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 necessary to boast, though it is not profitable. But I will 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 know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I do not know, or whether out of the body, I do not know; God knows), such a one was caught up into the third heaven.
3 Amatakwara m nwoke dị otu a, maọbụ nʼanụ ahụ, maọbụ nʼime mmụọ amaghị m, ma Chineke maara
I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I do not know; God knows),
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.
how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a human to utter.
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.
On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
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 if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no one may think more of me than that which he sees in me, or hears from 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 because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, therefore, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to pound away at me, to keep me from exalting myself.
8 Ekpeela m ekpere ugboro atọ rịọ Onyenwe anyị ka o wepụrụ m ahụ mgbu a.
Concerning this thing, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it 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.
He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on 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 weaknesses, in injuries, 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.
I have become foolish. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am 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.
Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
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 in which you were made inferior to the rest of the churches, unless it is that I myself was not a burden 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.
Look, for the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not what is yours, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the 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?
I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
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 be it so, I did not myself burden you. But, being crafty, I caught you with deception.
17 Ọ dị onye ọbụla m ziteere unu, iji si nʼaka ya rigbuo unu?
Did I take advantage of you by anyone of them whom I have sent to 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 exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Did not we walk in the same spirit? Did not we walk 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.
Have you been thinking all this time that we have been defending ourselves before you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ; and all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
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 by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you do not desire; that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, riots;
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.
that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness and sexual immorality and lustfulness which they committed.
