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, myself, appeal to you by the humble-heartedness and selflessness of Christ - Paul who "in your presence is humble, but bold enough when he is absent" -

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.

I beseech you, and I say, do not make me show my boldness, when I come in the boldness with which I think I shall show my courage against some who think that I am walking on the low level of the flesh.

3 BAara na tidin cin nanya kidawo, aina likum bite kin kidawari ba.

Though I do walk on the low level of the flesh, I do not make war as the flesh does;

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 '

for the weapons of my warfare are not weapons of the flesh, but mighty for God, in pulling down all fortresses.

5 Tutung tidin nanzu vat nimon ile na imafitu kitene Kutell, tiyiru vat nkpilzu usu kucin nruu Kristi.

For I pull down imaginations and every crag that lifts itself against the knowledge of God. And I carry every thought away into captivity and subjection to Christ;

6 Tidin caa ubucu vat nittwa isalin ni liti iwase ati uni nati mune ukulo

and I am fully prepared to punish every act of disobedience, when once your submission has been put beyond question.

7 ilemong na idi cana ibunmine. Andi umong yina ayita nafo Kristi na yita nafo Kristiare wang.

Look these facts in the face. If any man is fully persuaded as regards himself that he belongs to Christ, let him consider again with himself, that just as he is Christ’s, so also am I.

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

If, however, I were to boast more loudly concerning the authority which the Lord gave me (not to cast you down, but to build you up), I should have no cause for shame.

9 Na indi nin su iyene nafo indin ziu minu nin miyert nin ba.

Let it not seem as if I were overawing you with my letters.

10 Bara amung din belun ''iyert me din ziu nin likr, bara na iyarnu adi nin nagan ba uliru na me lien ulazu ba “

"His letters indeed," says one, "are mighty and forcible, but his personality is weak, and his speech contemptible."

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 man assure himself that my actions, when I am present, will be just like my words in my letters when I am absent.

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.

I have not indeed the audacity to class myself among, or compare myself with, certain of the self-commenders; yet they are not wise in measuring themselves by one another and in comparing themselves with one another.

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.

I, however, will not indulge in undue boasting, but will confine it within the limits of the sphere to which God has assigned me - a sphere which reaches even to 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 I am not overstepping the limits of my authority, as though I reached you not; since I have already come even as far as Corinth to proclaim 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.

I am not "boasting beyond measure in the labors of others," but it is my hope that, as your faith goes on increasing among yourselves, by the enlargement of my appointed limits,

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.

I may carry the gospel to countries beyond you; and not be boasting of work made ready to my hand within another man’s limit.

17 Bara nanin ule na adin foo figiri na afoo figiri nanya Ucif.

Meanwhile. Let him who boasts, 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.

For a man is proved worthy, not by his self-commendation, but when he is commended by the Lord.
