2 Ukorintiyawa 1

1 Bulus unan kadura Yesu Kristi nin su Kutelle, nin Timintawus gwana bit, udu kutii kulau korintiyawe, nin vat nanit alau nigbirin na ikilin acaiya.

[I], Paul, who [write this letter to you], became an apostle of Christ Jesus because God chose me for that. [Timothy, our] fellow believer, [is with me. I am sending this letter] to you who are God’s people in the congregations in Corinth [city. I want] the believers who live in [other places] in Achaia [province to also read this letter].

2 Ubolu Kutelle na uda kiti mine kibinayi kisheu unuzu KutelleUcif bite nin Cikilari Yesu Kristi.

[We(exc) desire] that you will [experience] God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ [acting] kindly toward you and causing you to have [inner] peace.

3 Na mmari Kutelle nin Cif ncikilari Yesu Kristi soo, ule na amereUcif ukunekune nin Kutelle nonko nibinayi,

[We should] praise God, who is the father of our [(inc)] Lord Jesus Christ. He always pities us and helps us [because he is like] [MET] a father to us [and we are like his children]. He always encourages us [(inc)].

4 Ulena adin nonkuzu nibinaiyi bite nanya piwu nibinaiyi bite arik nonko among ale na nibinaiyi mine piya nin nonku nibinai na Kutelle na ma nonku nari mun nibinaibit.

He has encouraged us [(exc)] whenever we suffered hardships. As a result, we [(exc)] are able to encourage others whenever they suffer hardships, just as/just like God has encouraged us [(exc)].

5 Bara nafo uniyu Kristi karin bara arik nenere ununkuzu nibinayi bite karin nanya Kristi.

It is true that just like Christ suffered, we [who serve him] also continually suffer [because we belong to him]. But also, because we [belong to] Christ, God greatly strengthens us (just as/just like) [God strengthened him].

6 Bara nanin tiwa se upiwu nibinaiyi usuu utucunin nin nonku nibinayi nenere. Sa i wa nonku nibinayi bite unfe unon ku nibinayari, ulena udi na uwa da lanza uniuwe nannarik.

So, whenever we [(exc)] experience sufferings, we [learn how to encourage] you [when you experience sufferings. As a result, you will become more and more the kind of people God] wants you to be. Whenever [God] strengthens us [(exc) when we are suffering, he] does that in order that you [may see how he makes us strong when we are suffering. Then, as God] encourages [you in that way], you will learn to continue patiently [trusting him] when you suffer as we do.

7 Nin nayi akone bite kitife nyisina nin yiru nafo na una neu nan narik tutung nenere unonku nibinaye.

As a result, we [(exc)] strongly expect that because you suffer just as/just like we do, [God] will encourage you (just as/just like) [he] encourages us.

8 Bara na ti dinin su tiso sa uyiru ba linwana mbeleng na tiwase nanya Asiya; iwa naulin nari nafo na ti wasa ti tere nibinai ba kan har tiwa nutun nibinai sa tim ati ulai.

[Our] fellow believers, we [(exc)] want you to know [LIT] about the trouble that we suffered in Asia [province]. That trouble was so very great that it was much more than we were able to endure. As a result, we [(exc)] thought that we would certainly die.

9 Nin nene iwa tinari tishot inkul nati bite bara nanin i wadin yenju nati mase likara kibinai nati bite ba inmaimako kiti Kutelle ulena ana fiya abi.

Indeed, we felt [like a person feels when he has heard a judge say], “I condemn you to die/be executed [MET].” But [God allowed us to think that we were going to die] so that we would not (rely on/trust in) our own [strength. He wanted us] instead [to rely] only on his [strength, because he] is the one who [has power even to make] those who have died live [again].

10 Awa tucu nari nanyang kul nijas, ama kuru atucu nari tutun. Ti kotina ayibit kitene me tutung ama nutu nari

And [even though] we [(exc)] were [in terrible danger and were] about to die, God rescued us. And he will continue to rescue us [whenever we are in trouble]. We confidently expect that he will continue to rescue us [time after time].

11 Ama su nari nani i wa bun nari nanya nlira anit gbardan ba daduru liburi liboo iyisunu bite bara ubolsu Kutelle na ana ninari nanya nlira na nit gbardan.

[And we are also relying on] you to help us by praying for us [(exc)]. [If many people pray for us], many people will also thank [God] when [he] kindly answers those many prayers [and delivers us from danger].

12 Nene ilelere ti din fo figiri mung ushaida yiru bite ule na arik wa su nin nati bite nanya yi. Tiwa su nanin bara kata yinu nin lau nin kidegere na wa nuzu kiti Kutelle na nafo kujinjin yii ulele bara nanin inuzu ballu Kutelle.

