2 Corinthians 1

1 To the church of God in Corinth, and to all Christ’s people throughout Greece, from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, and from Timothy, who is also a follower.

Susura ia mia au, Paulus. Lamatualain denu au uu sia bee-bꞌee fo ufadꞌe atahori ra soꞌal Yesus Kristus, fo Lamatuaꞌ dudꞌu memaꞌ mia lele uluꞌ a. Hita odꞌin Timotius o sia ia boe. Ana helu hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ. Au suraꞌ susura ia fee basa atahori mamahereꞌ mana soa raꞌabꞌueꞌ sia kota Korintus ma sia profinsi Akaya.

2 May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

Au hule-oꞌe mbali Lamatualain, naeni hita Aman, no Yesus Kristus, naeni hita Lamatuan. Au hule fo ratudꞌu rala malole nara neu nggi, naa fo misodꞌa no nee-nee lino-lino ma mole-dame.

3 Blessed is the God and Father of Jesus Christ our Lord, the all-merciful Father, the God ever ready to console,

Hai hiiꞌ a basa atahori soꞌu rananaru Lamatualain naran. Huu Eni, hita Lamatuan Yesus Kristus Aman. Basa rala susueꞌ ra raꞌoka mia Eni, boe ma Eni hiiꞌ a tao manggatee rala tara.

4 who consoles us in all our troubles, so that we may be able to console those who are in any trouble with the consolation that we ourselves receive from him.

Mete ma hita hambu sususaꞌ, na Eni mana tao namahoꞌo nggita. Naeni de hita o bisa tao tamahoꞌo atahori laen mana hambu sususaꞌ. Hita bisa tao manggatee rala nara, onaꞌ Lamatuaꞌ tao manggatee rala tara boe.

5 It is true that we have our full share of the sufferings of the Christ, but through the Christ we have also our full share of consolation.

Kristus hambu sususaꞌ naen seli fee hita ena. Dadꞌi, huu Kristus namedꞌa doidꞌosoꞌ mataꞌ naa ena, naeni de mete ma hita hambu sususaꞌ na, Ana tao manggatee rala tara.

6 If we meet with trouble, it is for the sake of your consolation and salvation; and, if we find consolation, it is for the sake of the consolation that you will experience when you are called to endure the sufferings that we ourselves are enduring;

Mete ma hai sia ia hambu sususaꞌ na, Lamatualain tao manggatee hai rala mara. Ma mete ma hai hambu sususaꞌ, ma hai miꞌitataaꞌ no rala nemehoꞌot, na, hei o musi mihine mae, Lamatuaꞌ pake dalaꞌ naa fo tao manggatee rala mara, ma mboꞌi nggi mia deꞌulakaꞌ. Huu mete ma hei hambu sususaꞌ onaꞌ hai boe, Lamatuaꞌ tao manggatee rala mara, fo ama bisa miꞌitataaꞌ no rala nemehoꞌot.

7 and our hope for you remains unshaken. We know that, as you are sharing our sufferings, you will also share our consolation.

Naeni de hai mimihere mae, hei bisa miꞌitataaꞌ mihereꞌ nda minggongga sa. Huu hai bubꞌuluꞌ mae, mete ma hei hambu sususaꞌ onaꞌ hai, na Lamatuaꞌ tao manggatee rala mara, ma Ana o tao manggatee hai rala mara boe.

8 We want you, friends, to know that, in the troubles which befell us in Roman Asia, we were burdened altogether beyond our strength, so much so that we even despaired of life.

Toronoo nggara e! Hai hihii mara hei mihine tebꞌe soꞌal sususaꞌ fo hai hambu sia profinsi Asia. Hai medꞌa beran seli, lenaꞌ hai aru-lelembam. De helaꞌ a mbei fo hai masaloe, huu duꞌa mae, hai maeꞌ a mate ena.

