1I hope you will bear with a little of my foolishness, but you are already doing that.
1Kam thuhaih to nawnetta thung nang pauep pae o thai hanah ka koeh: pauep doeh nang pauep pae o boeh.
2I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
2Kacuem nongpata maeto ka hamh baktiah, Kri ah kang hamh o boeh pongah, nangcae to Sithaw uthaih palungthin hoiah kang khet o.
3I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.
3Toe pahui mah athlaeng koehhaih palung hoiah Evi to aling baktih toengah, na poek o haih to amro ving ueloe, Kri poekciimhaih anghmaa moeng tih, tiah zithaih ka tawnh.
4For if someone comes and proclaims a Jesus other than the One we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit than the One you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it way too easily.
4Kami maeto mah nangcae khaeah kang thui o vai ai ih kalah Jesu kawng to thuih naah, na talawk o vai ai ih kalah muithla to na talawk o moe, na talawk o vai ai ih kahoih tamthanglok doeh na talawk o nahaeloe, nangcae loe kalah tamthanglok, kalah Jesu hoi kalah muithla tapom kami ah ni na oh o.
5I consider myself in no way inferior to those “super-apostles.”
5Kai loe kalen koek patoeh ih kaminawk pongah ahnaem kue, tiah ka poek ai.
6Although I am not a polished speaker, I am certainly not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every way possible.
6Kai loe lok kanaem apae thai ai, toe panoekhaih tawn ai kami na ai ni; nangcae khaeah hmuen boih kam tueng o sak boeh.
7Was it a sin for me to humble myself in order to exalt you, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?
7Nangcae pakoeh ah oh thai hanah, kaimah hoi kaimah kahnaem ah kho ka sak moe, kahoih Sithaw tamthanglok to azom ah kang thuih o pongah, zaehaih ka tawnh maw?
8I robbed other churches by accepting their support in order to serve you.
8Nangcae khaeah tok ka sak thai hanah, kalah kricaabunawk abomhaih to ka talawk.
9And when I was with you and in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have refrained from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.
9Nangcae khaeah ka oh moe, angaihaih ka tawnh naah, mi kawbaktih doeh raihaih ka paek ai: Macedonia prae hoi angzo nawkamyanawk mah ni kang toenghaih to ang paek o: kalaem tangcae atue ah hmuen boih ah raihaih kang paek o ai baktih toengah, hmabang atue ah doeh to tiah ni ka oh poe han.
10As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.
10Loktang Kri to ka thungah oh pongah, Akaia prae thung ih mi kawbaktih mah doeh kam oekhaih hae pakaa thai mak ai.
11Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
11Tipongah? Nangcae kang palung o ai pongah maw? Sithaw mah panoek.
12But I will keep on doing what I am doing, in order to undercut those who want an opportunity to be regarded as our equals in the things of which they boast.
12Kaicae doeh kamoek nihcae baktiah ni tok ka sak o toeng, tiah nihcae mah thuih o thai han ai ah, ka sak ih tok baktiah ni ka sak poe han.
13For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
13To kaminawk loe angsahcop patoeh ih kami, minawk aling thaih toksah kami, Kri mah patoeh ih kami baktiah angmacae hoi angmacae angsahcop kaminawk ni.
14And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
14Dawnrai han om ai; Setan angmah mataeng doeh aanghaih van kami baktiah angsak toeng to loe!
15It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.
15To pongah Setan toksah kaminawk mah toenghaih toksah kami baktiah angsak o naah dawnrai han om ai; hnukkhuem ah nihcae loe a sak o ih tok baktih toengah atho to hnu o tih.
16I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
16Ka thuih let bae, mi mah doeh kai hae kamthu ah poek hmah nasoe; kamthu ah nang poek o nahaeloe, kamthu baktiah zetta kam oek han vop.
17In this confident boasting of mine, I am not speaking as the Lord would, but as a fool.
17Amoekhaih lok ka thuih naah, Angraeng ih lok baktiah ka thui ai, amthu baktiah ni ka thuih.
18Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I too will boast.
18Paroeai kaminawk mah long taksa ah amoek o baktih toengah, kai doeh kam oek toeng han vop.
19For you gladly tolerate fools, since you are so wise.
