2 Corinthians 10
1 And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you — through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ — who in presence, indeed [am] humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you,
An Paulo koro akwayou kuom muolo kod ngʼwono mar Kristo mondo uwinja. An ma usebedo kuwacho ni amuol ka an kodu, to ager ka an mabor kodu!
2 and I beseech [you], that, being present, I may not have courage, with the confidence with which I reckon to be bold against certain reckoning us as walking according to the flesh;
Asayou ni kik umi abi iru ka ager, kaka ajatimo ni jomoko maparo ni wadak e pinyni kaluwore gi dwaro piny.
3 for walking in the flesh, not according to the flesh do we war,
Nikech kata obedo ni wadak e pinyni, to ok wakedi kaka jopiny kedo.
4 for the weapons of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds,
Nikech gige lweny mwakedogo ok gin mag pinyni, to gin gige lweny mager mag Nyasaye, mwakonyorego kuom muko kuonde mochiel motegno.
5 reasonings bringing down, and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ,
Waketho mbekni kod riekni mag wuondruok duto mag sunga dhano, ma dino ni ji yor ngʼeyo Nyasaye, kendo watweyo paro ka paro mobam, mondo omi wami owinj Kristo.
6 and being in readiness to avenge every disobedience, whenever your obedience may be fulfilled.
Adier, wabiro kumo ji duto motamore winjo wach, nyaka chop un duto ubed joma olokore chuth.
7 The things in presence do ye see? if any one hath trusted in himself to be Christ's, this let him reckon again from himself, that according as he is Christ's, so also we [are] Christ's;
Uneno gik moko mana gi wangʼ mar dhano. To ka ngʼato paro ni en ngʼat Kristo, to kik chunye wuonde ni en ngʼat Kristo moloyowa!
8 for even if also anything more abundantly I shall boast concerning our authority, that the Lord gave us for building up, and not for casting you down, I shall not be ashamed;
To ka dipo ni asepakora moloyo teko ma Ruoth osemiyowa mar gerou mondo udongi moloyo thirou, to wiya ok nokuodi e wachno.
9 that I may not seem as if I would terrify you through the letters,
Ok adwar mondo anenra ka gima abwogo chunyu gi barupena.
10 'because the letters indeed — saith one — [are] weighty and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech despicable.'
Nikech jomoko kuomu wacho niya, “Barupene nigi teko kendo wuoyo mager, to ka en kodwa to onenore ngʼama yomyom, kendo koyalo to wechene onge gi teko.”
11 This one — let him reckon thus: that such as we are in word, through letters, being absent, such also, being present, [we are] in deed.
Joma kamago onego ngʼe ni weche ma andikonu e barupena ka aonge, ema bende abiro timo ka an kodu.
12 For we do not make bold to rank or to compare ourselves with certain of those commending themselves, but they, among themselves measuring themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise,
Chutho, ok dwaher mar ketore, kata pimore gi jogo matingʼore malo, kaka joma lich mokalo. Joma kamago ofuwo, kuom pimore gi rapim magin giwegi ema giketo, kendo kuom ngʼado buchgi kendgi, kaka joma lich.
13 and we in regard to the unmeasured things will not boast ourselves, but after the measure of the line that the God of measure did appoint to us — to reach even unto you;
Wan to ok dwapakre mokalo tongʼwa, en tongʼ ma Nyasaye owuon ema noketonwa kaluwore gi tichne, kendo un bende un ei tongʼno.
14 for not as not reaching to you do we stretch ourselves overmuch, for even unto you did we come in the good news of the Christ,
Omiyo ka wapakore e tijwani to ok wakalo tongʼ nikech wan ema ne wakwongo kelonu Injili mar Kristo bangʼ wuotho wuoth marabora.
15 not boasting of the things not measured, in other men's labours, and having hope — your faith increasing — in you to be enlarged, according to our line — into abundance,
To bende, ok dwapakre mokalo tongʼwa kuom tich ma jomoko nono ema timo. To genowa en ni, kaka yie maru medo gerore, e kaka tongʼwa mar lando Injili biro medo yarore,
16 in the [places] beyond you to proclaim good news, not in another's line in regard to the things made ready, to boast;
mondo wayal Injili e pinje maboyo moyombo thuru. Nikech ok wadwar pakore kuom tich ma ngʼat machielo ema otimo e kare mar tich.
17 and he who is boasting — in the Lord let him boast;
To, “Ngʼat ma sungore mondo osungre kuom Jehova Nyasaye.”
18 for not he who is commending himself is approved, but he whom the Lord doth commend.
Nikech ngʼat ma Ruoth pako ema ji yiego, to ngʼat mapakore kende onge rieko.
