2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

ᏉᎳ, ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎩᏅᏏᏛ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏓᏅᏖᎸᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᎹᏗ ᎢᎩᏅᏟ, ᏫᏨᏲᏪᎳᏏ ᏗᏣᏁᎶᏗ ᎢᏣᏓᏡᎬ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ ᎪᎵᏂᏗᏱ ᏥᏣᏓᏡᎬ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᏛ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏘ ᏂᎬᎾᏛ ᎠᎦᏯ ᎢᏤᎲᎢ;

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

ᎦᎸᏉᏙᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏙᏓ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᎦᏤᎵ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ, ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏣᏘ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎠᏓᎦᎵᏍᏓᏗᏍᎩ;

4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᎩᎦᎵᏍᏓᏗᏍᎩ ᏥᎩ ᏂᎦᎥ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎣᏥᎩᎵᏲᎬᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏐᏗᏱ ᏰᎵ ᏗᎦᏲᏥᎦᎵᏍᏓᏗᏍᏗ ᎠᏂᎩᎵᏲᎩ, ᎦᏲᎬᏙᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏓᎦᎵᏍᏓᏗᏍᎩ ᎣᎬᏒ ᎣᎩᎦᎵᏍᏓᏗᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ.

5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

ᎾᏍᎩᏯᏰᏃ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᎩᎵᏲᏨ ᎤᏣᏘ ᏦᏥᎩᎵᏲᎦ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎤᏣᏔ ᎣᎩᏁᎭ ᎠᏓᎦᎵᏍᏓᏗᏍᎩ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎨᏒ ᏅᏓᏳᏓᎴᏅᎯ.

6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

ᎢᏳ ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏲᏥᎩᎵᏲᎦ, ᎢᏥᎦᎵᏍᏓᏗᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎢᏣᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗ ᎤᎬᏩᎳ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏥᏩᏛᎡᎭ ᏗᏨᏂᏗᏳ ᎢᏥᎩᎵᏲᎢᏍᏗᏱ ᎠᏴ ᎣᏥᎩᎵᏲᎬ ᎤᏠᏱ; ᎢᏳ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎦᎵᏍᏗ ᏲᎦᏓᏅᏔ, ᎢᏥᎦᎵᏍᏓᏗᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎢᏣᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗ ᎤᎬᏩᎳ.

7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.

ᎠᎴ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎢᏨᏴᏒ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏗᏳ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᏦᏥᎦᏔᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏣᏠᏯᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎠᎩᎵᏲᎢᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎢᏣᏠᏯᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎤᎦᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.

8 For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏲᎦᏚᎵᎭ, ᎢᏓᎵᏅᎵ, ᏂᏥᎦᏔᎲᎾᏉ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏕᏯᏙᏗ ᎣᎩᎷᏤᎸ ᎡᏏᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎶᏒᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎦᎨᏛ ᎣᎩᎷᏤᎸᎢ, ᎤᎶᏒᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᏂᏙᎦᎵᏂᎬᎬᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᏅᏓᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬᎩ ᎣᎦᎸᏲᎵᎸᎩ ᏦᎦᏛᏂᏗᏍᏗᏱ;

9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

ᎠᏎᏃ ᎣᎩᎲᎩ ᏦᎩᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᏚᏚᎪᏔᏅᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏱᎬᏒᏉ ᎣᎦᏓᎵᏍᎦᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎣᏣᎵᏍᎦᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏧᏂᏲᎱᏒᎯ ᏗᎴᎯᏐᏗᏍᎩ;

10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us,

ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎣᎫᏓᎴᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᎾᏰᎯᏍᏗ ᎠᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎠᏏ ᏦᎫᏓᎴᎭ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏚᎩ ᏦᏨᎾᏁᎭ ᎠᏏᏉ ᎣᎫᏓᎴᏍᏗᏱ;

11 you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

ᏂᎯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏍᎩᏍᏕᎵᏍᎬ ᎢᏣᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎣᎩᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᎩᏙᎵᏨ ᎤᏂᏣᏘ ᎢᏳᏅᏂᏌᏛ ᏅᏓᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎤᏂᏣᏘ ᎤᎾᎵᎮᎵᏤᏗᏱ [ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ] ᎠᏴ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ.

