2 Corinthians 12
1 If it is necessary (though certainly not expedient) to glory, then I will next tell of visions and revelations from the Lord.
Ani bi dume wur wo ni sur, U ko ana hei ni rubar kpe na. U, me tzirni waba yoyi ni ruyoyi Urji.
2 I know a man in Christ, who, more than fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I do not know, or out of the body, I do not know: God knows), was enraptured to the third heaven.
Me tondirini Baci, wasema wulon don tzia wa a wuce ko ahei nikpo ko ana ukpa me na to na Irji wa ato ba ban hi ni shulu wutra.
3 And I know a certain man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I do not know: God knows),
Ume metondiyi ni kpa, ko ana hei ni kpa na, me tona, Rji wawuyi a to.
4 who was enraptured into Paradise. And he heard words of mystery, which it is not permitted for man to speak.
Wa ba hei ni Firdausi da wo madaukakan itere wa bandi na ani ya La.
5 On behalf of someone like this, I will glory. But on behalf of myself, I will not glory about anything, except my infirmities.
U ni tundi biki, me gyir, Uni madadi tumu me na wurwo ni kpamu na'u ani heini kumamancimu.
6 For even though I am willing to glory, I will not be foolish. But I will speak the truth. Yet I will do so sparingly, lest anyone may consider me to be anything more than what he sees in me, or anything more than what he hears from me.
Ume ta tere di me wurwo ni kpamu, ana wauta na, u meta la tere wu janji ma. Me na kpanyeme ni ta wurwo ni kpamu, ni duri du bame zan kpe wa to, ko kpe wawo ni me.
7 And lest the greatness of the revelations should extol me, there was given to me a prodding in my flesh: an angel of Satan, who struck me repeatedly.
U wame son niguje wurwo ni sur niwa me ban tumu name zan ka ba ni gagaruman ruyoyi. Ninason ni Zutuna, bane kpe wu mikpa mu, wu ver ibni a wahalshe ni me dume na son ni santu barna.
8 Because of this, three times I petitioned the Lord that it might be taken away from me.
Ume breRji teikpu tra ni du wur le ni mu.
9 And he said to me: “My grace is sufficient for you. For virtue is perfected in weakness.” And so, willingly shall I glory in my weaknesses, so that the virtue of Christ may live within me.
U watre nimu, “Alherimu a tsra niwu, don Iko no no ni kimamaci hei naki” wa naki ani tsra dume ti ni wur woni suron ni tu reshi gbegblen mu u iko Baci ka son ni kpamu.
10 Because of this, I am pleased in my infirmity: in reproaches, in difficulties, in persecutions, in distresses, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am powerful.
Wa hei naki me kpanyeme ni tu gbengblen Baci ni mi kumamanci, ko ni mer, ni matsololi ko ni jarabobi, ko ni nawaya. Ukonitan me raunana, me hei ni gbegblen naki.
11 I have become foolish; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you. For I have been nothing less than those who claim to be above the measure of Apostles, even though I am nothing.
Ume son na me ndi wa anat kpena wu vu me ni gbegblen nitu naki, wa wuna tzi wo nimu. Ume na kuyer nibiwa ba yobani mir ma bana ume na kpe na.
12 And the seal of my Apostleship has been set over you, with all patience, with signs and wonders and miracles.
Wu cikakkaku alamunwu mir ko ma ahei ni tsakonin mbi, ni son u vu surin wa a alamu ni ban mamaki ni ndu bi barma.
13 For what is there that you have had which is less than the other churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this injury.
Wu me tei hei ni son wa ana u son na bur Ikilisiyoyi na, wame na hei ni son wu matsala ni yiwu na? Bi ka wurle ni mu ni la tre yi wa meti.
14 Behold, this is the third time I have prepared to come to you, and yet I will not be a burden to you. For I am seeking not the things that are yours, but you yourselves. And neither should the children store up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
To mba me hei ni ton wa me ye niyi ni ve wutra. mena hei uya niyiwuna, me na wakpe wubi na U me wa yi. Waannabina dumir duba wa kpe ni ba temba na wa ani bidu ba ti ni han kpe wabi wa.
15 And so, very willingly, I will spend and exhaust myself for the sake of your souls, loving you more, while being loved less.
Me gir nihan kpe wabi wa, anitahe wami ka suron mu no ume ta kpayeme, ni yi ni suron riri u bi kpayeme nime fi me?
16 And so be it. I have not burdened you, but instead, being astute, I obtained you by guile.
Wa hei toki, mi na nawaita ni yiwuna. U a hei naki wa mendiwu dabara, U me yi me vuyi ni gur ye.
17 And yet, did I defraud you by means of any of those whom I sent to you?
Me kayi nyi ni kon biwa me tur ba ye niyiwu?
18 I asked for Titus, and I sent a brother with him. Did Titus defraud you? Did we not walk with the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps?
Me tur Titus du ye niyi ndi tur vayi rima du hu. U wa me tur Titus duye a kma yi nyi, anahei ni kon riri kizre na?
19 Have you ever thought that we should explain ourselves to you? We speak in the sight of God, in Christ. But all things, most beloved, are for your edification.
Bi ya nitonyi wawu'u, wukikle tumbu ni shishi bi? U nishi shi Rji nide Baci ki hla kpe ni yiwu du fi gbegblen.
20 Yet I fear, lest perhaps, when I have arrived, I might not find you such as I would want, and I might be found by you, such as you would not want. For perhaps there may be among you: contention, envy, animosity, dissension, detraction, whispering, self-exaltation, and rebellion.
Ume ti sisir ndi me taye me na to yi na wa me son na. Me ti sisir wa bina to me na na wa bison. Me tei sisre u me taye me na feye nawa me son na. Me keisisre wu biyi me bina to me na wa bi son na. Me ti sisir bafe gbi sur ni gurshi ni son wu yi, ni yo sur wu son kanka, ni tere toto, ni zutu ni yamutsi.
21 If so, then, when I have arrived, God may again humble me among you. And so, I mourn for the many who sinned beforehand, and did not repent, over the lust and fornication and homosexuality, which they have committed.
Ume tei sisre me ya ni kogon wa me ye, Rji mu ani ya da kaskan to nime ni koshishibi. Ume tei sisir wa me son ni gbi suron nincli gbugbu'u wa ba nla tre na wu ziza'a ni wa mba nifaskanci nidu u yo sur ni waba tei na.