I am happy [to say] that I have behaved toward all people [MTY] in an honest and sincere way. My conscience assures me [that this is true]. Especially, I have behaved toward you [honestly and sincerely because that is what] God wants us to do. As I have done that, [my thoughts] have not been the thoughts that unbelieving people [MTY] [think are] wise. Instead, [I have behaved toward people only as God wants me to, depending on] God to help me in ways that I do not deserve.

13 Na tidin yarti minu imonile na iwa sa ibele sa uyinin ba indi nin likara kibinai tutung.

[I say that] because [in all my letters to you] I have always written [LIT] clearly in a way that you can easily and completely understand [when you] read them.

14 Nafo na ina malin yinu nari likot, lirum au lirin Cilkilari bite Yesu tina yite udalilin fizu nabanda mine nafo na anung ba yitu unbit.

[Previously some of] you, but not all of you, have completely understood [that I am always honest and sincere with you]. But I confidently expect that [soon] you will all be fully convinced [about that]. Then when the Lord Jesus [MTY] [returns, you will all be able to say that] you are pleased with me, just like I will [be able to say that] I am pleased with you.

15 Bara nan wadi nin likara kibinai nilele iwa din nin su indak kitefe nin burnu, au unan sere mbang inse na mara aba.

It was because I felt sure [that all of you were pleased with me] that I was planning to visit you on my way from [here] to Macedonia [province]. I also planned to visit you again on my way back from there, so that I could [spend time with you] twice, and be able to help you more, and I was hoping that you would [give me things that I needed] [EUP] for my journey to Judea [province].

16 Iwa di woru inlasin kit fe cindu Umakidaniya inkueu mda yene fi cin sa Unuzu Makidoniya nani fe nin tiyi ndina udu Ujudia.

17 Kubi kona iwa din kpilzu nan, iwa belin kibinai fe? sa uwa yinan miu nin kibinai unitan, bara in woro fi ''ee ee” nin “babu babu”kube kurume?

So then, even though I [changed my mind later and did not do what] I [first] planned to do, [it was not because I did not have an important reason for changing my plans]. Surely you do not [really think] that I decide what I am going to do like people who do not know God do! [RHQ] I am [not like that]. I am not [a person who] says [to people], “Yes, [certainly I will do that],” and then [for no good reason changes his mind and says], “No, [I will not do it].”

18 Bara nanin nafo na Kutelle unan yinnu sa uyenu nati wasa ti woro “ee” nin “babu” ba.

Just as surely as God always does what he says [he will do, it is true that I have never said], “Yes, [I will do this]” when I [really meant] “No.”

19 Bara gono Kutelle Yesu Kirst, ule na Silvanus Timitawus nin mi na beling naya min, na ame “ee “nin ''babu” ba bara nani ame ee wari vat kubi.

[I follow the example of] God’s Son, Jesus Christ. When I, along with Silas and Timothy, taught you [about Christ], we told you that he was not [someone who said that he] would do [something] and [then] did not [do it]. Jesus Christ never [said to anyone], “Yes, [I will do what you desire],” and [then did] not [do it].

20 Bara vat nalikawali Kutelle ''ee' wari nanya me baranani nanya me asa ti wuru uso nani udu uzazu Kutelle.

[We(inc) know that is true], because everything that God promised to do [for his people], he has done completely by [sending] Christ [to save us]. That is why we say, “Yes, it is true! [God has done everything that he promised to do]!” And we praise him for that!

21 Nene Kutelleri munu nari nanya Kristi nin narik.

Now it is only God himself who causes us [(exc)], as well as you, to keep on [believing] strongly in Christ. God is the one who chose us [(inc) to belong to him and to have a close relationship] with Christ.

22 Ana tursu nari nin na gilet me na ni nari Ifip nanya nibinai bite minin so kulap ni mele na ama da ninari nin dandaunu.

He also sent his Holy Spirit into our [(inc)] lives to mark us as belonging to himself [MET]. Also, since he has sent his Spirit to live in us [(inc)], [he wants us to know by this that] he guarantees [MET] [to give us every other] ([blessing/good thing]) [that he has promised].

23 Nin nanin ina yicila Kutelle aso unan nizi iba ning bara imele na inati nan daa u Kurintiya ba bara inan unan tucu fiari.

So now [I will tell you why I changed my mind and did not visit you as I intended to do]: God himself knows [that what I am telling you is true]. The reason that I did not return to Corinth was so that I might not have to [speak to you severely about the wrong that you had done].

24 Na bara ti di nin su wuru timiin uyenu sa uyenu b, bara na tidi katwa nin yenu sa uyenu miner, bara mmag min, nayinsin nanya yinnu sa uyenu

It is not that Silas, Timothy and I want to boss you [and tell you that you must] believe only what we say. [Not at all]! On the contrary, we [(exc)] are working as partners [with you] in order to make you happy. [We do not try to force you to believe everything that we believe, because we are sure that you are continuing to] trust [the Lord Jesus Christ] and that you are remaining firmly committed to him.