12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

ᎯᎠᏰᏃ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᏦᏣᎵᎮᎵᎦ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏦᎦᏓᏅᏙᎩ ᎪᎯᏳᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᏃᏨᏗᏍᎬᎾ ᎤᏇᏓᎵᏉ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎣᎩᏍᏕᎵᏍᎬᎢ, ᏄᏠᎾᏍᏛᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏨᏗᏍᎬ ᎣᎨᏙᎸ ᎠᏂ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎠᎴ Ꮀ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎭ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏤᎲᎢ.

13 For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end—

ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏅᏩᏓᎴ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏱᏨᏲᏪᎳᏁᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᏩᏒ ᏥᏥᎦᏔᎭ ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏥᏕᏣᏓᏂᎸᏨ; ᎠᎴ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎠᏋᎭ ᎬᎵᏍᏆᏗᏍᎩ ᏗᏣᏓᏂᎸᎢᏍᏗᏱ ᎨᏒᎢ;

14 as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏰᎵᎦᎾᎨ ᏗᏍᎩᏯᏓᏂᎸᏨᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏴ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏨᏯᎵᎡᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏍᎩᏯᎵᎡᎵᏍᏙᏗ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᎯᏳ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏥᏌ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎢᎦ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.

15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,

ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎠᏉᎯᏳᏒ ᎠᏆᏓᏅᏖᎸᎩ ᎪᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏏ ᎾᏍᏆᎵᏍᎬᎾ ᏫᏨᎷᏤᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏐᏗᏱ ᏔᎵᏁ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗᏱ;

16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.

ᎠᎴ ᏫᏨᎶᎢᏍᏓᏁᏗᏱ ᎹᏏᏙᏂ ᏩᎩᎷᎯᏍᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᎹᏏᏙᏂ ᏗᎦᏂᎩᏒ ᏔᎵᏁ ᏅᏓᏨᎷᏤᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᏧᏗᏱ ᏫᏥᎦᏛ ᏍᎩᏯᏘᏅᏍᏗᏱ.

17 When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”

ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᏥᏄᏍᏛ ᏣᏆᏓᏅᏖᎸᎩ, ᏅᎵᏌᎵᏉᏍᎪ ᎠᎩᏰᎸᎯ ᎨᏎᎢ? ᎠᎴ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎦᏓᏅᏛᎵ, ᏥᎪ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᎤᏓᏅᏖᏗ ᎦᏓᏖᏍᎪᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎠᏴ ᏥᏁᎬ ᎯᎠᏉ ᏱᏄᏍᏗ, ᎥᎥ, ᎥᎥ, ᎠᎴ ᎥᏝ, ᎥᏝ?

18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”

ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᏄᏓᎵᏓᏍᏛᎾ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ [ ᏄᏙᎯᏳᎭ ] ᎠᏴ ᎢᏨᏁᏤᎲ ᎥᎥ ᎠᎴ ᎥᏝ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ.

19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”

ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᎤᏪᏥ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏤᎲ ᎢᏨᏯᎵᏥᏙᏁᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏴ, ᎠᎴ ᏏᎵᏪᎾ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᎹᏗ ᎢᏨᏯᎵᏥᏙᏁᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎥᎥ ᎠᎴ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏛᏗᏱ ᎥᏝ ᏲᎦᏛᏁᎢ, ᎥᎥᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎤᏛᏗᏱ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏃᎬᏁᎸᎩ.

20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.

ᎾᎦᏛᏰᏃ ᎤᏚᎢᏍᏔᏅᎢ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ, ᎥᎥ ᎬᏛᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏯ ᎨᏐ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏥᎸᏉᏙᏗᏱ ᎠᏴ ᎢᏲᎬᏁᏗᏱ.

21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎠᏴ ᎠᎴ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᏗᎦᎵᏂᎪᎯᏍᏗᏍᎩ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎡᏓᏤᎵᎦ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᎩᎶᏁᎥᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ;

22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎢᎩᏰᎸᏔᏅᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᎩᏁᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ ᏗᎩᎾᏫᏱ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎠᎦᏘᏗᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.

23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I didn’t come to Corinth.

ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏥᏔᏲᏎᎭ ᎠᎦᏔᎯ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎠᏆᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᏬᎯᏳᏓᏁᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎥᏍᎬ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬ ᎠᏏ ᎪᎵᏂᏗᏱ ᏫᏂᏥᎷᎬᎾ ᏥᎩ;

24 We don’t control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
