¹Huan, kei Paula, na lak ua na mitmuh ua thunuailut taka oma, na kiang ua om louh taka noumau lama khauh ngal nakin, Kris lungnemna leh nunnemnain honngen ahi;

¹Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ; I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

²A hi, na kiang ua ka om chiangin, khenkhat sa banga oma honsepte tunga hang taka om ka tup ngamna bangin, kon khauhkhum akul louhna dingin kon ngen ahi.

²Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.

³Sa ah om mahleng, sa kidou bangin i dou kei ua,

³For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;

⁴Eite kigalvannate jaw sa leng ahi keia, kulhpi kip tak phelna dinga Pathian jiaka thilhih thei tak galvan ahi jaw.

⁴for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,

⁵Lunga gel pansante leh thil sang chiteng Pathian theihna dal dinga sang taka bawlte i phuk jel; ngaihtuahna chiteng Kris thumanna sikhaa piin;

⁵throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;

⁶Na thumandan uh hihkima a om chiangin, thumanlouhna tengteng phula ding nangawn aleng mansaa omin.

⁶and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience will be made full.

⁷Na mitmuh ua, thil omte en jel un. Kuamahin Krisa hia a kigintak leh, hiai tuh amah ngaihtuah nawn hen, amah Krisa hi mahbangin, koute leng ka hi sam uhi.

⁷Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ’s, so also we are Christ’s.

⁸Ka thuneihna uh (nou hihsiatna ding ahi keia, noumau bawl hoih jawkna dinga Toupan a honpiak) suang nawn semsem mahle ung ka zahlak kei ding uhi.

⁸For though I should boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down) I will not be disappointed,

⁹Ka lai khakte-a nou honhihlau tum banga ka lat louhna dingin huai ka chi ahi.

⁹that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.

¹⁰A laikhakte jaw a gikin, a khauha, a pumpi lam bel a jawngkhala, apau leng a hawmthohhuai ahi, a chi ngal ua.

¹⁰For, “His letters,” they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”

¹¹Ka om mang chiang ua ka laikhakte ua ka thu gelh uleh, huailaia na kiang ua ka om chiang ua ka hih ding uh a kibatlouhna a om kei chih huchibang miten a theisiam ding uh ahi.

¹¹Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.

¹²Khenkhat amau kiphatte lakah ka kisim khawm ngam kei ua, amau toh leng ka kitenpih ngam sam uh ahi keia, ahihhangin, amau jaw amau leh amau kitehin, amau leh amau kitehpihin lungsim neilouin a om uhi.

¹²For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.

¹³Kou jaw ka tehna hun val un ka uang kei ding uh, Pathianin uk a hontang saka, huai tehna bang jelin ka uang zo ding uhi, noumaute leng uk hial dinga tehna.

¹³But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.

¹⁴Uk phal louhpi honuk bangin ka huap lian lo ngal kei ua; Kris Tanchin Hoih genin na kho pha un leng ka hongpai uhi.

¹⁴For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,

¹⁵Ka tehna hun val uh, midang sepgimte jaw, ka suang kei ua; na ginna uh a khandan bang jelin, na lak ua ka louma uh nakpitaka hihletin leh om chih lametna ka nei jaw uhi,

¹⁵not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,

¹⁶Midang loumaa a sepsa suang louin, na khen lam gam uh phaa leng Tanchin Hoih ka gen theihna ding un.

¹⁶so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.

¹⁷Himahleh, a suang peuhin Toupa suang hen.Amah kiphatin phat a loh ngal keia, Toupan a gen hoihin phat a loh jaw ahi.

¹⁷But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.” Jeremiah 9:24

¹⁸Amah kiphatin phat a loh ngal keia, Toupan a gen hoihin phat a loh jaw ahi.

¹⁸For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
