< ၂ ကရိန္ထိနး 10 >
1 ယုၐ္မတ္ပြတျက္ၐေ နမြး ကိန္တု ပရောက္ၐေ ပြဂလ္ဘး ပေါ်လော'ဟံ ခြီၐ္ဋသျ က္ၐာန္တျာ ဝိနီတျာ စ ယုၐ္မာန် ပြာရ္ထယေ၊
Now, I, Paul, make a personal appeal to you by the meekness and gentleness of the Christ — I who, “in your presence, am humble in my bearing towards you, but, when absent, am bold in my language to you” —
2 မမ ပြာရ္ထနီယမိဒံ ဝယံ ယဲး ၑာရီရိကာစာရိဏော မနျာမဟေ တာန် ပြတိ ယာံ ပြဂလ္ဘတာံ ပြကာၑယိတုံ နိၑ္စိနောမိ သာ ပြဂလ္ဘတာ သမာဂတေန မယာစရိတဝျာ န ဘဝတု၊
I implore you not to drive me to “show my boldness,” when I do come, by the confident tone which I expect to have to adopt towards some of you, who are expecting to find us influenced in our conduct by earthly motives.
3 ယတး ၑရီရေ စရန္တော'ပိ ဝယံ ၑာရီရိကံ ယုဒ္ဓံ န ကုရ္မ္မး၊
For, though we live an earthly life, we do not wage an earthly war.
4 အသ္မာကံ ယုဒ္ဓါသ္တြာဏိ စ န ၑာရီရိကာနိ ကိန္တွီၑွရေဏ ဒုရ္ဂဘဉ္ဇနာယ ပြဗလာနိ ဘဝန္တိ,
The weapons for our warfare are not earthly, but, under God, are powerful enough to pull down strongholds.
5 တဲၑ္စ ဝယံ ဝိတရ္ကာန် ဤၑွရီယတတ္တွဇ္ဉာနသျ ပြတိဗန္ဓိကာံ သရွွာံ စိတ္တသမုန္နတိဉ္စ နိပါတယာမး သရွွသင်္ကလ္ပဉ္စ ဗန္ဒိနံ ကၖတွာ ခြီၐ္ဋသျာဇ္ဉာဂြာဟိဏံ ကုရ္မ္မး,
We are engaged in confuting arguments and pulling down every barrier raised against the knowledge of God. We are taking captive every hostile thought, to bring it into submission to the Christ,
6 ယုၐ္မာကမ် အာဇ္ဉာဂြာဟိတွေ သိဒ္ဓေ သတိ သရွွသျာဇ္ဉာလင်္ဃနသျ ပြတီကာရံ ကရ္တ္တုမ် ဥဒျတာ အာသ္မဟေ စ၊
and are fully prepared to punish every act of rebellion, when once your submission is complete.
7 ယဒ် ဒၖၐ္ဋိဂေါစရံ တဒ် ယုၐ္မာဘိ ရ္ဒၖၑျတာံ၊ အဟံ ခြီၐ္ဋသျ လောက ဣတိ သွမနသိ ယေန ဝိဇ္ဉာယတေ သ ယထာ ခြီၐ္ဋသျ ဘဝတိ ဝယမ် အပိ တထာ ခြီၐ္ဋသျ ဘဝါမ ဣတိ ပုနရွိဝိစျ တေန ဗုဓျတာံ၊
You look at the outward appearance of things! Let any one, who is confident that he belongs to Christ, reflect, for himself, again upon the fact — that we belong to Christ no less than he does.
8 ယုၐ္မာကံ နိပါတာယ တန္နဟိ ကိန္တု နိၐ္ဌာယဲ ပြဘုနာ ဒတ္တံ ယဒသ္မာကံ သာမရ္ထျံ တေန ယဒျပိ ကိဉ္စိဒ် အဓိကံ ၑ္လာဃေ တထာပိ တသ္မာန္န တြပိၐျေ၊
Even if I boast extravagantly about our authority — which the Lord gave us for building up your faith and not for overthrowing it — still I have no reason to be ashamed.
9 အဟံ ပတြဲ ရျုၐ္မာန် တြာသယာမိ ယုၐ္မာဘိရေတန္န မနျတာံ၊
I say this, that it may not seem as if I were trying to overawe you by my letters.
