Luo Corinth 7
1 Mwet kawuk soak luk, wulela inge nukewa ma nu sesr. Ke ma inge, lela kut in sifacna aknasnasye kut liki ma nukewa su ac akfohkfokye manosr ku ngunasr, ac lela kut in arulana mutal ke kut moul in akfulatye God.
Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Lela kowos in inse pwaye nu sesr. Wangin mwet kut orekma sufal nu se; wangin mwet kut akkolukyela, wangin mwet kut kiapwela.
Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
3 Nga tia fahk ma inge in aktoasrye kowos; tuh oana ke nga fahk tari, kowos arulana saok sesr, ouinge insese lasr uh ac oanna, kut finne moul ku misa.
I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
4 Nga arulana lulalfongi kowos; nga arulana yukin kowos! In mwe ongoiya nu sesr nukewa nga srakna sessesla ke pulaik; nga tingtingi ke engan.
Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
5 Finne tukun kut sun tari acn Macedonia, wangin pacl in mongla lasr. Oasr lokoalok yen nukewa — oasr amei sin mwet saya nu sesr, ac oasr sangeng insiasr.
For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
6 Tusruktu God, su akkeye mwet su sun ongoiya, El akkeye kut ke tuku lal Titus.
Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
7 Tia tuku lal mukena pa akpwaryekutyak, a el srumun luman akku lowos nu sel. El fahkak nu sesr lupan kena lowos in liyeyu, lupan pakomuta lowos, lupan akola lowos in kasreyu; na ke sripa inge engan luk uh arulana yokelik.
and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
8 Tuh leta luk ah finne aktoasrye kowos, nga tia auli lah nga simusla. Nga lukun pakomuta ke nga liye lah leta sac oru kowos oela ke kitin pacl.
For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.
9 Tusruktu inge nga engan — tia mweyen nga oru kowos asor, a mweyen asor lowos tuh oru kowos auliyak. Asor sac orekmakinyuk sin God ke sripa wo nu suwos, ac kut tia akkolukye kowos kac.
I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
10 Tuh asor su God El orekmakin uh pa oru ekla lun nunak, su ac kolla mwet nu ke molela — ac wangin auli ke ma inge! A asor lun faclu ac kolla mwet nu ke misa.
For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
11 Liye ma God El oru ke asor se lowos inge: pa oru kowos arulana moniyukla, ac oru kowos kena akpwayei lah wangin mwatuwos! Inge kowos koase ma koluk, yohk lohang lowos, ac kena lowos, ac insianaung, ac kowos akola na in kai ma koluk! In ma inge nukewa kowos akkalemye lah wangin ma sufal lowos.
For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
12 Ke ma inge, nga ne simusla leta sac, tia ma ke sripen mwet se ma orala ma koluk, ku mwet se ma akkolukyeyuk. A nga tuh simusla in oru in kalem suwos, ye mutun God, lupan nunak pwaye lowos nu sesr.
So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
13 Sripa inge nukewa oru kut arulana kui. Tia akkeyeyuk kut mukena, a Titus el akpwarye kut ke engan lal ke sripen kasru su kowos nukewa tuh oru ac akpwaryal kac!
Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
14 Nga tuh yukin kowos nu sel, ac kowos akpwayela konkin luk keiwos. Kas lasr pwaye nu suwos pacl nukewa, ac in lumah sacna, konkin lasr keiwos nu sel Titus ah akpwayeiyukla.
For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
15 Ke ma inge, lungse lal nu suwos uh yokyokelik ke el esam luman akola lowos nukewa in akos mwe luti lal, ac ke kowos eisal nu yuruwos ke akfulat na yohk.
His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
16 Yohk engan luk lah nga ku in arulana lulalfongi kowos!
I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
