2 Ndị Kọrint 12
1 Aghaghị m ịnya isi, ọ bụ ezie na ọ baghị uru, ugbu a ka m gwa unu ihe banyere ọhụ m hụrụ, na ihe niile Onyenwe anyị kpughere gosi m.
IT is not expedient doubtless for me to boast. I will yet come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Amaara m otu nwoke nọ nʼime Kraịst, onye e duuru gaa nʼeluigwe nke atọ ihe dị ka afọ iri na anọ gara aga, maọbụ nʼanụ ahụ, maọbụ nʼime mmụọ amaghị m, ma Chineke ma.
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body I know not, or whether out of the body I know not: God knoweth; ) such a one was caught up unto the third heavens.
3 Amatakwara m nwoke dị otu a, maọbụ nʼanụ ahụ, maọbụ nʼime mmụọ amaghị m, ma Chineke maara
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body or out of the body I know not: God knoweth, )
4 onye a, nke a kpọọrọ banye na paradaịs, ebe ọ nụrụ ihe ọnụ mmadụ na-apụghị ịkọwa, nke e nyeghịkwa mmadụ ọbụla ike ikwu ihe banyere ya.
that he was caught up into paradise, and heard ineffable words, which it is not permitted to man to speak.
5 Ekwesiri m ịnya isi nʼihi nwoke dị otu a ma agaghị m anya isi maka mụ onwe m, ma ọ bụghị maka adịghị ike m.
Of such a one will I boast; but in myself will I not boast, save in my infirmities.
6 A sị na m chọrọ ịnya isi, agaghị m abụ onye nzuzu, nʼihi na aga m ekwu naanị eziokwu. Otu ọ dị, agaghị m anya isi ka onye ọbụla ghara ịgụ ọnọdụ m karịa ihe ọ hụrụ nʼime m, maọbụ karịa ihe ọ nụrụ nʼọnụ m.
For though I should be disposed to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I shall speak truth: but I desist, lest any man think of me above what he seeth me to be, or what he heareth of me.
7 Ma nʼihi na ọtụtụ ihe ndị a m ji anya m hụ bụ ihe pụrụ ime ka m bulie onwe m elu karịa ka o si kwesi. E tinyere ihe mgbu nʼanụ ahụ m ka ọ na-adụ m dịka ogwu. Ihe mgbu a dị nʼanụ ahụ m na-eti m aka dịka onyeozi nke ekwensu, na-eme ka m ghara ịfụlị onwe m elu karịa.
And that I might not be lifted up above measure by the transcendent greatness of the revelations, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, the angel Satan, to buffet me, that I might not be lifted up above measure.
8 Ekpeela m ekpere ugboro atọ rịọ Onyenwe anyị ka o wepụrụ m ahụ mgbu a.
For this thrice I besought the Lord, that he might depart from me.
9 Ma ọ sịrị m, “Amara m ezuorola gị. Nʼihi na ike m na-ezu oke nʼime adịghị ike.” Ugbu a, obi dị m ụtọ ịnya isi banyere adịghị ike m. Nʼihi na ọ bụ site nʼọnọdụ adịghị ike m ka ike ebube Kraịst ga-esi nọgide nʼahụ m.
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may fix its residence in me.
10 Ọ bụ nʼihi Kraịst ka m na-anọgide nʼadịghị ike m niile, mkparị ndị mmadụ, ihe isi ike niile, mkpagbu niile na ihe ndakwasị dị iche iche. Nʼihi na mgbe m na-adịghị ike ka m na-enwe ike karịa.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then am I strong.
11 Emeela m onwe m onye nzuzu ma unu onwe unu rugidere m ime ya. O kwesiri ka unu bụrụ ndị mbụ ga-eto m. Ọ bụ ezie a na-abụghị m ihe ọbụla, ma o were m anya na ọ dịghị ụzọ ọbụla m si dị ala nʼebe ndị ahụ unu na-eche na ha kachasị elu nʼetiti ndị ozi.
Have I become a fool in boasting? ye have compelled me; for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing have I been inferior to the very chief apostles, though I be nothing.
12 Ejiri m ndidi rụọ ọrụ nʼetiti unu, ihe iji gosi na abụ m nwaazụ nʼeziokwu. Egosiri m unu ihe ịrịbama, ọrụ ebube dị iche iche, na ọtụtụ oke ọrụ.
