2 Corinthians 12
1 To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
N baa fidi waani n ba ama laa n kaa bàà ñuadi li po. n bua min ya maadi o diedo dɔgidima
2 I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago — whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God hath known — such an one being caught away unto the third heaven;
N bani ja baa ne Kirisi nni li gedi piiga n bina na. O bo doni tanpoli tuadima taa po. Mii bani o ya bo doni yeni o gbannandi bii o bo kim doni yeli. Mii bani. U Tienu baba n bani.
3 and I have known such a man — whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God hath known, —
N bani li ja ke ye yeni ogbannandi baa o gɔ̀ yaa ye yeni o gbannandi. Mii bani u Tienu baba n bani.
4 that he was caught away to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.
o bo doni ŋalijanli nni ki gbadi maama baa ke li pia 'o u jiwaamu yeni wan maadi.
5 Of such an one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities,
N baa fidi ki waani i yuli lan daano po. Ama ki daa waani min ya yuli. li yaa tie mini ya tadima yaa kaa.
6 for if I may wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for truth I will say; but I forebear, lest any one in regard to me may think anything above what he doth see me, or doth hear anything of me;
N yaa bua waani n bá li kaa tie min maadi bontianli ke laa tie mɔni. ama n baa miini n yuli. ama n kan waani nba, k nilo daa nua ki cie wan nua bii wan gbadi ke n tie yua.
7 and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch.
Bii u dɔgudu ne n baa waani yali. Lani n baa cedi t japaadi n daa kua nniin. Kelima setaani ba yeni yieno ba k l maabi 'n. n kan fidi pua jaapaadi.
8 Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me,
Taalm taa ke n mia o diedo ke wan fagini n yeni wani.
9 and He said to me, 'Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:
Ama ke o yedi: n ŋalibalgo dagidi ŋa kelima n paalu suani ya yogu ke ŋaa pia tuama i. kelima n paaciamu suani ya yogu ke tuama ki ye i. Lanwani min baa wangi n tadima ki fidi kirisi paaciamu n ya ye n niinn.
10 wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses — for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;
N pali mani n tadima po. t sugidi kani, a maba nni. m niñima nni Kirisi po. Kelima yaa yogu ke n tadi lan yogunu i ke n paa.
11 I have become a fool — boasting; ye — ye did compel me; for I ought by you to have been commended, for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles — even if I am nothing.
N ji ki pia yama ki dugini i maba po kelima b tondikaaba ciamo ki cie nni yeni min k tie puu.
12 The signs, indeed, of the apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds,
Yaali n waangi ke n li tie tondikaa n siiga nni tie min juuni sɔni li tuonli yeni u yaalidigu.
13 for what is there in which ye were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this injustice!
a jaandielama cie yi be yo. Lani yaa kaa n naa den k tua tugili yi po. mia mani sugili n po lani ya biidi.
14 Lo, a third time I am ready to come unto you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not yours, but you, for the children ought not for the parents to lay up, but the parents for the children,
Diidi, n bobini ki gbeni ki bua cua ki fuodi yi taalima bonmtaa po. N kan tua tugili yi po. Kilima n k kpaani yi yaa buama kaa. yinba mɔno i. A bila kaa baa kpaani ki dingi b danba ama mu binmu danba n baa kpaani ki siendi a bila
15 and I most gladly will spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, more abundantly loving you, less I am loved.
Li mani n po yeni min tieni li panli k gɔ baa tundi tiendi yi naani po. N ya bua i ki pugidi yi mɔ kan ŋanbi ki ya bua'n kaa.
16 And be it [so], I — I did not burden you, but being crafty, with guile I did take you;
Ama n k tie tugili yi po. Nani mi n tie nunfandaano yeni n taa u nunfanbu ki cuo yi.
17 any one of those whom I have sent unto you — by him did I take advantage of you?
N taa nilo k baa t ñuadi yinba yaaba ke n sɔni yi.
18 I entreated Titus, and did send with [him] the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? in the same spirit did we not walk? — did we not in the same steps?
N paani Tili pali ke wan gedi yi kani ki cedi sɔni nitiano i kani. Titi bàà ti ñuadi yi poo oo? T kuli ki cuoni sanyendi kaa? T ki tɔgini sanyendi.
19 Again, think ye that to you we are making defence? before God in Christ do we speak; and the all things, beloved, [are] for your up-building,
Yi maali ke t bo bua ti waani ti yula ke ti tie nimɔnma yoo oo u Kirisi u Tienu nintuali nni? tin maadi yaala kuli tie ki yi suagi.
20 for I fear lest, having come, not such as I wish I may find you, and I — I may be found by you such as ye do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, evil-speakings, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,
Kelima n jie ke m cuama min la yi ke yi tie nani min bo bua maama. ke yi mɔ n la n ke i k tie nani yi bo bua maama. N jie ki la a kɔnkɔna, i nangi, la pabienli, li nunponbiadili, u tuatabigu N Tienu daa miini n yuli i kani.
21 lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may bewail many of those having sinned before, and not having reformed concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and lasciviousness, that they did practise.
n jie ke n ya cua n Tienu baa miini n i siiga nni, njie ke n baa buudi kelima tianba po. Bani yaaba bo kpia tieni t tuonbiadi ki lebidi bi yama ki ŋaa ban bo tiendi ya jɔgidi yeni ya conconma yeni ya cancangidi kuli.
