2 Ukorintiyawa 11
1 nin s, iso nin mi kitini nin tong tilalang ton, bara nani idin suzuku nin mi!
I wish you could have borne with a little foolish boasting on my part. Nay, do bear with 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 God's own jealousy. For I have betrothed you to Christ to present you to Him like a faithful bride to her one husband.
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.
But I am afraid that, as the serpent in his craftiness deceived Eve, so your minds may be led astray from their single-heartedness and their fidelity to 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.
If indeed some visitor is proclaiming among you another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or if you are receiving a Spirit different from the One you have already received or a Good News different from that which you have already welcomed, your toleration is admirable!
5 Bara na indin kpilizu au nan di nanya na baat ananzang udu aleli “anan kadura adidiabYesu.”
Why, I reckon myself in no respect inferior to those superlatively great 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.
And if in the matter of speech I am no orator, yet in knowledge I am not deficient. Nay, we have in every way made that fully evident to you.
7 Ina ti kulapi na ina toltunughe bara inan ygantin minu, bara na indin belu minu uliru Kutelle sa ubiziya?
Is it a sin that I abased myself in order for you to be exalted, in that I proclaimed God's Good News to you without fee or reward?
8 Idin bulsu imon na mong atii alau bara inan da minu katwa mun.
Other Churches I robbed, receiving pay from them in order to do you service.
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 and my resources failed, there was no one to whom I became a burden--for the brethren when they came from Macedonia fully supplied my wants--and I kept myself from being in the least a burden to you, and will do so still.
10 Nafo na kidegen Kristi di nanya ni, ufo figiri ulena men na uma so tik ba nanya tikot, nafo Achin.
Christ knows that it is true when I say that I will not be stopped from boasting of this anywhere in Greece.
11 Barin yang? bara na indi nin suu mine baa? Kutelle yiru idinin suu mine.
And 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.
But I will persist in the same line of conduct in order to cut the ground from under the feet of those who desire an opportunity of getting themselves recognized as being on a level with us in the matters about which they boast.
13 musu nanit ane anan kadura kinuwari, anan katwa kirusuza in sakizu timuro mine nafo anan kaduran Kristi.
For men of this stamp are sham apostles, dishonest workmen, assuming the garb of 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. Satan, their master, can disguise 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 therefore no great thing for his servants also to disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. 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.
To return to what I was saying. Let no one suppose that I am foolish. Or if you must, at any rate make allowance for me as being foolish, in order that I, as well as they, may boast a little.
17 Ile mong na indin bele mbeleng foo figiri na u serimku kiti ncif ba bara na idin liru nafo ulalang.
What I am now saying, I do not say by the Lord's command, but as a fool in his folly might, in this reckless boasting.
18 Uwonru, anit gbardan na foo figiri nanya kidawo, men ma ma tutun foo figir.
Since many boast for merely human reasons, I too will boast.
19 Bara na anin susin nayaboo nan nalalan, na idi jijin ati mine.
Wise as you yourselves are, you find pleasure in tolerating fools.
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.
For you tolerate it, if any one enslaves you, lives at your expense, makes off with your property, gives himself airs, or strikes you on 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 use the language of self-disparagement, as though I were admitting our own feebleness. Yet for whatever reason any one is 'courageous' --I speak in mere folly--I also am courageous.
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? (I speak as if I were out of my mind.) Much more am I His servant; serving Him more thoroughly than they by my labours, and more thoroughly also by my imprisonments, by excessively cruel floggings, and with risk of life many a time.
24 Unuzu na Yahudawa in wa sara “tishon akut anas sa lirum.''
From the Jews I five times have received 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 have been beaten with Roman rods, once I have been stoned, three times I have been shipwrecked, once for full four and twenty hours I was floating on the open sea.
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.
I have served Him by frequent travelling, amid dangers in crossing rivers, dangers from robbers; dangers from my own countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles; dangers in the city, dangers in the Desert, dangers by sea, dangers from spies in our midst;
27 Iwadi ktwa nijasi nin nanya nijas, nanya kiitik sa mmor, nanya kupe nin kotu nayi nin sali ni nimonlii, nanya tituwui fisere.
with labour and toil, with many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, in frequent fastings, in cold, and with insufficient clothing.
28 Banin ni mun va, upardinu kitene ning vat liri kitine nin bara kibinai nighe di bara atii alau at.
And besides other things, which I pass over, there is that which presses on me daily--my anxiety for 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, and I am not weak? Who is led astray into sin, and I am not aflame with indignation?
30 Andi nma reu figir, nma reu figiri bara ile imong na idurui lidarni ning
If boast I must, it shall be of things which display 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 our Lord Jesus Christ--He who is blessed throughout the Ages--knows that I am speaking the truth. (aiōn g165)
32 Kusarin Damaskus, ugumna nacaran ngo Aretas wadi nca kagbirin Damaskus bara inan kifai
In Damascus the governor under King Aretas kept guards at the gates of the city in order to apprehend me,
33 Bara nani inutuni kibulun kibene nanya kugbetu likii in nin cuu na cara me.
but through an opening in the wall I was let down in a basket, and so escaped his hands.
