1For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a 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 most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation 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 will not be found naked.
3Huchibanga silhin om leng vuaktangin i omkei ding uhi.
4For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by 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 who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
5Huan, huaia mahmah dinga honsutuahpa Pathian ahi, khamna kha honpepa.
6Therefore we are always confident and know that while 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.
7for we walk by faith, not by sight.
7Mu theia pai louin, ginnain i pai zo jel uhi.
8We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
8Muangtakin i om, huan pumpia om loua Toupa kianga om i ut jaw hi.
9Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
9Huaijiakin, omin, om kei leng, amah kipahpih lam mi hih i tum chinten ahi.
10For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether 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 fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also 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 are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast 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 if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.
13Ka hai u leh, Pathian adin ahi a; ka pi u leh, noumau adin ahi ngala.
14For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.
14Kris itnain honsawl teitei ahi; hichin ka ngaihtuah uh: Mi tengteng sih sikin mi khat a si a, huaijiakin mi tengteng a si uhi;
15He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died 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.
16Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so 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 anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have 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.
18But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave 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;
19namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to 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.
20We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be 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 him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
21Amah ah Pathian diktatna i honghih theihna dingin, khelhna himhim theilou amah tuh Pathianin eite jiakin khelhnain a bawl hi.
