Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
1Kawk ih kami ah na oh o baktih toengah, kawk ih kami hoi kamcuk ah kho na sak o hanah, Angraeng pongah thongkrah kami, Kai mah kang pacae o,
1I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
2hmuen boih ah, minawk tlim ah khosakhaih, poeknaemhaih hoi palungsawkhaih to tawn oh loe, maeto hoi maeto amlunghaih hoiah khosah oh;
2with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
3Muithla ah poekhaih maeto amhong thai hanah tha pathok oh.
3being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4Oephaih maeto tawnh hanah nangcae to kawk baktih toengah, takpum maeto hoi Muithla maeto ni oh;
4There is one body and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling,
5Angraeng maeto, tanghaih maeto, tuinuemhaih maeto,
5one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6kaminawk boih ih Ampa, Sithaw maeto khue ni oh, anih loe aicae boih ranui ah oh, kami boih khaeah oh moe, nangcae boih thungah oh.
6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in us all.
7Toe Kri ih tangqum paekhaih baktih toengah, tahmenhaih loe aicae boih khaeah paek boeh.
7But to each one of us, the grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8To pongah ni Anih ranui bangah caeh tahang naah, misong ah kaom kaminawk to a zaeh moe, kaminawk khaeah tangqumnawk to paek, tiah a thuih.
8Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”
9(Anih caeh tahang, tiah thuih naah, anih loe long thung ih kahnaem koek ahmuen ah anghum tathuk hmaloe, tiah doeh thuih koehhaih ih na ai maw?
9Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
10Anghum tathuk kami loe, hmuen boih koepsak hanah, van boih ranui koekah daw tahang kami to thuih koehhaih ih ni.)
10He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
11Anih mah thoemto kaminawk to patoeh ih kami, thoemto kaminawk to tahmaa, thoemto kaminawk to tamthanglok taphong kami, thoemto kaminawk to kricaa zaehoikung hoi patukkung ah paek:
11He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;
12kaciim kaminawk toksak akoep moe, Kri takpum a qoeng o sak thai hanah,
12for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,
13aicae boih tanghaih hoi Sithaw Capa panoekhaih bangah maeto ah amhong moe, Kri akoephaih tawn kami maeto ah a pha o ai karoek to om tih;
13until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
14aicae loe aling thaih kaminawk mah, aling thai hanah patuk ih loknawk pongah, takhi mah hmuh naah ahnuk ahmaa kangthui nawktanawk baktiah a oh o han om ai,
14that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
15toe tih boih ah lu ah kaom, Kri hoi kangvan ah a qoeng o thai hanah, amlunghaih hoiah loktang lok thui kami ah a oh o han oh boeh:
15but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,
16Anih khae hoiah ni takpum boih nawnto amcong moe, kamtomh ahuhnawk boih doeh thacaksak, takpum ah kaom tanghangnawk boih mah angmacae ih tok a sak o boih baktih toengah, takpum to amlunghaih bangah a qoeng o sak tahang.
16from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.
17To pongah Angraeng rang hoiah hae tiah lok ka thuih, vaihi hoi kamtong tiah doeh angcoeng ai, Gentelnawk caehhaih baktiah caeh o hma lai ah,
17This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,
18nihcae panoekhaih loe khoving baktiah tahmuep moe, panoekhaih tawn o ai, palung mik a maeng o pongah, Sithaw hinghaih hoiah amkhraeng o ving boeh:
18being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts.
19nihcae loe azathaih tawn o ai, taksa koehhaih bangah thacak o parai moe, long taksa koeh hmoekhaih palung tawnh o pongah, kaciim ai hmuennawk boih to a sak o.
19They, having become callous, gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20To baktih hmuen to Kri khae hoiah nam tuk o ai;
20But you didn’t learn Christ that way,
21Anih kawng to na thaih o boeh, loktang loe Jesu ah ni oh, tiah anih mah ang patuk o boeh:
21if indeed you heard him and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
22canghnii ih aling koehhaih palungthin hoiah kamro kangquem hinghaih to angkhring oh loe,
22that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,
23Muithla ah poekhaih palungthin to angtha o sak ah;
23and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24toenghaih hoi loktang ciimcaihaih bangah, Sithaw ah sak ih kami kangtha to angkhuk oh.
24and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
25To pongah lok amlaihaih to takhoe oh, aicae loe takpum maeto hoi kaom tanghang ah a oh o pongah, kami boih mah a imtaeng kami khaeah loktang lok to thuih han oh.
25Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
26Palung na phui o, toe zaehaih sah o hmah: palung na phuihaih loe niduem hmah nasoe.
26“Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,
27Setan hanah ahmuen pahoe pae o hmah.
27and don’t give place to the devil.
28Paqu kami loe paqu hma lai nasoe: toksah nasoe loe, amtang kaminawk abom hanah, kahoih hmuen to a ban hoiah sah nasoe.
28Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
29Na pakha thung hoiah loksae tacawt hmah nasoe, tahngai kaminawk atho oh thai hanah, atho kaom lok to patoh oh.
29Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
30Sithaw ih Kacai Muithla to palungsae o sak hmah, Anih hoiah ni akranghaih ni karoek to hanah catui ang daeng o.
30Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31Hnukmahaih, poek amthuenghaih, palungphuihaih, hraw-anghaih, loksethaih hoi uthaihnawk boih to nangmacae khae hoiah takhoe o ving ah:
31Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.
32maeto hoi maeto nuiah tahmenhaih hoi amlunghaih to tawn oh, Kri ah Sithaw mah ang tahmen o baktih toengah, nangcae doeh maeto hoi maeto tahmenhaih tawn oh.
32And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
