2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
Ka mawmawtna tawmvei nong thuak tu uh ka dei hi: hong thuak takpi tavun.
2 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.
Banghangziam cile keima in note sia a thiangtho ngaknu thiangtho bang in Christ tung ah kong piak thei natu in, pasal khat tung ah dokzu kong pia zo hi: tua ahikom Pathian mi ka hi nataw in hong thum khi hi.
3 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.
Ahihang bangbangpo ahizong, ngul in thimthel nataw Eve a theam bang in, Christ sung ah na thinphat na uh te a siatsua tu ka lau hi.
4 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.
Banghangziam cile ka hil ngei ngawl uh a dang Jesus thu a hil te hongpai ahile, ahibale, na san ngei ngawl uh a dang thaa na sang uh ahile, a hibale, na san ngei ngawl uh a dang lungdamna thu na sang uh ahile, tua pa taw na thuak khawm tu uh hi.
5 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
Banghangziam cile keima sia a lianbel sawltak te sang in, ka niam zaw tuan bua hi, ci ka ngaisun hi.
6 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.
Thu ka hil ciang in kamthiam ka hi ngawl hang, heakna lam ah tabang ka hi bua hi; ahihang na theampo sung ah note sung ah ka kilang siat zo uh hi.
7 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?
Note hong lamsang tu in keima le keima ki niamkhiak in ka om a, Pathian lungdamna thupha a thong in kong hil hu in note lutu natu ka seam ziam?
8 I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
Note atu na kasep thei natu in, thaman te la a, pawlpi dang te a suam taw ka kibang zo hi.
9 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.
Note kung ah ka omlai in kisapna khatpo ka nei zong kuama hong ngen ngawl khi hi: banghangziam cile Macedonia ngam pan hongpai suapui te in ka kisapna te hong pia uh hi: taciang note atu vanngit ka hi ngawl natu in na theampo ah keima le keima ka kikeam hi, taciang maisang zong keima le keima ka kikeam lai tu hi.
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
Christ i thutak sia ka sung ah a om bangma in, Achaia ngamsung ah hi ka ki suantakna sia kuama in hong khak thei ngawl tu hi.
11 Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.
Banghangziam? note kong it ngawl hang a hi ziam? Pathian in hong he hi.
12 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 recognized just like us.
Ahihang hunpha a dei te in hunpha a nga thei ngawl natu in ahizong, kote bangma in a ki suantak thei ngawl natu in ahizong, ka nasep ka seam suak lai tu hi.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.
Banghangziam cile tabang te sia a man ngawl sawltak te, leilot naseam tele amate le amate Christ i sawltak te bang in a meal a lai te a hi uh hi.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
Taciang bangma lamdang ngawl hi; banghangziam cile Satan ama cikteak zong a tang vantungmi bang in a meal lai hi.
15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
Tua ahikom Satan naseam te sia thutang suana naseam te bang in a meal uh lai ahile, thu thupi hi ngawl hi; amate tawpna sia amate nasep te bangma hi tu hi.
16 I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
Kong sonkik hi, kuama in a mawmaw in hong ngaisun heak hen; tabang hibale, tawmvei sung keima le keima ka ki suantak thei natu in a mawmaw bang in hong sang phot tavun.
17 That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
Hi ka kampau na sia Topa deina bang in ka pau hi ngawl hi, ahihang a mawmaw bang in, ki muan na taw ka ki suantakna a hihi.
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
Mi tampi cilesa ngeina bang in ki suangtak hi, keima zong ka ki suangtak tu hi.
19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
Banghangziam cile note mipil na hi uh hu in a mawmaw te lungdamtak in na thuak uh hi.
20 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.
Banghangziam cile mihing khat in saltang tu in hong paipui, hong suam, na neisa uh hong sut, ama le ama ki lamsang, na biang uh hong beang le na thuak uh hi.
21 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.
Ka thaneam na uh bang in zawnsakna taw kisai in ka pau a hihi. Ahihang mihing khat in bangthu po ah a hangsan ahile, keima zong ka hangsan hi, ci in a mawmaw bang in ka pau hi.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
Amate sia Hebrew mite ziam? keima zong ka hihi. Amate Israel mite a hi ziam? keima zong ka hihi. Amate Abraham suan te a hi ziam? keima zong ka hihi.
23 Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.
Amate sia Christ naseam te ziam? a mawmaw bang in ka pau hi, keima sia amate sang in ka hi zaw kan lai hi; nasepna sung ah a dimlet a tamzaw in ka seam hi, ki sim zo ngawl sat na, tu le tu thongtak a, tu le tu thina mun ah ka theng hi.
24 Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.
Sawm thum le kua vei sat na Judah te kung pan in nga vei ka thuak hi.
25 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.
Thumvei ciang-uai taw sat na ka thuak hi, khat vei suang tum taw hong deang uh hi, tembaw lal thum vei ka thuak hi, zankhat le ni khat sung tuipi sung ah ka om hi;
26 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 among false brothers;
Tu le tu in khual ka haw hi, tui sung ah lauhuai nate, ngual suam te sung ah lau huai nate, ka ngammi pui te hang in lau huai nate, Pathian he ngawl te hang in lau huai nate, khuapi sung lau huai nate, duisung lauhuai nate, tuipi sung lau huai nate, a thuman ngawl suapuite sung ah lau huai nate;
27 in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
Ngimtak in nasep le haksatna sung ah ahizong, tu le tu mutcim ngawl in ahizong, ngilkial le dangtak in ahizong, khuasik le pumnguak in ahizong, ka om hi.
28 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.
Tabang a puasang nate bek domngawl in, pawlpi theampo deisakna sia nisim in ka tung ah hong theng hi.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’t burn with indignation?
Akua thaneam ziam, taciang keima zong ka thaneam hi ngawl ziam? akua puk ziam, ka thinsung ah mei bang in hong kang hi ngawl ziam?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
Kisuantak a kul tu ahile, ka thaneamna thu te taw kisai in ka ki suangtak tu hi.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed forever more, knows that I don’t lie. (aiōn g165)
Leilot thu son ngawl khi hi, ci sia tawntung poktak i Topa Jesus Christ i Pa le Pathian in hong he hi. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the Damascenes’ city, desiring to arrest me.
Damascus ah kumpi Aretas khut nuai ah ngam uk pa in keima man nuam in Damascus sia ngalkap te in cing hi:
33 I was let down in a basket through a window by the wall, and escaped his hands.
Taciang kul kongpi pan in bawm taw hong khia uh a, ngam uk pa khutsung pan ka suakta hi.
