2 Corinthians 12

1 It is indeed not expedient for me to boast; 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 know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, —whether in the body, I know not, or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth, —such a one caught up even 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 know such a man, whether in the body, or without the body, I know not; God knoweth, —

4 that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

5 Of such a one I will boast; but of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.

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 should desire to boast, I should not be a fool; for I should say the truth; but I forbear, lest any one should think of me above what he seeth me to be, or what he heareth from me.

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 that I might not be too much lifted up by the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to buffet me, that I might not be too much lifted up.

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 In respect to this I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart 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 sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the strength of Christ may abide upon 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 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, 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 become a fool; it is ye that compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the very foremost 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 wrought among you with all endurance, by signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

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 ye were at disadvantage when compared with other churches, except that I myself was not a charge to you? Forgive me 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 Behold, I am ready to come to you this third time, and I will not be a charge to you; for I seek not yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents 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 very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more I love you, the less I am loved.

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 be it so; I at least was not a charge to you; but yet, being crafty, I caught you with guile.

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 gain of you by any of those whom I have sent to you?

Dadꞌi taꞌo bee? Mbei ma atahori fo au haitua reti sia nggi, lelekoꞌ rala nggi, do?

18 I urged Titus to go to you, and with him I sent the brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps?

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 Have ye been thinking this long time that we are defending ourselves to you? It is before God in Christ that we are speaking; but all things, beloved, for your edification.

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 fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and lest I too shall be found by you such as ye would not; lest there be wranglings, envying, wraths, rivalries, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;

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 lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many of those who have sinned already, and did not repent of the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, which they committed.

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.
