2 Kawrin 7

1 Thintlo rhoek aw olkhueh he om tangloeng ta, pumsa neh mueihla kaha tihnai boeih lamloh mah neh mah cilpoe uh sih. Pathen rhihnah dongah cimcaihnah te soep sak uh sih.

Because God, then, will give us such rewards, dear brothers, let us make ourselves clean from all evil of flesh and spirit, and become completely holy in the fear of God.

2 Kaimih ham ana hoep uh. Kaimih loh ka thae sak uh moenih, ka poeih uh moenih, ka omtoem uh moenih.

Let your hearts be open to us: we have done no man wrong, no man has been damaged by us, we have made no profit out of any man,

3 Laipupnah ham khaw ka thui moenih. Kaimih thinko kah te ni ka thui. Te daengah ni aka duek hmaih neh aka hing hmaih la na om uh eh.

It is not with the purpose of judging you that I say this: for I have said before that you are in our hearts for life and death together.

4 Nangmih taengah muep ka sayalh. Nangmih yueng la hoemdamnah muep ka khueh. Thaphohnah te ka hah. Kaimih kah phacip phabaem boeih ah omngaihnah neh ka baesawt.

My words to you are without fear, I am full of pride on account of you: I have great comfort and joy in all our troubles.

5 Makedonia la ka pawk uh tih kaimih pumsa loh a hilhoemnah khueh pawh. Tedae rhoepsaep dongkah poeng lamkah rhalthohnah neh a khuikah rhihnah loh m'phaep uh.

For even when we had come into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; there were fightings outside and fears inside.

6 Tedae tlayae rhoek aka hloep Pathen loh Titu kah ha lonah neh mamih n'hloep coeng.

But God who gives comfort to the poor in spirit gave us comfort by the coming of Titus;

7 A lonah bueng nen pawt tih thaphohnah nen te khaw nangmih n'hloep thil coeng. Nangmih te mueihuenah, nguekcoinah, kai soah nangmih kah kohlopnah te kaimih taengla ha puen dongah muep ka omngaih bal.

And not by his coming only, but by the comfort which he had in you, while he gave us word of your desire, your sorrow, your care for me; so that I was still more glad.

8 Capat neh nangmih kang kothet sak mai cakhaw ka yut pawh. Ka yut mai cakhaw tekah capat loh khonoek pakhat bueng ni nangmih te ng'kothet sak eh tila ka hmuh.

For though my letter gave you pain, I have no regret for it now, though I had before; for I see that the letter gave you pain, but only for a time.

9 Na kothet uh dongah pawt tih yutnah ham na kothet uh dongah ka omngaih coeng. Pathen kongaih la na kothet uh dongah kaimih rhangneh na sungdaeh mahpawh.

Now I am glad, not that you had sorrow, but that your sorrow was the cause of a change of heart; for yours was a holy sorrow so that you might undergo no loss by us in anything.

10 Pathen kongaih la kothaenah loh khangnah ham yutnah te khangmai laa saii. Tedae Diklai kah kothaenah loh dueknah a thoeng sak.

For the sorrow which God gives is the cause of salvation through a change of heart, in which there is no reason for grief: but the sorrow of the world is a cause of death.

11 Amah te long ni Pathen kongaih la khothet sak ham nangmih ah thahluenah, olthungnah, yakdamnah, rhihnah, mueihuenah, kohlopnah, kutthungnah metlam a thoeng sak te. A cungkuem dongah namah neh namah te oep uh lamtah bitat dongah a cuem la om uh.

For you see what care was produced in you by this very sorrow of yours before God, what clearing of yourselves, what wrath against sin, what fear, what desire, what serious purpose, what punishment. In everything you have made it clear that you are free from sin in this business.

12 Te dongah nangmih taengah kan daek van atah thaesai rhoek kongah moenih. Thaesai rhoek kongah moenih. Tedae kaimih ham na thahluenah dongah nangmih te Pathen hmaiah phoe sak ham dongah ni.

So though I sent you a letter, it was not only because of the man who did the wrong, or because of him to whom the wrong was done, but so that your true care for us might be made clear in the eyes of God.

13 Te dongah ka ngaimong uh. Tedae kaimih kah thaphohnah voelah Titu kah omngaihnah dongah muep ka omngaih uh ngai. Nangmih boeih rhangneh a mueihla tah caih coeng.

So we have been comforted: and we had the greater joy in our comfort because of the joy of Titus, for his spirit had been made glad by you all.

14 Anih te nangmih soah bet ka pomsang akhaw yah ka poh moenih. Tedae nangmih taengah oltak la boeih ka thui uh. Te dongah kaimih kah hoemdamnah loh Titu te a thuem la a tueng sak.

For I was not put to shame in anything in which I may have made clear to him my pride in you; but as we said nothing to you but what was true, so the good things which I said to Titus about you were seen by him to be true.

15 A kotak tah nangmih ham muep om. Anih te rhihnah, thuennah neh na doe uh dongah nangmih pum kah olngainah khaw a thoelh.

And his love to you is the more increased by his memory of you all, how you gave way to his authority, and how you took him to your hearts with fear and honour.

16 Rhoepsaep dongah nangmih rhangneh ka sayalh te ka omngaih.

It gives me great joy to see you answering to my good opinion of you in every way.
