¹Would that ye could bear with me in a little foolishness: but indeed ye do bear with me.

¹ka hai deuhna ah nouten non thuaktheih uh ut hi nange: A hi, thuak leng non thuakthei ua.

²For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I espoused you to one husband, that I might present you [as] a pure virgin to Christ.

²Pathian hawmthohnaa, thikthuse khopin ahi nou kon hawmthoh; Kris kianga nungaksiangthou banga ka honpiak theihna dingin, pasal khat kon hawisak ngala.

³But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ.

³Himahleh, gulin a zuau pila Evi a khem bangin, Kris lama takna leh siangthouna akipan bangchi hiamin na lungsim uh a hihse kha ding uhi, chih ka lauthawng ahi.

⁴For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or [if] ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different gospel, which ye did not accept, ye do well to bear with [him].

⁴Khattei hongpaia Jesu dang, a thu ka gen ngei louh uh, a gena, kha lamdang na muh ngei louh uleh, tanchin hoih lamdang na san ngei louh uh, na san un tuh, kipe baih lua na himah kei ding uhia.

⁵For I reckon that I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.

⁵Hiai sawltak lianpente tuh banglampeuh ah leng phak louh ka kigingta kei hi.

⁶But though [I be] rude in speech, yet [am I] not in knowledge; nay, in every way have we made [this] manifest unto you in all things.

⁶Thugen ah jaw pau zat siam kei mahleng leng theihna ah jaw huchibang ka hi kei; ahi, kong bangkim ah, leh thil tengteng ah, noumau lamah ka kilangsak uhi.

⁷Or did I commit a sin in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God for nought?

⁷A hihkeileh, Pathian Tanchin Hoih a thawn lela kon hilh jiaka tawisana na om theihna ding ua ka kihihniamin thil ka hihkhial ahia?

⁸I robbed other churches, taking wages [of them] that I might minister unto you;

⁸Na na uh ka sep theihna dingin amau akipana loh lain, saptuam pawl dangte ka lok ahi;

⁹and when I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man; for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and [so] will I keep [myself].

⁹Huan, na kiang ua ka oma, ka taksap laiin, kuamah kon hihbuai kei a; unau Masidonia gama kipana hongpaiten ka taksapawng a honghuksak ngal ua: bangkimah noumau hihbuai louin ka kibawla, huchibangin ka kibawl jel ding hi.

¹⁰As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this glorying in the regions of Achaia.

¹⁰Kris thutak keimaha a om bangin, hiai ka kisuanna jaw Akhaia gam lama hihdaihin om kei ding.

¹¹Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

¹¹Bangjiakin? kon it louh jiak hia? Pathianin kon it a thei.

¹²But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

¹²Huan, a nasep uh kisaktheihpiha, kou sep bang banga sem kichite kichihna ka bulkalh theihna dingin ka sep tuh ka sem zomjel ding.

¹³For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ.

¹³Mi huchibangte jaw Kris sawltaka kibawl tawma, sawltak takloute, nasemmi mi khem hatte ahi ngal ua.

¹⁴And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light.

¹⁴Huai a hihleh a lamdang kei; Setan hial leng vak sawltakin a kibawl tawm nak ahi.

¹⁵It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.

¹⁵Huaijiakin, a nasemte leng diktatna nasemmiin kibawl tawm mahle uh thil lamdang ahi kei; huaite tawpna jaw a thil hih bang jel un ahi ding hi.

¹⁶I say again, let no man think me foolish; but if [ye do], yet as foolish receive me, that I also may glory a little.

¹⁶Ka chi nawn: kuamahin mi haiin honsep kei uhen: himahleh non seh vanglak uleh, ken leng neu chik beka ka kisaktheih sam theihna dingin mi hai bang takin honpom un.

¹⁷That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying.

¹⁷Ka gen jaw Toupa thuneihnain ka gen keia, ka kisaktheihna hai bang takin ka gen jaw ahi.

¹⁸Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

¹⁸Mi tampiten khovel thilte a kisaktheihpih jiak un kei leng kong kisathei samdeh.

¹⁹For ye bear with the foolish gladly, being wise [yourselves].

¹⁹Nou bel mi pil na hih jiak un mihaite lungkim takin na thuakzou jel ua.

²⁰For ye bear with a man, if he bringeth you into bondage, if he devoureth you, if he taketh you [captive], if he exalteth himself, if he smiteth you on the face.

²⁰Min salin honbawl le uh, honne gai le uh, nuamtak honsa le uh, amau leh amau na tunguah kiliansak le uh, na mai uah honbeng le uh, na thuakthei jel ngal ua.

²¹I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet whereinsoever any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

²¹Huchi dia jaw hatlou lua mah kei ve ua! -kisitin ka gen ahi.

²²Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

²²Hebrute ahi u hia? kei leng ka hi. Isrealte ahi u hia? kei leng ka hi. Abraham suante ahi u hia? kei leng ka hi.

²³Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I more; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths oft.

²³Kris nasemte ahi u hia? (mi hai bangin genta leng) ka hi sem; sep gimna bang ah thupi semin, suangkulha tanna ah bang thupi sem in, vuakna ah bang akan avalin, sihnaah bang tamveipi.

²⁴Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one.

²⁴Judate lakah vuakna khat veia sawmli chinglou nga vei ka tuaka;

²⁵Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day have I been in the deep;

²⁵Thumvei chianga khetin ka oma, khatvei suanga denin ka oma, thumvei long siatna ka tuaka, jan khat leh ni khat tuipi ah taihmangin ka om a,

²⁶[in] journeyings often, [in] perils of rivers, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils from [my] countrymen, [in] perils from the Gentiles, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren;

²⁶Khualzinna ah tam veipi, luite laka lauhuai, suammite laka lauhuai, ka chipihte laka lauhuai, Jentelte laka lauhuai, khopia a lauhuai, gamdaia lauhuai, tuipia lauhuai, unau takloute laka lauhuai;

²⁷[in] labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

²⁷Septawlna leh sepgimna, ihmutmohna ah tamveipi, gilkial leh dangtakna ah, anngawlna ah tamveipi, khosik leh vuaktang a omna ah bang.

²⁸Besides those things that are without, there is that which presseth upon me daily, anxiety for all the churches.

²⁸Huan, hiaite bana kigen lou saptuam pawl tengteng ka ngaihtuahna ni tenga hondelh gige leng a om hi.

²⁹Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is caused to stumble, and I burn not?

²⁹Ka hat louh pih louha hat lou kua a om ngei? kei lungnoplouhpih louha hihpuk kua a om ngeia?

³⁰If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my weakness.

³⁰Suang ding ka hihvang lakleh ka hatlouhna lam thilte ahi ka suan ding.

³¹The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed for evermore knoweth that I lie not.

³¹Toupa Jesu Pathian leh Pa, khantawna hamphaa omin, juau ka gen louhdan a thei hi.

³²In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes in order to take me:

³²Damaska khua ah kumpipa Areta nuaia gamukpan honman dingin Damaskate khopi a veng saka;Huan, tohletah kulh julah bawmin honkhai khia ua, huchiin, a khuta kipan ka suakta hi.

³³and through a window was I let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.

³³Huan, tohletah kulh julah bawmin honkhai khia ua, huchiin, a khuta kipan ka suakta hi.
