2 Corinthians 7

1 My friends, whom I love, because [God] has promised [to accept us(inc) as his children], we [(inc)] must stop doing anything that is sinful. We must not do sinful things with our bodies, and we must not [think] sinful thoughts. [Because] we greatly revere God, we must strive to [live] a completely pure life. By doing that we will become the kind of people that he wants us to be.

Ka it te awng, hi kamciam te nei ka hi uhkom in, cilesa le thaa a nin theampo pan in eima le eima i ki thiansua tu a, Pathian zatakna taw thianthona cialcingsak tawng.

2 So, as I just wrote, I want you to love me (OR, us [IDM] [who are true apostles of Christ]). I/we [(exc)] have never done anything wrong to any of you. I/we have not done anything to harm any one of you spiritually or financially. And I/we have not tried to get money from [you] (for myself/for ourselves).

Hong sang tavun; kote in kuama tung ah khial ngawl khu hi, kuama zong siatsua ngawl khu hi, kuama zong theam ngawl khu hi.

3 [It is true that some people among you have said that I have done such things. Nevertheless], I am not trying to make you all feel ashamed because, as I wrote before, I will continue to love you all very much [IDM], whether I live with you or die with you. I am very confident about you.

Note mawsiat tu in ka pau hi ngawl hi: banghangziam cile ka thinsung uh sia note taw thi khawm tule nungta khawm tu, ci in kong son zo hi.

4 I am very pleased with you. You have greatly encouraged me, so that I am now very joyful in spite of all the hardships that I have endured.

Note tung ah kong pau ciang in ka hangsan hi, note hang in nasiatak in ka ki suangtak hi: henepna taw ka kidim hi, ka haksatna theampo sung ah a tuan in ka lungdam hi.

5 Now [I will write more about what I was saying about Titus]. When I [left Troas and] came [here to] Macedonia [province], I still did not get any rest. Everywhere we [(exc)] went, [people were constantly] causing us trouble. [And not only were] people [constantly causing us] trouble, but I was greatly concerned [about you all].

Banghangziam cile Macedonia ka thet uh ciang in, ka pumpi uh tawlngak hun nei ngawl hi, mun theampo pan in hong nawngkaisak hi; a puasang ah kihauna om a, a sungsang ah launa te om hi.

6 But God, who always encourages his people when they are discouraged, encouraged us by [sending] Titus back to us.

Ahihang a nuaisang ah a ki khia te heneampa Pathian in, Titus hong thet na tungtawn in hong heneam hi;

7 I was encouraged by [seeing] Titus, [but when I heard how] you had encouraged him, that encouraged me even more. He told me how much you wanted [to see me. He told me] that you were very sorry [that you had made me so unhappy. He also told me] that you are very eager for me [to continue to serve as your apostle. When Titus told me those things], I was very, very happy.

Taciang Titus hong thet na tungtawn bek hi ngawl in, ama sia note kung pan henepna a nga na hang in zong henepna ka nga uh hi, ama in nong phaw na uh thu, na kaa na tau na uh thu le deisakna thu te hong son ciang in, ka lungdam seseam hi.

8 Even though what [I wrote] in my letter (distressed you/made you sad), I am not sorry [that I wrote it]. For a while I was sorry that I had written it, [because I knew that it would distress you]. Now [Titus has also told] me that it did distress you [when you read it], but you were distressed only for a short time.

Banghangziam cile kong laithak taw note kong khuangaisak a, kisik phot hi kaleng, ka kisik bua kik hi: banghangziam cile tua lai in note hong khuangaisak napi, tawmvei sung bek hi, ci ka he hi.

9 [So now] I am happy [that I wrote it]. I am not happy that you were distressed {that [I] distressed you}, but [I am happy] because, when you became distressed, you felt sorry for what you had done and [you asked God to forgive you. What I mean is that you felt sorry in the way that God wanted you to feel sorry, so my making] you feel sorry did not harm you at all.

