2 Kawrin 11
1 Kai kah anglatnah te bet na yaknaem uh mai mako, tedae kai nan yaknaem uh gawn.
I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
2 Pathen kah thatlainah vanbangla nangmih ham ka thatlai. Nangmih te tongpa pakhat taengkah oila cuem bangla Khrih taengah nawn ham kan oei.
For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you in marriage to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
3 Ka rhih mai pawt cakhaw, rhul loh amah kah rhaithinah neh Eve a hoilae bangla, nangmih kah poeknah loh moeihoeihnah neh Khrih dongkah cimcaihnah te ham poeih ve ne.
But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 Hlang tloe te aka pawk loh Jesuh a tloe hoe ngawn cakhaw anih te n'hoe uh moenih, na dang uh noek pawh mueihla tloe, na doe uh noek pawh olthangthen a tloe na dang uh akhaw, balh na yaknaem uh ngawn.
For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news” which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough.
5 Te dongah caeltueih rhoek kah buhuenga pom te phavawt pawh ka ti mai.
For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
6 Tedae olka ka lol cakhaw mingnah dongah tah ka lol pawh. Te dongah nangmih kah cungkuem dongah cungkuem la phoe coeng.
But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
7 Tholhnah aka saii bangla ka tlarhoel daengah a nangmih na pomsang uh eh? Pathen kah olthangthen te nangmih hama yoeyap lam ni ka phong.
Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God’s Good News free of charge?
8 Hlangboel rhoek a hloeh la ka rheth tih nangmih kah bibi paang te ka bawt a?
I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
9 Nangmih taengah aka om tih aka vawtthoek pataeng pakhat khaw ka thinrhih sak moenih. Ka vawtthoeknah te Makedonia lamkah aka pawk manuca rhoek long nia doo. Cungkuem dongah kamah khaw nangmih taengah hoengpoek la ka tuem uh vanbangla ka tuem uh pueng ni.
When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
10 Ka khuiah Khrih kah oltak om ta. Te dongah ka khuikah hoemdamnah he tah Akhaia pingpang ah khaw buem uh mahpawh.
As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11 Balae tih, nangmih kan lungnah pawh? Pathen loh a ming ngawn.
Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.
12 Tedae ka saii coeng te tah ka saii pueng ni. Te daengah ni rhoidoengnah aka ngaih rhoek kah rhoidoengnah te ka haih pah pueng eh. Te neh a pomsang uh daengah ni mamih bangla a hmuh uh van eh.
But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity, that in which they boast, they may be recognised just like us.
13 Amih laithae caeltueih rhoek neh khuplat bibikung rhoek loh Khrih kah caeltueih bangla sa uh.
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.
14 Tedae Satan loh amah neh amah vangnah puencawn la a sa uh te ngaihmang ham om pawh.
And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
15 Anih kah tueihyoeih rhoek loh duengnah kah tueihyoeih rhoek bangla sa uh mai cakhaw olpuei moenih. Amih kaha hnukkhueng tah a khoboe vanbangla om bitni.
It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
16 Koep ka thui, pakhat long khaw kai he ang tila poek uh boeh. Te pawt cakhaw aka ang banglam khaw kai n'doe uh mai. Te daengah ni kai loh pakhat lam khaw bet ka pomsang van eh.
I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
17 Ka thui te Boeipa banglam pawt tih anglat vaengkah banglam ni hoemdamnah he ngaikhueknah neh ka thui.
That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
18 A yet loh pumsa neh a pomsang uh dongah ka pomsang van ni.
Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
19 A cueih neh aka om long ni aka ang rhoek te khaw liplip na yaknaem uh.
For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
20 Nangmih te pakhat loh sal m'bi sak akhaw, pakhat loh n'yoop akhaw, pakhat loh han loh akhaw, pakhat loh m'poe akhaw, pakhat loh na maelhmai ah n'thoek akhaw na yaknaem uh coeng.
For you bear with a man if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, or if he strikes you on the face.
21 Kaimih loh ka vawtthoek uh te rhaidaeng la ka ti. Tedae te nen te khat khat long nia ngaingaih mai atah anglat la ka thui te ka ngaingaih mai coeng.
To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
22 Hebrew hlang laa om atah kai khaw ka om van. Israel ca la om uh atah kai khaw ka om van, Abraham kah tiingan la om atah kai khaw ka om van.
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
23 Khrih kah tueihyoeih laa om uh atah Kai loh muep ka angsai puei tih ka thui ngai ta. thakthaenah nen khaw ka tahoeng, thongim khuiah khaw vawptawp, lucik nen khaw nainoe, dueknah nen taitu.
Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labours more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.
24 Judah rhoek lamkah voei nga ka yook tih likip ham pakhat vel a ngaih.
Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.
25 Voei thum m'boh uh. Vai n'dae uh. Sangpho loh voei thum m'poci puei, vuenhlaem tuidung khuiah ka yoka sut.
Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.
26 Yincaehnah khaw ninoe, tuiva kah khoponah, dingca kah khoponah, namtu lamkah khoponah, namtom lamkah khoponah, kho khuikah khoponah, kohong kah khoponah, tuipuei kah khoponah, laithae manuca kah khoponah loh yet.
I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils amongst false brothers;
27 thakthaenah neh patangnah dongah mikhue la ka om taitu. Khokha neh tuihalh dongah yaehnah neh ka om taitu. Khosik khuiah ka kolvang sut.
in labour and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
28 Te bueng kolla hlangboel boeih kah mawntangnah tah hnin takuem ka thinrhihnah laom.
Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.
29 U khaw a tattloel vaengah tah ka tattloel moenih a? U khaw a khah vaengah tah kai n'rhoh moenih a?
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’t burn with indignation?
30 Pomsang hama kuek atah ka vawtthoeknah dongkah te ka pomsang eh.
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
31 Ka laithae pawt te kumhal due uemom la aka om Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh kah a napa loh a ming. (aiōn g165)
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed forever more, knows that I don’t lie. (aiōn g165)
32 Damasku ah kai tuuk ham te manghai Aretas kah khotawt loh Damasaku kho khaw a tawt.
In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the Damascenes’ city, desiring to arrest me.
33 Tedae voeihang neh bangbuet lamloh pangbueng kaep ah n'hlak dongah ni amih kut te ka poeng ka hal.
I was let down in a basket through a window by the wall, and escaped his hands.
