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.
It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast; still, I will go on to 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 fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or outside of it, I do not know, God knows.
3 Tutung inyiru umong unit sa naya kidawo sa indas kidawo, na meng yiru ba Kutelle yiru.
Yes, I know such a man—whether in the body or outside of it, 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.
how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that a man is not permitted to tell.
5 Kitenen leli unitere men ma foo figiri. Bara na nma foo figiri nin litinin ba se dei bara lidarni ning.
I can boast about someone like that, but not about myself, unless it be my weakness.
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.
Now even if I wanted to go on boasting, I would not be stupid but speak the truth; but I refrain, so that no one will think more of me than what he sees in me and 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.
Because of the incredible importance of the revelations, to keep me from feeling too important, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to beat on me—to keep me from feeling too important.
8 Njun tat ina foo acara nin kiti Kutelle akalai mung ile imone nanya nin
Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart 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
But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more cheerfully about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may take up residence upon 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.
So then, I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
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 been boasting foolishly, but you drove me to it. I ought to have been commended by you, because in nothing have I been inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
12 Kidegen nalap nan kadura wadi kiti mine nin nayashau vat, alap nin nalajibi nin nitwa ni didiya.
Truly the apostolic signs were produced among you with all perseverance, by 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!
Now in just what were you treated as inferior, compared to the other congregations, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong.
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.
Well now, I am ready to come to you a third time, and I will still not burden you, because I want you, not your things—children should not have to save up for parents, but parents for children.
15 Nna yitu nin nayi abo kang in wultun bara anunghe uwa biiu usumine kang, ita usu ninghe baata?
So I will gladly spend and be spent for the sake of your souls, even if the more I love you the less I am loved.
16 Bara na udi nani, nanan ti minu kutura nati ba. Bara na meng di jinjin, mere na fo minu nin kinu.
‘Ok, ok, I didn't burden you, but being crafty I took you by deception.’
17 In wa di kitene mine na uwa tuu umong udak kiti mine.
Come now, did I actually take advantage of you by 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 urged Titus and sent the brother along—did Titus take any advantage of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit, in the same footprints?
19 Idin cisu kokube tidin sesu atibite kiti mine? Nbun Kutelle tidin nin Kristi mbelu vat nimon bara uke minere.
Do you still think that we are defending ourselves to you? It is before God we speak, in Christ; but all of it, dear ones, is with a view to 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.
Yes, I am afraid that when I come I may not find you such as I wish, and you not find me such as you wish—may there be no strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, factions, slanders, gossipings, conceits, disorders—
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.
that when I come again my God may not humble me before you, and I will mourn for many who have previously sinned and not repented of the impurity and fornication and licentiousness which they practiced.
