2 Kawrin 10

1 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.

Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:

2 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.

But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, with which I think to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

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

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh:

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

( For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; )

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

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

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

And having in a readiness to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

7 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.

Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trusteth to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.

8 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.

For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:

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

That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.

10 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.

For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

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

Let such a person think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.

12 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.

For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

13 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.

But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even to you.

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

For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not to you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:

15 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.

Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,

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

To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.

17 Te dongah aka pomsang long tah Boeipa dongah pomsang saeh.

But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

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

For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
