2 Ukorintiyawa 10
1 Meng Bulu, men litinin din fuo minu acar, bara utoltinu liti nin sheu in Kristi na men na kifo kubi kona iwa di nan ghin, bara indin fuo figiri ni ghinu kubi kona indi nan ghinu ba.
Now I, Paul, am myself appealing to you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ (I who am ‘humble when present’ among you, but ‘bold when absent’ toward you).
2 Idin fuo minu acar, na iwadi nan ghin, na ina yitya in pun figiri nin nayi ale na uca, bara mma yinu ba nin na le na iworo arik tin cin nanya kidawo.
Yes, I beg you, that when I am present I may not have to be bold with the confidence that I will ‘dare’ to visit upon some who think that we are walking in a fleshly manner.
3 BAara na tidin cin nanya kidawo, aina likum bite kin kidawari ba.
Well, we do walk about in flesh, but we do not wage war that way,
4 Bara imong kabung bite in kidawari ba. Bara nanin ti dini nimong likara kitene na nazu adadu likar, na idin dasu nin ma yartdan ma hem '
because the weapons of our warfare are not physical, but are powerful in God for demolishing strongholds:
5 Tutung tidin nanzu vat nimon ile na imafitu kitene Kutell, tiyiru vat nkpilzu usu kucin nruu Kristi.
demolishing sophistries and every arrogance that sets itself up against the knowledge of God; taking captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ;
6 Tidin caa ubucu vat nittwa isalin ni liti iwase ati uni nati mune ukulo
being ready to punish every act of disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.
7 ilemong na idi cana ibunmine. Andi umong yina ayita nafo Kristi na yita nafo Kristiare wang.
Do you only look at the ‘face’ of things? If anyone has persuaded himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again with himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also we are Christ's.
8 Bara na inwa riu figiri kang mbelin g likara bite lo na Ucif wani ike minu mun na inanza minun b, na mba incin ba
Now even if I boast a little to excess about our authority (which the Lord gave us for building up, not to tear you down), I will not act ashamed,
9 Na indi nin su iyene nafo indin ziu minu nin miyert nin ba.
so as not to appear to agree that it is only with letters that I ‘terrify’ you.
10 Bara amung din belun ''iyert me din ziu nin likr, bara na iyarnu adi nin nagan ba uliru na me lien ulazu ba “
Because some say, “His letters are ‘heavy’ and forceful, but his physical presence is weak, and his speech can be disdained.”
11 Na anite yinin nilemong na tibenle brq nin bung na ti diku b, imong irum mere ti ba suu kubi ko na tidi kikane.
Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters while absent is just what we will be in action when present.
12 Natina duo pii ba ipiru natibite, konin batizu nati bit nin nale na idin foo figi mine. Bara kbi kona idin gwadizu atimine nin namonn, nin nani ima se uyenju seng ba.
Now we do not dare to class or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves; but they, measuring themselves by themselves and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
13 Na ariki wasa ti foo figiri ti kata likara ni lemong na ti wasa tui suu b, bara na tina cinu kusari ko na Kutelle b, bara na tiduro nani har ti da duru anunku.
We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will stay within the boundaries that God assigned to us, a field that includes you.
14 Bara na tina kata ti kala ati bite ba na tima dak kiti min, arikere wa di anan bunu nse minu nlirun Kristi.
For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we had not reached you, because we did indeed get to you with the Gospel of Christ;
15 Nati din foo figiri tikata likara bite ba barabkatwa na mon, bara na tidin cisu kibinai nafo na uyinu sa uyenu mine din kunju nin min bit ngira katwa we bapunu kidawo gbradan.
nor do we boast ‘off limits’ in the labors of others, but we have hope that as your faith grows our boundaries will be greatly expanded through you,
16 Ariki wang ba belu uliru Kutelle tikata kika na anung na dur. Nati ma foo figiri mbelen katwa ka na ina su kusarin na mong ba.
so as to evangelize the regions beyond you (not to boast in work already done in someone else's field).
17 Bara nanin ule na adin foo figiri na afoo figiri nanya Ucif.
“He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
18 Bara na ule na ana uti lidu amere asa so cikilari litime barananin lo na cikilarari na na yinin mu.
Because it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