9 Indeed, we had the presentiment that we must die, so that we might rely, not on ourselves, but on God who raises the dead.

Hai o medꞌa beran seli, onaꞌ atahori sa feꞌe na rena mana maꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat naꞌetuꞌ hukun mate neu e. Te basa naa ra dadꞌi, fo tamahere neu Lamatualain, afiꞌ tamahere neu ao tara. Te Lamatuaꞌ naa, naꞌena koasa fo tao nasodꞌa baliꞌ atahori mates ra.

10 And from so imminent a death God delivered us, and will deliver us again; for in him we have placed our hopes of future deliverance, while you, also, help us by your prayers.

Eni mana mboꞌi nggita mia deꞌulakaꞌ, leleꞌ taeꞌ a mate. Dei fo Eni o nau mboꞌi nggita mia deꞌulakaꞌ. Hita tamahena tahereꞌ tae, dei fo Ana mboꞌi nggita mia dala deꞌulakaꞌ ra nakandooꞌ a

11 And then many lips will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us in answer to many prayers.

Mete ma hei hule-oꞌe mikindooꞌ a fee hai, naa o tulu-fali hai boe, te Lamatualain nae tao fee hai dala maloleꞌ hetar. Ana nae tao taꞌo naa, huu atahori hetar hule-oꞌe fee hai. Ma leleꞌ atahori hetar rasanedꞌa hai, na ara roꞌe makasi naen seli neu E.

12 Indeed, our main ground for satisfaction is this – Our conscience tells us that our conduct in the world, and still more in our relations with you, was marked by a purity of motive and a sincerity that were inspired by God, and was based, not on worldly policy, but on the help of God.

Hai bisa olaꞌ koao, huu hai bubꞌuluꞌ sia rala mara mae, saa fo hai tao sia raefafoꞌ ia, tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihiin fee hai. Hai nda dinggoꞌ hela ue-tataos naa sa, naa fo basa atahori rita hai ue-tao no rala meuꞌ. Hai o milalao ue-tatao mara, mendiꞌ mahineꞌ laoꞌ mia Lamatualain, nda mendiꞌ mahineꞌ mana naꞌoka sia raefafoꞌ ia sa. Huu Lamatuaꞌ natudꞌu rala malolen neu hai. Naeni de hai tao ues manggate lenaꞌ, leleꞌ miꞌibꞌue mo nggi.

13 We never write anything to you other than what you will acknowledge to the very end –

Au suraꞌ fee nggiꞌ a soꞌal dala-dalaꞌ fo ama bisa baca ma mihine. Ia naa hei mihine au masud ngga ruma ena. Te au umuhena, dei fo hei mihine no matetu-manadꞌaiꞌ.

14 And, indeed, you have already partly acknowledged it about us – that you have a right to be proud of us, as we will be proud of you, on the day of our Lord Jesus.

Ia naa, hei feꞌe mihine mbeiꞌ a soꞌal hai. Te dei fo, mete ma hita Lamatuan Yesus Kristus baliꞌ nema, na, au umuhere hei mihine naeꞌ ena. No taꞌo naa, hei bisa olaꞌ koao soꞌal hai, onaꞌ hai o olaꞌ koao soꞌal hei.

15 With this conviction in my mind, I planned to come to see you first, so that your pleasure might be doubled –

Huu au umuhere hei mihine dalaꞌ ia ra, naa de maꞌahulun au parna uꞌetuꞌ ae eti seluꞌ sia nggi, naa fo ama bisa hambu papala-babꞌanggiꞌ lao rua.

16 To visit you both on my way to Macedonia, and to come to you again on my return from Macedonia, and then to get you to send me on my way into Judea.

Dadꞌi dalahulun au duꞌa, mete ma au dadꞌi eti sia profinsi Makedonia, na, au bisa tuli fo seꞌu ita nggi. Basa fo au baliꞌ mia Makedonia, au bisa tuli seluꞌ nggi. No taꞌo naa, hei bisa tulu-fali au, fo au bisa lao ukundoo profinsi Yudea uu. Te au nda dadꞌi tuli hei sa.

