Luo Corinth 6

1 Kut, su wi God in oru orekma lal, kut kwafe suwos tuh kowos in tia pilesru kulang lun God su kowos eis tari.

As a worker with him I beseech you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

2 Lohng ma God El fahk, “Ke sun pacl fal in fahkak kulang luk nu sum, Nga tuh porongekom; Ke len in molela tuku, Nga tuh kasrekom.” Kowos porongo! Pa inge pacl wo in eis kulang lun God; misenge pa len in eis molela!

For he said. In an acceptable time have I heard thee, And in the day of salvation have I succored thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time! behold, now is the day of salvation!

3 Kut tia lungse kutena mwet in pangon mu oasr ma sutuu ke orekma lasr, ke ma inge kut srike in tia oru mwe tukulkul nu sin kutena mwet.

I am giving no one a cause of stumbling in order that my ministry may not be discredited;

4 A in ma nukewa kut oru, kut mongfisrasr in muteng ke mwe lokoalok, ma upa, ac mwe keok, tuh in kalem lah kut mwet kulansap lun God.

but in every way I am striving to commend myself as God’s minister by stedfast endurance, by afflictions, by troubles, by distresses,

5 Anwuk kut, kapiri kut, mwet uh wonak lain kut; akkemkatuyeyuk kut, ac wangin pacl in motul ku mongo.

by floggings, by imprisonment; in riots, in labors, in sleepless watching, in hunger and thirst;

6 Kut sifacna fahkkutyak lah kut mwet kulansap lun God ke moul nasnas lasr, ke etauk, ke mongfisrasr, ke kulang — oayapa ke Ngun Mutal, ke lungse pwaye lasr,

with purity, understanding, patience, and kindness; by the Holy Spirit, by love sincere,

7 ke fahkak lasr ke ma pwaye, ac ke ku lun God. Suwoswos pa mwe mweun lasr, in lain ma koluk ac in loangekut.

by a true teaching and an energy divine; by the weapons of righteousness, for attack or for defense,

8 Akfulatyeyuk ac oayapa aklusrongtenyeyuk kut; akkolukyeyuk ac kaksakinyuk pac kut. Orek kut oana mwet kikiap, sruk kut kaskas na pwaye;

amid honor or dishonor, amid evil report and good report; as a deceiver and yet true;

9 oana kut in mwet nikinyuk, sruk mwet nukewa etekut; oana kut in mwet misa, a kut moul na, oana ke kowos liye. Finne kalyeiyuk kut, a kut tiana anwuki;

as unknown and yet well known; as at death’s door, yet, strange to tell, I live on; as chastened, but not killed;

10 ne aksupwaryeyuk kut, a kut insewowo pacl nukewa; oana kut in sukasrup, sruk kut akkasrupye mwet puspis; oana in wangin ma lasr, a pwayeiya uh ma nukewa oasr yorosr.

as grieved, but always glad; as poor, but making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.

11 Mwet kawuk saok in Corinth! Kut fahk ma na pwaye nu suwos; kut fahkak nufon ma oan insiasr.

O Corinthians, I am unsealing my lips to you; my heart is wide open to you.

12 Tia kut pa kaliya insiasr nu suwos; a kowos pa kaliya insiowos nu sesr.

There is no narrowness in my love; but the narrowness is in your own.

13 Inge nga kaskas nu suwos oana kowos in ma na nutik: kowos in oayapa lungse kut ke insiowos nufon.

I pray you, therefore, in fair exchange (I speak as to my children), let your hearts also be wide open to me.

14 Kowos in tia kupasryang nu sin mwet tia lulalfongi ke orekma lowos, mweyen tiana ku. Ma suwohs ac ma koluk ac akasrui fuka? Kalem ac lohsr ac tukeni fuka?

Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? what communion has light with darkness?

15 Ya Christ ac Devil ku in insese ke kutena ma? Mea mwet lulalfongi se ac mwet selulalfongi se oana sie kac uh?

What concord has Christ with Belial? What portion has a believer with an unbeliever?

16 Ya Tempul lun God ac ma sruloala lun mwet pegan ku in tukeni? Kut tempul lun God moul! In oana ke God El sifacna fahk, “Nga fah oru lohm sik yurin mwet luk Ac muta inmasrlolos; Nga fah God lalos, Ac elos fah mwet luk.”

And what compact has God’s temple with idols? For we are a temple of the living God, as he has said. I will dwell among them, and walk about among them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.

17 Ouinge Leum God El fahk, “Kowos fah tuyak ac som lukelos, Ac sifacna srikowosla lukelos. Tia kahlya kutena ma su fohkfok, Na nga fah insewowo in eis kowos.

Therefore, Come out from among them and separate yourselves, saith the Lord, touch not what is unclean;

18 Nga ac fah papa tomowos, Ac kowos ac fah wen ac acn nutik, Leum God Kulana El fahk.”

then I will receive you and will be to you a Father, and you shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
