2 Corinthians 13
1 [In the Scriptures it is stated that when one person] accuses [another of wrongdoing, you must not believe his] accusation [right away]. [First, you must listen to at least] two or three people who actually saw what happened. [So keep in mind that] this will be the third time that I will visit you!
Hagi ko tarezupa tamagrira eme tamagenoreti, menina eme tamage'naku neoe. Hagi avontafemo'a anage hu'ne. Mika tamage kemofona tareo tagufa vahe'mofo nanekemo hutmagea hanigeno, anankemo'a tamagea megahie hu'ne. (Diu-Kas 19:15)
2 When I visited you the second time, I warned you [that I was going to punish all the wrongdoers among you]. [And now] I am [warning you] again while I am still away [from you]. When I visit you this third time, I will punish those who were sinning [at the time when I visited you] before [and who are still sinning], and I will [punish] the others [who have been sinning since then, if they have not stopped their sinful behavior].
Nagra ese'ma ete'na anantema e'norera, kava huta maniho nanekea ko tamasmi'noe. Hagi menina tamagri enena omaninoanagi, mago'ane kumima nehaza vahetamine, mago'a vahetaminena kva huta manisaza nanekea neramasamue. Nagrama henkama esnuna kumi'ma nehaza vahera tamazo onkigahuanki, knaza eme tamigahue.
3 Because you have demanded that I prove to you that Christ is speaking [to you when] I [speak to you, I will show you that I speak to you as his apostle. Christ] does not approve of your sinful behavior. On the contrary, he will powerfully [discipline you].
Kraisi'ma nagri nagipina huvazino nehia kemofo agafa'a kesunegu'ma nehaza zankura, emeri ama hugahie. Kraisi'ma tamagripima eri'zama eneriana fru huno e'norianki hanavetino eri'zana enerie. Agri himamu hankave'mo tamagripina me'ne.
4 [It is true that] Christ [seemed to be] weak when he was crucified {when [people] killed him by nailing him to the cross}. But [it is also true that] he [now] lives because God [worked] powerfully [to bring him back to life. Similarly], as I [serve] God, I also am a weak human [being as Christ was]. But I also [have a close relationship with] Christ [who is now alive again]. And with his [authority] I will use God’s power [to discipline] you.
Tamage, hanave'a omanegeno keka zafarera fri'ne. Menina Agra, Anumzamofo hankavere kasefa huno asimu erino mani'ne. Na'ankure tagri'enena anahukna huno hanavetia omneanagi, Kraisimpi mani'neta Anumzamofo hanave erineta, ana hanavereti tamagripina erizana e'nerune.
5 Each of you should ask yourself: “[Do I] believe [God’s message about Christ?]” Each of you should [examine yourselves to] make sure that you truly do [believe] in Christ [and so truly belong to him], and that [his Spirit lives] in you [(pl)]. When you examine yourselves [in that way], I am sure that you will [RHQ] say [to me], “Yes, of course we [belong to] Christ.”
Tamagratmi'a avame antetma tamagu'a refko huta keho, tamentintifi maninazafi? Hifi tamagra'a tamaguafina refko huta nonkazafi, Jisas Kraisima tamaguafima mani'neana, Agrira keta antahita nosaze.
6 I am [also] certain that you will know that I [belong to Christ, just like you do].
Hianagi nagrama namentintima huana, tagratia rehezampintira evunoramune huta antahita keta hugahaze.
7 But [because I do not want to have to punish you], I am praying to God that he will help you not to do anything evil [that would cause me to have to punish you. I pray this], not in order that when people [who say that I am not your apostle] realize [that my ministry among you has been very successful, they will have to agree] that I do have authority from Christ. Instead, [I pray this because I want] you to do what is right, even though that might mean that [my opponents would think] that I do not have authority from Christ, [since I would not have an opportunity to show my authority to discipline you].
Havi avu'ava osihogu Anumzamofontega nunamuna nehune. Hanki erizantimofonku vahe'mo'za huknare hihogura nunamuna nosune. Hianagi erizantimo'a eamara huno knarera osnianagi, tamagra fatgo tamavutmava hihogu nunamuna nehune.
8 [If you do what is right, I will not discipline you], [because it would] not [be right for me to do that if you are conducting your lives the way you should, like] God’s true [message says that you should. What God asks me to do is to help people to know and obey his] true [message].
Na'ankure tagra tamage kemofo ha'renenteta rutagregara osunonanagi, tamage kemofonke amage antegahune.
9 I am happy [whenever] you are strongly [trusting and obeying Christ, and because of that I do not have to use my authority to discipline you. It does not matter to me if that makes people think that I do not have any authority]. Truly, what I am praying for is that [God] will [help] you to completely change your conduct.
Tagra muse nehune, na'ankure tagrira hankavetia omne'neanagi, tamagrira hanavetmia me'negu, tamazeri knare zantfa haniegu nunamuna hunermantone.
10 That is why I am writing these things while I am still away from you. [What I want is that] when I visit you, [you will already be conducting your lives as God wants you to], and so I will not have to [discipline you] severely, as the [Lord Jesus Christ gave me] the authority to do. The authority that I have from the Lord is to help you to become [spiritually] mature believers, not to cause you to stop [trusting in him].
Na'ankure tamagri'enena omani'noanagi, ama agafare avona krenetamuanki'na, nagrama tamagranema manisuna knazana ontaminaku nehue. Ramo'ma himamuma nami'nea hanavereti, tamazeri haviza hunakura nosuanki, tamazeri hanavetisugeta hagetma tamentintifina marerisazegu nehue.
11 Finally, my fellow believers, [I say to you], be joyful. Completely [change how you conduct your lives], and do what I have urged you [to do]. Be united in what you think [about the matters about which I have written to you]. Live peacefully [with each other. If you do those things], God, who [enables you to] love [each other] and be peaceful, will bless [MTY] you.
Hagi nafunagnaheta huvagare nanekea anage hu'na kreneramue, muse nehuta, mago'ane tamamentintifina hanavenetita, ozeri hanaveti azeri hanaveti nehuta, magoke antahintahi enerita, tamarimpa fru nehinkeno, avesimaneranteno rimpafruzama neramia Anumzamo'a tamagrane manigahie
12 Greet each other affectionately as [fellow members] of God’s family [should].
Mago magomofona antako hunentenka avataginka azeri fru huo.
13 All God’s people [here] send you greetings.
Miko Anumzamofo naga'mo'za musenke atreramantaze.
14 [I pray that] the Lord Jesus Christ will act kindly [toward] all of you, in ways that you do not deserve, that God will [show all of you how much he] loves you, and that the Holy Spirit [will cause you to have good] fellowship [with him and with each other].
Hagi Ramofo Jisas Kraisi asunku zamo'ene Anumzamofo avesi zamo'ene Avamumo'enema tagroteno mani' avu'ava zamo'a mikomotmafi mesie.
