2 Ukorintiyawa 13

1 Ulele untatari naidin dasu kiti min, “an wabaa sa an watat nwa ti iyizi imba ulirun soo vat ni lemong na iibenle”

For the third time I am coming to see you. By the word of two or three witnesses each statement will be established.

2 Iwa malun benlu minu alee na isu kulapi nin kidung udu va mine kubi kon aiwa diku udakin baa mmini kuru benle: andi daa tutung na ima cinu nanin ba.

I have said it, and I say it again before I come, just as if I were with you on my second visit, though for the moment absent, I say to those who have been long sinning, as well as to all others – that if I come again, I will spare no one.

3 In belin minu ule na bara na idin piziru iyizi in ba au Kristi din liru nanya ning Na a dira likara nanya mine ba nmanimako adi nin likara nanya mine.

And that will be the proof, which you are looking for, that the Christ speaks through me. There is no weakness in his dealings with you. No, he shows his power among you.

4 Bara na iwa banaghe nin sali likara bara nani adi nin lai nin likara Kutelle. Bara na arik sali nin likara nanya m, bara nini ti ba yitu nin lai ninghe me. likara Kutelle nanya mine.

For though his crucifixion was due to weakness, his life is due to the power of God. And we, also, are weak in his weakness, but with him we will live for you through the power of God.

5 Dumunang atimine iyene sa idi nanya yenu sa uyun. Gbardan atimin. Na i iyiru ba Yesu Kristi di nanya mine. Aduku sai dai na iyiru mun ba

Put yourselves to the test, to see whether you are holding to the faith. Examine yourselves. Surely you recognize this fact about yourselves – that Jesus Christ is in you! Unless indeed you cannot stand the test!

6 Mang di nin nayi akune au i ma yinu na isa yina nin narik b.

But I hope that you will recognize that we can stand the test.

7 Nene ti dinin nlira cindu kiti Kutelle au na i wa se i utanu ba andi na nani ba imase ti lau udumun, au bara nani in taa nlira inan su ilemon na ica, imoti tima yenu nafo ti deu udumune

We pray to God that you may do nothing wrong, not that we may be seen to stand the test, but that you may do what is right, even though we may seem not to stand the test.

8 Bara tiwa gya tisu imomo usa bani kidegen, bara kidegenere kawai.

We have no power at all against the truth, but we have power in the service of the truth.

9 Asa ti lanza mmang bara na arik ndiri anun nin kulun. Tinani kuru ti taa nlira au i se minu kulum

We are glad when we are weak, if you are strong. And what we pray for is that you may become perfect.

10 Indin yertu nilele bara na ndi piit nan ghen, bara na nwadi nanghinu na mma yitu gbagbai nati mine b, insu katwa nin likara lo na ucif nay inke minu kokuwa in musuzu minu ba

This is my reason for writing as I am now doing, while I am away from you, so that, when I am with you, I may not act harshly in the exercise of the authority which the Lord gave me – and gave me for building up and not for pulling down.

11 Nimalin, nwana ni lime nin nishono taan ayi aboo! sun katwa bara ukurtuzun, sun nin nibinai likara yinnan nin nwana nat, sun nanya ncanam nibinai, Kutelle su nin shau kibinai ba yitu ligowe nan ghenu.

And now, friends, goodbye. Aim at perfection; take courage; agree together; live in peace. And then God, the source of all love and peace, will be with you.

12 Lison vat mine nin nilip ngbindirnu

Greet one another with a sacred kiss.

13 Vat anan yinnu sa uyenu din lisu minu

All Christ’s people here send you their greetings.

14 Ubolu Kutelle Ncif Yesu Kristi usu Kutelle, nin lidondon Nfip milau yita nan ghenu vat.

May the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion with the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
