2 Corinthians 1
1 [I], Paul, who [write this letter to you], became an apostle of Christ Jesus because God chose me for that. [Timothy, our] fellow believer, [is with me. I am sending this letter] to you who are God’s people in the congregations in Corinth [city. I want] the believers who live in [other places] in Achaia [province to also read this letter].
Bulus, una kadura ka Yesu unu bura uru usuro imum be sa ugomo Asere ma nyra nan Timitawus uhenu uru me uhana ahira anu tarsa utize ta Asere sa raa Ukorintis, nigoo nan de sa wazi lau anyimo akaya vat.
2 [We(exc) desire] that you will [experience] God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ [acting] kindly toward you and causing you to have [inner] peace.
Urunta wan tichukum memerum usuro ahira Ugomo Asere aco aru Yesu Unu bura uru.
3 [We should] praise God, who is the father of our [(inc)] Lord Jesus Christ. He always pities us and helps us [because he is like] [MET] a father to us [and we are like his children]. He always encourages us [(inc)].
Ca Ti nya Ugomo Asere aco a Yesu ni nonzo. Me mani unu bura uru. Aco unu kunna ugoggoni, Asere ati yom vat.
4 He has encouraged us [(exc)] whenever we suffered hardships. As a result, we [(exc)] are able to encourage others whenever they suffer hardships, just as/just like God has encouraged us [(exc)].
Ugomo Asere ma wuzan duru tiyom anyimo timum me sa ta kem duru, bati haru ma ti wuzi an desa wa ra anyimo ijasi tiyom. Usuro ati yom be sa ta kem ahira Ugomo Asere.
5 It is true that just like Christ suffered, we [who serve him] also continually suffer [because we belong to him]. But also, because we [belong to] Christ, God greatly strengthens us (just as/just like) [God strengthened him].
Gusi uzito be sa unu bura uru me uzi unu wuza gbardang ace aru me, ane ane ani tiyom tiru me ti zinu tizi nu wuza gbardang ahira unu bura uru.
6 So, whenever we [(exc)] experience sufferings, we [learn how to encourage] you [when you experience sufferings. As a result, you will become more and more the kind of people God] wants you to be. Whenever [God] strengthens us [(exc) when we are suffering, he] does that in order that you [may see how he makes us strong when we are suffering. Then, as God] encourages [you in that way], you will learn to continue patiently [trusting him] when you suffer as we do.
Inki ta zito barki tiyom tishe tini nanu kaba ushi ushi me anyimo uzito ugino me, inki awuzan duru tiyom me, a wuza tini barki she wani, tiyom ti gino me, awuza tini anyimo utira iriba ini nan iriba isheu, nan nirere be sa ti zinu sa me.
7 As a result, we [(exc)] strongly expect that because you suffer just as/just like we do, [God] will encourage you (just as/just like) [he] encourages us.
Ta inko muriba ace ashi me vat sa ti rusa ugu ashi me ira anyo uzito me uni, uni mani ikuri ira anyimo atiyomme.
8 [Our] fellow believers, we [(exc)] want you to know [LIT] about the trouble that we suffered in Asia [province]. That trouble was so very great that it was much more than we were able to endure. As a result, we [(exc)] thought that we would certainly die.
Ya ira nihenu, tida nyara me i diri urusa uzito uge be sa wa kem diru anyimo Uasiyw, imum ya wun duru gbardang, ti kari mu riba mu guna ana tidi kuri ti cukuno anu vengize unee me.
9 Indeed, we felt [like a person feels when he has heard a judge say], “I condemn you to die/be executed [MET].” But [God allowed us to think that we were going to die] so that we would not (rely on/trust in) our own [strength. He wanted us] instead [to rely] only on his [strength, because he] is the one who [has power even to make] those who have died live [again].
Kadure kani, tidi wiji tizon diru ana ticukum anyimo unee ugeme, barki ani me kati ti hiri ace aru me gusi iri imum ini izi, ca ti insi aje aru ahira de be sa ma hirzizza an de sa wa wijo.
10 And [even though] we [(exc)] were [in terrible danger and were] about to die, God rescued us. And he will continue to rescue us [whenever we are in trouble]. We confidently expect that he will continue to rescue us [time after time].
De be sa ma suso duru anyimo iwono idangang, madi kuri ma suso duru anyimo a'ini u aye ukani me.
11 [And we are also relying on] you to help us by praying for us [(exc)]. [If many people pray for us], many people will also thank [God] when [he] kindly answers those many prayers [and delivers us from danger].
Shi me benki ni haru in biringara, barki anu gbardang wa wuzi muriba mu ruum in haru, barki imum iriri be sa a nyan diru ini atari ta nu gbardang si.
12 I am happy [to say] that I have behaved toward all people [MTY] in an honest and sincere way. My conscience assures me [that this is true]. Especially, I have behaved toward you [honestly and sincerely because that is what] God wants us to do. As I have done that, [my thoughts] have not been the thoughts that unbelieving people [MTY] [think are] wise. Instead, [I have behaved toward people only as God wants me to, depending on] God to help me in ways that I do not deserve.
