2 Corinthians 10

1 Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

Kai Paul kamah loh Khrih kah muelhtuetnah neh kodonah dongah nangmih kan hloep coeng. Amah nangmih taengah maelhmai aka tlayae loh mikvoelh ah khaw nangmih taengla ka sayalh coeng.

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.

Pangtungnah neh sayalh om pawt ham kan hloep. Pumsa saloel ah aka pongpa bangla mamih aka poek te ni hlangvang taengah khaw ngaingaih puei ham ka poek.

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;

Pumsa neh m'pongpa uh dae pumsa bangla m'vathoh uh moenih.

4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,

Te dongah mamih caemrhal kah pumcumnah tah pumsa moenih. Tedae Pathen taengah tah poeknah hmuencak te koengloengnah dongla a hlak khaw yoeikoek mai.

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,

Pathen kah mingnah aka tlai thil hmuen sang boeih, poeknah cungkuem khaw Khrih kah olngainah khuila a sol coeng.

6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.

Nangmih kah olngainah loh a soep vaengah althanah boeih te thuung ham sikim la om coeng.

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.

A maelhmai te na hmuh uh vanbangla, Khat khat loh amah te Khrih kah hlang la om hama ngaitang atah amah te koep nawt uh saeh. Anih bangla mamih khaw Khrih kah la n'om uh van.

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,

Mamih kah saithainah te pakhat khaw vel ka pomsang atah nangmih kah hlinsainah ham ni Boeipa loh m'paek, koengloengnah ham moenih. Te nen te yah ka pok mahpawh.

9 that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.

Te dongah capat neh nangmih aka hihham bangla ka poek boel eh.

10 For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”

Capat long tah a rhih kahlak la rhaprhap a thui. Tedae pumsa kah a lonah tah tattloel la om tih a olka tah a hnaelcoe pah.

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.

He he amah loh poek saeh. Lakhla vaengah capat dongkah olka neh ng'om uh vanbangla a om uh vaengkah khoboe te khaw.

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.

Amah aka oep uh rhoek te hlangvang khaw mamih taengah nuen sak ham neh thuidoek ham ka ngaingaih uh pawh. Tedae amih loh amah neh amah te noek uh thae tih amah neh amah tea thuidoek uh thae te hmuhming uh pawh.

13 But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.

Mamih tah voei m'pomsang uh ham moenih. Tedae hmakhuen kah a tarhing te Pathen loh a cungnueh neh kaimih taengaha tael vanbangla nangmih taengla n'laikai coeng.

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,

Nangmih taengah ka laikai uh pawt vanbangla kamamih ka hnawn uh thae moenih. Nangmih taeng duela Khrih kah olthangthen nen ni ka pai uh.

15 not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,

Hlanglang rhoek kah thakthaenah dongah voei pomsang uh boeh. Tedae ngaiuepnah khueh uh, nangmih kah tangnah te rhoeng coeng. Baecoihnah dongkah ka hmakhuen bangla nangmih taengla hang aeh coeng.

16 so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.

Nangmih kaha voel la olthangthen phong ham khaw hlanglang kah hmakhuen dongah a sikim la pomsang ham om pawh.

17 But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”

Te dongah aka pomsang long tah Boeipa dongah pomsang saeh.

18 For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

Amah aka oep uh pawt ni ueppang laa om. Tedae anih te Boeipa loh a oep.
