2 Kawrin 6
1 Amah aka bongyong rhoek loh Pathen kah lungvatnah te a tlongtlai la na doe uh pawt ham kan hloep uh.
We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2 “Uem tue vaengah nang kan hnatung tih khangnah khohnin ah nang kan bom,” a ti ta. Tahae ah la uem tue loel he, tahae ah la khangnah tue loel he.
( For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I helped thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
3 Pakhat neh thuihkoek a khueh pawt dongah bibi khaw cawt boel saeh.
Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
4 Tedae soeprhaep dongkah Pathen kah tueihyoeih rhoek vanbangla, muep uehnah dongah, phacip phabaem dongah, a kueknah dongah, citcai dongah,
But in all things commending ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5 lucik dongah, thongim dongah, soekloeknah dongah, thatlohnah dongah, mikhue dongah, yaehnah dongah,
In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
6 cimcaihnah dongah, mingnah dongah, thinsennah dongah, rhennah dongah, Mueihla Cim dongah, lungnah hmantang dongah,
By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love,
7 oltak olka dongah, Pathen kah thaomnah dongah, banvoei bantang kah duengnah kah pumcumnah dongah,
By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 thangpomnah neh yahpohnah dongah, olthae neh olthen dongah, laithaelaidang neh oltak bangla mamih n'tueng uh.
By honour and dishonour, by bad report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
9 Mangvawt loh mingtung la, Aka duek loh aka hing la, Aka ueih sak rhoek tah aka duek sak pawt la,
As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
10 Ko aka thae puet loh omngaih la, rhep aka khodaeng loh boei la, aka khueh pawt loh boeih aka khueh la ng'omuh.
As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11 Kaimih kah ka ka tah nangmih Kawrin rhoek ham ong uh tih ka thinko khaw dangka uh coeng.
O ye Corinthians, We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open.
12 Kaimih ah na khawk uh moenih. Namamih kah kotak dongah ni na khawk uh.
Ye are not restrained by us, but ye are restrained by your own affections.
13 Dantatnah dongah ca bangla ka thui he nangmih khaw kaa uh laeh.
Now in return for the same, (I speak as to my children, ) open wide your hearts to us.
14 Aka tangnahmueh taengah suihlaih la om uh boeh. Duengnah neh olaeknah he metlam a benbonah, vangnah neh yinnah he metlam a rhoinaengnah.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 Beliar taengah Khrih kah rhoinaengnah balae aka om? Uepom neh aka tangnahmueh te ba buham lae a cut?
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 Pathen kah Bawkim te mueirhol taengah ba olkhueh lae aka om? Mamih tah aka hing Pathen kah bawkim ni. Pathen loh, “Amih khuiah kho ka sak vetih ka hil ka dong ni. Amih kah Pathen la ka om vetih amih khaw ka pilnam la om ni,” a ti.
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Te dongah amih khui lamkah loh cet uh lamtah hoep uh laeh. Boeipa loh, “A thae te na taek uh pawt daengah ni kai loh nangmih kan doe eh?,” a ti.
Therefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 Te vaengah nangmih taengah pa la ka om ni. Nangmih khaw kai kah canu capa la na om uh ni. Boeipa Tloengkhoelh loh a ti coeng.
And I will be a Father to you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
