Luo Corinth 6

1 Kut, su wi God in oru orekma lal, kut kwafe suwos tuh kowos in tia pilesru kulang lun God su kowos eis tari.

As God’s fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.

2 Lohng ma God El fahk, “Ke sun pacl fal in fahkak kulang luk nu sum, Nga tuh porongekom; Ke len in molela tuku, Nga tuh kasrekom.” Kowos porongo! Pa inge pacl wo in eis kulang lun God; misenge pa len in eis molela!

For He says: “In the time of favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the time of favor; now is the day of salvation!

3 Kut tia lungse kutena mwet in pangon mu oasr ma sutuu ke orekma lasr, ke ma inge kut srike in tia oru mwe tukulkul nu sin kutena mwet.

We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no one can discredit our ministry.

4 A in ma nukewa kut oru, kut mongfisrasr in muteng ke mwe lokoalok, ma upa, ac mwe keok, tuh in kalem lah kut mwet kulansap lun God.

Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships, and calamities;

5 Anwuk kut, kapiri kut, mwet uh wonak lain kut; akkemkatuyeyuk kut, ac wangin pacl in motul ku mongo.

in beatings, imprisonments, and riots; in labor, sleepless nights, and hunger;

6 Kut sifacna fahkkutyak lah kut mwet kulansap lun God ke moul nasnas lasr, ke etauk, ke mongfisrasr, ke kulang — oayapa ke Ngun Mutal, ke lungse pwaye lasr,

in purity, knowledge, patience, and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;

7 ke fahkak lasr ke ma pwaye, ac ke ku lun God. Suwoswos pa mwe mweun lasr, in lain ma koluk ac in loangekut.

in truthful speech and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;

8 Akfulatyeyuk ac oayapa aklusrongtenyeyuk kut; akkolukyeyuk ac kaksakinyuk pac kut. Orek kut oana mwet kikiap, sruk kut kaskas na pwaye;

through glory and dishonor, slander and praise; viewed as imposters, yet genuine;

9 oana kut in mwet nikinyuk, sruk mwet nukewa etekut; oana kut in mwet misa, a kut moul na, oana ke kowos liye. Finne kalyeiyuk kut, a kut tiana anwuki;

as unknown, yet well-known; dying, and yet we live on; punished, yet not killed;

10 ne aksupwaryeyuk kut, a kut insewowo pacl nukewa; oana kut in sukasrup, sruk kut akkasrupye mwet puspis; oana in wangin ma lasr, a pwayeiya uh ma nukewa oasr yorosr.

sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

11 Mwet kawuk saok in Corinth! Kut fahk ma na pwaye nu suwos; kut fahkak nufon ma oan insiasr.

We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians. Our hearts are open wide.

12 Tia kut pa kaliya insiasr nu suwos; a kowos pa kaliya insiowos nu sesr.

It is not our affection, but yours, that is restrained.

13 Inge nga kaskas nu suwos oana kowos in ma na nutik: kowos in oayapa lungse kut ke insiowos nufon.

As a fair exchange, I ask you as my children: Open wide your hearts also.

14 Kowos in tia kupasryang nu sin mwet tia lulalfongi ke orekma lowos, mweyen tiana ku. Ma suwohs ac ma koluk ac akasrui fuka? Kalem ac lohsr ac tukeni fuka?

Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

15 Ya Christ ac Devil ku in insese ke kutena ma? Mea mwet lulalfongi se ac mwet selulalfongi se oana sie kac uh?

What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?

16 Ya Tempul lun God ac ma sruloala lun mwet pegan ku in tukeni? Kut tempul lun God moul! In oana ke God El sifacna fahk, “Nga fah oru lohm sik yurin mwet luk Ac muta inmasrlolos; Nga fah God lalos, Ac elos fah mwet luk.”

What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.”

17 Ouinge Leum God El fahk, “Kowos fah tuyak ac som lukelos, Ac sifacna srikowosla lukelos. Tia kahlya kutena ma su fohkfok, Na nga fah insewowo in eis kowos.

“Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”

18 Nga ac fah papa tomowos, Ac kowos ac fah wen ac acn nutik, Leum God Kulana El fahk.”

And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
