2 Ukorintiyawa 12
1 Dole in foo figir, bara nani na mma se imong ku b, bara nani unuzu ina tiubun namoro nin belu nanya unuzun Cikilari.
To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Inyiru unit nanya Kristi nanya na kus tkure min nanase na ana kata sa nanya kidawo sa indas kidaw, nan meng yiru ba Kutelle yiru iwa yanghe udu nanya kitime kin taat.
I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago — whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God hath known — such an one being caught away unto the third heaven;
3 Tutung inyiru umong unit sa naya kidawo sa indas kidawo, na meng yiru ba Kutelle yiru.
and I have known such a man — whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God hath known, —
4 ulena iwa yonghe udu kitene ule na awa di nin imong ilau kang na umon wasa a benle ba.
that he was caught away to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.
5 Kitenen leli unitere men ma foo figiri. Bara na nma foo figiri nin litinin ba se dei bara lidarni ning.
Of such an one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities,
6 Andi indinin su in foo figiri. nan ma suo ulalan ba, bara idin belu kidegenere. Bara nani ima cinu ufoo figiri nanumon ba kpilizinu litinighe gbardan, na nafo idin yenju sa idin lanzuyi ba.
for if I may wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for truth I will say; but I forebear, lest any one in regard to me may think anything above what he doth see me, or doth hear anything of me;
7 Sa bara na mgbardan inda ciu mbele. Baranani na mma fiwu aba da nin fiwu liti ba i wa tiyifimat kidowo, kadura nnuzu shidtan idak ida firume, bara nwa foo figiri kang.
and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch.
8 Njun tat ina foo acara nin kiti Kutelle akalai mung ile imone nanya nin
Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me,
9 Amini na beli “ubolu nin batin fi” Bara na likara din kue naanya lidarne” too mma kpinu ufoo figiri nanya nanya lidarni ning bara likaara Kristin soo kitene ning
and He said to me, 'Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:
10 Bara nani ubatine bara Krist, nanya lidarni, nanya nitop nnya nniy, nanya tinana nayii, nanya nkunekun, bara nani vat kubi kone diri likar, asa nta agang.
wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses — for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;
11 In nasoo ulalan! anunghere natiy, bara anunghere wa ruyi, bara na nwa di ko cun kadas nang nadidiya nansn kadura ba barana mmen imonghari ba
I have become a fool — boasting; ye — ye did compel me; for I ought by you to have been commended, for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles — even if I am nothing.
12 Kidegen nalap nan kadura wadi kiti mine nin nayashau vat, alap nin nalajibi nin nitwa ni didiya.
The signs, indeed, of the apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds,
13 Bara na anung wadi iyiziari sa uanpani nafo nzisin natii alauw, bara na uwa so minu kutura ba? shawang ninmile utanue!
for what is there in which ye were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this injustice!
14 Yeneng! Mba dak minu tutung unta, na ima lawu minu kutura ba bara na idinin su ni mong mine ba anunghere ndi nin suw. Nanono ba cisu bara acife ba bara nani acifari ba cisu bara n nono.
Lo, a third time I am ready to come unto you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not yours, but you, for the children ought not for the parents to lay up, but the parents for the children,
15 Nna yitu nin nayi abo kang in wultun bara anunghe uwa biiu usumine kang, ita usu ninghe baata?
and I most gladly will spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, more abundantly loving you, less I am loved.
16 Bara na udi nani, nanan ti minu kutura nati ba. Bara na meng di jinjin, mere na fo minu nin kinu.
And be it [so], I — I did not burden you, but being crafty, with guile I did take you;
17 In wa di kitene mine na uwa tuu umong udak kiti mine.
any one of those whom I have sent unto you — by him did I take advantage of you?
18 Iwa ti Titus ku adak kiti mine inin tuu kani gwane ninghe, Titus se wa di kitene mine? Na tiwa cinu libau lirumme baa? Na tiwa cinuu nin niti nirume ba?
I entreated Titus, and did send with [him] the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? in the same spirit did we not walk? — did we not in the same steps?
19 Idin cisu kokube tidin sesu atibite kiti mine? Nbun Kutelle tidin nin Kristi mbelu vat nimon bara uke minere.
Again, think ye that to you we are making defence? before God in Christ do we speak; and the all things, beloved, [are] for your up-building,
20 Idin cun fiu nwa dak nan mase minu nafo na idinin suwe, Na anung wang masai nafo na idinin suwe ba, au ti wase mayardang inshina nayi usu liti kubellum, ufoo figiri nin salin caunu.
for I fear lest, having come, not such as I wish I may find you, and I — I may be found by you such as ye do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, evil-speakings, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,
21 Indin lanzu fiu nwa kpilin, Kutelle nighe uruu nighe kiti mine, mma nin gilu bara mgbardan mine naina malu ti kulapi nin burnu na inin na pizeru usunu nsalin lau nin nuzu nin na wani a hem nin su nimong nyi na iwadi isuzu ba.
lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may bewail many of those having sinned before, and not having reformed concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and lasciviousness, that they did practise.