19Nangcae loe palung na ha o pongah, amthu kaminawk nuiah pauephaih na tawnh o.
20In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or exalts himself or strikes you in the face.
20Nangcae tamna ah suem kami, nangcae zaw kami, nangcae ih hmuen lomh kami, amoek kami, mikhmai ah tabaeng kaminawk nuiah mataeng doeh pauephaih na tawnh o.
21To my shame I concede that we were too weak for that! Speaking as a fool, however, I can match what anyone else dares to boast about.
21Kaicae loe to tiah ka pauep o thai ai, tiah kasae thuihaih oh pongah, to baktih hmuen ah loe tha ka zok o, azat doeh thoh parai. Toe mi kawbaktih mah doeh amoekhaih lok to thui nahaeloe (kamthu baktiah ni ka thuih,) kai doeh kam oek thai toengh.
22Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
22Nihcae loe Hebru kami ah maw oh o? Kai doeh Hebru kami toeng ni. Nihcae loe Israel kami ah maw oh o? Kai doeh Israel kami toeng ni. Nihcae loe Abraham ih acaeng ah maw oh o? Kai doeh Abraham ih acaeng toeng ni.
23Are they servants of Christ? I am speaking like I am out of my mind, but I am so much more: in harder labor, in more imprisonments, in worse beatings, in frequent danger of death.
23Nihcae loe Kri toksah kami ah maw oh o? (kamthu baktiah ka thuih) nihcae pongah tok ka sak kue; nihcae pong kamthlai ah toksah kami, paroeai bohhaih tongh kami, vaihi hoi vaihi thong krah kami, duek han khoek to raihaih tongh kami ah ka oh.
24Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
24Judahnawk mah vai pangato ang boh o, quipalito akoep hanah vaito khue ni boh han angai boeh.
25Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked. I spent a night and a day in the open sea.
25Thingboeng hoiah vai thumto ang boh o, thlung hoiah vaito ang vah o, tuipui thungah palong mah vai thumto ang palet, tuipui thungah nito pacoeng, qumto ka oh.
26In my frequent journeys, I have been in danger from rivers and from bandits, in danger from my countrymen and from the Gentiles, in danger in the city and in the country, in danger on the sea and among false brothers,
26Kholong ka caehhaih pop pongah, vapui angkat thai ai raihaih, mingcahnawk mah paek ih raihaih, kaimah ih kaminawk mah paek ih raihaih, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah paek ih raihaih, vangpui thungah ka tong ih raihaih, praezaek ah ka tong ih raihaih, tuipui ah ka tong ih raihaih, nawkamya ah angsah kaminawk mah paek ih raihaihnawk to vaihi hoi vaihi ka tong.
27in labor and toil and often without sleep, in hunger and thirst and often without food, in cold and exposure.
27Tha kana angpho qawt hoiah tok ka sak moe, vaihi hoi vaihi iip thai ai ah ohhaih, zok kamthlam tui kanghae ah ohhaih, buhcaa ai ah ohhaih, siktue naah bangkrai ah ohhaihnawk to ka tongh.
28Apart from these external trials, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.
28To baktih hmuennawk ka tongh pacoengah doeh, kricaabunawk boih to ka mawnhhaih pongah, ni thokkruek hmuen kazit mah ang taeh.
29Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with grief?
29Minawk thazok o naah, kai loe thazok ai kami ah maw ka oh? Minawk zaehaih thungah amtimh o naah, palung ka phui ai maw?
30If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
30Kam oek han angaih nahaeloe, ka thazokhaih hmuen ah ni kam oek han.
31The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is forever worthy of praise, knows that I am not lying.
31Lok kam lai ai, tito dungzan tahamhoihaih, aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri ih Ampa, Sithaw mah panoek.
32In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas secured the city of the Damascenes in order to arrest me.
32Siangpahrang Areta ukhaih thungah kaom, Damaska vangpui ukkung mah, kai naeh hanah Damaska vangpui to toepsak naah;
33But I was lowered in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his grasp.
33kai loe benthang thungah ang pacaeng o, thokbuem hoiah ang pakhrak o moe, vangpui pakaahaih tapang hoiah ang humh o sak, to naah ni anih ban thung hoiah ka loih vop.
