2 Corinthians 6
1 Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain.
Anih hoi nawnto toksah kami ah a oh o baktih toengah, Sithaw tahmenhaih azom pui ah na talawk o han ai ah kang pacae o.
2 For he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you. In a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.
(Talawk thaikoi atue ah lok kang tahngaih pae, pahlonghaih niah kang bomh, tiah Anih mah thuih: khenah, vaihi loe talawkhaih atue ah oh, khenah, vaihi loe pahlonghaih niah oh.)
3 We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,
Ka sak o ih tok to kasae thuih han ai ah, raihaih omsak koi hmuen tidoeh ka sah o ai:
4 but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,
Sithaw toksah kami ah ka oh o baktih toengah hmuen boih ah pauephaih, patangkhanghaih, amtanghaih, poek amrohaih,
5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,
bohhaih, thongkrakhaih, lokpunghaih, karai toksakhaih, iip thai ai ah ohhaih, buhcaa ai ah ohhaihnawk to ka tong o;
6 in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,
toe poekciimhaih, panoekthaihaih, palungsawkhaih, tahmenhaih, Kacai Muithla zaehhoihhaih, loktang amlunghaih,
7 in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
loktang lok taphonghaih, Sithaw thacakhaih hoiah tok ka sak o moe, banqoi bantang toenghaih hmuen to kahni baktiah kang khuk o,
8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report, as deceivers and yet true,
pakoehhaih lok, patoekhaih lok, kasae thuihaih lok hoi kahoih lok thuihaihnawk ka thaih o naah, kaicae loe aling thaih kaminawk baktiah ka oh o, toe loktang lok ni ka thuih o;
9 as unknown and yet well known, as dying and behold—we live, as punished and not killed,
minawk mah panoek ai ih kami baktiah ka oh o, toe ahmin kam thang o; kadueh kami baktiah ka oh o, toe khenah, ka hing o; ang thuitaek o, toe ka dueh o ai;
10 as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
palungsae baktiah ka oh o, toe kang hoe o thaih poe; amtang kami baktiah ka oh o, toe paroeai kaminawk to kang raeng o sak; tidoeh tawn ai kami ah ka oh o, toe hmuen boih ka tawnh o.
11 Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.
Aw Korin kaminawk, nangcae khaeah kamnoek ah lok kang thuih o boeh, nangcae han poekhaih kawk palung khongkha to kang paongh pae o.
12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.
Nangcae han thok ka khaa o ai, toe nangcae mah ni poekhaih palung thok nang khah o thuih.
13 Now in return—I speak as to my children—you also open your hearts.
Nangcae nuiah ka tawnh o ih poekhaih baktih toengah (ka caanawk baktiah ni lok kang thuih o, ) nangcae doeh poekhaih kawk palung to tawn o toeng ah.
14 Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
Katang ai kaminawk hoi anghmong ai hmuen to nawnto phaw o hmah; katoeng kami hoi katoeng ai kami nawnto om thai tih maw? Aanghaih hoi vinghaih nawnto oh thai maw?
15 What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever?
Kri hoi Belial angdaeh thai tih maw? Katang kami hoi katang ai kami doeh kawbangmaw nawnto om thai tih?
16 What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”
Krang bokhaih im hoi Sithaw ih tempul to anghmong maw? Nangcae loe kahing Sithaw ih tempul ah ni na oh o. Sithaw mah, Nihcae thungah Ka oh moe, nihcae salakah kam kaeh han, nihcae ih Sithaw ah Ka oh han, nihcae loe Kai ih kami ah om to tih, tiah thuih.
17 Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.
To pongah nihcae thung hoi tacawt ah loe, kamhoe ah om ah, tiah Angraeng mah thuih. Kaciim ai hmuen to sui o hmah, to tih nahaeloe nangcae to Kang talawk han.
18 I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.”
Nangcae ih Ampa ah Ka oh han, nangcae loe Ka capa hoi canu ah na om o tih, tiah lensawk Angraeng mah thuih.
