Luo Corinth 13

1 Pa inge pacl se aktolu nga ac fahsrot nu yuruwos. “Kas in alein nukewa enenu in oasr akpwayeye sin mwet loh luo yak,” oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk.

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

2 Nga lungse fahk nu suwos su oasr koluk la ke pacl somla, ac mwet nukewa saya — nga tuh fahk meet ke fahsr akluo luk nu yuruwos, ac nga ac sifilpa fahk inge ke nga wangin yuruwos: ke nga ac fahsrot inge, wangin sie fah tia eis mwe kai nu sel.

I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:

3 Kowos fah eis mwe akpwaye nukewa ma kowos enenu, in akkalemye lah Christ El kaskas in nga. Ke Christ el aksuwosye kowos, el tia munas; a el ac akkalemye ku lal inmasrlowos.

Since you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

4 Tuh finne anwuki el fin sakseng ke munas, a inge God pa oru el moul. Ke kut ma sefanna yorol kut wi pac munas, tusruktu in akupasri lasr yuruwos kut fah ipeis ke ku lun God ke moul lal.

For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.

5 Kowos in sifacna srike kowos ac nununkekowos, in konauk lah kowos moul in lulalfongi ku tia. Mea, kowos tia akilen lah Jesus Christ el oasr in kowos? Kowos fin arulana tafongla liki ma pwaye, pa kowos ac tia akilen.

Examine yourselves, whether you be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know you not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except you be reprobates?

6 Nga lulalfongi mu kowos ac etu lah kut kutangla mwe srike nu sesr.

But I trust that you shall know that we are not reprobates.

7 Kut pre nu sin God tuh kowos fah tia oru kutena ma koluk, a tuh kowos fah oru na ma suwohs. Kut tia suk in pwaye sesr, mansis kowos finne pangon mu kut tia orala.

Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that you should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

8 Tuh kut koflana oru kutena ma in lain ma pwaye, a kut akkeye mukena.

For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

9 Kut engan ke pacl kut munas a kowos ku na. Ouinge kut pre pac tuh in aksuwosyeyuk kowos.

For we are glad, when we are weak, and you are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

10 Pa oru nga simis ma inge ke pacl ma nga wangin yuruwos; tuh ke pacl se nga ac sun kowos nga fah tia enenu in kai kowos ke ku ma Leum el ase nu sik — ku se ma ac musaikowosyak, ac tia in mwe kunauskowosla.

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord has given me to edification, and not to destruction.

11 Inge, mwet lili ac lulu, nga ac aksafyela sim luk uh. Kowos in aksuwosye moul lowos; porongo mwe kwafe luk nu suwos; kowos in tukeni nunak se; ac in oasr misla inmasrlowos. Ac God lun lungse ac misla fah wi kowos.

Finally, brothers, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

12 Paing sie sin sie ke lungse pwaye.

Greet one another with an holy kiss.

13 Mwet lun God nukewa supwaot lung lalos nu suwos.

All the saints salute you.

14 Lungkulang lun Leum Jesus Christ, lungse lun God, ac sie sin sie lun Ngun Mutal in wi kowos nukewa.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