17 As this was my plan, where, pray, did I show any fickleness of purpose? Or do you think that my plans are formed on mere impulse, so that in the same breath I say “Yes” and “No”?

Leleꞌ au ufadꞌe ae, au ae eti seꞌu nggi, au tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ ae eti seꞌu nggi. Au nda uꞌetuꞌ dalaꞌ ia tunggaꞌ a hihii-nanau ngga, onaꞌ atahori laen mana sia raefafoꞌ ia sa. Au nda atahori mana dea-ralaꞌ, mana nataa nae, “Hei” te duꞌa nae “Hokoꞌ.”. Au nda atahori onaꞌ naa sa.

18 As God is true, the message that we brought you does not waver between “Yes” and “No”!

Hita bisa tamahere neu Lamatualain, huu mete ma Ana olaꞌ dalaꞌ sa, na, tantu Ana tao tungga. Naeni de hai o taꞌo naa boe. Mete ma hai mitaa mae, “Hei” na, hai nda duꞌa mae, “Hokoꞌ” sa.

19 The Son of God, Christ Jesus, whom we – Silas, Timothy, and I – proclaimed among you, never wavered between “Yes” and “No.” With him it has always been “Yes.”

Au, Silas, ma Timotius minori nggi soꞌal Yesus Kristus, Lamatualain Anan. Eni nda atahori mana dea-ralaꞌ mana nataa, nae “Hei”, te masud na, “hokoꞌ”. Eni ralan nda babꞌanggi sa. De mete ma ana olaꞌ, nae “hei”, na tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ “hei”.

20 For, many as were the promises of God, in Christ is the “Yes” that fulfils them. Therefore, through Christ again, let the “Amen” rise, through us, to the glory of God.

Basa dalaꞌ fo Lamatualain helu-fuli ena, dei fo Eni tao se dadꞌi. Naeni de, mete ma Yesus helu-fuli dalaꞌ esa nae, “hei,” hita bisa tataa tae, “Tebꞌe. Naeni ena! Amin!” Huu, tahine memaꞌ saa fo Yesus nae taoꞌ a. Hai mifadꞌe dalaꞌ ia fo natudꞌu Lamatualain manaselin.

21 God who brings us, with you, into close union with Christ, and who consecrated us,

Lamatuaꞌ naa, mana pili nala hei ma hai boe. Eni mana soꞌu nggita dadꞌi atahorin. Eni o mana tao fee nggita taꞌatataaꞌ takandoo.

22 also set his seal on us, and gave us his Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of future blessings.

Eni mana fee Dula-dalen nauli nggita, ma natudꞌu duduꞌan fee nggita. Naa onaꞌ atahori sa tao eni cap na neu saa esa fo natudꞌu nae, naa eni hata-heton.

23 But, as my life will answer for it, I call God to witness that it was to spare you that I deferred my visit to Corinth.

Au hule fo Lamatuaꞌ mana dadꞌi sakasii sia oꞌola ngga ia. Te Ana bubꞌuluꞌ au rala ngga. Ana bubꞌuluꞌ saa de au nda dadꞌi uu sia kota Korintus sa. Au nda nau tao nggi mae sa, naeni de leleꞌ naa au nda dadꞌi eti sa.

24 I do not mean that we are to dictate to you with regard to your faith; on the contrary, we work with you for your true happiness; indeed, it is through your faith that you are standing firm.

Hai nda soꞌu-soꞌuꞌ aom dadꞌi malangga fo denu-denuꞌ nggi mae, hei musi mimihere neu seka. Te hai tao ues miꞌibꞌue mo nggi, fo rala mara maꞌahee. Ama bisa miꞌitataaꞌ mihereꞌ, huu mimihere neu Lamatualain.
