2 Ukorintiyawa 12
1 Dole in foo figir, bara nani na mma se imong ku b, bara nani unuzu ina tiubun namoro nin belu nanya unuzun Cikilari.
If it is necessary (though certainly not expedient) to glory, then I will next tell of visions and revelations from the Lord.
2 Inyiru unit nanya Kristi nanya na kus tkure min nanase na ana kata sa nanya kidawo sa indas kidaw, nan meng yiru ba Kutelle yiru iwa yanghe udu nanya kitime kin taat.
I know a man in Christ, who, more than fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I do not know, or out of the body, I do not know: God knows), was enraptured to the third heaven.
3 Tutung inyiru umong unit sa naya kidawo sa indas kidawo, na meng yiru ba Kutelle yiru.
And I know a certain man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I do not know: God knows),
4 ulena iwa yonghe udu kitene ule na awa di nin imong ilau kang na umon wasa a benle ba.
who was enraptured into Paradise. And he heard words of mystery, which it is not permitted for man to speak.
5 Kitenen leli unitere men ma foo figiri. Bara na nma foo figiri nin litinin ba se dei bara lidarni ning.
On behalf of someone like this, I will glory. But on behalf of myself, I will not glory about anything, except my infirmities.
6 Andi indinin su in foo figiri. nan ma suo ulalan ba, bara idin belu kidegenere. Bara nani ima cinu ufoo figiri nanumon ba kpilizinu litinighe gbardan, na nafo idin yenju sa idin lanzuyi ba.
For even though I am willing to glory, I will not be foolish. But I will speak the truth. Yet I will do so sparingly, lest anyone may consider me to be anything more than what he sees in me, or anything more than what he hears from me.
7 Sa bara na mgbardan inda ciu mbele. Baranani na mma fiwu aba da nin fiwu liti ba i wa tiyifimat kidowo, kadura nnuzu shidtan idak ida firume, bara nwa foo figiri kang.
And lest the greatness of the revelations should extol me, there was given to me a prodding in my flesh: an angel of Satan, who struck me repeatedly.
8 Njun tat ina foo acara nin kiti Kutelle akalai mung ile imone nanya nin
Because of this, three times I petitioned the Lord that it might be taken away from me.
9 Amini na beli “ubolu nin batin fi” Bara na likara din kue naanya lidarne” too mma kpinu ufoo figiri nanya nanya lidarni ning bara likaara Kristin soo kitene ning
And he said to me: “My grace is sufficient for you. For virtue is perfected in weakness.” And so, willingly shall I glory in my weaknesses, so that the virtue of Christ may live within me.
10 Bara nani ubatine bara Krist, nanya lidarni, nanya nitop nnya nniy, nanya tinana nayii, nanya nkunekun, bara nani vat kubi kone diri likar, asa nta agang.
Because of this, I am pleased in my infirmity: in reproaches, in difficulties, in persecutions, in distresses, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am powerful.
11 In nasoo ulalan! anunghere natiy, bara anunghere wa ruyi, bara na nwa di ko cun kadas nang nadidiya nansn kadura ba barana mmen imonghari ba
I have become foolish; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you. For I have been nothing less than those who claim to be above the measure of Apostles, even though I am nothing.
12 Kidegen nalap nan kadura wadi kiti mine nin nayashau vat, alap nin nalajibi nin nitwa ni didiya.
And the seal of my Apostleship has been set over you, with all patience, with signs and wonders and miracles.
13 Bara na anung wadi iyiziari sa uanpani nafo nzisin natii alauw, bara na uwa so minu kutura ba? shawang ninmile utanue!
For what is there that you have had which is less than the other churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this injury.
14 Yeneng! Mba dak minu tutung unta, na ima lawu minu kutura ba bara na idinin su ni mong mine ba anunghere ndi nin suw. Nanono ba cisu bara acife ba bara nani acifari ba cisu bara n nono.
Behold, this is the third time I have prepared to come to you, and yet I will not be a burden to you. For I am seeking not the things that are yours, but you yourselves. And neither should the children store up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15 Nna yitu nin nayi abo kang in wultun bara anunghe uwa biiu usumine kang, ita usu ninghe baata?
And so, very willingly, I will spend and exhaust myself for the sake of your souls, loving you more, while being loved less.
16 Bara na udi nani, nanan ti minu kutura nati ba. Bara na meng di jinjin, mere na fo minu nin kinu.
And so be it. I have not burdened you, but instead, being astute, I obtained you by guile.
17 In wa di kitene mine na uwa tuu umong udak kiti mine.
And yet, did I defraud you by means of any of those whom I sent to you?
18 Iwa ti Titus ku adak kiti mine inin tuu kani gwane ninghe, Titus se wa di kitene mine? Na tiwa cinu libau lirumme baa? Na tiwa cinuu nin niti nirume ba?
I asked for Titus, and I sent a brother with him. Did Titus defraud you? Did we not walk with the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps?
19 Idin cisu kokube tidin sesu atibite kiti mine? Nbun Kutelle tidin nin Kristi mbelu vat nimon bara uke minere.
Have you ever thought that we should explain ourselves to you? We speak in the sight of God, in Christ. But all things, most beloved, are for your edification.
20 Idin cun fiu nwa dak nan mase minu nafo na idinin suwe, Na anung wang masai nafo na idinin suwe ba, au ti wase mayardang inshina nayi usu liti kubellum, ufoo figiri nin salin caunu.
Yet I fear, lest perhaps, when I have arrived, I might not find you such as I would want, and I might be found by you, such as you would not want. For perhaps there may be among you: contention, envy, animosity, dissension, detraction, whispering, self-exaltation, and rebellion.
21 Indin lanzu fiu nwa kpilin, Kutelle nighe uruu nighe kiti mine, mma nin gilu bara mgbardan mine naina malu ti kulapi nin burnu na inin na pizeru usunu nsalin lau nin nuzu nin na wani a hem nin su nimong nyi na iwadi isuzu ba.
If so, then, when I have arrived, God may again humble me among you. And so, I mourn for the many who sinned beforehand, and did not repent, over the lust and fornication and homosexuality, which they have committed.
