli, tiimnge liidi sen suh khuupookli ah likhiik Teesu Jisu raaha doh sen uh seng raangtaan ih khuupook etheng toom ang ah.
[Previously some of] you, but not all of you, have completely understood [that I am always honest and sincere with you]. But I confidently expect that [soon] you will all be fully convinced [about that]. Then when the Lord Jesus [MTY] [returns, you will all be able to say that] you are pleased with me, just like I will [be able to say that] I am pleased with you.
15 Erah loong asuh ngah rapne ih tuumaang angno sen reeni jaakhoh dongkhoom suh taatchung tang, sen loong ah ih romseetam ah dopnyi toomchoh an suh ah.
It was because I felt sure [that all of you were pleased with me] that I was planning to visit you on my way from [here] to Macedonia [province]. I also planned to visit you again on my way back from there, so that I could [spend time with you] twice, and be able to help you more, and I was hoping that you would [give me things that I needed] [EUP] for my journey to Judea [province].
16 Ngah Mesidonia nah kah angdoh sen reenah dongkhoom chungtang, eno Mesidonia nawa we ngaak wang hang adoh Judia nah toom diisiit kaat he suh ah.
17 Erah chungtang ah doondaak chung tam etang? Adoleh erah hansi tenthun nawa ih tamchung tang, pootsiit doh “thangroh, thangroh” nyia “daanroh, daanroh” esuh ah.
So then, even though I [changed my mind later and did not do what] I [first] planned to do, [it was not because I did not have an important reason for changing my plans]. Surely you do not [really think] that I decide what I am going to do like people who do not know God do! [RHQ] I am [not like that]. I am not [a person who] says [to people], “Yes, [certainly I will do that],” and then [for no good reason changes his mind and says], “No, [I will not do it].”
18 Rangte ami tiit jeng jengla likhiik, “thangroh thangroh” ih angno “daanroh daanroh” esuh ngah ih kah takham tang.
Just as surely as God always does what he says [he will do, it is true that I have never said], “Yes, [I will do this]” when I [really meant] “No.”
19 Rangte Sah, Jisu Kristo, marah Silas nyia Timothi sengjom ih baatti abah, “danroh” esuh nyia “thangroh” esuh tah angka. Erah tokkhodi Rangte raangtaan ih heh ih thangroh ete;
[I follow the example of] God’s Son, Jesus Christ. When I, along with Silas and Timothy, taught you [about Christ], we told you that he was not [someone who said that he] would do [something] and [then] did not [do it]. Jesus Christ never [said to anyone], “Yes, [I will do what you desire],” and [then did] not [do it].
20 tiimnge liidi Rangte kakhamte asuh heh ih “Em” liite. Erah raangtaan ih Jisu Kristo jun ih “Amen” ah Rangte men raksiit suh liihi.
[We(inc) know that is true], because everything that God promised to do [for his people], he has done completely by [sending] Christ [to save us]. That is why we say, “Yes, it is true! [God has done everything that he promised to do]!” And we praise him for that!
21 Rangte heh teeteewah seng nyia seng loong ah, eroom ih dongsiit tahe, Kristo damdoh seng roidong ah rongtangtang angsuh ah; Rangte heh teeteewah ih danje tahe,
Now it is only God himself who causes us [(exc)], as well as you, to keep on [believing] strongly in Christ. God is the one who chose us [(inc) to belong to him and to have a close relationship] with Christ.
22 Rangte heh teeteewah ih seng changte ngeh ih hemen jatthuk suh sin hoon hali, eno seng ten ni Esa Chiiala ah koheeno seng raangtaan ih ban thiinha asuh kamkam ih tuumaang thuk hali.
He also sent his Holy Spirit into our [(inc)] lives to mark us as belonging to himself [MET]. Also, since he has sent his Spirit to live in us [(inc)], [he wants us to know by this that] he guarantees [MET] [to give us every other] ([blessing/good thing]) [that he has promised].
23 Rangte suh nga ih nga haaki ngeh ih poonhang —heh ih nga tenthun ah ejat ih halang! Ngah Korin ni lakaat aju sen loong phocham an ngeh ih tara tahang.
So now [I will tell you why I changed my mind and did not visit you as I intended to do]: God himself knows [that what I am telling you is true]. The reason that I did not return to Corinth was so that I might not have to [speak to you severely about the wrong that you had done].
24 Sen suh hanpi jaatjaat etheng ngeh ih talaat baatke; seng ih jat ehi sen loong hanpi ah rongtangtang ngeh ah, seng damdi roong mokah hali abah sen tenroon raangtaan ih boh mokah hali.
It is not that Silas, Timothy and I want to boss you [and tell you that you must] believe only what we say. [Not at all]! On the contrary, we [(exc)] are working as partners [with you] in order to make you happy. [We do not try to force you to believe everything that we believe, because we are sure that you are continuing to] trust [the Lord Jesus Christ] and that you are remaining firmly committed to him.
