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.

An Paulo, jaote mar Kristo Yesu kuom dwaro mar Nyasaye; kod owadwa Timotheo, Ne kanisa Nyasaye man Korintho, kaachiel gi jomaler duto man Akaya:

2 May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

Ngʼwono gi kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuonwa kod Ruoth Yesu Kristo obed kodu.

3 Blessed is the God and Father of Jesus Christ our Lord, the all-merciful Father, the God ever ready to console,

Duongʼ obed ni Nyasaye ma Wuon Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo, kendo ma Wuon ngʼwono kendo Nyasach Loch duto,

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.

en ema olochonwa e chandruok duto mamakowa, mondo wabed gi nyalo mar hoyo joma moko manie chandruok, ka wahoyogi gi hoch ma Nyasaye osehoyowago wan wawegi.

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.

Nikech, mana kaka wan e achiel gi Kristo e sandruok duto mane oneno, e kaka wan kode e hoch mochiwo.

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;

Ka isandowa, to mano timorenwa mondo uyud hoch kod warruok; to ka wayudo hoch, to en mana ni mondo Nyasaye okonyu mondo udhil gi sand ma wan bende wayudo.

7 and our hope for you remains unshaken. We know that, as you are sharing our sufferings, you will also share our consolation.

Kendo geno marwa kuomu ogurore motegno; nikech wangʼeyo ni kaka uyudo sand kodwa e kaka uyudo hoch kodwa.

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.

Jowete, ok wadwar mondo ubed ka ukia, kaka ne waneno masiche mapek e piny Asia. Ne oyie kuomwa masiche madongo kendo mapek moingowa tingʼo mine wajok gibedo mangima.

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.

Chutho, ne wawinjo e chunywa ka gima nosengʼadnwa buch tho. To magi notimorenwa mondo waket genowa kuom Nyasaye ma chiero joma otho, to ok kuomwa wawegi.

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.

En ema noseresowa e dho tho malich kamano kendo obiro resowa. Kuome waseketoe genowa ni pod obiro resowa,

11 And then many lips will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us in answer to many prayers.

ka umedo konyowa gi lemo maru. Mano nomi ji mangʼeny nodwokne Nyasaye erokamano kuom gweth momiyowa, kodwoko lemo mag ji mangʼeny.

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.

Koro ma e sunga marwa: Chunywa miyowa ratiro ni wasedak e pinyni, to moloyo e winjruok marwa kodu, ka waluoro Nyasaye kendo ka wawuotho e ler mar adier. Ok wasedak kamano nikech waluwo rieko mar pinyni, to nikech ngʼwono mar Nyasaye.

13 We never write anything to you other than what you will acknowledge to the very end –

Nikech ok wandiknu gik matek ma ok unyal somo mi uwinj tiendgi. Omiyo ageno ni,

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.

mana kaka koro usengʼeyowa moromo, e kaka ubiro medo ngʼeyowa chuth, mondo uchop e okangʼ munyalo sungoru nikech wan, mana kaka wan bende wabiro sungore nikech un e odiechieng Ruoth Yesu.

15 With this conviction in my mind, I planned to come to see you first, so that your pleasure might be doubled –

Nikech ne an-gi ratiro kuom wachni, ne achano mar limou mokwongo mondo ne uyud gweth manyadiriyo.

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.

Ne achano mondo alimu kane anie wuodha adhi Makedonia, bende ne achano rawo iru ka aa kuno, mondo ayud kony kuomu e wuodha madhi Judea.

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’?

Kane achano kamano, uparo nine atimo kamano ka atugo? Koso uparo ni aloso chenrona ka japiny, ma anyalo kiko wach ka ayie niya, “Ee, Ee” kendo achako akwer ni “Ooyo, Ooyo?”

18 As God is true, the message that we brought you does not waver between ‘Yes’ and ‘No’!

Kaka Nyasachwa en ja-adiera, wach ma wasebedo ka wawacho kodu ok en “Ee” gi “Ooyo.”

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.’

Nikech Yesu Kristo, Wuod Nyasaye, mane wayalonu wachne, wan gi Sila gi Timotheo, ne ok en “ee” gi “ooyo” to osebedo “ee” kinde duto,

20 For, many as were the promises of God, in Christ is the ‘Yes’ that fulfills them. Therefore, through Christ again, let the ‘Amen’ rise, through us, to the glory of God.

nikech singruok ma Nyasaye osetimo kodwa duto kar rombgi gin, “Ee kuom Kristo.” Mano emomiyo kwamiyo Nyasaye duongʼ kwalamo e nying Kristo to wawacho niya, “Amin.”

21 God who brings us, with you, into close union with Christ, and who consecrated us,

To Nyasaye owuon ema osemiyo un kod wan wachungʼ motegno kuom Kristo. En ema osewirowa,

22 also set his seal on us, and gave us his Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of future blessings.

mi oketo kido kuomwa manyiso ni wan joge bende oseketo Roho mare e chunywa kaka singo mar gima biro.

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.

Aluongo Nyasaye mondo obed janeno mara, ka anyisou ni ne ok aduogo Korintho mana mondo omi kik akelnu kuyo.

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.

Ok wawach kamano nikech watemo bedo gi teko kuom yie maru, to watiyo kodu kaachiel mondo uchungʼ motegno e yie maru ka umor.
