1For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
1I omna leia in pen hisiatin om mahleh, vanah, in, khutta lamlouh, khantawna om ding, pathian akipan in kip inei uh chih i thei ngal ua;
2For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
2Vana kipan i omna ding silhthuah ut mahmahin hiai in ah thum cihtakin i thum gige ngal ua;
3If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
3Huchibanga silhin om leng vuaktangin i omkei ding uhi.
4For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
4Eite hiai ina i om sungin gikpuain thum petmahin i thum ngala, silh loua i ut jiak ahi keia, silhthuaha om i ut jiak ahi jaw, sitheipen tuh hinna valh zoha a om theihna dingin.
5Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
5Huan, huaia mahmah dinga honsutuahpa Pathian ahi, khamna kha honpepa.
6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
6Huchiin, pumpia i om laitengin Toupa kiangah i om kei chih theiin, muangtakin i om gige uhi.
7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
7Mu theia pai louin, ginnain i pai zo jel uhi.
8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
8Muangtakin i om, huan pumpia om loua Toupa kianga om i ut jaw hi.
9Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
9Huaijiakin, omin, om kei leng, amah kipahpih lam mi hih i tum chinten ahi.
10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
10Mi chihin, pumpia thil hihte a sia a phain, i hih bangbanga i muh chiat theihna dingin, Kris thukhenna tutphah maah hihlatin i om vek ding uh ahi.
11Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
11Huchiin, Toupa kihtakna dan theiin mihingte ka zol jel uhi, Pathian kiangah bel latsakin ka om ua, na sia leh pha theihna uah leng latsaka ka om uh ka lamen ahi.
12For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
12Na kiang uah ka kigen hoih nawn uh ahi keia, lungtang lam hi loua, dinmun lam lel suangte, bang ahi hiam dawnna ding na neih theihna ding un kou lamah suan theihna honbawlin ka gen jaw uhi.
13For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
13Ka hai u leh, Pathian adin ahi a; ka pi u leh, noumau adin ahi ngala.
14For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
14Kris itnain honsawl teitei ahi; hichin ka ngaihtuah uh: Mi tengteng sih sikin mi khat a si a, huaijiakin mi tengteng a si uhi;
15And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
15A hingte leng amau adia a hin nonlouh ua, a sih sik ua sia thounawn adinga a hin jawkna ding uh ahi, mi tengteng sih sika a sih.
16Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
16Huchih ahih jiakin tuban kou jaw salamah kuamah ka thei nawngta kei ding uh; sa lamah Kris na theita mahle ung leng; tun jaw ka theita kei uhi.
17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
17Huchih ahih jiakin, kuapeuh Krisa a om leh, thilsiam thak a honghi a; thil luite a mangta a; ngai un, a hongthakta uhi.
18And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
18Himahleh, bangkim Pathian kianga kipana pawt ahi a; aman Kris jiakin amah toh kituakin honbawla, kituahna nasepna a honpia hi;
19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
19Huchiin, Pathianin Kris ah khovel amah toh kituaknawnin a bawla, a tatleknate uh tatleknaa seh sak louin, kituahnawnna thu a honkem sak ahi.
20Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
20Huaijiakin, Kris sika palai ka hi ua, Pathianin koute zangin a hon ngen ahi; Pathian toh kituakta un aw, chiin, Kris sikin ka hon ngen uhi.Amah ah Pathian diktatna i honghih theihna dingin, khelhna himhim theilou amah tuh Pathianin eite jiakin khelhnain a bawl hi.
21For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
21Amah ah Pathian diktatna i honghih theihna dingin, khelhna himhim theilou amah tuh Pathianin eite jiakin khelhnain a bawl hi.
