2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, and Timothy the brother, —unto the assembly of God which is in Corinth, together with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

Ma sel Paul, sie mwet sap lun Christ Jesus ke lungse lun God, ac oayapa Timothy, mwet wiasr in lulalfongi — Nu sin church lun God in acn Corinth, ac nu sin mwet lun God nukewa apunla acn Achaia:

2 Favour unto you, and peace, from God [our] Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.

Lungkulang ac misla nu suwos sin God Papa tumasr ac Leum Jesus Christ.

3 Blessed, be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement,

Lela kut in sang kulo nu sin God, Papa tumun Leum lasr Jesus Christ, Papa su arulana pakoten, ac God su kasrekut ac akwoyekut!

4 Who encourageth us in all our tribulation, to the end we may be able to encourage them who are in any tribulation—through means of the encouragement wherewith we, ourselves, are encouraged by God.

El kasrekut in mwe lokoalok nukewa lasr, tuh kut in ku in kasru mwet ngia ke kutena mwe lokoalok ma oasr yorolos, ke ouiyen kasru se pacna ma God El kasrekut kac.

5 Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ overflow unto us, so, through the Christ, overfloweth, our encouragement also.

In oana ke kut wi ipeis ke mwe keok puspis lun Christ, ouinge in Christ kut oayapa ipeis ke kasru lulap lun God.

6 But, whether we are in tribulation, it is for your encouragement and salvation; whether we are encouraged, it is for your encouragement, which worketh inwardly by the endurance of the same sufferings which, we also, suffer; —

Kut fin keok, ma inge mwe kasru ac mwe molela nu suwos; fin kasreyuk kut, na kasreyuk pac kowos, ac ac fah itukot pac ku nu suwos tuh kowos in ku in mongfisrasr in mutangla mwe keok pacna ma kut mutangla.

7 And so, our hope, is sure in your behalf, —knowing that, —as ye are sharers of the sufferings, so, also of the encouragement.

Ke ma inge finsrak lasr in kowos arulana ku, ac kut etu lah ke kowos wi ipeis ke keok lasr, kowos oayapa ipeis ke mwe kasru nu sesr.

8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened in Asia, —that, exceedingly, beyond power, were we weighed down, so that we despaired, even of life.

Mwet lili ac lulu, kut kena akesmakye kowos ke ma upa su kut tuh pulakin in acn Asia. Ma toasr su filiyuki facsr arulana yohk ac toasrlana, oru kut fuhleak finsrak nukewa lasr mu kut ac moul.

9 But, we ourselves, within ourselves, have had the sentence of death, that we might not rest our confidence upon ourselves, but upon God, who raiseth the dead,

Kut nunku mu kut ac misa. Tusruktu ma inge sikyak tuh kut in tia lulalfongi kacsr sifacna, a kut in lulalfongi God mukena, su akmoulyauk mwet misa.

10 Who, out of so great a death, rescued us, and will rescue, —unto whom we have turned our hope, [that], even yet, he will rescue:

El molikutla liki mwe sensen puspis ma kut ac ku in misa kac, ac El ac fah sifil molikutla; ouinge kut filiya finsrak lasr in El tuh El ac fah sifilpa molikutla

11 Ye also labouring together on our behalf, by your supplication, that, unto many persons, being due the gift of favour, unto us, through means of many, might thanks be given in our behalf.

oana ke kowos oayapa kasrekut ke pre lowos. Ouinge pre puspis lun mwet uh kacsr ac fah topukyuk, ac God El fah akinsewowoye kut, ac mwet puspis fah sang kulo nu sin God kacsr.

12 For, our boasting, is, this, —the witness of our conscience, that, in sanctity and sincerity of God, [and] not in fleshly wisdom, but in God’s favour, have we behaved ourselves in the world, —and more abundantly towards you.

