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.

¹It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. For I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

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.

²I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows), such a one caught up into the third heaven.

³Huan, huai mi mahmah (pumpiin hia a om, pumpi louin hia ka theikei; Pathianin a thei; )

³I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows),

⁴Paradisa lak touha a om dan, thugen vual louh, mihing gensiang loute a ja chih ka thei.

⁴how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

⁵Mi huchibang a hihleh ka suang ding; himahleh, ka hatlouhna lou jaw keimah ka kisuang kei ding.

⁵On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.

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.

⁶For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me, or hears from me.

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.

⁷By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.

⁸Huai thil tungtang thuah hon awngsut theihna dingin Toupa thumvei ka ngena.

⁸Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from 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.

⁹He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

¹⁰Huaijiakin, Kris jiaka hatlouhna ah, liamna ah, taksapna ah, sawina ah, lungngaihna ah ka kipak jel ahi; ka hatlouh peuhpeuhin ahi ka hat jawk.

¹⁰Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

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.

¹¹I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.

¹²Sawltak hih chiamtehnate kuhkalna chiteng toh chiamtehnate, thillamdangte, thilhihtheihnate-in na lak ua hih ahi taktak ve.

¹²Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs and wonders and mighty works.

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.

¹³For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong.

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.

¹⁴Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

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?

¹⁵I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?

¹⁶Ahihhangin, keimahmahin honhihbuai lou hita leng, ka lepciah a zekhemna-in kon man, na sa uh ahi dinge.

¹⁶But be it so, I did not myself burden you. But, being crafty, I caught you with deception.

¹⁷Na kiang ua ka sawlte lakah kuahiam bek zangin nou kon hamphatpih ahia?

¹⁷Did I take advantage of you by anyone of them whom I have sent to you?

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?

¹⁸I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit? Didn’t we walk in the same steps?

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.

¹⁹Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.

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.

²⁰For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire; that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, riots;

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.

²¹that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness and sexual immorality and lustfulness which they committed.
