2 Jo-Korintho 1

1 An Paulo, jaote mar Kristo Yesu kuom dwaro mar Nyasaye; kod owadwa Timotheo, Ne kanisa Nyasaye man Korintho, kaachiel gi jomaler duto man Akaya:

Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God--and our brother Timothy: To the Church of God in Corinth, with all God's people throughout Greece.

2 Ngʼwono gi kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuonwa kod Ruoth Yesu Kristo obed kodu.

May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Duongʼ obed ni Nyasaye ma Wuon Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo, kendo ma Wuon ngʼwono kendo Nyasach Loch duto,

Heartfelt thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father who is full of compassion and the God who gives all comfort.

4 en ema olochonwa e chandruok duto mamakowa, mondo wabed gi nyalo mar hoyo joma moko manie chandruok, ka wahoyogi gi hoch ma Nyasaye osehoyowago wan wawegi.

He comforts us in our every affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction by means of the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

5 Nikech, mana kaka wan e achiel gi Kristo e sandruok duto mane oneno, e kaka wan kode e hoch mochiwo.

For just as we have more than our share of suffering for the Christ, so also through the Christ we have more than our share of comfort.

6 Ka isandowa, to mano timorenwa mondo uyud hoch kod warruok; to ka wayudo hoch, to en mana ni mondo Nyasaye okonyu mondo udhil gi sand ma wan bende wayudo.

But if, on the one hand, we are enduring affliction, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if, on the other hand, we are receiving comfort, it is for your comfort which is produced within you through your patient fortitude under the same sufferings as those which we also are enduring.

7 Kendo geno marwa kuomu ogurore motegno; nikech wangʼeyo ni kaka uyudo sand kodwa e kaka uyudo hoch kodwa.

And our hope for you is stedfast; for we know that as you are partners with us in the sufferings, so you are also partners in the comfort.

8 Jowete, ok wadwar mondo ubed ka ukia, kaka ne waneno masiche mapek e piny Asia. Ne oyie kuomwa masiche madongo kendo mapek moingowa tingʼo mine wajok gibedo mangima.

For as for our troubles which came upon us in the province of Asia, we would have you know, brethren, that we were exceedingly weighed down, and felt overwhelmed, so that we renounced all hope even of life.

9 Chutho, ne wawinjo e chunywa ka gima nosengʼadnwa buch tho. To magi notimorenwa mondo waket genowa kuom Nyasaye ma chiero joma otho, to ok kuomwa wawegi.

Nay, we had, as we still have, the sentence of death within our own selves, in order that our confidence may repose, not on ourselves, but on God who raised the dead to life.

10 En ema noseresowa e dho tho malich kamano kendo obiro resowa. Kuome waseketoe genowa ni pod obiro resowa,

He it is who rescued us from so imminent a death, and will do so again; and we have a firm hope in Him that He will also rescue us in all the future,

11 ka umedo konyowa gi lemo maru. Mano nomi ji mangʼeny nodwokne Nyasaye erokamano kuom gweth momiyowa, kodwoko lemo mag ji mangʼeny.

while you on your part lend us your aid in entreaty for us, so that from many lips thanksgivings may rise on our behalf for the boon granted to us at the intercession of many.

12 Koro ma e sunga marwa: Chunywa miyowa ratiro ni wasedak e pinyni, to moloyo e winjruok marwa kodu, ka waluoro Nyasaye kendo ka wawuotho e ler mar adier. Ok wasedak kamano nikech waluwo rieko mar pinyni, to nikech ngʼwono mar Nyasaye.

For the reason for our boasting is this--the testimony of our own conscience that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, and in reliance not on worldly wisdom but on the gracious help of God, that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and above all in our relations with you.

13 Nikech ok wandiknu gik matek ma ok unyal somo mi uwinj tiendgi. Omiyo ageno ni,

For we are writing to you nothing different from what we have written before, or from what indeed you already recognize as truth and will, I trust, recognize as such to the very end;

14 mana kaka koro usengʼeyowa moromo, e kaka ubiro medo ngʼeyowa chuth, mondo uchop e okangʼ munyalo sungoru nikech wan, mana kaka wan bende wabiro sungore nikech un e odiechieng Ruoth Yesu.

just as some few of you have recognized us as your reason for boasting, even as you will be ours, on the day of Jesus our Lord.

15 Nikech ne an-gi ratiro kuom wachni, ne achano mar limou mokwongo mondo ne uyud gweth manyadiriyo.

It was because I entertained this confidence that I intended to visit you before going elsewhere--so that you might receive a twofold proof of God's favour--

16 Ne achano mondo alimu kane anie wuodha adhi Makedonia, bende ne achano rawo iru ka aa kuno, mondo ayud kony kuomu e wuodha madhi Judea.

and to pass by way of Corinth into Macedonia. Then my plan was to return from Macedonia to you, and be helped forward by you to Judaea.

17 Kane achano kamano, uparo nine atimo kamano ka atugo? Koso uparo ni aloso chenrona ka japiny, ma anyalo kiko wach ka ayie niya, “Ee, Ee” kendo achako akwer ni “Ooyo, Ooyo?”

Did I display any vacillation or caprice in this? Or the purposes which I form--do I form them on worldly principles, now crying "Yes, yes," and now "No, no"?

18 Kaka Nyasachwa en ja-adiera, wach ma wasebedo ka wawacho kodu ok en “Ee” gi “Ooyo.”

As certainly as God is faithful, our language to you is not now "Yes" and now "No."

19 Nikech Yesu Kristo, Wuod Nyasaye, mane wayalonu wachne, wan gi Sila gi Timotheo, ne ok en “ee” gi “ooyo” to osebedo “ee” kinde duto,

For Jesus Christ the Son of God--He who was proclaimed among you by us, that is by Silas and Timothy and myself--did not show Himself a waverer between "Yes" and "No." But it was and always is "Yes" with Him.

20 nikech singruok ma Nyasaye osetimo kodwa duto kar rombgi gin, “Ee kuom Kristo.” Mano emomiyo kwamiyo Nyasaye duongʼ kwalamo e nying Kristo to wawacho niya, “Amin.”

For all the promises of God, whatever their number, have their confirmation in Him; and for this reason through Him also our "Amen" acknowledges their truth and promotes the glory of God through our faith.

21 To Nyasaye owuon ema osemiyo un kod wan wachungʼ motegno kuom Kristo. En ema osewirowa,

But He who is making us as well as you stedfast through union with the Anointed One, and has anointed us, is God,

22 mi oketo kido kuomwa manyiso ni wan joge bende oseketo Roho mare e chunywa kaka singo mar gima biro.

and He has also set His seal upon us, and has put His Spirit into our hearts as a pledge and foretaste of future blessing.

23 Aluongo Nyasaye mondo obed janeno mara, ka anyisou ni ne ok aduogo Korintho mana mondo omi kik akelnu kuyo.

But as for me, as my soul shall answer for it, I appeal to God as my witness, that it was to spare you pain that I gave up my visit to Corinth.

24 Ok wawach kamano nikech watemo bedo gi teko kuom yie maru, to watiyo kodu kaachiel mondo uchungʼ motegno e yie maru ka umor.

Not that we want to lord it over you in respect of your faith--we do, however, desire to help your joy--for in the matter of your faith you are standing firm.
