< 2 Corinthians 12 >
1 To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the LORD.
Naani n baa kpiagi n yuli lan yaa po; laa pia ñuadi ba kuli. ama n baa waani yi O Diedo bonle kaala leni O bondoagidi kaala.
2 I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago—whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God has known—such a one being snatched up to the third heaven;
N bani Joayendo ke o tie Kilisiti ŋoadi ka moala li pundi piiga n bina na, ke bi den duoni o hali tanpotuadi kaantaalu kani ama mii bani o den ye o gbanandi nni, bi waa den ye o gbanandi nni mii bani U tienu n bani.
3 and I have known such a man—whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God has known—
N go bani ke laa joa, li den tie leni o gbanandi bi laa tie leni o gbanandi mii bani U tienu bebe n bani,
4 that he was snatched up to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.
O den gedi ŋalijani ki den gbadi yaa maama n kaa pia togida yaama ke o nisaalo kan fidi ki togidi.
5 Of such a one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my weaknesses,
N baa kpiagi n yuli laa nilo yaapo, ama n kan kpiagi n yuli n yucelipo, li yaa tie n tadingu po yaaka.
6 for if I may wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I will say truth; but I refrain, lest in regard to me anyone may think anything above what he sees me, or hears anything of me;
N yaa bi bua ki kpiagi n yuli, n kan bi tua nani yanluo daano kelima n baa waani i moamoani. ama n kan yedi li ba, kelima mii bua o baa kuli n jigini nni ki cie wan nua ke n tie yua bi wan gba ke n tie yua.
7 and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted too much, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, that he might batter me, that I might not be exalted too much.
Ama, ke min da gbengidi n yuli leni ti japaadi kelima laa bondoagidi kaala n den pia ti kpiagidi maama yeni po, n yen gba n gbanu nni li bonla ke li muudi nni nani i konkoni yeni, li tie Sutaani Maleki ki yen muudi nni ke min da gbie leni ti japaadi.
8 I called on the LORD three times concerning this thing, that it might depart from me,
Taalimi Ta n jandi ki mia O Diedo n ñani laa bonla n niini.
9 and He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness”; most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:
Ama O den yedi nni: N ŋanbili dagidi a po kelima ku tadingun ne ke n paciamu yen tuuni bonŋanla. lan yaapo, n go ba jigini n yuli ki cie kelima n tadingu po, lan tie Kilisiti paaciamu n yaa ye leni nni.
10 for this reason I am well pleased in weaknesses, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses—for Christ; for whenever I may be weak, then I am powerful;
Lan teni ke n mangidi n pali ku tadingu nni, leni ti sugidi nni, leni fala buolu buolu kuli nni kelima Kilisiti po. kelima yaa yogunu ke n tadi laa yogunu n yen sua ke n pa bonŋanla.
11 I have become a fool—boasting; you compelled me; for I ought to have been commended by you, for I was behind the very chiefest apostles in nothing—even if I am nothing.
N tua nani o yanluodaano kelima yinba teni ke n tua yeni. yinba n bi ŋaa teni n po siedi kelima ba leni min ki tie li ba, yaa tondiba n nua bi yula ke bi tie tondicianba yeni, naa cie nni leni li ba.
12 The signs, indeed, of the apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds,
yaali n waani ke n tie Kilisiti tondo moamoani, doagidi yi siiga. lan tie li juuli mi biigimi kuli nni, sinankeene leni li bonlidi kaala, leni mi bandicianma kuli den tiendi leni nni yi siiga.
13 for what is there in which you were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this injustice!
N tieni be jandietoana yaaba po kaa tieni yi po; li yaa tie ke mii den tuo ki tua yi po yaaka? yin tieni mani n po sugili lan yaapo.
14 Behold, a third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I do not seek yours, but you, for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children,
Diidi mani n go bogini mi taa tama ki baa cua yi kani, n kan go tua yi po tugili kelima mii lingi yi piama ka, ama yinba yi yaaba yo ke n linga. Kelima a bila ka baa taani li bonla bi danba po ama, bi bidanba n ba taani li bonla a bila po.
15 and I will most gladly spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, loving you more abundantly, I am loved less.
Mini n yaaba, n yama po n ba pa n piama ki go teni n yuli kelima yi naani po. n buama yi po yaa pugidi, naani li tie ke n bua yin wadi yi yaa buama n po?
16 And be it [so], I did not burden you, but being crafty, I took you with guile;
Min kaa tua yi po tugili yeni, bi tianba tua daalinba n tieni nunfanbu yo ki bua ki baa cuo yi.
17 anyone of those whom I have sent to you—did I take advantage of you by him?
Min den suani yaaba yi kani yeni, naani n den ten ke bi fie yi kani bonli ba bi?
18 I begged Titus, and sent with [him] the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not walk in the same Spirit? Did we not [walk] in the same steps?
N cedi Tita yegi leni ti kpiilo ke bi den gedi yi po, naani Tita den tieni yi u paalu ki den fie yi kani bonli baa bii? naani kuli ki cuoni leni yantiayenli leni sanyendu ka?
19 Again, [do] you think that we are making defense to you? We speak before God in Christ; and all things, beloved, [are] for your up-building,
Yi tama hali yogu, ke ti bua ki fuu ga ti yula yi nintuali; yen ka, ama li tie U tienu leni Jesu nintuali yo ke ti maadi. ti maadi yeni ki bua lan todi yi.
20 for I fear lest, having come, I may not find you such as I wish, and I may be found by you such as you do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, slanders, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,
Kelima n jie n ya cua yi kani, min sua ke yii tie min bi bua yin yaa tie maama, i moko n da sua ke tie yin kaa bi bua min yaa tie yua. N jie min da cua ki sua yi siiga kufugu, li ponli, leni li pabienli, mi paadima, leni i janbi, i kulinkundi ti japaadi, leni ti yanyagidi, i kulinkundi ti japaadi, leni yanyagidi.
21 lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may mourn many of those having sinned before, and having not changed their mind concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and licentiousness, that they practiced.
N jie n cuama yi kani n Tienu n da teni min lee i fee kelima yi po. N jie min da buudi kelima yi siiga yaabi n den ba ti tuonbiadi nni ki naa tuo ki lebidi bi pala ki mia sugili bi tuonjoagindi po, leni bi conconmi po, leni ban tieni yaa cagindi buolu kuli.
