2 Corinthians 10

1 Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

ARI pein ngai Paulus men panaui komail nin tiak en opampap o limpok en Kristus; pwe ni ai mi nan pung omail, i kin aktikitik, a ni ai doo wei sang komail, i kin kelail ong komail

2 Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.

A i kin kapakapeki, pwe i ender kelail ni ai pan korendo; pwe i kileledier o lamelame, me i pan kelail ong akai, me kin wia kin kit men kekeideki tiak en pali uduk.

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;

Pwe melel, se kin mimita nan uduk, ap sota pepei ni tiak en uduk.

4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,

Pwe kapwa en at pei kaidin men ni pali uduk, pwe me manaman mon Kot, me mau ong kawela wasa tengeteng kan.

5 throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

Ni at kin kawela me akapung o me aklapalap, me kin palian erpit en Kot; o kit kin saliedi song en lamelam karos, pwen oke Kristus.

6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.

O audaude ong kaloedi me katiwo karos, omail peik lao pwanokadar.

7 Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.

Komail kin kilekilang meakan me sansal? Ma amen lamelame, me pein i sapwilim en Kristus, i en pein lameda, me kit pil sapwilim en Kristus dueta i.

8 For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,

Pwe ma i pan suaiki laude sang at manaman, me Kaun o kotiki ong kit, pwen kamaui a kaidin kawe komail la, i sota pan namenokki.

9 that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.

Pwe ender sansal duen amen me men kamasak kin komail ngai kisin likau kan,

10 For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”

Pwe irail me inda: Kisin likau kan me kasampwal o manaman, a sansal en pali war a me luet, o a padak me mal kot.

11 Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.

A me duen met, a en asa duen at kin inda nan kisin likau kan ni at doo wei sang komail, iduen pein kit ni at wiawia kan nan pung omail.

12 For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.

Pwe kit sota man mauki waroki ong me kin suaiki pein irail; a irail me sololekong, pweki ar sosong pein irail nan pung arail.

13 But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.

A kit sota men suaiki me laud sang me kon ong, a duen men song eu, me Kot kotin pang ong kit, song eu, me itar lel ong komail.

14 For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,

Pwe kit sota inong iong, me sota kon ong, dene se sota pwar wong komail er, a se pil walang komail rongamau en Kristus.

15 not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,

Kit sota kin suaiki me laud sang me kon ong, dene se suaiki en amen a dodok. A se kaporoporeki omail poson lao kakairida, at dodok pil pan laud sang re omail,

16 so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.

Pwen pil padaki rongamau nin sap akan palila sang komail, a kaidin wasan dodok en amen o sota suaiki me wiauier.

17 But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”

A ma amen men suaiki, i en suaiki Kaun o.

18 For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

Pwe kaidin i meakot, me kin kapinga pein i, pwe i eta, me Kaun o kin kapinga.
