2 Korinti 10

1 Hagi nagrani'a Poli'na, Kraisi anterami avu'avazampinti'ene fru avu'avazanteti tamantahinegoe. Nagra tamagranema mani'nena fru avu'ava huramante'noanagi, afete'ma mani'nena hanave naneke huneramantoe.

Now, I, Paul, make a personal appeal to you by the meekness and gentleness of the Christ — I who, “in your presence, am humble in my bearing towards you, but, when absent, am bold in my language to you” —

2 Nagrama tamagritega vanu'na hankave kea osnuegu nentahue. Hianagi nagra esu'na tagriku'ma vahe'mofo antahintireti havi eri'za e'nerize nehaza vahe'mofona hanavege eme huzmantegahue.

I implore you not to drive me to “show my boldness,” when I do come, by the confident tone which I expect to have to adopt towards some of you, who are expecting to find us influenced in our conduct by earthly motives.

3 Tamage mopafi vahe mani'nonanagi, mopafi vahe'mo'za hzaza huta hara nosune.

For, though we live an earthly life, we do not wage an earthly war.

4 Ha'ma huzantamima azeri'nonana, ama mopafi ha'zana omne'ne. Anumzamofo hankave ha'za me'neankino, Sata vihua ahe'nafru hugahie.

The weapons for our warfare are not earthly, but, under God, are powerful enough to pull down strongholds.

5 Tagra hakare'a havi antahintahine havigemo'enema renkani renentegeno vahe'mo'ma Anumzamofoma antahi ama nosia antahintahizmia, zamazeri rukrehe hanunke'za Kraisi amagera nentaze.

We are engaged in confuting arguments and pulling down every barrier raised against the knowledge of God. We are taking captive every hostile thought, to bring it into submission to the Christ,

6 Tamagrama amage'ma ante fatgoma hanageta, veganokno nehu'za, ke rutrage'namokizmia, ana nona'a knaza zamigahune.

and are fully prepared to punish every act of rebellion, when once your submission is complete.

7 Tamagra mago'amota amega avufgage negeta agu'afina nonkaze. Hagi Kraisi vahe mani'noe huno hanave antahintahi nentahinimo'a, atregeno agra'a agu'afi refko huno negeno, nagra Kraisi vahe mani'noe huno nentahina, tagra'enena Kraisi vahe mani'none hugahune.

You look at the outward appearance of things! Let any one, who is confident that he belongs to Christ, reflect, for himself, again upon the fact — that we belong to Christ no less than he does.

8 Na'ankure Ramo'ma kva vahe manigahaze huno tazeri otigeta mani'neta tavufga rama nehunana, tamagri tamazeri so'e hunaku anara nehunanki, tamazeri haviza hunakura anara nosunankita, tagra tagazegura osugahune.

Even if I boast extravagantly about our authority — which the Lord gave us for building up your faith and not for overthrowing it — still I have no reason to be ashamed.

9 Hanki tamazeri koro hunaku ama avontamina krenoramue.

I say this, that it may not seem as if I were trying to overawe you by my letters.

10 Na'ankure mago'amo'za amanage nehaze, Poli'a avontafepina hankave ke kreneramino, tavure'ma ne-eno'a, akoheno kea nehige'za, amnege nehie hu'za nehaze.

For people say “His letters are impressive and vigorous, but his personal appearance is insignificant and his speaking contemptible.”

11 Hanki anagema nehanana vahe'moka antahio. Tagranema omanineta avontafe'tamimpima hankave kema krerami'nonankna huta tagrama esuta, hankavege eme hugahune.

Let such a man be assured of this — that our words in our letters show us to be, when absent, just what our deeds will show us to be, when present.

12 Na'ankure mago'amo'za knare vahe mani'none nehaza vahera nezmageta, tagratia zamagritera refko huta nonkone. Hianagi zamagra'a mani'naza avamente refko hu'za nege'za, tagra knare vahe mani'none hu'za refko hu'za negaza vahe'mo'za, negi vahe mani'naze.

We have not indeed the audacity to class or compare ourselves with some of those who indulge in self-commendation! But, when such persons measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they show a want of wisdom.

13 Hianagi tagra mani'nona avamena agatereta tavufa ra osugahune. Hianagi Anumzamo'ma e'inahu huta eri'zana erita vahe'ma kegava huzmanteho huno hurante'nesia avamente mani'neta, vahera kegava hunezmanteta tamagri'enena kegava hurmantegahune.

We, however, will not give way to unlimited boasting, but will confine ourselves to the limits of the sphere to which God limited us, when he permitted us to come as far as Corinth.

14 Na'ankure tagrama ese knazupa Kraisi Knare Musenke, Anumzamo'ma eriho hu'nea avamente Korintima mani'naza nagamotare erita uhaniti'nona zamofonkura, agatereta tavufga erisaga nosune.

For it is not the case, as it would be if we were not in the habit of coming to you, that we are exceeding our bounds! Why, we were the very first to reach you with the Good News of the Christ!

15 Magore huta rumo'za eri'za eri'naza zantera tavufga rana osu'none. Hianagi tagripi'ma fore hanigeta kesune huta antahi neramunana, tamagri tamentintimo nehagenkeno, eri'zama tamagripima erisuna zamo'a ra huno hageno vanie huta nehune.

Our boasting, therefore, is not unlimited, nor does it extend to the labours of others; but our hope is that, as your faith grows, our influence among you may be very greatly increased — though still confined to our sphere —

16 Ana hu'negu, mago'mo'e huno Knare Musenke huama osu'naza afete kumatamimpina, tagra ome huama huta vugahune. Na'ankure koma eri'zama rumo'za e'rinesaza kumatamimpina ome e'nerisunkeno tagenoka osnazegu nehune.

So that we shall be able to tell the Good News in the districts beyond you, without trespassing on the sphere assigned to others, or boasting of what has been already done.

17 Hianagi avontafepina anage hu'ne, Iza'o avufga rama hunaku'ma hanimo'a, Ramofoma keno antahino hu'nea zanku avufga ra hino hu'ne. (Jer 9:24)

‘Let him who boasts make his boast of the Lord.’

18 Na'ankure agra'agu knare hu'noe huno nehimo'ompage, Anumzamo'ma hu izo huno ra agima ami'nesimoke agra'agura musena hugahie.

For it is not the man who commends himself that stands the test, but the man who is commended by the Lord.
