Luo Corinth 12
1 Nga enenu na in konkin, finne ac wangin sripa. Tusruktu inge nga ac kaskas ke aruruma ac kutu pac ma saya ma Leum el akkalemye nu sik.
It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Nga etu sie mwet Christian su utukyak nu yen fulatlana inkusrao ke yac singoul akosr somla. (Nga tia etu lah utukyak el in manol ku ngunal mukena — God mukena pa etu.)
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; ) such one caught up to the third heaven.
3 Ac nga etu lah mwet se inge utukyak nu in Paradise (nga tia pac etu lah ma se inge sikyak na pwaye ku aruruma se na — God mukena etu),
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; )
4 ac el lohng kutu ma we su el tia ku in aketeya, ma su tia fal mwet uh in sramsramkin.
That he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5 Na nga fah konkin ke mwet sac — a nga fah tia konkin keik sifacna, sayen ma su fahkak munas luk.
Of such one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in my infirmities.
6 Nga fin ke konkin nga tia sie mwet lalfon, mweyen nga ac kaskas ke ma pwaye. Tusruktu nga fah tia konkin, mweyen nga tia lungse kutena mwet in akfulatyeyu in nunak lal yohk liki ma el sifacna liye nga oru, ac lohng nga fahk.
For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but [now] I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me [to be], or [what] he heareth from me.
7 Tusruktu in taranyu in tia fulatak nunak luk ke sripen ma wolana puspis su nga tuh liye, ituku nu in monuk sie mwe munas na akkeok, su oana in sie ma supweyuk sel Satan in fiskiyu ac sikulyu ngan tia inse fulat.
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8 Pacl tolu nga pre nu sin Leum Jesus ke ma se inge, ac siyuk sel elan eisla likiyu.
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 Ac El fahk nu sik: “Pwayena ma kom enenu pa kulang luk, tuh ku luk uh arulana yohk ke pacl kom munas.” Ke ma inge, nga arulana engan in konkin ke munas luk, tuh ku lun Christ in oan in nga.
And he said to 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 rest upon me.
10 Nga engankin mwe munas, kas in akkoluk, ma upa, mwe kalya, ac mwe keok ke sripen Christ. Tuh ke nga munas, pa inge pacl nga ku.
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 Nga kaskas oana sie mwet lalfon — tusruktu kowos pa oru in ouinge uh. Kowos pa fal in akkalemye lulalfongi lowos keik. Tuh nga finne mwet pilasr, nga tia srik liki “mwet sap fulat” lowos ingan.
I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended by you: for in nothing am I behind the very greatest apostles, though I am nothing.
12 Mwenmen oayapa mwe akul puspis orek inmasrlowos in akpwayei lah nga sie mwet sap, ac nga muteng in oru ma inge.
Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
13 Ya oasr ma orek nu suwos koluk liki church ngia? Ma sefanna, nga tuh tia ngusr mani suwos. Kwal, nga siyuk kowos in nunak munas nu sik ke tafongla se inge.
For what is that in which ye were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
14 Pa inge pacl se aktolu ma nga akoo in fahsrot nu yuruwos — ac nga fah tia oru kutena ma in akkwacoye kowos. Kowos pa nga enenu, tia mani lowos an. Nuna fal tulik uh in tia fosrngakin papa tumalos ac nina kialos, a papa ac nina in fosrngakin tulik natulos.
Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15 Nga fah engan in sot ma nukewa ma oasr yuruk, oayapa moul luk sifacna, tuh nga in kasrekowos. Ya kowos ac fah aksrikyela lungse lowos nu sik ke lungse luk nu suwos arulana yohk?
And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.
16 Nga mu kowos ac insese nu sik lah nga tiana akkwacoye kowos. Tusruktu sahp ac oasr mwet ac fahk mu nga aklalfonye kowos, ac sruokkowosi ke kas kikiap.
But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
17 Fuka? Ya oasr mwet ma nga supwaot nu yuruwos tuh aklalfonye kowos?
Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent to you?
18 Nga kwafel Titus elan fahsrot, ac nga supwaot pac sie mwet lulalfongi wiasr in welul. Ya kowos ku in fahk mu Titus el aklalfonye kowos? Ya nga Titus tia nunak sefanna ac oru ouiya sefanna?
I desired Titus, and with [him] I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? [walked we] not in the same steps?
19 Sahp kowos nunku mu ma nukewa kut oru fahfahsru ma in akwoye kut sifacna ye motowos. Mo, tia ouinge! Kut kaskas in ou lungse lun Christ ye mutun God, ac ma nukewa kut oru, kut oru in kasrekowos, mwet kawuk saok lasr.
Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves to you? we speak before God in Christ: but [we do] all things, dearly beloved, for your edification.
20 Nga sensen mu ke nga ac sun kowos nga ac konauk lah kowos sie liki na ma nga motko kowos nu kac, ac kowos ac liye lah nga sie liki na motko lowos keik uh. Nga sensen lah ac oasr akukuin ac sok, mongsa ac nunku kac sifacna, akkasrkusrak ac lesrik, inse fulat ac fohs.
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and [that] I shall be found by you such as ye would not: lest [there be] debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
21 Ac mwe pakomuta nu sik lah ke nga ac sifil fahsrot, God luk El ac akmwekinyeyu ye motowos, ac nga fah tung ke mwet puspis su orekma koluk in pacl somla ac tiana auliyak ke lumah kupatol elos oru — orekma in kosro ac lung lun ikwa.
[And] lest, when I come again, my God may humble me among you, and I shall bewail many who have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness, and lewdness, and lasciviousness, which they have committed.