10 တသျ ပတြာဏိ ဂုရုတရာဏိ ပြဗလာနိ စ ဘဝန္တိ ကိန္တု တသျ ၑာရီရသာက္ၐာတ္ကာရော ဒုရ္ဗ္ဗလ အာလာပၑ္စ တုစ္ဆနီယ ဣတိ ကဲၑ္စိဒ် ဥစျတေ၊
For people say “His letters are impressive and vigorous, but his personal appearance is insignificant and his speaking contemptible.”
11 ကိန္တု ပရောက္ၐေ ပတြဲ ရ္ဘာၐမာဏာ ဝယံ ယာဒၖၑား ပြကာၑာမဟေ ပြတျက္ၐေ ကရ္မ္မ ကုရွွန္တော'ပိ တာဒၖၑာ ဧဝ ပြကာၑိၐျာမဟေ တတ် တာဒၖၑေန ဝါစာလေန ဇ္ဉာယတာံ၊
Let such a man be assured of this — that our words in our letters show us to be, when absent, just what our deeds will show us to be, when present.
12 သွပြၑံသကာနာံ ကေၐာဉ္စိန္မဓျေ သွာန် ဂဏယိတုံ တဲး သွာန် ဥပမာတုံ ဝါ ဝယံ ပြဂလ္ဘာ န ဘဝါမး, ယတသ္တေ သွပရိမာဏေန သွာန် ပရိမိမတေ သွဲၑ္စ သွာန် ဥပမိဘတေ တသ္မာတ် နိရ္ဗ္ဗောဓာ ဘဝန္တိ စ၊
We have not indeed the audacity to class or compare ourselves with some of those who indulge in self-commendation! But, when such persons measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they show a want of wisdom.
13 ဝယမ် အပရိမိတေန န ၑ္လာဃိၐျာမဟေ ကိန္တွီၑွရေဏ သွရဇ္ဇွာ ယုၐ္မဒ္ဒေၑဂါမိ ယတ် ပရိမာဏမ် အသ္မဒရ္ထံ နိရူပိတံ တေနဲဝ ၑ္လာဃိၐျာမဟေ၊
We, however, will not give way to unlimited boasting, but will confine ourselves to the limits of the sphere to which God limited us, when he permitted us to come as far as Corinth.
14 ယုၐ္မာကံ ဒေၑော'သ္မာဘိရဂန္တဝျသ္တသ္မာဒ် ဝယံ သွသီမာမ် ဥလ္လင်္ဃာမဟေ တန္နဟိ ယတး ခြီၐ္ဋသျ သုသံဝါဒေနာပရေၐာံ ပြာဂ် ဝယမေဝ ယုၐ္မာန် ပြာပ္တဝန္တး၊
For it is not the case, as it would be if we were not in the habit of coming to you, that we are exceeding our bounds! Why, we were the very first to reach you with the Good News of the Christ!
15 ဝယံ သွသီမာမ် ဥလ္လင်္ဃျ ပရက္ၐေတြေဏ ၑ္လာဃာမဟေ တန္နဟိ, ကိဉ္စ ယုၐ္မာကံ ဝိၑွာသေ ဝၖဒ္ဓိံ ဂတေ ယုၐ္မဒ္ဒေၑေ'သ္မာကံ သီမာ ယုၐ္မာဘိရ္ဒီရ္ဃံ ဝိသ္တာရယိၐျတေ,
Our boasting, therefore, is not unlimited, nor does it extend to the labours of others; but our hope is that, as your faith grows, our influence among you may be very greatly increased — though still confined to our sphere —
16 တေန ဝယံ ယုၐ္မာကံ ပၑ္စိမဒိက္သ္ထေၐု သ္ထာနေၐု သုသံဝါဒံ ဃောၐယိၐျာမး, ဣတ္ထံ ပရသီမာယာံ ပရေဏ ယတ် ပရိၐ္ကၖတံ တေန န ၑ္လာဃိၐျာမဟေ၊
So that we shall be able to tell the Good News in the districts beyond you, without trespassing on the sphere assigned to others, or boasting of what has been already done.
17 ယး ကၑ္စိတ် ၑ္လာဃမာနး သျာတ် ၑ္လာဃတာံ ပြဘုနာ သ ဟိ၊
‘Let him who boasts make his boast of the Lord.’
18 သွေန ယး ပြၑံသျတေ သ ပရီက္ၐိတော နဟိ ကိန္တု ပြဘုနာ ယး ပြၑံသျတေ သ ဧဝ ပရီက္ၐိတး၊
For it is not the man who commends himself that stands the test, but the man who is commended by the Lord.
