¹Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

¹Huchiin, deihtakte aw, huai thuchiam i neih jiak un, sa leh kha buahna tengteng ah i kisiangsak ding uh, Pathian laudan siam kawma siangthouna hih kimin.

²Open your hearts to us: we wronged no man, we corrupted no man, we took advantage of no man.

²Na lungtang uah mun hon awn un; kua tungmah ah ka khial kei uh, kuamah ka hihgawp kei uh, kuamah tungah hamphat ka tum kei uhi.

³I say it not to condemn [you]: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die together and live together.

³Huai tuh siamlouh nou hongtangsak dingin ka chi kei; sih leh sih chiata, dam leh dam chiat dingin ka lungtang uah nou kon vom uh chih tu-ma zekin ka genta hi.

⁴Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying on your behalf: I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our affliction.

⁴Nou lamah jaw ka pau ngamdan a thupia kon suandan a thupi hi: khamuanna in ka dima, ka haksatna tengteng uah nuamsain ka dimlet a.

⁵For even when we were come into Macedonia our flesh had no relief, but [we were] afflicted on every side; without [were] fightings, within [were] fears.

⁵Masidonia gam ka tun un leng ka sa un muanna himhim a nei tuan kei a, khat lam khat lama hihgimin ka om zota ua; po lam kisualnate bang a oma; sunglam launate bang a om hi.

⁶Nevertheless he that comforteth the lowly, [even] God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

⁶Himahleh, nuaisiaha omte khamuanpa, Pathianin,

⁷and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort wherewith he was comforted in you, while he told us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced yet more.

⁷Tita hongnain hon khamuanta a; a hongna kiain ahi keia, na lungjuandan te uh, na kahdante uh, ka tunga na phattuamngaihdan te uh honhilhin, noumaua a khamuanna mahin leng a honkhamuanta ahi; huchiin, ka kipak nawn sem hi.

⁸For though I made you sorry with my epistle, I do not regret it: though I did regret [it] (for I see that that epistle made you sorry, though but for a season),

⁸Ka laikhakin honhihlungkham mahleng, ka kisik kei hi; a tungin ahihleh ka kisika, huai laikhakin nou a honhihlungkham chih ka theih jiakin; himahleh sawtlou kal kia ahi a.

⁹I now rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance; for ye were made sorry after a godly sort, that ye might suffer loss by us in nothing.

⁹Tun jaw ka kipak ahi, hihlungkhama na om jiak uh ahi keia, kisikna dinga na lungkham jiak un ahi jaw hi. Koumau jiaka bangmah na tan louhna ding un Pathian deihlam banga hihlungkhamin na om ngal ua.

¹⁰For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, [a repentance] which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

¹⁰Pathian deihlam banga lungkhamnain hotdamna dingin, kisikna a bawla, kisikhuai thil a tun kei; khovel lungkhamna inbel sihna abawl zo nak hi.

¹¹For behold, this selfsame thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought in you, yea what clearing of yourselves, yea what indignation, yea what fear, yea what longing, yea what zeal, yea what avenging! In everything ye approved yourselves to be pure in the matter.

¹¹En mah un, Pathian deihlam a lungkhamnain bangchibang chihtakna, bangchibang kihahsiang nopna, bangchibang ki-awilouhna, bangchibang patauhna, bangchibang lunggulhna, bangchibang phattuamngaihna, bangchibang gawtna ahia nou-a dia hontuttak. Bangkim ah huai thu ah na siang uh chih nakihihlang ta uhi.

¹²So although I wrote unto you, I [wrote] not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be made manifest unto you in the sight of God.

¹²Huchiin, na kiang uah gelh mahleng, a gilou hihpa jiakin ka gelh keia, a gilou thuakpa jiakin leng ka gelh sam kei, ka tung ua na phattuam ngaihdan uh Pathian mitmuha na kiang ua theihsaka a om theihna dingin ka gelh ahi jaw hi.

¹³Therefore we have been comforted: And in our comfort we joyed the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit hath been refreshed by you all.

¹³Huaijiakin, khamuannain ka omta him ua; koumau khamuanna kia lou ah leng, Tita kipahna jiakin ka kipak nawn sem ua, nou tengtengin a lungsim na hihhalh sak tak jiakun.

¹⁴For if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

¹⁴A kiangah banglam peuhah leng noumau honsuang mah le ung, ka zahlak ngal kei ua, zahlak nak sangin bangkim, na kiang ua thu taktak a ka gen jel bang un, Tita maa a kon suan uh tuh thu taktak a honghita ngei hi.

¹⁵And his affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

¹⁵Huan, na vek ua a thu na mandante uh, lau leh ling kawma amah na kipahpih dante uh thei gigein, a lungsim tuh noumau lamah a nak ten nawnsem ta ahi.Thil bangkim ah na tung ua ka muan jiakin ka kipak ahi.

¹⁶I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.

¹⁶Thil bangkim ah na tung ua ka muan jiakin ka kipak ahi.
