2 Corinthians 12
1 To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
ARI, ai juaiki jota katepa on ia. Ari jo, i pan kapareda kaudial akai o kadiarok kai ren Kaun o.
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;
I aja duen aramaj amen ren Krijtuj, mon jaunpar eijok paieu; i jaja, ma a mi nan war a, de ma a mi likin war a, i pil jaja, Kot me kotin mani, i aramaj o, me peukadala lel nanlan kajilu.
3 and I have known such a man — whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God hath known, —
O i aja, iei aramaj o, ma a mi nan war a de likin war a, i jaja, Kot me kotin mani.
4 that he was caught away to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.
I me peukadalan paradij, waja a ronadar kajoi kai, me jota muei on aramaj amen en inda.
5 Of such an one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities,
I me i pan juaiki; a pein nai jota pan juaiki meakot, ai luet eta.
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;
A ma i men juaiki pein nai, I jota pan pweipwei, pwe i pan lokaia melel. Ari jo, i jota pan wia, pwe amen ender wia kin ia me lapa jan duen a kin kilan ia o duen a kin ron ia.
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.
A pwe i ende aklapalapaki kaudial kapuriamui kai, tuka teketek pot mi nan uduk ai, iei nain Jatan, me kin dokodoko ia, pwe i ende aklapalap.
8 Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me,
Pan jile pak i nidinid on Kaun o, en kotiki jan ia me.
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:
I ari majani on ia: Ai mak itar on uk, pwe manaman ai kin janjal ren me luet akan. Nan i me i pan juaiki ai luet akan, pwe manaman en Krijtuj en kotikot re i.
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;
I me i perenki ai luet akan, o jo konekon, o anjau apwal, o kamekam, o patau pweki Krijtuj, pwe ma i luet, nai me kelail.
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.
Nai wialar pweipwei men, I me komail kare on ia, mak eta, komail en kapina kin ia, pwe i jota tikitik jan wanporon lapalap akan; ari jo, jota meakot nai.
12 The signs, indeed, of the apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds,
Pwe manidi en wanporon wiauier nan pun omail ni kanonama melel o ni kilel akan, o ni men kapuriamui kan, o ni manaman akan.
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!
Pwe nin da, me komail tikitikki jan momodijou tei kan, ele iet eta: I jota katoutoui kin komail meakot? Komail ari makeki on ia japun wet.
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,
Kilan, i onoper pwar won komail kajilepak, o i jota pan kaponede komail, pwe i jota kin rapaki me noumail, a komail. Pwe kaidin jeri kan en naka penan me wia ir ada, a me wia ir da on jeri kan.
15 and I most gladly will spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, more abundantly loving you, less I am loved.
A i mauki melel kiki wei meakaroj, pil pein nai on nen omail, i jota injenoki, ma omail pok on ia tikitik jan ai limpok lapalap on komail.
16 And be it [so], I — I did not burden you, but being crafty, with guile I did take you;
Ari i eta, i jota kaponedeer komail; a pweki ai lolekon, i kaloedier komail.
17 any one of those whom I have sent unto you — by him did I take advantage of you?
De iaduen, i adia jan amen komail ekij ren me i kadar won komail er?
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?
I poeki ren Tituj ap kadar won komail pil ri atail ian i. Ari da, Tituj pitia jan komail meakot? Kit jo aluki nen ota de ni lip ota?
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,
Anjau warai me komail kiki on me je pan pur on, kapunala pein kit on komail. Kit kin lokaia ki Krijtuj mon Kot. Kompok kan, mepukat karoj kin wiaui, pwen kamauiada komail.
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,
Pwe i majak ni ai pan pwar won komail, me i jota pan diar komail, duen me i mauki, o komail pil jota pan diar ia, duen me komail mauki. Ele kapei lokaia, o peirin, o makar, o akamai, o kawaikoto, o lidou monin, o aklapalap, o moromoron mi re omail.
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.
Pwe ni ai pan pure won komail, ele Kot pan kotin kanamenok kin ia komail, o i pan injenjuedeki me toto, me wiadar dip maj o, ap jota kalukila ar jamin, o nenek, o dodok jued, me re wiadar.
