2 Korin 12
1 Amoek hae kai han atho om ai, toe Angraeng mah ang patuek ih hmuen hoi amtuengsak ih hmuennawk to kam oek haih han vop.
It is indeed not expedient for me to boast; I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Kalaem tangcae saning hatlai palito naah Kri ah kaom kami maeto ka panoek, (taksa ah maw, ka thui thai ai; taksa ai ah maw, ka thui thai ai: Sithaw mah panoek; ) to kami to van asom thumto haih ah lak tahang.
I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, —whether in the body, I know not, or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth, —such a one caught up even to the third heaven.
3 To kami maeto to ka panoek, (taksa ah maw, to tih ai boeh loe taksa ai ah, ka thui thai ai: Sithaw mah panoek; )
And I know such a man, whether in the body, or without the body, I know not; God knoweth, —
4 anih loe paradise ah lak tahang moe, lok hoiah thuilaek ai, kami mah thuih koi ai loknawk to a thaih.
that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5 To baktih kami maeto to kam oek haih han: ka thazokhaih khue ai ah loe, kaimah hoi kaimah loe kam oek haih mak ai.
Of such a one I will boast; but of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.
6 Amoek han ka koeh aep to mah, kamthu ah ka om mak ai; loktang ni ka thuih han. Toe kami mah kai to hnuk moe, kai khae hoi a thaih ih tamthang pong kamthlai ah a poek moeng han ai ah, thui ai ah ka oh.
For if I should desire to boast, I should not be a fool; for I should say the truth; but I forbear, lest any one should think of me above what he seeth me to be, or what he heareth from me.
7 Thuilaek ai amtuenghaih ka hnuk pongah, ka sakthaihaih pong kamthlai ah kam oek moeng han ai ah, kai pacaekthlaek hanah Setan ih laicaeh maeto ah kaom, soekhring to ka taksa thungah ang suek pae.
And that I might not be too much lifted up by the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to buffet me, that I might not be too much lifted up.
8 Hae baktih karai hmuen ang takhoe pae ving hanah, Angraeng khaeah vai thumto tahmenhaih ka hnik.
In respect to this I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me;
9 Toe Anih mah kai khaeah, Ka tahmenhaih loe nang hanah khawt: thazok naah ni ka thacakhaih hoiah akoep, tiah ang naa. Kri thacakhaih ka nuiah oh thai hanah, ka thazokhaih to ni kam oek haih han.
and he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the strength of Christ may abide upon me.
10 To pongah Kri hanah loe thazokhaih, kasae thuihaih, amtanghaih, pacaekthlaekhaih hoi karai tonghaihnawk to ka koeh: tha ka zok naah, thacakhaih hoiah ka koi.
Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then am I strong.
11 Kai loe kamthu maeto baktiah kam oek boeh; toe nangcae mah ni to tiah nang oh o sak. Kai hae nang pakoeh o han oh; kai loe tidoeh na ai ni, toe patoeh ih kalen koek kami pongah ka hnaem kue ai.
I have become a fool; it is ye that compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the very foremost apostles, though I am nothing.
12 Nangcae khaeah ka oh naah, palungsawkhaih hoiah ni ka oh, angmathaih hmuennawk, dawnrai koi kaom hmuennawk to patoeh ih kami maeto mah anghmang kaom thacakhaih hoiah nangcae salakah kamnoek ah amtuengsak boeh.
Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you with all endurance, by signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
13 Nangcae han hmuenzit ah ka om ai tiah thuih ih lok thui ai ah loe, kawbaktih hmuen pongah maw kalah kricaabunawk pongah na hnaem o kuehaih oh? To tiah ka sakpazaehaih to na tahmen oh.
For what is there in which ye were at disadvantage when compared with other churches, except that I myself was not a charge to you? Forgive me this wrong.
14 Khenah, nangcae khaeah vai thumto haih paqai hanah kam sak; toe nangcae raihaih kang paek mak ai: na tawnh o ih hmuenmae to ka pakrong ai, nangmacae to ni ka pakrong. Nawktanawk mah amno hoi ampa hanah hmuenmae patung pae ai, amno hoi ampa mah ni nawktanawk hanah hmuenmae patung pae.
Behold, I am ready to come to you this third time, and I will not be a charge to you; for I seek not yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15 Kai nang palung o ai cadoeh, kai mah kang palung o parai pongah, kaimah hoi ka tawnh ih hmuennawk boih hae nangcae hinghaih pakhra hanah anghoehaih hoi ka patoh han.
And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more I love you, the less I am loved.
16 To tiah sak naah doeh, raihaih kang paek o ai: toe thoemto kaminawk mah loe anih mah ang ling, palunghahaih hoiah kaicae ang ling, tiah a thuih o.
But be it so; I at least was not a charge to you; but yet, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
17 Nangcae khaeah ka patoeh ih kaminawk mah ang ling o maw?
Did I make gain of you by any of those whom I have sent to you?
18 Titu to ka pacae moe, nawkamya maeto hoiah nawnto anih to kang patoeh. Titu mah hmuenmae ang lak pae o maw? Kaicae loe poek anghmonghaih hoiah tok ka sah o ai maw? Kanghmong loklam to ka pazui o ai maw?
I urged Titus to go to you, and with him I sent the brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps?
19 To pacoeng bae ah, kaicae loe kaimacae pakahaih lok ni ka thuih o, tiah na poek o maw? Kri ah ka oh o baktih toengah, Sithaw hmaa ah ni lok ka thuih o: toe nawkamyanawk, nangcae qoeng thaih han ih ni, hmuennawk boih hae ka sak o.
Have ye been thinking this long time that we are defending ourselves to you? It is before God in Christ that we are speaking; but all things, beloved, for your edification.
20 Nangcae khae kang zoh naah, ka hnuk koeh ih hmuen to ka hnu mak ai, nangcae mah doeh kai khae hoi hnuk han koeh ih hmuen to na hnu o mak ai ah, lok angaekhaih, uthaih, palungphuihaih, angzoehhaih, kasaethuihaih, pronghaih, amoekhaih hoi lokpunghaihnawk to om lat moeng tih, tiah zithaih ka tawnh:
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and lest I too shall be found by you such as ye would not; lest there be wranglings, envying, wraths, rivalries, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;
21 nangcae khae kang zoh let naah, nangcae salakah kaom paroeai kaminawk loe a sak o ih zaehaihnawk to caeh o taak ai moe, ciimcai ai hmuen, tamquta hoi nongpa nongpata zae sakhaih, taksa koehhaih baktiah a sak o ih zaehaihnawk to dawnpakhuem o ai ah, vaihi khoek to a sak o vop pongah, ka Sithaw mah nangcae hma ah azathaih na tongsak ueloe, palung kasae moeng tih.
and lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many of those who have sinned already, and did not repent of the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, which they committed.
