< 2 Corinthians 12 >

1 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast, but 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 Messiah who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago—whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows.
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 I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows),
4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
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 would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears 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 By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
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 Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
Au hule lao telu ena fo Lamatuaꞌ soꞌu hendi dalaꞌ ia ra mia au.
9 He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Messiah may rest 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 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Messiah’s sake. 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 foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best emissaries, 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 emissary were worked among you in all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
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 inferior to the rest of the assemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden 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, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save 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 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I 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 Even so, I myself didn’t burden you. But you might say that being crafty, I caught you with deception.
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 take advantage of you by anyone 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 exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit? Didn’t we 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 Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Messiah. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
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 am afraid that perhaps when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire, that perhaps there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,
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 that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness, sexual immorality, and lustfulness 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.