Tu in ka lungdam hi, note kong khuangaisak hang hi ngawl in, note i khuangaina pan ki sikkikna na nei uh hang hi zaw hi: banghangziam cile kote hang in bangma supna na nei ngawl natu uh in Pathian mi hi na bang in khuangaisak te na hi uh hi.

10 [The fact is that] when God causes [us to feel] truly sorry for having sinned and we turn from our sinful behavior, then God saves us [and will not punish us for the sinful things that we have done]. And no one is ever sorry about that. [However], the people who do not trust [in God] [MTY] may be sorry [for the sinful things that they have done]. But [if they do not turn from their sinful behavior and ask God to forgive them], they will remain separated from him forever.

Banghangziam cile Pathian mi hi na bang in hena pan ngupna atu maw kisikikna suaksak a, tua thu ki sikkik natu om ngawl hi: ahihang leitung khuangaina in thina piangsak hi.

11 But [think about what happened when you read my letter]: God caused you to be truly sorry [for what you had done]. You eagerly [wanted to do what was right], and you wanted to show [God] (OR, [me]) that you had done the right thing. You were angry [about what had happened], and you were worried [that God would punish you if the situation continued]. You also wanted me [to visit you to encourage and help you]. You wanted me to know [that you really do accept me as your apostle, and that you punished the man who had sinned, as I told you to do. By doing] all of those things, you have shown [me] that you have done what is right in this matter.

Banghangziam cile hi Pathian mi hi na bang in na khuangaina uh in note sung ah kidopna, ki thianthosakna, thalawpna, thukkikna te piangsak hi, ci sia en vun! Na theampo sung ah noma le noma hi thu taw kisai in tetti na pang zo uh hi.

12 So, even though I wrote that [severe] letter to you, I did not [write it just] so that [you would punish] the man who had done what was wrong. Also, I [did not write it] for the benefit of the person whom [he] had wronged. Instead, [I wrote it] so that, when you [read the letter], God would enable you to realize how much you really do respect [my authority].

Tua ahikom note kung ah lai hong at ka hihang, a man ngawl a vawt te hang hi ngawl hi, taciang a man ngawl in a thuak te hang zong hi ngawl hi, ahihang Pathian mai ah note kong thinbot na uh note tung ah a kilang thei natu hi zaw hi.

13 So, [because you listened to me and did what I asked you to do], (I was/we [(exc)] were all) encouraged. Not only (was I/were we) encouraged, but (I was/we [(exc)] were) [also] very happy to see how happy Titus was [when he arrived here. He told me/us that] he did not need to worry any more, because [he saw] that you all [had a good attitude toward me].

Tua ahikom henepna sung ah kote zong henep na ka nga uh hi: taciang Titus lungdamna hang in a tuan in ka lung uh dam seseam hi, banghangziam cile Titus i thaa sia note tungtawn in thathak dim kik hi.

14 I had told Titus that I was pleased about you. And I did not need to be ashamed [for feeling that way about you, because you did what I knew that you would do]. Just like everything that I have taught you [and written to you] has been the truth, the good things that I told Titus about you were also true.

Banghangziam cile Titus kung ah note i thu ki suangtak tu nei ka hile, kamai a zum bua hi; note tung ah kong son uh theampo sia thuman a hihi, Titus mai ah ka ki suantakna zong thuman a hihi, ci kilang hi.

15 Now he happily remembers how you all [were willing to] do [what I asked you to do]. He is [also happy about the way you] treated him with great respect. [When he thinks about those things], [it makes] him love you even more [than he did when he was with you].

Note in Titus sia lau le liing in na sang uh a, na vekpi uh in a thu na zui uh a phawkik ciang in, ama sungsang pan note hong itna dimlet seseam hi.

16 [As for me], I am very happy [because now] I am certain that I can depend on you [to do what you know God wants you to do].

Na theampo ah note muan ngamna ka nei hu in ka lungdam hi.
