2 Korin 7

1 Palung ih ampuinawk, hae lokkamhaih a tawnh o pongah, taksa hoi poek ciim ai hmuennawk boih to ciimcai o sak si loe, Sithaw zithaih hoiah ciimcaihaih bangah akoep o si.

Dear friends, since we have these promises, we should wash ourselves clean from all that makes both body and spirit dirty, aiming for complete holiness out of reverence for God.

2 Kaicae han poekhaih palung to paong oh; kaicae loe mi kawbaktih kami nuiah doeh sethaih ka sah o ai, mi kawbaktih doeh kam ro o sak ai, mi kawbaktih doeh ka ling o ai.

Please accept us as your friends! We haven't done anyone wrong, we haven't corrupted anyone, and we haven't taken advantage of anyone.

3 Nangcae lokcaek hanah hae lok hae ka thui ai: nangcae hoi nawnto hing moe, nawnto duek han khoek to kang palung o, tiah kang thuih o boeh.

I'm not saying this to condemn you—as I already told you, you mean so much to us that we live and die together with you!

4 Nangcae nuiah paroeai amoekhaih ka tawnh, nangcae nuiah paroeai amoekhaih ka tawnh pongah, monghaih hoiah ka koi, congca raihaih ka tongh o naah doeh, paroeai anghoehaih ka tawnh.

I speak up very strongly for you because I am so proud of you. You are such an encouragement to me. I am so happy for you despite all our troubles.

5 Macedonia prae ah kang zoh o naah, kaicae takpum anghakhaih om ai, ahmuen kruekah raihaih ka tong o; tasa bangah misa angtukhaih oh moe, palung thungah zithaih to oh.

When we arrived in Macedonia we didn't have a minute's peace. We were attacked from every direction, with external conflicts and inner fears.

6 Toe Titu angzohhaih rang hoiah, palungboeng kaminawk monghaih paekkung Sithaw mah monghaih to ang paek.

Even so, God who encourages the downhearted, encouraged us with Titus' arrival.

7 Titu angzoh pongah oephaih ka tawn o khue ai ah, anih na bomh o haih, kai hnuk han na koeh o haih, kai palung nang set o haih hoi kai nang mawn o haih loknawk to anih mah ang thuih pongah, anghoehaih ka tawnh aep.

Not just by his arrival, but also by the encouragement you gave him. He told us how you were longing to see me, how sorry you were, and how concerned you were about me, which made me even happier.

8 Ka capat mah nangcae palungsaesak doeh om tih, hmaloe ah loe dawnpakhuemhaih ka tawnh; toe vaihi loe dawnpakhuemhaih ka tawn ai boeh: nawnetta thung capat mah nangcae palung ang set o sak, tiah ka panoek.

Even though I made you sorry by the letter I wrote, I don't regret it—though I did regret it because the letter did hurt you, but just for a while.

9 Palung kang set o sak pongah, anghoehaih ka tawnh tih haih ih na ai ni, toe dawnpakhuemhaih tawnh thai hanah palung na set o pongah ni kang hoe: ka sak o ih hmuen mah nangcae ih atho to zoksak han ai ah, Sithaw koehhaih baktiah ni palung kang set o sak.

I'm happy now, not for hurting you, but because this pain led you to change your minds. You were made sorry in a way God would want, and so weren't harmed by us in any way.

10 Sithaw bangah palungsethaih mah loe dawnpakhuem rumram ih na ai ah, amkhrai thai ai pahlonghaih omsak, tangtang dawnpakhuemhaih to tacawtsak; toe long bang ih palungsethaih mah loe duekhaih to oh sak.

The kind of sorrow God wants us to have makes us change our minds and brings salvation. This kind of sorrow leaves no sense of regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

11 Sithaw bang ih palungsethaih mah loe, kawbaktih nangcae zaehaih maw ohsak, ue, kawbaktih palungphuihaih maw ciimsak, ue, kawbaktih zithaih, ue, kawbaktih sak koehhaih, ue, kawbaktih tha pathokhaih, ue, kawbaktih lokcaekhaih maw ohsak, tito khen oh! Nangcae loe hae hmuennawk boih ah zaehaih na tawn o ai, tito amtueng boeh.

See what happened to you when you had this very same experience of sorrow that God wants. Remember how enthusiastic you became, how keen you were to defend yourselves, how angry you were at what had happened, how seriously you took it, how you longed to do right, how concerned you were, how you wanted justice to be done. In all of this you showed that you were sincere in wanting to make things right.

12 To pongah, nangcae khaeah ca ka tarik naah, sakpazaehaih tawn kami hoi zaehaih sah kami to khet moe, tarik ih na ai ni, Sithaw hmaa ah nangcae kang khetzawnhaih amtueng thai han ih ni ka tarik.

So when I wrote to you, I wasn't writing about who did the wrong or who was wronged, but to show you how devoted you are to us in God's sight.

13 To pongah nangcae monghaih rang hoiah kaicae doeh monghaih ka tawnh o toeng: ue, anih mawnhaih tawnh han ai ah tha na paek o pongah, Titu anghoehaih mah kaicae anghoehaih oh sak aep.

We are so encouraged by this. Added to our own encouragement, we were so pleased to see how happy Titus was, because you set his mind at rest.

14 Anih khaeah nangcae amoekhaih lok ka thuih cadoeh, ka zat ai; hmuennawk boih ah loktang lok kang thuih o pongah, Titu khaeah ka thuih ih nangcae amoek haih lok doeh tangtang ni, tiah amtueng.

I boasted to him about you, and you didn't let me down. Just as all I've told you is true, my boasting about you to Titus has proved to be true too!

15 Anih to na talawk o moe, tasoehhaih hoi zithaih hoiah anih ih lok to na tahngaih pae o, tiah Titu mah panoek naah, nangcae nuiah a tawnh ih anih amlunghaih to sang aep aep.

Titus cares for you even more as he remembers how you did what he told you, how you welcomed him with great respect.

16 Hmuennawk boih ah nangcae nuiah oephaih ka tawnh pongah, anghoehaih hoiah ka oh boeh.

I am so happy that I can be completely confident of you.
