2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.
Nangcae hoi nawnto oh naah misa ka set moe, nangcae hoi angtla naah misa ka hoih, tiah na poek o ih, Kai, Pawl mah, Kri tuinom hoi poeknaemhaih hoiah kang pacae o:
2 Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.
kai kang zoh naah, long taksa koehhaih baktiah kho ka sak o, tiah poekhaih tawn thoemto kaminawk to misahoihaih hoiah ka thuitaek han, tiah poekhaih ka tawnh; toe nangcae khae kang zoh naah, to baktih misahoihaih hoiah kang zoh han ai ah, tahmenhaih kang hnik o.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh;
Kaicae loe taksa ah ka oh o, toe taksa koehhaih baktiah misa ka tuh o ai:
4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,
(kaicae misatukhaih maiphaw loe taksa maiphaw na ai, Sithaw rang hoiah sipae amtimsak thaih Sithaw thacakhaih to ni maiphaw ah ka patoh o; )
5 throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
to maiphaw patohhaih rang hoiah ni lok angaekhaih, Sithaw panoek thaih han ai ah pakaahaih ah kaom amoekhaih, misong ah oh koehhaih palungthin tawn kaminawk boih mah Kri ih lok to tahngaih o.
6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.
Nangcae ih lok tahngaihaih hoiah na koep o naah, lok tahngai ai kaminawk danpaek hanah kam sak o coek boeh.
7 Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.
Nangcae loe anui aphawn ah amtuenghaih maw na khet o? Mi kawbaktih doeh angmah hoi angmah to Kri ih kami ah ka oh, tiah poek nahaeloe, anih loe Kri ih kami ah oh baktih toengah, kaicae doeh Kri ih kami ah ni ka oh o toeng, tiah angmah hoi angmah poekhaih tawn let raeh nasoe.
8 For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,
Nangcae amro han ih na ai ah, na qoeng o tahang thai hanah, Angraeng mah kaicae han paek ih sakthaihaih to ka zat haih mak ai; kam oek haih aep han:
9 that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
ka tarik ih ca loe nangcae pazihhaih ca baktiah ohsak moeng han ka koeh ai.
10 For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”
Nihcae mah, Pawl ih capatnawk loe hmuen kazit ah oh moe, thacak; toe a takpum loe thacak ai kami ah oh, a thuih ih lok loe avanghaih tidoeh om ai, tiah thuih o.
11 Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
Nangcae hoi nawnto ka oh naah ka sak ih tok loe, nangcae hoi kangthla ah ka oh naah tarik ih ca hoiah lahhaih om mak ai, tito to kaminawk mah panoek o han oh.
12 For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
Nihcae loe angmacae hoi angmacae angtah o moe, maeto hoi maeto angnoek o pongah, nihcae loe palungha ai kami ah oh o; kaicae loe angmah hoi angmah amkoeh kaminawk hoi nawnto kroek hmaek hanih maw, to tih ai boeh loe patah hanih ka koeh o ai.
13 But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
Kaicae loe ka tah o ih hmuennawk pong kamtlai ah kam oek o mak ai, Sithaw mah kaicae han paek ih tahhaih dan baktiah ni kam oek o haih han, nangcae doeh to baktih tahhaih thungah na thum o toeng.
14 For we do not stretch ourselves too much, as though we did not reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,
Nangcae khae khoek to sakthaihaih akaa ka tawn o ai baktih toengah, ka sak o thaih ih hmuennawk pong kamtlai ah ka sah o ai: Kri tamthanglok thuihhaih hoiah ni nangcae khaeah kang zoh o:
15 not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,
kaicae loe tahhaih hmuennawk pong kamtlai ah, minawk toksakhaih thungah kam oek o ai; toe nangcae tanghaih bangah na qoeng o tahang naah loe, ka sak o ih tok to nangcae taengah kaom kaminawk khae khoek to kawk tih, tiah oephaih ka tawnh o,
16 so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
to tiah ni nangcae ohhaih ahmuen laep ah kahoih tamthanglok to ka taphong o thai tih, minawk kalah mah sak pacoeng ih ahmuen thungah amoek han ka koeh o ai.
17 But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
Toe amkoeh kaminawk loe, Angraeng ah amkoeh nasoe.
18 For it is not he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
Angmah hoi angmah amkoeh kami loe tapom han krah ai, Angraeng mah pakoeh ih kami ni tapom han krak.
