< 2 Corinthians 10 >

1 Moreover, I, Paul, myself, exhort you, through the meekness and considerateness of the Christ, —I who, to look upon, indeed, am lowly toward you, but, absent, am bold towards you; —
Au, Paulus, mesaꞌ nggo, mana suraꞌ sia ia. Tantu hei ruma duꞌa taꞌo ia: mete ma au uꞌubꞌue o nggi, na, au mae olaꞌ relo-relo. Te mete ma au uꞌudodoꞌ o nggi, au umburani olaꞌ nda bambi-bambi sa. Onaꞌ naa, to? Tao-tao te, au hule fo ama rena au, huu Kristus rala malolen neu nggi, boe ma Ana hiiꞌ a fee susuen neu nggi.
2 I entreat, however, that, when present, I may not be bold with the assurance wherewith I think to be daring against some who account of us as though, according to flesh, we were walking, —
Te hambu hei ruma nda nau rena au sa. Ara olaꞌ rae, hai tatao mara, onaꞌ atahori laen sia raefafoꞌ ia tatao nara boe. Dadꞌi mete ma au eti sia naa, neꞌo au musi olaꞌ fee se nda bambi-bambi sa. Naeni de au ufadꞌe memaꞌ neu basa nggi, naa fo au eti, na au sudi boe olaꞌ nggere-nggere o se fai.
3 For, though, in flesh, we walk, not, according to flesh, do we war, —
Mae hita atahori biasa, te mete ma tatofa to atahori laen, ata afiꞌ heheaꞌ fo tareresi onaꞌ atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia nda mana rahine Lamatualain sa.
4 For, the weapons of our warfare, are not fleshly, but mighty, by God, unto a pulling down of strongholds, —
Te mete ma hita tatofa to atahori, afiꞌ liliiꞌ, huu hita tee-tanden nda onaꞌ atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia enan sa. Ma mete ma hita tatofa to atahori langga fatu mana nareresi nakandooꞌ a no nggita, na, hita o taꞌena Lamatuaꞌ koasan mana bisa bonggar nalutu atahori netehun boe.
5 When we pull down, calculations, and every height that uplifteth itself against the knowledge of God, and when we bring into captivity every thought unto the obedience of the Christ,
Lamatuaꞌ koasan bisa bonggar hendi basa dudꞌuꞌaꞌ mana labꞌan Lamatuaꞌ, mana tao atahori nda rahine E sa. Eni koasan o bisa natudꞌu dalaꞌ, fo nggati hita dala dudꞌuꞌa mbaran, no dala dudꞌuꞌa feuꞌ. No taꞌo naa, hita tanori fo duꞌa tungga Kristus nenorin.
6 And when we hold ourselves, in readiness, to avenge all disobedience, as soon as your obedience shall be fulfilled!
Hei hetar mulai tao rerenaꞌ neu Kristus, ma tao tungga basa dudꞌuꞌan ena. Te, hei ruma nda feꞌe nau tao rerenaꞌ neu E sa. Dadꞌi hai mihehere fo hukun nda mana nau rena neu E sa.
7 The things that lie on the surface, ye are looking at: —if anyone hath come to trust in himself that he is, Christ’s, this, let him reckon, again, with himself—that, even as, he, is Christ’s, so, also are, we.
Hei hiiꞌ a mete dalaꞌ mana nenenitaꞌ sia deaꞌ a. Te hei musi mete atahori rala nara. Dadꞌi mete ma hambu atahori esa nae eni Kristus atahorin, na, misinedꞌa malolole. Huu hita o Kristus atahorin, onaꞌ e boe.
8 Yea, if, somewhat more abundantly, I should boast concerning our authority—which the Lord hath given for building up and not for pulling you down, I shall not be put to shame, —
Mbei ma hei duꞌa mae, au olaꞌ uꞌulelenaꞌ soꞌal koasa fo hita Lamatuan fee neu nggita. Onaꞌ naa, do? Hokoꞌ! Huu koasa naa, sia fo tao maꞌadꞌere nggi, nda tao nalutu nggi sa. Dadꞌi au nda hela atahori tao raꞌamamaeꞌ au huu ara bonggar tao ralutu ue-tatao ngga sa.
9 That I may not seem as though I would be terrifying you through means of my letters;
Au nda uꞌena masud fo uꞌutatauꞌ nggi endiꞌ susura nggara sa.
