2 Korinth 10
1 Keima, Paul, nin kôm ko om lâihan nin chunga innuoitak le dâiriema omin, aniatachu nin kôm ko omloi lechu nin chunga lumraka om ngâipu an ti hin. Khrista nunnêmna le lungkhamnân misangin nangni ke ngên.
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 Nin kôm ku juong zorân rammuol mingei mulungbôkngei anga sinthoa mi bê ngei chunga chu ku lumrak ngêt rang khomin; nangni nin chunga chu lumrak loi rangin ni namnôl loi rangin nangni ke ngên ani.
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 Mahi adik rammuola lêng chu kin ni, aninâka rammuol mingei mulungbôkngei angin chu doi mak meh.
For, though we live an earthly life, we do not wage an earthly war.
4 Indoina râlrovongei kin mang ngei hi chu rammuol râlrovongei hih nimaka, aniatachu Pathien râlrovongei ranakrâttak ngei kêng ani, maha kulpuidetngei sietminmangna rangin kin mang ngâi ani. Inkhalna dikloingei kin minheka;
The weapons for our warfare are not earthly, but, under God, are powerful enough to pull down strongholds.
5 Pathien rietna khâr ranga inpâkna lamchâingei murdi hah kin seta, mindonna murdi sûrmintangna renga tuongin Khrista chong kin min jôm ngâi ani.
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 Male iemom tatak nin ni minthârna nin dôn suole chu, iemomloingei dûkmintong rangin inthok kelen kin tih.
and are fully prepared to punish every act of rebellion, when once your submission is complete.
7 Nangnin neinunngei hi pêntienga ânlang vai kêng nin en ngâia. Mahan tumakhatin amapa mo, amanu mo Khrista mîn ânbê an om mini? Asa, an omin chu an thethenin an chungroi mindon nôk rese ngei, anni ngei an tho angtakin keini khom Khrista ta kin ni sikin.
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 Nangni setna rang niloia, nangni sinmindingna ranga Pumapa'n rachamneina mi pêk hih insongpui ok khom ronga inzak ma-ung.
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 Ke lekhamuthuonngei hin nangni misih anga ânlang rang chu pût mu-ung.
I say this, that it may not seem as if I were trying to overawe you by my letters.
10 Tumakhatin, “Paul lekhamuthuonngei hi chu ana le ânngar ani, aniatachu ei kôm a omin chu ânzala, a chongngei khom ite nimak!” tîng an tih.
For people say “His letters are impressive and vigorous, but his personal appearance is insignificant and his speaking contemptible.”
11 Ma anga mingei han mun danga kin oma kin lekhamuthuonngei leh nin kôm kin oma kin sintho rang hah ateina reng om mak, tiin an rietthei ngêt rang ani.
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 Adikin chu anni le anninanâk ânpâka ânsâng oka ânbê ngei lâia han intelin anni leh intêk ngam mak me. Idôra amo mo an ni! Anninanâk an inkhina rang leh an injêkna rangin balamngei an sinna!
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 Nikhomrese, keini rangin chu, kin insongna hah tentanangei khêl no nia; Pathien'n sintho ranga tentanangei mi dar pe sûnga han ani ngâi, male nin lâia kin sintho khom hih ahuom sa.
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 Male ma tentanangei sûnga om nin ni sikin Khrista Thurchi Sa chôia nin kôm kin juong lâihan khom tentanangei pêna chu se mak me.
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 Masikin Pathien'n tentanangei mi dar pe pêna chu midangngei an sin hah song mak me. Manêkin, nin taksônna hah hônsôn a ta, male Pathien'n tentanangei mi dar pe sûnga chu zoratin nin lâia sinthona lien uol ok tho thei kin tih, tiin kin sabei ani.
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 Hanchu Thurchi Sa hih nin kôm pêna ram dangngeia khom misîr thei kin ta, mun danga mîn sin an lei tho sai hah song noni ung.
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 Aniatachu Pathien lekhabu'n ati anghan, “Tukhom a song nuom kaiin chu Pumapa sintho hih song rese ngei.”
‘Let him who boasts make his boast of the Lord.’
18 Eini nanâkin asa kin ni tiin ei mindonin chu pomna chang ngâi mak mea, Pumapa'n asa tiin mi mindon pe tika kêng pomna ei chang tatak ngâi ani.
For it is not the man who commends himself that stands the test, but the man who is commended by the Lord.
