1It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
1Ka kiuangsak himhim ding ahi. Ka metna ding jaw om het keia, himehleh Toupa kianga kipan kilakna leh theihsakna thu ka gen zom mai deh.
2I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
2Krisa mi khat ka thei; huai mi mah tuh kum sawm leh kum li a hita (pumpiin hia a om ka theikei, pumpi louin hia a om ka thei sam kei: Pathianin a thei) van thumna hialah lak touhin a oma.
3And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
3Huan, huai mi mahmah (pumpiin hia a om, pumpi louin hia ka theikei; Pathianin a thei; )
4How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
4Paradisa lak touha a om dan, thugen vual louh, mihing gensiang loute a ja chih ka thei.
5Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
5Mi huchibang a hihleh ka suang ding; himahleh, ka hatlouhna lou jaw keimah ka kisuang kei ding.
6For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
6Suan ut mahleng mi hai ka hi kei ding, thu taktak ka gen dek ngala; himahleh ka kidek ding, huchilou injaw kuapeuhin honmuh bang uleh ka laka thu a jak bang sang un honngai thupi zo kha ding hi.
7And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
7Huan, theihsaknate a thupi mahmah jiaka ka kingaihlet luat louhna dingin saa ling honpia ahi, Setan sawltak, khutthak nuhna dia honzang ding ngei tuh; huchilouin jaw ka kingailian kha ding hi.
8For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
8Huai thil tungtang thuah hon awngsut theihna dingin Toupa thumvei ka ngena.
9And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
9Huan, aman ka kiangah, Ka hehpihna nang din a hun hi, ka thilhihtheihna hat louhnaah ahi hihkima a om a chi a. Huchiin, Kris thilhihtheihna ka tunga a om theihna dingin kipak takin ka hatlouhna te ka suang zo ding hi.
10Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
10Huaijiakin, Kris jiaka hatlouhna ah, liamna ah, taksapna ah, sawina ah, lungngaihna ah ka kipak jel ahi; ka hatlouh peuhpeuhin ahi ka hat jawk.
11I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
11Hai ka nahita: nou hai lou theilou in non bawl ua ahi: kei pen noumau honpahtawi ding kei ve, bangmah hi kei mahleng, banglam peuhah leng sawltak lianpente ka pha lou kei ngala.
12Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
12Sawltak hih chiamtehnate kuhkalna chiteng toh chiamtehnate, thillamdangte, thilhihtheihnate-in na lak ua hih ahi taktak ve.
13For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
13Bang lamah ahia, saptuam pawl dangte sanga niam jawa bawla na omna uh? keimah ngeingeiin kon hihbuai louhna lam thu ah a hih kei ngalleh. Huai diklouhna ah honngaidam un.
14Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your's but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
14Ngai un, hiai na kiang ua hong dinga ka man a thum veina ding ahi; huan, kon hihbuai kei ding, nou-a zong ka hi ngal keia, noumau honzong ka hi jaw; taten nu leh pate dingin a kholkhawm sak ding uh ahi keia, nu leh pate dingin a kholkhawm sak jaw ding uh ahi ngala.
15And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
15Huan, ken jaw na kha ua dinga kipak takin ka zang bei dinga, ka kizangbei vek lai ding hi. Akan avala nou kon it jiakin, ken itna tawmjaw muhna-in ka nei ahi maw?
16But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
16Ahihhangin, keimahmahin honhihbuai lou hita leng, ka lepciah a zekhemna-in kon man, na sa uh ahi dinge.
17Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
17Na kiang ua ka sawlte lakah kuahiam bek zangin nou kon hamphatpih ahia?
18I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
18Tita ka hasuana, amah toh unaupa ka sawl ahi. Tita-in nou a honhamphatpih himhim hia? Kha kibanga gamta khawm ka hi kei ua hia? Khap kibanga pai ka hi kei ua hia?
19Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
19Tusung tenga noumau kianga kou leh kou kiphalam non sa ua, Kris ah Pathian mitmuhin ahi thu ka gen uh. Himahleh, deihtakte aw, bnagkim noumau bawl hoihna ding ahi hi.
20For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
20Ka hong chiangin bangchihiama ka ut banga kon muh kei leh kei deih bangin non mu kei kha ding uh, chih leh, banchihiamin kitainate, kihazatnate, hehnate, kilangkhennate, kigennate, kihuaukhumnate, kingaihlet luatnate, buainate a hongom kha ding,Chih leh ka hong chiangin ka Pathianin na lak uah honhihzahlak nawnin, tualama thil hihkhialte laka thil sianglou hihte, kingaihte, hukte chinga kisik tuanlo mi tampite ka kah kha ding e, chih, lau kei ve.
21And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
21Chih leh ka hong chiangin ka Pathianin na lak uah honhihzahlak nawnin, tualama thil hihkhialte laka thil sianglou hihte, kingaihte, hukte chinga kisik tuanlo mi tampite ka kah kha ding e, chih, lau kei ve.
