2 Ukorintiyawa 11
1 nin s, iso nin mi kitini nin tong tilalang ton, bara nani idin suzuku nin mi!
I could wish that you would tolerate a little folly in me! But indeed you do tolerate me.
2 Bara men dinin liyarin nati mine indi nin liyarin Kutelle bara anun, in wa timinu likawali niligma nin les urum I nakpa minu nafo kubura kulau kitin Krist.
I am jealous over you with the jealousy of God. For I betrothed you to one husband, that I might present you to the Christ a pure bride.
3 Bara nanin indin lanzu fiu nafo na fiyii wa rusuzo uwane nin kujinjin me ukpilzu mine wasa udu unkonkusari unuzu kidegen ghe nin lau nlira mine udu Kristi.
Yet I fear that it may turn out that, just as the Serpent by his craftiness deceived Eve, so your minds may have lost the loyalty and purity due from you to the Christ.
4 Baqra umong wa dak ada belin minu ubeelen Yesu bani lele natidin belin minu, sa nin seru mun ifip migan nin moo na ni seru, sa umon uliru dabam ulena ina mali seru. yenjen ile mone kang.
For, if some new-comer is proclaiming a Jesus other than him whom we proclaimed, or if you are receiving a Spirit different from the Spirit which you received, or a Good News different from that which you welcomed, then you are marvellously tolerant!
5 Bara na indin kpilizu au nan di nanya na baat ananzang udu aleli “anan kadura adidiabYesu.”
I do not regard myself as in any way inferior to the most eminent Apostles!
6 Bara nani sa ko na inaserun udursuzu in suzu nliru b, na ina se udursuzu inyinu b. Nanya ko kame libau nin nanya nimon vat tina belin minu iyinin.
Though I am no trained orator, yet I am not without knowledge; indeed we made this perfectly clear to you in every way.
7 Ina ti kulapi na ina toltunughe bara inan ygantin minu, bara na indin belu minu uliru Kutelle sa ubiziya?
Perhaps you say that I did wrong in humbling myself that you might be exalted — I mean because I told you God’s Good News without payment.
8 Idin bulsu imon na mong atii alau bara inan da minu katwa mun.
I robbed other churches by taking pay from them, so that I might serve you!
9 kona iwa di nan ghin, iwa dinin bukat, na iwa ti umon ti kanci b, Bara ubukata ni nuzu kiti linwana ale iwa nuzu kusarin Makidoniya. nan nanya nimon kap iwa ceu litinin kitin ti mong timinu kanci, mmini ma li ubun suu nani.
And, when I was with you in need, I did not become a burden to any of you; for our Brothers, on coming from Macedonia, supplied my needs. I kept myself, and will keep myself from being an expense to you in any way.
10 Nafo na kidegen Kristi di nanya ni, ufo figiri ulena men na uma so tik ba nanya tikot, nafo Achin.
As surely as I know anything of the Truth of Christ, this boast, as far as I am concerned, shall not be stopped in any part of Greece.
11 Barin yang? bara na indi nin suu mine baa? Kutelle yiru idinin suu mine.
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows that I do!
12 Bara ilemon na idin su, na mma kuru su, inaqre ima li ubung insue bara inan tursu tunu nanan nale na idinin su tiyita arumme nin foo figiri.
What I am doing now I shall continue to do, that I may cut away the ground from under those who are wishing for some ground for attacking me, so that as regards the thing of which they boast they may appear in their true characters, just as we do.
13 musu nanit ane anan kadura kinuwari, anan katwa kirusuza in sakizu timuro mine nafo anan kaduran Kristi.
Men of this stamp are false apostles, treacherous workers, disguising themselves as Apostles of Christ!
14 Na ulele imon ipesari b, bara na shitan wang din sakizu kidowa me nafo gono kadura Kutelle unan kanang.
And no wonder; for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of Light.
15 Na ile mone imon ipeseri kan ba andi ann katwa me ma yiti nafo nono lilaure. Ligan mine ma yitu nafo matiza mine na ise.
It is not surprising, therefore, if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of Righteousness. But their end will be in accordance with their actions.
