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.
Surely it is not beneficial for me to boast, yet 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 it was in the body or out of the body I do not know; God knows.)
3 Tutung inyiru umong unit sa naya kidawo sa indas kidawo, na meng yiru ba Kutelle yiru.
And I know that this 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.
was caught up to Paradise and heard words too sacred to be spoken, which man is not permitted to utter.
5 Kitenen leli unitere men ma foo figiri. Bara na nma foo figiri nin litinin ba se dei bara lidarni ning.
I will boast on behalf of that man, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except about my weaknesses.
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.
But even if I wanted to boast, I would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth. Nevertheless, I refrain so that no one will think more of me than what he sees in me or 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 to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations I received, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me so that I would not become conceited.
8 Njun tat ina foo acara nin kiti Kutelle akalai mung ile imone nanya nin
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it 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
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for yoʋ, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest 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 I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, and in distresses for the sake of Christ. 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 become a fool by boasting; you compelled me to do it. I ought to have been commended by you, for in no way have I been inferior to these “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.
12 Kidegen nalap nan kadura wadi kiti mine nin nayashau vat, alap nin nalajibi nin nitwa ni didiya.
The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with great perseverance, with signs, 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!
In what way were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this injustice!
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, I am ready to come to you a third time, and I will not burden you, for I do not seek what belongs to you, but you yourselves. For children are not obligated to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
15 Nna yitu nin nayi abo kang in wultun bara anunghe uwa biiu usumine kang, ita usu ninghe baata?
So I will most gladly spend and be entirely 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.
Be that as it may, I did not burden you. But crafty fellow that I am, I apparently took you in by deceit!
17 In wa di kitene mine na uwa tuu umong udak kiti mine.
Did I take advantage of you through any of the men 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 to visit you and sent our brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit and in the same footsteps?
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? In the sight of God we are speaking in Christ, and everything we do, beloved, is 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.
For I fear that when I come I may not find you as I wish, and that you may not find me as you wish. I fear that there may be quarrels, jealousies, fits of anger, selfish ambitions, insults, words of gossip, puffed up behaviors, and disorderly actions.
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.
I fear that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I may have to mourn over many who have previously sinned and not repented of the impurity, fornication, and sensuality they have practiced.