Kut sifacna konkin lah ma kut pulakin insiasr uh akkalemye lah ouiyen moul lasr fin faclu pwayena ac suwohs ye mutun God, ac yokna ke kut tuh muta inmasrlowos, ke sripen ku lun kulang lun God, ac tia ke lalmwetmet lun mwet.

13 For, no other things, are we writing unto you, than what ye are either reading or even acknowledging, —I hope, moreover, that, throughout, ye will acknowledge,

Tuh kut sim nu suwos ke ma na kowos ku in riti ac kalem kac. Nga finsrak kowos in arulana kalem kac,

14 According as ye have also acknowledged us, in part, —that, your theme of boasting, we are, even indeed as, ye, also [shall be], ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

kowos finne soenna arulana kalem kac inge — tuh ke Len lun Leum Jesus, kowos ac fah ku in insewowo kacsr oana ke kut insewowo keiwos.

15 And, in this confidence, I purposed, before, to come unto you, —in order that, a second joy, ye might have, —

Ke sripen nga etu na lah ouinge, pwanang nga tuh akoo in fahsrot nu yuruwos meet, tuh kowos in akinsewowoyeyuk pacl luo.

16 And, by your means, to pass into Macedonia, and, again, from Macedonia, to come unto you, and, by you, be set forward unto Judea: —

Mweyen nga lumahla tari ngan mutwata yuruwos ke fahsr se luk nu Macedonia, ac sifilpa ke folok luk we me uh, tuh nga in eis kasru luk suwos nu ke fahla luk nu Judea.

17 This, then, being my purpose, perhaps, after all, with lightness, I dealt [with the matter]? or, the things that I purpose, according to the flesh, I purpose, —that, with me, should be the Yea, yea, and the Nay, nay?

Ke nga ako ouinge, ya kowos nunku mu nga oana mwet ma sa in ekulla nunak la uh? Pacl nga oru pwapa luk uh, ya nga oru ke lungse luk sifacna, akola na in fahk, “Aok, aok” meet, na tok nga ekulla fahk mu “Mo, mo?”

18 Faithful, however, is God, in that, our discourse, which was [delivered] unto you, is not Yea and Nay;

A oana ke God El pwaye ke ma El fahk uh, wulela luk nu suwos tiana “Aok’ ac oayapa “Mo.”

19 For, the Son of God, Christ Jesus—who, among you, through us, was proclaimed, —through me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, became not Yea and Nay, —but Yea, in him, hath it become;

Tuh Jesus Christ, Wen nutin God, su nga ac Silas ac Timothy tuh luti nu suwos kacl, el tia sie su sisani “Aok” ac “Mo.” Pacl nukewa el “Aok” na.

20 For, how many soever be the promises of God, in him, is the Yea, —wherefore also, through him, [be] the Amen, unto God, for glory, through us.

Mweyen el pa “Aok” nu ke wuleang nukewa lun God. Ke ma inge kut fahk “Amen” inen Jesus Christ, nu ke wolana lun God.

21 Now, he that confirmeth us, together with you, for Christ, and hath anointed us, is God:

God sifacna pa akkeye kut oayapa kowos ke kut kupasryang nu sin Christ. God sifacna pa srikutelik,

22 Who also hath sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

ac filiya sie mwe akul facsr in akkalemye lah kut ma lal, ac El ase Ngun Mutal in oan insiasr tuh in mwe akpwayei ke ma nukewa su El akoela nu sesr.

23 But, I, call upon God, as a witness, against my own soul, —that, to spare you, not yet, have I come unto Corinth:

Nga pang nu sin God tuh El etu nunak lun insiuk! Nga tuh tila fahsrot nu Corinth ke sripen nga tia lungse akelyaye kowos.

24 Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are, helpers, of your joy, for, by your faith, ye stand.

Kut tia srike in sapkin ma kowos in lulalfongi; kut etu lah kowos tu ku in lulalfongi. A kut wi kowos orekma, tuh in mwe akenganye kowos.