The signs indeed of an apostle have been wrought among you in all patience, in miracles, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
13 Olee ụzọ unu si dị ala nʼebe chọọchị ndị ọzọ dị, ma ọ bụghị na m abụghị ibu arọ nye unu? Gbagharanụ m mmejọ a.
For what is there wherein ye have been inferior to the other churches, except that I have not been burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong.
14 Nke a bụ ugboro atọ m na-ejikere ịbịakwute unu. Agaghị m abụrụ unu ibu arọ, ihe dị m mkpa abụghị akụ unu nwere, kama unu onwe unu. Ọ bụghị ụmụntakịrị ka ọ dịrị ịkpadoro nne na nna ha ihe, kama ọ bụ ọrụ dịrị nne na nna ịkpadoro ụmụ ha ihe.
Lo! I hold myself ready the third time to come unto you, and I will not burden you; for I seek not yours but you: for the children ought not to lay up treasure for their parents, but the parents for the children.
15 Nʼezie, ọ na-atọ m ụtọ iwere onwe m na ihe niile m nwere nye unu, nʼihi na ahụrụ m unu nʼanya. Ma ọ bụrụ na m hụrụ unu nʼanya karịa, ọ ga-adị mma ma unu hụ m nʼanya nke nta?
And I will most cheerfully spend and be spent for your souls, though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.
16 Nʼagbanyeghị na-abụrụ m unu ibu arọ, ụfọdụ nʼime unu na-ekwu, ọ bụ ezie na ọ dịghị anara anyị ihe ọbụla, maọbụ onye aghụghọ. Ma eleghị anya, o nwere ụzọ aghụghọ dị iche iche o si anara anyị ihe.
But admit it, I was not burdensome to you: but being crafty, I caught you with guile.
17 Ọ dị onye ọbụla m ziteere unu, iji si nʼaka ya rigbuo unu?
Did I make a gain of you by any one individual whom I sent unto you?
18 Arịọrọ m Taịtọs ka ọ bịakwute unu, ya na nwanna anyị nwoke ọzọ. Taịtọs o rigburu unu? O nwere ihe dị iche nʼuche na omume mụ na ya?
I entreated Titus to go to you, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make any advantage of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
19 Unu chere na ihe anyị na-eme oge niile ndị a bụ ịgọpụ onwe anyị nʼihu unu? Ọ bụ nʼihu Chineke ka anyị na-ekwu nke a nʼime Kraịst. Ndị m hụrụ nʼanya, ihe ndị a anyị na-ekwu bụ maka ọdịmma unu.
Think ye that we are again making an apology to you? In the sight of God speak we in Christ: but all things, beloved, for your edification.
20 Nʼihi na ihe na-atụ m egwu bụ na mgbe m bịara nʼetiti unu, ihe m ga-ahụ agaghị atọ m ụtọ. Mgbe ahụ mmeso m ga-emeso unu agakwaghị atọ unu atọ. Nʼihi na ana m atụ egwu na mgbe m bịakwutere unu ọzọ, aga m ahụ ọtụtụ nʼime unu ka unu na-ese okwu, aga m ahụ ka unu na-ekwosa ibe unu ekworo, aga m ahụ unu ka unu na-akpasu ibe unu iwe. Aga m ahụ ọtụtụ ndị na-afụli onwe ha elu, ndị na-ekwu ọtụtụ ihe ọjọọ dị iche iche megide ndị ọzọ; aga m ahụ ọtụtụ ndị jupụtara nʼaghụghọ na ịkpa iche iche.
For I am afraid that when I come I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found of you such as ye would not: lest haply there be contentions, jealousies, animosities, quarrels, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
21 Ana m atụ egwu na mgbe m ga-abịakwute unu ọzọ, Chineke m ga-eme ka m weda onwe m ala nʼihu unu, mee ka m kwa akwa nʼihi ụfọdụ nʼime unu ndị mehiere na mbụ, ma ha achọghị ichegharị site nʼihe ọjọọ ha mere, na nʼihi ọtụtụ nʼime unu na-adị ndụ rere ure, ndụ na-adịghị ọcha, ndụ ịkwa iko, na ndụ ọjọọ.
and lest when I come to you again, my God should bow me down, and I should lament over many who have sinned before, and have not repented of the impurities, and whoredom, and lasciviousness which they have committed.
