2 Corinthians 12
1 As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Mete ma hei nau, na, hela fo au olaꞌ koao seluꞌ mbei fai. Tao-tao te olaꞌ koao nda naꞌena ngguna sa. Te ae ufadꞌe nggi dala-dalaꞌ fo hita Lamatuan natudꞌu neu au, onaꞌ sia meit e.
2 I have knowledge of a man in Christ, fourteen years back (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only), who was taken up to the third heaven.
Au uhine atahori sa nenepaꞌaꞌ no Kristus. Too sanahulu haa manalaoꞌ naa, eni nenesoꞌu-botiꞌ lalai naruꞌ ata neu. Ana nenebotiꞌ no aon, do, akaꞌ samanan o, au nda uhine sa. Akaꞌ Lamatuaꞌ nahine. Au o uhine ae, leleꞌ ana hene nisiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ Mamana Meulaun, ana rena dedꞌea-oꞌola manaseliꞌ tebꞌe, losa atahori nda bisa olaꞌ sa
3 And I have knowledge of such a man (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only),
4 How he was taken up into Paradise, and words came to his ears which may not be said, and which man is not able to say.
5 On account of such a one I will have glory: for myself I will take no glory, but only in my feeble body.
Dadꞌi soaꞌ neu atahori mataꞌ naa, au ae olaꞌ koao. Te au nda nau olaꞌ koao soꞌal ao ngga sa. Soꞌal saa fo au nda tao beꞌi sa, au feꞌe na olaꞌ koao taꞌo naa.
6 For if I had a desire to take credit to myself, it would not be foolish, for I would be saying what is true: but I will not, for fear that I might seem to any man more than he sees me to be, or has word from me that I am.
Mete ma au ae olaꞌ koao, na au nda parlu ombo-koson sa, te au hambu dala ndoo-tetuꞌ hetar fo au bisa olaꞌ. Te au uꞌumamateꞌ ao ngga, fo atahori afiꞌ dudꞌuꞌa rae, au manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ mia saa fo ara rena ma rita mia au.
7 And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain.
Lelenan fai, Lamatuaꞌ natudꞌu neu au dalaꞌ hetar manaseliꞌ. Te au o hambu sususaꞌ boe, naa fo au afiꞌ koao. Te nitu ra malanggan denu ana dedꞌenun esa fo akaꞌ ngganggu au nakandooꞌ a, onaꞌ nggaut esa akaꞌ mbau-mbauꞌ ao ngga. Weh! Au doidꞌoso seli tebꞌe!
8 And about this thing I made request to the Lord three times that it might be taken away from me.
Au hule lao telu ena fo Lamatuaꞌ soꞌu hendi dalaꞌ ia ra mia au.
9 And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.
Te Ana nataa au nae, “Au utudꞌu rala malole ngga neu nggo. Naa dai soaꞌ neu nggo. Te leleꞌ ho duꞌa mae, tungga maꞌaderem na nda feꞌe dai sa, na, Au koasa ngga boe maꞌadere sia naa.” Naeni de au ae olaꞌ naeꞌ seluꞌ, leleꞌ au nda tao beꞌi dalaꞌ esa sa. Huu onaꞌ naa, au bubꞌuluꞌ ae, Kristus koasan nasodꞌa sia au.
10 So I take pleasure in being feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong.
Naa de, mete ma au medꞌa nda bisa tao ala dalaꞌ esa sa, au rala ngga suba-subaꞌ a. Dadꞌi leleꞌ atahori olaꞌ raꞌamamaeꞌ au do tao raꞌasususaꞌ au, do tao doidꞌoso au, do poko-paru au, huu au dadꞌi Kristus atahorin, de rala ngga suba-subaꞌ a. Te mete ma au nda bisa sa, na, au hambu koasa laoꞌ mia Kristus fo bisa tao dalaꞌ naa.
11 I have been forced by you to become foolish, though it was right for my praise to have come from you: for in no way was I less than the chief of the Apostles, though I am nothing.
Naa, hei misodꞌa onaꞌ Lamatuaꞌ nda parna denu au eti sia naa sa. Naa de, nau do nda nau sa o, faꞌ ra au olaꞌ onaꞌ nggoaꞌ e mbei. Matetun, hei musi olaꞌ koao soꞌal au. Memaꞌ au nda uꞌena sosoaꞌ saa saa sa boe. Te mete ma neꞌesasamaꞌ au o “atahori manaseliꞌ naa ra”, mana oi Lamatuaꞌ mana denu sira, na sira, nda manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ au sa.
12 Truly the signs of an Apostle were done among you in quiet strength, with wonders and acts of power.
Mete ma Lamatuaꞌ denu atahori esa fo neu dui-bꞌengga atahori soꞌal Eni, atahori naa tao manadadꞌi manaseliꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ nendiꞌ koasa, fo natudꞌu bukti oi, Lamatuaꞌ mana denu eni. Te afiꞌ liliiꞌ, huu leleꞌ au mia hei taladꞌa mara, au o tao manadadꞌi manaseliꞌ onaꞌ naa boe. Te au tao taoꞌ naa ma uꞌutataaꞌ ukundooꞌ a.
