2 Corinthians 1
1 To the church of God in Corinth, and to all Christ’s people throughout Greece, from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, and from Timothy, who is also a follower.
PAULUS wanporon en Iesus Kristus amen pan kupur en Kot o ri atail Timoteus ong momodisou en Kot, me mi Korint o saraui kan karos, me mi Akaia.
2 May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
Mak o popol sang ren Kot Sam atail o atail Kaun Iesus Kristus en mi re omail.
3 Blessed is the God and Father of Jesus Christ our Lord, the all-merciful Father, the God ever ready to console,
Meid iasanai Kot o Sam en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus, o Sam en kalangan, o Kot en kamait pokon,
4 who consoles us in all our troubles, so that we may be able to console those who are in any trouble with the consolation that we ourselves receive from him.
Me kin kamakamait kit ni at kamekam kan karos, pwe kit en pil kak kamait ir ala, me mi nan song en kamekam akan karos, ki kamait, me kit kamait kila ren Kot.
5 It is true that we have our full share of the sufferings of the Christ, but through the Christ we have also our full share of consolation.
Pwe duen Kristus a kamekam me muladok ong kit, iduen kamait ren Kristus pil itar penang kit.
6 If we meet with trouble, it is for the sake of your consolation and salvation; and, if we find consolation, it is for the sake of the consolation that you will experience when you are called to endure the sufferings that we ourselves are enduring;
A ma kit pai olar, nan a kin wiaui, pwen kamait o kamaur komail la, mepukat kin wiaui ni omail kanongama ni kalokolok ota, me kit kin kalokolokki.
7 and our hope for you remains unshaken. We know that, as you are sharing our sufferings, you will also share our consolation.
O at kaporopor kin komail me tengeteng, pwe se asa, ma komail iang kamekam, komail pil pan iang kamaitala.
8 We want you, friends, to know that, in the troubles which befell us in Roman Asia, we were burdened altogether beyond our strength, so much so that we even despaired of life.
Ri ai ol akan, se sota men, komail en sasa duen at kamekam nan Asien o at patau kaualap, lao solar kaporopor en maur at.
9 Indeed, we had the presentiment that we must die, so that we might rely, not on ourselves, but on God who raises the dead.
Ari, kit lamedar, me se pan mela. A mepukat wiauier, pwe sen der keleki pein kit, pwe Kot eta, me kin kaiasada me melar akan.
10 And from so imminent a death God delivered us, and will deliver us again; for in him we have placed our hopes of future deliverance, while you, also, help us by your prayers.
Me kotin dore kit ala sang mela wet, o a pil pan dore kit ala; o se kaporoporeki, me a pil pan kotin dore kit ala kokolata.
11 And then many lips will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us in answer to many prayers.
Komail pil sauasa kit ni omail ngidingid, pwe me toto en danke pweki at pai me se aleer.
12 Indeed, our main ground for satisfaction is this – Our conscience tells us that our conduct in the world, and still more in our relations with you, was marked by a purity of motive and a sincerity that were inspired by God, and was based, not on worldly policy, but on the help of God.
Pwe iet kaping pat: Insen at kin kadede ong kit, me se weweideki karakarak o melel en Kot nin sappa o nan pung omail, kaidin ni lolekong en pali uduk, a ki mak en Kot.
13 We never write anything to you other than what you will acknowledge to the very end –
At inting wong komail kaidin toror sang me komail kin wadok o kamelele. A i kaporoporeki me komail pan kamelele kit kokolata duen akai komail kamelele kit er.
14 And, indeed, you have already partly acknowledged it about us – that you have a right to be proud of us, as we will be proud of you, on the day of our Lord Jesus.
Pwe kit me kaping pa omail, dueta komail me kaping pat ni ran en Kaun Iesus.
15 With this conviction in my mind, I planned to come to see you first, so that your pleasure might be doubled –
A ni kaporopor wet, me i men pwar kilang komail mas o, pwe komail en pur ong pereperen.
16 To visit you both on my way to Macedonia, and to come to you again on my return from Macedonia, and then to get you to send me on my way into Judea.
I ap pan daulul lang komail ni ai pan kolang Masetonien, ap pil puredo re omail sang Masetonien, a komail pan kalua ia lang Iudäa.
17 As this was my plan, where, pray, did I show any fickleness of purpose? Or do you think that my plans are formed on mere impulse, so that in the same breath I say “Yes” and “No”?
A iaduen, ngai me sapung ni ai kileledier mepukat? De i kin kileledi mepukat ni tiak en pali uduk, pwen ei ei o so so tapi sang pein ngai?
18 As God is true, the message that we brought you does not waver between “Yes” and “No”!
A Kot me melel, pwe me se indang komail me sota ei o so.
19 The Son of God, Christ Jesus, whom we – Silas, Timothy, and I – proclaimed among you, never wavered between “Yes” and “No.” With him it has always been “Yes.”
Pwe sapwilim en Kot Iesus Kristus, me kit padaki ong komail er, ngai, o Silwanus, o Timoteus, i kaidin ei o so, a ei eta re a,
20 For, many as were the promises of God, in Christ is the “Yes” that fulfils them. Therefore, through Christ again, let the “Amen” rise, through us, to the glory of God.
Pwe inau en Kot akan karos me ei eta re a o me amen re a, pwe kit en kalinganada Kot.
21 God who brings us, with you, into close union with Christ, and who consecrated us,
A me kin katinai kit o komail pan Kristus o keie kitail er, iei Kot,
22 also set his seal on us, and gave us his Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of future blessings.
Me pil kotin kileledier kitail o kotiki ong kitail er komoan Ngen nan mongiong atail.
23 But, as my life will answer for it, I call God to witness that it was to spare you that I deferred my visit to Corinth.
A i kin likwir ong Kot me saunkadede en ngen i, me i saikenta pwara wong komail nan Korint, pwe i de katoutoui komail.
24 I do not mean that we are to dictate to you with regard to your faith; on the contrary, we work with you for your true happiness; indeed, it is through your faith that you are standing firm.
Kit sota men poedi omail poson, a kit men sauasa ta omail peren, pwe komail keleki poson.
