Luo Corinth 7
1 Mwet kawuk soak luk, wulela inge nukewa ma nu sesr. Ke ma inge, lela kut in sifacna aknasnasye kut liki ma nukewa su ac akfohkfokye manosr ku ngunasr, ac lela kut in arulana mutal ke kut moul in akfulatye God.
Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Lela kowos in inse pwaye nu sesr. Wangin mwet kut orekma sufal nu se; wangin mwet kut akkolukyela, wangin mwet kut kiapwela.
Open your hearts to us: we wronged no man, we corrupted no man, we took advantage of no man.
3 Nga tia fahk ma inge in aktoasrye kowos; tuh oana ke nga fahk tari, kowos arulana saok sesr, ouinge insese lasr uh ac oanna, kut finne moul ku misa.
I say it not to condemn [you]: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die together and live together.
4 Nga arulana lulalfongi kowos; nga arulana yukin kowos! In mwe ongoiya nu sesr nukewa nga srakna sessesla ke pulaik; nga tingtingi ke engan.
Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying on your behalf: I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
5 Finne tukun kut sun tari acn Macedonia, wangin pacl in mongla lasr. Oasr lokoalok yen nukewa — oasr amei sin mwet saya nu sesr, ac oasr sangeng insiasr.
For even when we were come into Macedonia our flesh had no relief, but [we were] afflicted on every side; without [were] fightings, within [were] fears.
6 Tusruktu God, su akkeye mwet su sun ongoiya, El akkeye kut ke tuku lal Titus.
Nevertheless he that comforteth the lowly, [even] God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
7 Tia tuku lal mukena pa akpwaryekutyak, a el srumun luman akku lowos nu sel. El fahkak nu sesr lupan kena lowos in liyeyu, lupan pakomuta lowos, lupan akola lowos in kasreyu; na ke sripa inge engan luk uh arulana yokelik.
and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort wherewith he was comforted in you, while he told us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced yet more.
8 Tuh leta luk ah finne aktoasrye kowos, nga tia auli lah nga simusla. Nga lukun pakomuta ke nga liye lah leta sac oru kowos oela ke kitin pacl.
For though I made you sorry with my epistle, I do not regret it: though I did regret [it] (for I see that that epistle made you sorry, though but for a season),
9 Tusruktu inge nga engan — tia mweyen nga oru kowos asor, a mweyen asor lowos tuh oru kowos auliyak. Asor sac orekmakinyuk sin God ke sripa wo nu suwos, ac kut tia akkolukye kowos kac.
I now rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance; for ye were made sorry after a godly sort, that ye might suffer loss by us in nothing.
10 Tuh asor su God El orekmakin uh pa oru ekla lun nunak, su ac kolla mwet nu ke molela — ac wangin auli ke ma inge! A asor lun faclu ac kolla mwet nu ke misa.
For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, [a repentance] which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
11 Liye ma God El oru ke asor se lowos inge: pa oru kowos arulana moniyukla, ac oru kowos kena akpwayei lah wangin mwatuwos! Inge kowos koase ma koluk, yohk lohang lowos, ac kena lowos, ac insianaung, ac kowos akola na in kai ma koluk! In ma inge nukewa kowos akkalemye lah wangin ma sufal lowos.
For behold, this selfsame thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought in you, yea what clearing of yourselves, yea what indignation, yea what fear, yea what longing, yea what zeal, yea what avenging! In everything ye approved yourselves to be pure in the matter.
12 Ke ma inge, nga ne simusla leta sac, tia ma ke sripen mwet se ma orala ma koluk, ku mwet se ma akkolukyeyuk. A nga tuh simusla in oru in kalem suwos, ye mutun God, lupan nunak pwaye lowos nu sesr.
So although I wrote unto you, [I wrote] not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be made manifest unto you in the sight of God.
13 Sripa inge nukewa oru kut arulana kui. Tia akkeyeyuk kut mukena, a Titus el akpwarye kut ke engan lal ke sripen kasru su kowos nukewa tuh oru ac akpwaryal kac!
Therefore we have been comforted: and in our comfort we joyed the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit hath been refreshed by you all.
14 Nga tuh yukin kowos nu sel, ac kowos akpwayela konkin luk keiwos. Kas lasr pwaye nu suwos pacl nukewa, ac in lumah sacna, konkin lasr keiwos nu sel Titus ah akpwayeiyukla.
For if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
15 Ke ma inge, lungse lal nu suwos uh yokyokelik ke el esam luman akola lowos nukewa in akos mwe luti lal, ac ke kowos eisal nu yuruwos ke akfulat na yohk.
And his affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
16 Yohk engan luk lah nga ku in arulana lulalfongi kowos!
I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.