10 Because, The letters, it is true (saith one), are weighty and strong, but, the presence of the body, is weak, and, the discourse, contemptible; —
Te atahori naa ra olaꞌ rae, “Afiꞌ tao-afiꞌ mo Paulus. Te mae susuran manaseliꞌ ma deres o, te mete ma nema aon, eni mana male-maꞌaꞌ, ma oꞌolan o nda naꞌena koasa sa.”
11 This, let such a one reckon—that, what we are, in our word, through means of letters, being absent, such, also, being present, are we, in our deed.
Naa, hela neu fo atahori mana ombo-koson taꞌo naa duꞌa dalaꞌ ia: saa fo hai suraꞌ sia susura mia dodꞌooꞌ, nda feaꞌ no saa fo hai olaꞌ a sa, mete ma hai ima sia taladꞌa mara.
12 For we dare not class or compare ourselves with some who do, themselves, commend; but, they, among themselves, measuring, themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without discernment!
Atahori ruma hiiꞌ a soꞌu-soꞌu ao nara oi, sira, Kristus dedꞌenun manaseliꞌ. Hai nda mimbirani miꞌisasamaꞌ ao mara onaꞌ se sa. Mihine ao mara, to? Te neꞌo hai nda manaseliꞌ onaꞌ sira sa! Atahori mataꞌ onaꞌ naa, sanggaꞌ a atahori onaꞌ sira boe. Ma esa tobꞌaꞌ esa, huu sira ona esaꞌ e! Nggonggoa nara dei!
13 We, however, not as to the things without measure, will boast ourselves, but, according to the measure of the limit which God apportioned unto us, as a measure—to reach as far as even you!
Tao-tao te, hai nda olaꞌ koao sa mete ma nda naꞌena netehuuꞌ sa. Hai olaꞌ baꞌu a naa soꞌal ue-tataos fo Lamatuaꞌ fee neu haiꞌ a. Saa fo hai tao fee neu nggi naa, tungga akaꞌ saa fo Lamatuaꞌ denu hai tao. Hai nda ue-tao milenaꞌ naa sa.
14 For, not as though we were not reaching unto you, are we over-stretching ourselves, for, as far as even you, were we beforehand in the glad-message of the Christ:
Matetun, hai nda olaꞌ miꞌilelenaꞌ sa, leleꞌ hai olaꞌ koao soꞌal hei. Huu hai ia ra, mana ima dui-bꞌengga neu nggi soꞌal Kristus Hara-lii Malolen. Hei o simbo hai oꞌolam boe. Mete ma Lamatuaꞌ nda denu nita hai sa, te hai olaꞌ koao soꞌal hei, na, naa nda matetuꞌ sa.
15 Not, as to the things without measure, boasting ourselves in other men’s toils, but having, hope—your faith, growing—among you, to be enlarged, according to our limit for something beyond, —
Mete ma atahori laen mana ue tao, na, hai nda olaꞌ koao sa mae, naa huu hai ue-tataom. Te pantin na, naeni, hei nemehere mara boe manggatee. No taꞌo naa, hai ue-tataom fee nggi eniꞌ a fai dalahulun, buna-boan boe namanae nakandooꞌ a.
16 Unto the regions beyond you, to carry the glad-message: not, within another man’s limit, as to the things made ready, to boast ourselves.
Basa naa hai bisa mii dui-bꞌengga Kristus Hara-lii Malolen sia mamana-mamana mana sia hei bobꞌoa mara, fo atahori nda feꞌe reu ue-tao sia naa sa. Huu hai nda nau olaꞌ koao mendiꞌ atahori laen ue-tataon sa.
17 He that boasteth, however, in the Lord, let him boast;
Te sia Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren, nenesuraꞌ nae, “Mete ma hambu atahori sa nae olaꞌ koao, na, hela neu fo ana olaꞌ koao soꞌal hita Lamatualain.”
18 For, not he that commendeth himself, he, is approved, but he whom, the Lord, doth commend.
Mete ma atahori sa olaꞌ koao soꞌal aon, naa nda naꞌena sosoan saa-saa sa boe. Te mete ma hita Lamatuan mana soꞌu kokoaꞌ neu atahori naa, na, naa feꞌe manaseliꞌ ena!
