1If I must glory (it is not expedient indeed), but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
1Amoek hae kai han atho om ai, toe Angraeng mah ang patuek ih hmuen hoi amtuengsak ih hmuennawk to kam oek haih han vop.
2I know a man in Christ above fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not, or out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up to the third heaven.
2Kalaem tangcae saning hatlai palito naah Kri ah kaom kami maeto ka panoek, (taksa ah maw, ka thui thai ai; taksa ai ah maw, ka thui thai ai: Sithaw mah panoek;) to kami to van asom thumto haih ah lak tahang.
3And I know such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not: God knoweth),
3To kami maeto to ka panoek, (taksa ah maw, to tih ai boeh loe taksa ai ah, ka thui thai ai: Sithaw mah panoek;)
4That he was caught up into paradise, and heard secret words, which it is not granted to man to utter.
4anih loe paradise ah lak tahang moe, lok hoiah thuilaek ai, kami mah thuih koi ai loknawk to a thaih.
5For such an one I will glory; but for myself I will glory nothing, but in my infirmities.
5To baktih kami maeto to kam oek haih han: ka thazokhaih khue ai ah loe, kaimah hoi kaimah loe kam oek haih mak ai.
6For though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I will say the truth. But I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth in me, or any thing he heareth from me.
6Amoek han ka koeh aep to mah, kamthu ah ka om mak ai; loktang ni ka thuih han. Toe kami mah kai to hnuk moe, kai khae hoi a thaih ih tamthang pong kamthlai ah a poek moeng han ai ah, thui ai ah ka oh.
7And lest the greatness of the revelations should exalt me, there was given me a sting of my flesh, an angel of Satan, to buffet me.
7Thuilaek ai amtuenghaih ka hnuk pongah, ka sakthaihaih pong kamthlai ah kam oek moeng han ai ah, kai pacaekthlaek hanah Setan ih laicaeh maeto ah kaom, soekhring to ka taksa thungah ang suek pae.
8For which thing thrice I besought the Lord, that it might depart from me.
8Hae baktih karai hmuen ang takhoe pae ving hanah, Angraeng khaeah vai thumto tahmenhaih ka hnik.
9And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee; for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
9Toe Anih mah kai khaeah, Ka tahmenhaih loe nang hanah khawt: thazok naah ni ka thacakhaih hoiah akoep, tiah ang naa. Kri thacakhaih ka nuiah oh thai hanah, ka thazokhaih to ni kam oek haih han.
10For which cause I please myself in my infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ. For when I am weak, then am I powerful.
10To pongah Kri hanah loe thazokhaih, kasae thuihaih, amtanghaih, pacaekthlaekhaih hoi karai tonghaihnawk to ka koeh: tha ka zok naah, thacakhaih hoiah ka koi.
11I am become foolish: you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you: for I have no way come short of them that are above measure apostles, although I be nothing.
11Kai loe kamthu maeto baktiah kam oek boeh; toe nangcae mah ni to tiah nang oh o sak. Kai hae nang pakoeh o han oh; kai loe tidoeh na ai ni, toe patoeh ih kalen koek kami pongah ka hnaem kue ai.
12Yet the signs of my apostleship have been wrought on you, in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
12Nangcae khaeah ka oh naah, palungsawkhaih hoiah ni ka oh, angmathaih hmuennawk, dawnrai koi kaom hmuennawk to patoeh ih kami maeto mah anghmang kaom thacakhaih hoiah nangcae salakah kamnoek ah amtuengsak boeh.
13For what is there that you have had less than the other churches, but that I myself was not burthensome to you? Pardon me this injury.
13Nangcae han hmuenzit ah ka om ai tiah thuih ih lok thui ai ah loe, kawbaktih hmuen pongah maw kalah kricaabunawk pongah na hnaem o kuehaih oh? To tiah ka sakpazaehaih to na tahmen oh.
14Behold now the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burthensome unto you. For I seek not the things that are yours, but you. For neither ought the children to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
14Khenah, nangcae khaeah vai thumto haih paqai hanah kam sak; toe nangcae raihaih kang paek mak ai: na tawnh o ih hmuenmae to ka pakrong ai, nangmacae to ni ka pakrong. Nawktanawk mah amno hoi ampa hanah hmuenmae patung pae ai, amno hoi ampa mah ni nawktanawk hanah hmuenmae patung pae.
15But I most gladly will spend and be spent myself for your souls; although loving you more, I be loved less.
15Kai nang palung o ai cadoeh, kai mah kang palung o parai pongah, kaimah hoi ka tawnh ih hmuennawk boih hae nangcae hinghaih pakhra hanah anghoehaih hoi ka patoh han.
16But be it so: I did not burthen you: but being crafty, I caught you by guile.
16To tiah sak naah doeh, raihaih kang paek o ai: toe thoemto kaminawk mah loe anih mah ang ling, palunghahaih hoiah kaicae ang ling, tiah a thuih o.
17Did I overreach you by any of them whom I sent to you?
17Nangcae khaeah ka patoeh ih kaminawk mah ang ling o maw?
18I desired Titus, and I sent with him a brother. Did Titus overreach you? Did we not walk with the same spirit? did we not in the same steps?
18Titu to ka pacae moe, nawkamya maeto hoiah nawnto anih to kang patoeh. Titu mah hmuenmae ang lak pae o maw? Kaicae loe poek anghmonghaih hoiah tok ka sah o ai maw? Kanghmong loklam to ka pazui o ai maw?
19Of old, think you that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ; but all things, my dearly beloved, for your edification.
19To pacoeng bae ah, kaicae loe kaimacae pakahaih lok ni ka thuih o, tiah na poek o maw? Kri ah ka oh o baktih toengah, Sithaw hmaa ah ni lok ka thuih o: toe nawkamyanawk, nangcae qoeng thaih han ih ni, hmuennawk boih hae ka sak o.
20For I fear lest perhaps when I come I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found by you such as you would not. Lest perhaps contentions, envyings, animosities, dissensions, detractions, whisperings, swellings, seditions, be among you.
20Nangcae khae kang zoh naah, ka hnuk koeh ih hmuen to ka hnu mak ai, nangcae mah doeh kai khae hoi hnuk han koeh ih hmuen to na hnu o mak ai ah, lok angaekhaih, uthaih, palungphuihaih, angzoehhaih, kasaethuihaih, pronghaih, amoekhaih hoi lokpunghaihnawk to om lat moeng tih, tiah zithaih ka tawnh:
21Lest again, when I come, God humble me among you: and I mourn many of them that sinned before, and have not done penance for the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, that they have committed.
21nangcae khae kang zoh let naah, nangcae salakah kaom paroeai kaminawk loe a sak o ih zaehaihnawk to caeh o taak ai moe, ciimcai ai hmuen, tamquta hoi nongpa nongpata zae sakhaih, taksa koehhaih baktiah a sak o ih zaehaihnawk to dawnpakhuem o ai ah, vaihi khoek to a sak o vop pongah, ka Sithaw mah nangcae hma ah azathaih na tongsak ueloe, palung kasae moeng tih.
