2 Kolinta 12
1 Naani n baa kpiagi n yuli lan yaa po; laa pia ñuadi ba kuli. ama n baa waani yi O Diedo bonle kaala leni O bondoagidi kaala.
If I must glory (it is not expedient indeed), but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 N bani Joayendo ke o tie Kilisiti ŋoadi ka moala li pundi piiga n bina na, ke bi den duoni o hali tanpotuadi kaantaalu kani ama mii bani o den ye o gbanandi nni, bi waa den ye o gbanandi nni mii bani U tienu n bani.
I know a man in Christ above fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not, or out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up to the third heaven.
3 N go bani ke laa joa, li den tie leni o gbanandi bi laa tie leni o gbanandi mii bani U tienu bebe n bani,
And I know such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not: God knoweth),
4 O den gedi ŋalijani ki den gbadi yaa maama n kaa pia togida yaama ke o nisaalo kan fidi ki togidi.
That he was caught up into paradise, and heard secret words, which it is not granted to man to utter.
5 N baa kpiagi n yuli laa nilo yaapo, ama n kan kpiagi n yuli n yucelipo, li yaa tie n tadingu po yaaka.
For such an one I will glory; but for myself I will glory nothing, but in my infirmities.
6 N yaa bi bua ki kpiagi n yuli, n kan bi tua nani yanluo daano kelima n baa waani i moamoani. ama n kan yedi li ba, kelima mii bua o baa kuli n jigini nni ki cie wan nua ke n tie yua bi wan gba ke n tie yua.
For though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I will say the truth. But I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth in me, or any thing he heareth from me.
7 Ama, ke min da gbengidi n yuli leni ti japaadi kelima laa bondoagidi kaala n den pia ti kpiagidi maama yeni po, n yen gba n gbanu nni li bonla ke li muudi nni nani i konkoni yeni, li tie Sutaani Maleki ki yen muudi nni ke min da gbie leni ti japaadi.
And lest the greatness of the revelations should exalt me, there was given me a sting of my flesh, an angel of Satan, to buffet me.
8 Taalimi Ta n jandi ki mia O Diedo n ñani laa bonla n niini.
For which thing thrice I besought the Lord, that it might depart from me.
9 Ama O den yedi nni: N ŋanbili dagidi a po kelima ku tadingun ne ke n paciamu yen tuuni bonŋanla. lan yaapo, n go ba jigini n yuli ki cie kelima n tadingu po, lan tie Kilisiti paaciamu n yaa ye leni nni.
And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee; for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
10 Lan teni ke n mangidi n pali ku tadingu nni, leni ti sugidi nni, leni fala buolu buolu kuli nni kelima Kilisiti po. kelima yaa yogunu ke n tadi laa yogunu n yen sua ke n pa bonŋanla.
For which cause I please myself in my infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ. For when I am weak, then am I powerful.
11 N tua nani o yanluodaano kelima yinba teni ke n tua yeni. yinba n bi ŋaa teni n po siedi kelima ba leni min ki tie li ba, yaa tondiba n nua bi yula ke bi tie tondicianba yeni, naa cie nni leni li ba.
I am become foolish: you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you: for I have no way come short of them that are above measure apostles, although I be nothing.
12 yaali n waani ke n tie Kilisiti tondo moamoani, doagidi yi siiga. lan tie li juuli mi biigimi kuli nni, sinankeene leni li bonlidi kaala, leni mi bandicianma kuli den tiendi leni nni yi siiga.
Yet the signs of my apostleship have been wrought on you, in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
13 N tieni be jandietoana yaaba po kaa tieni yi po; li yaa tie ke mii den tuo ki tua yi po yaaka? yin tieni mani n po sugili lan yaapo.
For what is there that you have had less than the other churches, but that I myself was not burthensome to you? Pardon me this injury.
14 Diidi mani n go bogini mi taa tama ki baa cua yi kani, n kan go tua yi po tugili kelima mii lingi yi piama ka, ama yinba yi yaaba yo ke n linga. Kelima a bila ka baa taani li bonla bi danba po ama, bi bidanba n ba taani li bonla a bila po.
Behold now the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burthensome unto you. For I seek not the things that are yours, but you. For neither ought the children to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15 Mini n yaaba, n yama po n ba pa n piama ki go teni n yuli kelima yi naani po. n buama yi po yaa pugidi, naani li tie ke n bua yin wadi yi yaa buama n po?
But I most gladly will spend and be spent myself for your souls; although loving you more, I be loved less.
16 Min kaa tua yi po tugili yeni, bi tianba tua daalinba n tieni nunfanbu yo ki bua ki baa cuo yi.
But be it so: I did not burthen you: but being crafty, I caught you by guile.
17 Min den suani yaaba yi kani yeni, naani n den ten ke bi fie yi kani bonli ba bi?
Did I overreach you by any of them whom I sent to you?
18 N cedi Tita yegi leni ti kpiilo ke bi den gedi yi po, naani Tita den tieni yi u paalu ki den fie yi kani bonli baa bii? naani kuli ki cuoni leni yantiayenli leni sanyendu ka?
I desired Titus, and I sent with him a brother. Did Titus overreach you? Did we not walk with the same spirit? did we not in the same steps?
19 Yi tama hali yogu, ke ti bua ki fuu ga ti yula yi nintuali; yen ka, ama li tie U tienu leni Jesu nintuali yo ke ti maadi. ti maadi yeni ki bua lan todi yi.
Of old, think you that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ; but all things, my dearly beloved, for your edification.
20 Kelima n jie n ya cua yi kani, min sua ke yii tie min bi bua yin yaa tie maama, i moko n da sua ke tie yin kaa bi bua min yaa tie yua. N jie min da cua ki sua yi siiga kufugu, li ponli, leni li pabienli, mi paadima, leni i janbi, i kulinkundi ti japaadi, leni ti yanyagidi, i kulinkundi ti japaadi, leni yanyagidi.
For I fear lest perhaps when I come I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found by you such as you would not. Lest perhaps contentions, envyings, animosities, dissensions, detractions, whisperings, swellings, seditions, be among you.
21 N jie n cuama yi kani n Tienu n da teni min lee i fee kelima yi po. N jie min da buudi kelima yi siiga yaabi n den ba ti tuonbiadi nni ki naa tuo ki lebidi bi pala ki mia sugili bi tuonjoagindi po, leni bi conconmi po, leni ban tieni yaa cagindi buolu kuli.
Lest again, when I come, God humble me among you: and I mourn many of them that sinned before, and have not done penance for the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, that they have committed.
