2 Korinthians 10
1 Ime Bulus ni tumu me bre yi nita tawali'u ni nasihar Almasihu. Me hei ni se sur me na hei ni zuntu na, du iton wamehei niyi, me hei ni sur riri, nity ko niton wa me na hei niyina.
Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
2 Me bre yi du nton wa mehei niyi mena so ni mehei ni tsaurin hali na. ume ya me kpayeme ni son gabagadi nawa me kle ni tsayayya ni biwa baya din ki son ni kpa megye.
But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, with which I think to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3 Wukoni hei ki tsar nikpa, ukina taku nikpa na.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh:
4 Ukpewu ta ku niba ana narma kpana, wunaki ba hei ni makamai u Irji wa hei ni ikon wurushe ni gbegble bini (Shaidan) Bana gni kpe wu gbi sur na.
( For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; )
5 Wukikpa kpe wani yo shishi ni to Rji, U ki vu du mere wa ani wu kon Almasihu.
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 Ki hei ni to son wa ki hukunta kogye wani hei wu reshi biyayya mbi au tabatace.
And having in a readiness to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
7 To kpe wa hei ni koshishi hi wa ana u rina. Wu indi wa kpayeme wa'u wu Almasihu wa ka tabatar nituma cewa yadda wau a' wu Almasihu, wa naki wukita me naki.
Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trusteth to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.
8 Ko me ni u, wa irji a nota du ta inganta yi, ana hei donki kpa yi teimeme na, ishan na teime na
For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
9 Me na kpayeme du hei na me noyi sesre na ni vuvu wa me ha na.
That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
10 Indi bari batre, “Vuvu ma wa ha bahei ni sesre, U ta to a kumama. Lan tere na wa u yo sur wu wo ba na”
For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
11 Wundi bayi du ba to kpewa ki la ni bawu a lan tere vuvu mu ni ton wa kina hei ni bana wa naki ki tei koko hei.
Let such a person think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
12 Ana kai niton ki ga kpambu kankan rina, koki kwatanta ni tumbu ni biwa ba vurwo ni kpamba ani baba to kpa. U ba tsar tumba ni kpamba wa bana to kpe na.
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
13 Ki ta, naki kina yi fahariya zan wa yadda a hei na. U anita hei naki, Uki tei naki ni gwalgwadon wu yambu kpe wa Irji a ter ki tei wa ani kai niyi.
But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even to you.
14 Ga kita kina tei zarbabi tumbu na, niwa ki ye kai niyi wa kitayi kina wu mumla wa kiye ni yi, ni bisharar Almasihu.
For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not to you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
15 Kina wurwo ni sur zan ni kima ni du bari na. wa hei naki, u ki yo sur nibre dukpayeme du tsar bi nikon dumu du kara fadada gbugbu'u ni du wawu'u.
Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
16 Wuki yosur ni wayi, waki gni bishara hei ni gbangban mu zan wubi, kina wur wo ni tundu Rji niko bubu wurina.
To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.
17 “Wundi wa ani wurwo ni surma du wur ni duRji”.
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
18 Ana kohani no tuma ni wawu ba'a yardajj na. U ani hei naki du de du heindi waRji mba a kpayeme niwu.
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
