2 Corinthians 10
1 But as for me Paul, I entreat you by the gentleness and self-forgetfulness of Christ--I who when among you have not an imposing personal presence, but when absent am fearlessly outspoken in dealing with you.
Meng Bulu, men litinin din fuo minu acar, bara utoltinu liti nin sheu in Kristi na men na kifo kubi kona iwa di nan ghin, bara indin fuo figiri ni ghinu kubi kona indi nan ghinu ba.
2 I beseech you not to compel me when present to make a bold display of the confidence with which I reckon I shall show my 'courage' against some who reckon that we are guided by worldly principles.
Idin fuo minu acar, na iwadi nan ghin, na ina yitya in pun figiri nin nayi ale na uca, bara mma yinu ba nin na le na iworo arik tin cin nanya kidawo.
3 For, though we are still living in the world, it is no worldly warfare that we are waging.
BAara na tidin cin nanya kidawo, aina likum bite kin kidawari ba.
4 The weapons with which we fight are not human weapons, but are mighty for God in overthrowing strong fortresses.
Bara imong kabung bite in kidawari ba. Bara nanin ti dini nimong likara kitene na nazu adadu likar, na idin dasu nin ma yartdan ma hem '
5 For we overthrow arrogant 'reckonings,' and every stronghold that towers high in defiance of the knowledge of God, and we carry off every thought as if into slavery--into subjection to Christ;
Tutung tidin nanzu vat nimon ile na imafitu kitene Kutell, tiyiru vat nkpilzu usu kucin nruu Kristi.
6 while we hold ourselves in readiness to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as ever you as a Church have fully shown your obedience.
Tidin caa ubucu vat nittwa isalin ni liti iwase ati uni nati mune ukulo
7 Is it outward appearances you look to? If any man is confident as regards himself that he specially belongs to Christ, let him consider again and reflect that just as he belongs to Christ, so also do we.
ilemong na idi cana ibunmine. Andi umong yina ayita nafo Kristi na yita nafo Kristiare wang.
8 If, however, I were to boast more loudly of our Apostolic authority, which the Lord has given us that we may build you up, not pull you down, I should have no reason to feel ashamed.
Bara na inwa riu figiri kang mbelin g likara bite lo na Ucif wani ike minu mun na inanza minun b, na mba incin ba
9 Let it not seem as if I wanted to frighten you by my letters.
Na indi nin su iyene nafo indin ziu minu nin miyert nin ba.
10 For they say "His letters are authoritative and forcible, but his personal presence is unimpressive, and as for eloquence, he has none."
Bara amung din belun ''iyert me din ziu nin likr, bara na iyarnu adi nin nagan ba uliru na me lien ulazu ba “
11 Let such people take this into their reckoning, that whatever we are in word by our letters when absent, the same are we also in act when present.
Na anite yinin nilemong na tibenle brq nin bung na ti diku b, imong irum mere ti ba suu kubi ko na tidi kikane.
12 For we have not the 'courage' to rank ourselves among, or compare ourselves with, certain persons distinguished by their self-commendation. Yet they are not wise, measuring themselves, as they do, by one another and comparing themselves with one another.
Natina duo pii ba ipiru natibite, konin batizu nati bit nin nale na idin foo figi mine. Bara kbi kona idin gwadizu atimine nin namonn, nin nani ima se uyenju seng ba.
13 We, however, will not exceed due limits in our boasting, but will keep within the limits of the sphere which God has assigned to us as a limit, which reaches even to you.
Na ariki wasa ti foo figiri ti kata likara ni lemong na ti wasa tui suu b, bara na tina cinu kusari ko na Kutelle b, bara na tiduro nani har ti da duru anunku.
14 For there is no undue stretch of authority on our part, as though it did not extend to you. We pressed on even to Corinth, and were the first to proclaim to you the Good News of the Christ.
Bara na tina kata ti kala ati bite ba na tima dak kiti min, arikere wa di anan bunu nse minu nlirun Kristi.
15 We do not exceed our due limits, and take credit for other men's labours; but we entertain the hope that, as your faith grows, we shall gain promotion among you--still keeping within our own sphere--promotion to a larger field of labour,
Nati din foo figiri tikata likara bite ba barabkatwa na mon, bara na tidin cisu kibinai nafo na uyinu sa uyenu mine din kunju nin min bit ngira katwa we bapunu kidawo gbradan.
16 and shall tell the Good News in the districts beyond you, not boasting in another man's sphere about work already done by him.
Ariki wang ba belu uliru Kutelle tikata kika na anung na dur. Nati ma foo figiri mbelen katwa ka na ina su kusarin na mong ba.
17 But "whoever boasts, let his boast be in the Lord."
Bara nanin ule na adin foo figiri na afoo figiri nanya Ucif.
18 For it is not the man that commends himself who is really approved, but he whom the Lord commends.
Bara na ule na ana uti lidu amere asa so cikilari litime barananin lo na cikilarari na na yinin mu.
