Luo Corinth 10

1 Nga Paul, kwafe nu suwos ke nunak luk sifacna — nga, su kutu mwet uh fahk mu nga filpap ac tupwek ke pacl nga wi kowos, a nga kaskas upa ke nga muta loes liki kowos. Ke pusisel ac kulang lun Christ nga kwafe suwos

NOW I Paul myself exhort you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who, when present, am indeed lowly among you, but being absent, am bold towards you.

2 in tia oru tuh nga in kaskas upa ke pacl nga ac tuku; tuh nga etu na pwaye lah nga ku in kaskas upa nu selos su fahk mu kut orekma ke ouiya lun faclu.

But I pray, that when I am present I may not be bold with the confidence with which I purpose to act resolutely against some who think of us, as if we walked after the flesh.

3 Pwaye lah kut moul fin faclu, tusruktu kut tia mweun ke lumah lun faclu.

For though we walk in the flesh, we war not after the flesh:

4 Kufwen mweun ma kut orekmakin in mweun lasr tia kufwen mweun lun faclu, a kufwen mwe mweun kulana lun God, ma kut orekmakin in kunausla pot ku lun mwet mweun. Kut kunausla kas in akukuin kikiap;

for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for the casting down the strong holds of corruption;

5 kut kunausla nunak fulat nukewa su kosrala mwet in etu ke God. Kut kutongya nunak nukewa lun mwet uh, ac oru elos in akos Christ.

laying low proud reasonings, and every high thing which exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and making every thought captive to the obedience of Christ:

6 Ac tukun kowos akpwayeye inse pwaye lowos, kut ac fah akola in kai kutena mwet su seakos.

and holding ourselves ready to avenge every act of disobedience, when your obedience is fully proved.

7 Kowos liye na likin ma uh. Ya oasr sie mwet inmasrlowos su nunku mu el ma lun Christ? Lela elan sifacna tonel, mweyen kut ma lun Christ oapana el.

Regard ye the things that are personal? If any man is confident in himself that he is Christ’s, let him reflect again in himself, that as he is Christ’s, so are we Christ’s.

8 Tuh nga tia mwekin, nga finne konkin yokla ke ku se ma Leum El ase nu sesr — ku se inge ma in musaikowosyak, ac tia in kunauskowosla.

Yea, and if I should boast somewhat more highly of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for your edification, and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed;

9 Nga tia lungse kowos in nunku mu nga srike in aksangengye kowos ke leta luk uh.

that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.

10 Oasr mwet ac fahk, “Leta lal Paul uh upa ac ku, tusruktu pacl el muta yorosr, el munas ac kas lal uh wangin sripa!”

For his letters indeed, say they, are weighty and forcible, but his bodily presence is feeble, and his speech contemptible.

11 Kain mwet se ingan enenu in kalem kac lah wangin ekla inmasrlon ma kut simus ke leta lasr ke pacl kut muta loesla, ac ma kut ac oru ke pacl kut oasr yuruwos.

Let such a man be assured of this, that such as we are by word in our letters when absent, such also will we be in deed when we are present.

12 Kut ac fah tiana lumwekut sifacna oana elos su oakalos mu elos mwet fulat. Elos arulana lalfon! Elos sifacna orala mwe srikasrak lalos ac sifacna srikalos nu kac, na elos nununkalos sifacna fal nu ke oakwuk lalos inge!

For we will not presume to put ourselves on the level, or compare ourselves with some who vaunt themselves; but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, have no understanding.

13 A funu kut, konkin lasr fah tia alukela lupa fal; a ac fah fal na nu ke orekma se su God El oakiya nu sesr, su kowos oasr pac kac.

But we will not glory in things beyond our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath marked out for us―a measure that hath reached even unto you.

14 Ac ke sripen kowos oasr ke orekma kunasr inge, kut tiana alukela ma fal ke kut tuh tuku nu yuruwos ac us Pweng Wo ke Christ.

For we stretch not our pretensions beyond bounds, as though we reached not unto you; for we have advanced even unto you in the gospel of Christ:

15 Ke ma inge kut tia konkin ke orekma ma mwet saya orala, su alukela ma God El oaki nu sesr. A kut finsrak mu lulalfongi lowos fah kapak, ac orekma lasr yuruwos fah ku in yokelik, ac pacl nukewa in fal nu ke srikasrak ma God El oakiya.

not boasting ourselves unmeasurably in other men’s labours; but having hope that when your faith is increased, we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule for more abundant usefulness,

16 Na kut fah ku in fahkak Pweng Wo in kutu pac acn loesla liki kowos, ac tia enenu in konkin ke ma orekla tari sin kutu pac mwet in acn se ma God El sang elos in orekma we.

to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to arrogate glory in another man’s line for things already prepared.

17 A oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Kutena mwet su lungse konkin, lela elan konkin ke ma Leum El orala.”

But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

18 Tuh mwet se ma Leum El insewowo kac pa ac akfulatyeyuk, ac tia mwet se ma sifacna kaksakunul.

For not he who commendeth himself is approved, but he whom the Lord commendeth.