Ukunna urunta uru wazi gino me, ubezi imum iriba iru me, ati cukumnti lzu tini kara nu ugomo Asere sa ma zin anyimo unee, adi kigu ahira ashi me ani acukuno sas, azo agi urusa uni pum uni uzi, u'ira ugomo Asere uni.
13 [I say that] because [in all my letters to you] I have always written [LIT] clearly in a way that you can easily and completely understand [when you] read them.
Azo ugunna ta nyertike shi iri mum isas ini nan ni geme sa izi nu basa me. Nyanini ige be sa izinu bezizi anabu. In zinu inso iriba uguna idi bezi we i'aki ani me.
14 [Previously some of] you, but not all of you, have completely understood [that I am always honest and sincere with you]. But I confidently expect that [soon] you will all be fully convinced [about that]. Then when the Lord Jesus [MTY] [returns, you will all be able to say that] you are pleased with me, just like I will [be able to say that] I am pleased with you.
Gusi ubezi me sa ya wuzan duru uni cincin, u nu guna haru wani nikara ni shi me, rono u'aye ugomo uru me Yeso.
15 It was because I felt sure [that all of you were pleased with me] that I was planning to visit you on my way from [here] to Macedonia [province]. I also planned to visit you again on my way back from there, so that I could [spend time with you] twice, and be able to help you more, and I was hoping that you would [give me things that I needed] [EUP] for my journey to Judea [province].
Maazin ini iriba ini riba u aye ahira a shi me azo kane ini izi ba, barki ikem imum kare. Inki ma aye ahira ashi me indi aki uhana Umakiduniya in kuri in ze ahira ahi me, bati itibim Uyahadiya.
Uganiya sa ma wuu ani me.
17 So then, even though I [changed my mind later and did not do what] I [first] planned to do, [it was not because I did not have an important reason for changing my plans]. Surely you do not [really think] that I decide what I am going to do like people who do not know God do! [RHQ] I am [not like that]. I am not [a person who] says [to people], “Yes, [certainly I will do that],” and then [for no good reason changes his mind and says], “No, [I will not do it].”
Uganiya sa maa basa ani me, i hira gusi mwzi unu basa sas ini? nani in basa imum gusi anu abu sa wadi gu “Eh, eh” wa kuri ane ani ba uganiya u'inde me?
18 Just as surely as God always does what he says [he will do, it is true that I have never said], “Yes, [I will do this]” when I [really meant] “No.”
Sa ugomo Asere unu usa abanga mani, tize tiru azo me ti guna e nani “O, o” uganiya u'inde uni ba.
19 [I follow the example of] God’s Son, Jesus Christ. When I, along with Silas and Timothy, taught you [about Christ], we told you that he was not [someone who said that he] would do [something] and [then] did not [do it]. Jesus Christ never [said to anyone], “Yes, [I will do what you desire],” and [then did] not [do it].
Sa Yeso vana Asere, unu bura uru unu be sa ti boo tize ti meme ahira ashi me, mi nan Silvanus wan Timitawus, daki tizi eh nani “O, o” nani “Eh” inin cas.
20 [We(inc) know that is true], because everything that God promised to do [for his people], he has done completely by [sending] Christ [to save us]. That is why we say, “Yes, it is true! [God has done everything that he promised to do]!” And we praise him for that!
Vat imum be sa Asere ma wuza eh irani urani anyimo me, barki ani me anyimo ameme uguna icukuno ani me urani. U'ira uyeze ugomo Asere ahira aru me
21 Now it is only God himself who causes us [(exc)], as well as you, to keep on [believing] strongly in Christ. God is the one who chose us [(inc) to belong to him and to have a close relationship] with Christ.
Me, de be sama inta diru ni goo nan shi me anyimo ani za ni nu ukaba uru me ma kuri makbicon diru ugomo Asere mani.
22 He also sent his Holy Spirit into our [(inc)] lives to mark us as belonging to himself [MET]. Also, since he has sent his Spirit to live in us [(inc)], [he wants us to know by this that] he guarantees [MET] [to give us every other] ([blessing/good thing]) [that he has promised].
De be sa ma turan diru ma nyan diru mazuu ma bibe biriri anyimo amu riba muru me.
23 So now [I will tell you why I changed my mind and did not visit you as I intended to do]: God himself knows [that what I am telling you is true]. The reason that I did not return to Corinth was so that I might not have to [speak to you severely about the wrong that you had done].
Abanna me in tisa ugomo Asere, barki me mani unu ukure umme sa ma nyarum u'eye Ukorintis barki in kaska shi uhuna apum.
24 It is not that Silas, Timothy and I want to boss you [and tell you that you must] believe only what we say. [Not at all]! On the contrary, we [(exc)] are working as partners [with you] in order to make you happy. [We do not try to force you to believe everything that we believe, because we are sure that you are continuing to] trust [the Lord Jesus Christ] and that you are remaining firmly committed to him.
Azo uguna huru ti cukuno a gomo azesere akadura kashi me, abanna me ti zinu benki ushi iriba irum ini, barki ka dundure kashi ka turi dert.