16 In kurun bele: umon nwa su naya kibinai me meng ulalanghari b. Bara na uwa su sereni na fo ulalangha bara inan foo figiri bite.
I say again — Let no one think me a fool! Yet, if you do, at least welcome me as you would a fool, that I, too may indulge in a little boasting.
17 Ile mong na indin bele mbeleng foo figiri na u serimku kiti ncif ba bara na idin liru nafo ulalang.
When I speak thus, I am not speaking as the Master would, but as a fool might, in boasting so confidently.
18 Uwonru, anit gbardan na foo figiri nanya kidawo, men ma ma tutun foo figir.
As so many are boasting of earthly things, I, too, will boast.
19 Bara na anin susin nayaboo nan nalalan, na idi jijin ati mine.
For all your cleverness, you tolerate fools willingly enough!
20 Bara na u susin nin mong na a wa tifi licin awa kusufi nan na dondo, awa kata fi awa din fun, sa awa reu fi ummuro.
You tolerate a man even when he enslaves you, when he plunders you, when he gets you into his power, when he puts on airs of superiority, when he strikes you in the face!
21 Indin liru nin cin bara na arik wa di seen insu ni leli imone nin nani vat kubi ko na umong reu figiri indi liri nafo ulala menn wang reu fiiri.
I admit, to my shame, that we have been weak. But whatever the subject on which others are not afraid to boast — though it is foolish to say so — I am not afraid either!
22 Inung a Ibraniyawara? menwang nenere. Israilawa? menwang naner. inun nanuzu kuwunu Abrahamari? menwang.
Are they Hebrews? So am I! Are they Israelites? So am I! Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I!
23 acin Kristiari? [indin liru nafo ule na lite duku ba] Meng katin katin nanya ti kibinai katw, piit nanya lici, nanya foo salin bat, nanya yenju nimong zikiki in kul.
Are they ‘Servants of Christ’? Though it is madness to talk like this, I am more so than they! I have had more of toil, more of imprisonment! I have been flogged times without number. I have been often at death’s door.
24 Unuzu na Yahudawa in wa sara “tishon akut anas sa lirum.''
Five times I received at the hands of the Jews forty lashes, all but one.
25 Sau titat i wa kpizii nin nkuru iwa filisiyi sau urum i wa tii inneu sau tita, in wa yerin in moro nfang nanya nteku.
Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. I have spent a whole day and night in the deep.
26 Incin gbarda, nin nigingawa ni nanzaang nanya ti tidana nakiri, nanyan nnanzan nin nabit nin nanya nnanzang nan nawurimi nanya nananzan nanya kipi, nananzang kusshuo nanya nnazan ntek, nanya nnanzag nnuzu nuana kinu.
My journeys have been many. I have been through dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in towns, dangers in the country, dangers on the sea, dangers among false Brothers.
27 Iwadi ktwa nijasi nin nanya nijas, nanya kiitik sa mmor, nanya kupe nin kotu nayi nin sali ni nimonlii, nanya tituwui fisere.
I have been through toil and hardship. I have passed many a sleepless night; I have endured hunger and thirst; I have often been without food; I have known cold and nakedness.
28 Banin ni mun va, upardinu kitene ning vat liri kitine nin bara kibinai nighe di bara atii alau at.
And, not to speak of other things, there is my daily burden of anxiety about all the Churches.
29 Ghari sali nin likara na meng nin sali munba? nghari ta umong deu nanga kulap, na meng juju kkidowo nin ghe ba?
Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led astray without my burning with indignation?
30 Andi nma reu figir, nma reu figiri bara ile imong na idurui lidarni ning
If I must boast, I will boast of things which show my weakness!
31 Kutelle nin Cif Cikilari Yes, ame ule na idin rughe sa ligan, yiru nan din belu kinu ba! (aiōn g165)
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus — he who is for ever blessed — knows that I am speaking the truth. (aiōn g165)
32 Kusarin Damaskus, ugumna nacaran ngo Aretas wadi nca kagbirin Damaskus bara inan kifai
When I was in Damascus, the Governor under King Aretas had the gates of that city guarded, so as to arrest me,
33 Bara nani inutuni kibulun kibene nanya kugbetu likii in nin cuu na cara me.
but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and so escaped his hands.
