2 Jo-Korintho 10
1 An Paulo koro akwayou kuom muolo kod ngʼwono mar Kristo mondo uwinja. An ma usebedo kuwacho ni amuol ka an kodu, to ager ka an mabor kodu!
NOW I Paul myself exhort you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who, when present, am indeed lowly among you, but being absent, am bold towards you.
2 Asayou ni kik umi abi iru ka ager, kaka ajatimo ni jomoko maparo ni wadak e pinyni kaluwore gi dwaro piny.
But I pray, that when I am present I may not be bold with the confidence with which I purpose to act resolutely against some who think of us, as if we walked after the flesh.
3 Nikech kata obedo ni wadak e pinyni, to ok wakedi kaka jopiny kedo.
For though we walk in the flesh, we war not after the flesh:
4 Nikech gige lweny mwakedogo ok gin mag pinyni, to gin gige lweny mager mag Nyasaye, mwakonyorego kuom muko kuonde mochiel motegno.
for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for the casting down the strong holds of corruption;
5 Waketho mbekni kod riekni mag wuondruok duto mag sunga dhano, ma dino ni ji yor ngʼeyo Nyasaye, kendo watweyo paro ka paro mobam, mondo omi wami owinj Kristo.
laying low proud reasonings, and every high thing which exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and making every thought captive to the obedience of Christ:
6 Adier, wabiro kumo ji duto motamore winjo wach, nyaka chop un duto ubed joma olokore chuth.
and holding ourselves ready to avenge every act of disobedience, when your obedience is fully proved.
7 Uneno gik moko mana gi wangʼ mar dhano. To ka ngʼato paro ni en ngʼat Kristo, to kik chunye wuonde ni en ngʼat Kristo moloyowa!
Regard ye the things that are personal? If any man is confident in himself that he is Christ’s, let him reflect again in himself, that as he is Christ’s, so are we Christ’s.
8 To ka dipo ni asepakora moloyo teko ma Ruoth osemiyowa mar gerou mondo udongi moloyo thirou, to wiya ok nokuodi e wachno.
Yea, and if I should boast somewhat more highly of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for your edification, and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed;
9 Ok adwar mondo anenra ka gima abwogo chunyu gi barupena.
that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
10 Nikech jomoko kuomu wacho niya, “Barupene nigi teko kendo wuoyo mager, to ka en kodwa to onenore ngʼama yomyom, kendo koyalo to wechene onge gi teko.”
For his letters indeed, say they, are weighty and forcible, but his bodily presence is feeble, and his speech contemptible.
11 Joma kamago onego ngʼe ni weche ma andikonu e barupena ka aonge, ema bende abiro timo ka an kodu.
Let such a man be assured of this, that such as we are by word in our letters when absent, such also will we be in deed when we are present.
12 Chutho, ok dwaher mar ketore, kata pimore gi jogo matingʼore malo, kaka joma lich mokalo. Joma kamago ofuwo, kuom pimore gi rapim magin giwegi ema giketo, kendo kuom ngʼado buchgi kendgi, kaka joma lich.
For we will not presume to put ourselves on the level, or compare ourselves with some who vaunt themselves; but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, have no understanding.
13 Wan to ok dwapakre mokalo tongʼwa, en tongʼ ma Nyasaye owuon ema noketonwa kaluwore gi tichne, kendo un bende un ei tongʼno.
But we will not glory in things beyond our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath marked out for us―a measure that hath reached even unto you.
14 Omiyo ka wapakore e tijwani to ok wakalo tongʼ nikech wan ema ne wakwongo kelonu Injili mar Kristo bangʼ wuotho wuoth marabora.
For we stretch not our pretensions beyond bounds, as though we reached not unto you; for we have advanced even unto you in the gospel of Christ:
15 To bende, ok dwapakre mokalo tongʼwa kuom tich ma jomoko nono ema timo. To genowa en ni, kaka yie maru medo gerore, e kaka tongʼwa mar lando Injili biro medo yarore,
not boasting ourselves unmeasurably in other men’s labours; but having hope that when your faith is increased, we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule for more abundant usefulness,
16 mondo wayal Injili e pinje maboyo moyombo thuru. Nikech ok wadwar pakore kuom tich ma ngʼat machielo ema otimo e kare mar tich.
to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to arrogate glory in another man’s line for things already prepared.
17 To, “Ngʼat ma sungore mondo osungre kuom Jehova Nyasaye.”
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
18 Nikech ngʼat ma Ruoth pako ema ji yiego, to ngʼat mapakore kende onge rieko.
For not he who commendeth himself is approved, but he whom the Lord commendeth.
