2 Jo-Korintho 12
1 Abiro dhi nyime ka apakora kata obedo ni pakruok ma apakorago ok kony gimoro. To koro awuoyo kuom lek gi fweny mane Ruoth omiya.
IT is not expedient doubtless for me to boast. I will yet come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Angʼeyo ja-Kristo moro mane oyudhi moter e polo mar adek, higni apar gangʼwen mokadho. Akia kata notere kuno e ringruok kata nodhi gi chunye, to Nyasaye ema ongʼeyo.
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body I know not, or whether out of the body I know not: God knoweth; ) such a one was caught up unto the third heavens.
3 Kendo angʼeyo ni ngʼatni noter e paradiso to ok angʼeyo ni gino notimore adier kata nine en mana fweny, to Nyasaye kende ema ongʼeyo.
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body or out of the body I know not: God knoweth, )
4 E paradiso kuno nowinjoe weche malich ma ok oyiene dhano wuoyoe.
that he was caught up into paradise, and heard ineffable words, which it is not permitted to man to speak.
5 Abiro mana pakora kuom ngʼat machalo kamano, to ok anyal pakora kuoma awuon, makmana ka apakora kuom gigo manyiso nyawona.
Of such a one will I boast; but in myself will I not boast, save in my infirmities.
6 To kata ka daher mar pakora, to ok dikawa ni afuwo, nikech gik ma dimi apakra gin adier. To ok abi pakora, nikech ok adwar ni ngʼato okawa ni an ngʼama lich moloyo gik moseneno ka atimo, kata mosewinjo ka awacho.
For though I should be disposed to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I shall speak truth: but I desist, lest any man think of me above what he seeth me to be, or what he heareth of me.
7 Kuom mano, mondo omi kik abed gi sunga e chunya kuom gik malich miwuoro mane aneno e fweny, ne omiya kudho machwoyo ringra. Kudhono ne en jaote mar Satan, ma noor mondo osanda.
And that I might not be lifted up above measure by the transcendent greatness of the revelations, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, the angel Satan, to buffet me, that I might not be lifted up above measure.
8 Ne alamo Ruoth nyadidek kuom wachni, ka asaye mondo ogolna kudhono;
For this thrice I besought the Lord, that he might depart from me.
9 to ne odwoka niya, “Ngʼwonona mamiyi oromi, nikech kama nyawo nitie ema tekona tiyoe moloyo.” Emomiyo, abiro medo pakora gi ilo kuom nyawona, eka teko mar Kristo osik kuoma.
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may fix its residence in me.
10 Mano emomiyo ayie nyawo, ayany, chandruok, sand, midhiero nikech Kristo, nimar ka anyap eka atek.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then am I strong.
11 Un ema umiyo atimora kaka ngʼama ofuwo. To joma onego opwoya gin un, nikech kata ka achalo ngʼama ofuwo kamano, to joote mudhialo ni lichgo ok oloya kata matin.
Have I become a fool in boasting? ye have compelled me; for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing have I been inferior to the very chief apostles, though I be nothing.
12 Gik manyiso ni ngʼato jaote mar adier, magin ranyisi gi honni kod gik madongo dongo miwuoro, ne atimo e dieru ka ahora mos ahinya.
The signs indeed of an apostle have been wrought among you in all patience, in miracles, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
13 En angʼo mane atimo ni kanisni mamoko mane ok atimonu, makmana ni un ne ok amiyou tingʼ mapek mar konya? Ka dipo ni mano ne rachnu to mondo uwena!
For what is there wherein ye have been inferior to the other churches, except that I have not been burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong.
14 Koro aikora biro limou e limbena mar adek. Ka abiro to ok abi miyou tingʼ mapek, nikech un ema adwarou, to ok gigeu. Mano en gima ongʼere, nikech nyithindo ok ema onego okan mwandu ni jonywolgi, to jonywol ema onego oken ni nyithindgi.
Lo! I hold myself ready the third time to come unto you, and I will not burden you; for I seek not yours but you: for the children ought not to lay up treasure for their parents, but the parents for the children.
15 Emomiyo aikora mar miyou gik moko duto ma an-go, koda ka ngimana bende, mondo akonyu. Ka an aherou malach kamano, koro un onego uhera matin adier?
And I will most cheerfully spend and be spent for your souls, though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.
16 Koro unyalo yie koda nine ok abedonu tingʼ mapek. To pod unyalo wacho ni ne akonyora gi rieka maricho mondo amau lingʼ-lingʼ.
But admit it, I was not burdensome to you: but being crafty, I caught you with guile.
17 Bende dibed ne amayoue giru moro kuom joma ne aoro iru?
Did I make a gain of you by any one individual whom I sent unto you?
18 Ne ajiwo Tito mondo obi iru, kendo ne aore gi owadwa machielo mondo obi kode. Dibed Tito owuon nomayou giu? Donge an gi Tito ne watiyo e dieru ka wan gi chuny machalre kendo ka waluwo yo machalre?
I entreated Titus to go to you, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make any advantage of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
19 Sa moro nyalo bet ni uparo ni watemo pwoyorenu kuom wuoyonu kama. Ooyo, wawuoyo e nyim Nyasaye mana kaka jo-Kristo. Osiepewa mwageno, ngʼeuru ni gik moko duto ma watimo en ni mondo wajiu.
Think ye that we are again making an apology to you? In the sight of God speak we in Christ: but all things, beloved, for your edification.
20 Aluor ni ka abiro iru kuno to anyalo yudou ka ok uchal kaka adwaro ni uchal, kendo un bende unyalo yudo ka apogora gi kaka udwaro ni abedi. Aluor ni anyalo yudo ka nitie dhawo gi nyiego, gi mirima, gi pogruok, gi ajara, gi kuoth, gi sunga kod koko e dieru.
For I am afraid that when I come I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found of you such as ye would not: lest haply there be contentions, jealousies, animosities, quarrels, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
21 Aluor bende ni ka achako alimou, to timbeu nyalo miyo Nyasacha kuod wiya e nyimu, mi aywagi nikech ji mathoth kuomu mosetimo richo to otamore weyo timbegi maricho kaka, terruok kod anjawo.
and lest when I come to you again, my God should bow me down, and I should lament over many who have sinned before, and have not repented of the impurities, and whoredom, and lasciviousness which they have committed.