13 For what is there in which you were made less than the other churches, but in the one thing that I was not a trouble to you? Let me have forgiveness for this wrong.
Te afiꞌ miminasa, e! Akaꞌ dalaꞌ esaꞌ a, au nda tao sia hei e sa, fo atahori laen tao sia atahori saraniꞌ laen ra. Naeni, au nda nau fo ama tanggon masodꞌa ngga sa.
14 This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children.
Taꞌo ia! Au uhehere uma sia hei lao ka telun ena. Au nda parlu nggi tanggon masodꞌa ngga sa. Au o nda parlu hei suꞌim sa boe. Te, tungga hita hadꞌat na, nda nandaa anadikiꞌ ra mbedaꞌ suꞌit fee neu ina-ama nara sa. Nandaa naa, na, naeni atahori lasiꞌ mana mbedaꞌ hela suꞌin fo fee neu ana nara. Dadꞌi au nda parlu fo ama mbedaꞌ hela suꞌim fee au sa, huu hei onaꞌ au ana ngga ra boe! Au parluꞌ a hei ao mara no rala susue mara.
15 And I will gladly give all I have for your souls. If I have the more love for you, am I to be loved the less?
Mete ma parlu, na au hiiꞌ fee basa sudꞌi a saa nggara ma nau tao ues itaꞌ mamate ngga fo masodꞌa mara tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun. Dadꞌi mete ma au sue useliꞌ nggi, na hei o musi sue au onaꞌ naa boe. Dadꞌi, taꞌo bee de hei kekeꞌe susue mara? Nda nandaa sa, to?
16 But let it be so, that I was not a trouble to you myself; but (someone may say) being false, I took you with deceit.
Hambu mia hei e rataa rae, au nda tao umubꞌera nggi sa. Te ruma fai rae, au dadꞌi atahori mana mahine peko-lelekoꞌ ma lelekoꞌ ala nggi, losa tao nggi tungga au hihii ngga.
17 Did I make a profit out of you by any of those whom I sent to you?
Dadꞌi taꞌo bee? Mbei ma atahori fo au haitua reti sia nggi, lelekoꞌ rala nggi, do?
18 I gave orders to Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus make any profit out of you? were we not guided by the same Spirit, in the same ways?
Huu au denu Titus fo neti sia nggi. Au o denu toronooꞌ laen esa neu no e boe. Do itaꞌ Titus lelekoꞌ nala nggi, do? Hokoꞌ, to? Huu Titus hei atahori nemeherem. Ma Titus no au ia, ona esaꞌ. Hai ue-tao dalaꞌ ona esaꞌ, huu hai ruꞌa nggi dudꞌuꞌa mara, ona esaꞌ boe.
19 It may seem to you that all this time we have been attempting to put ourselves in the right; but we are saying these things before God in Christ. For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit.
Toronoo susue nggara, e! Seꞌu te hei dudꞌuꞌa eniꞌ a faꞌ ra mae, hai misilaꞌe ao mara sia mata mara, do? Hokoꞌ! Huu basa saa fo hai olaꞌ ia ra, Lamatualain bubꞌuluꞌ. De hai nda bisa miꞌifuniꞌ saa-saa mia E sa. Hai o nenepaꞌaꞌ mo Kristus boe. Huu hai sue nggi, naeni de basa saa fo hai taoꞌ ia ra, hai miꞌena masud mae tao maꞌadere nggi.
20 For I have a fear that, when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority;
Dei fo, leleꞌ au eti sia nggi, au duꞌa-duꞌa, afiꞌ losa hei nda dadꞌi onaꞌ au hihii ngga sa. Seꞌu-seꞌu te hambu ruma rareresi, rala meraꞌ, mbedaꞌ ralaꞌ, ruma duꞌaꞌ a ao nara, ruma olaꞌ raꞌamuti-raꞌamu atahori nara malole nara, ruma rendi-rendiꞌ a dedꞌea lenaꞌ, ruma koao, ma ruma ramue-raanggi. Mbei ma au o dadꞌi atahori nda onaꞌ hei hiiꞌ a sa boe.
21 And that when I come again, my God may put me to shame among you, and I may have grief for those who have done wrong before and have had no regret for their unclean ways, and for the evil desires of the flesh to which they have given way.
Dei fo leleꞌ au eti sia nggi, dudꞌuꞌa ngga liuali huu hei tatao mara. Afiꞌ losa Lamatualain nae tao naꞌamamaeꞌ au sia mata mara. Afiꞌ losa au tao atahori namedꞌa mamberaꞌ, huu hetar mia hei e feꞌe misodꞌa taoꞌ a deꞌulakaꞌ, ma nda nau doaꞌ sa, fo tungga baliꞌ Lamatuaꞌ dala ndoo-tetun. Sira manggenggeoꞌ! Huu ruma akaꞌ hohongge. Ara tao mataꞌ-mataꞌ nda rahine mamaet sa.
