Men Korint II 1
1 PAULUS wanporon en Iesus Kristus amen pan kupur en Kot o ri atail Timoteus ong momodisou en Kot, me mi Korint o saraui kan karos, me mi Akaia.
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God that is in Corinth, and to all the believers in the entire region of Achaia.
2 Mak o popol sang ren Kot Sam atail o atail Kaun Iesus Kristus en mi re omail.
May grace be to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Meid iasanai Kot o Sam en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus, o Sam en kalangan, o Kot en kamait pokon,
May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be praised. He is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.
4 Me kin kamakamait kit ni at kamekam kan karos, pwe kit en pil kak kamait ir ala, me mi nan song en kamekam akan karos, ki kamait, me kit kamait kila ren Kot.
God comforts us in all our affliction, so that we can comfort those who are in any affliction. We comfort others with the same comfort that God used to comfort us.
5 Pwe duen Kristus a kamekam me muladok ong kit, iduen kamait ren Kristus pil itar penang kit.
For just as the sufferings of Christ abound for our sake, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
6 A ma kit pai olar, nan a kin wiaui, pwen kamait o kamaur komail la, mepukat kin wiaui ni omail kanongama ni kalokolok ota, me kit kin kalokolokki.
But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort. Your comfort is working effectively when you patiently share in the same sufferings that we also suffer.
7 O at kaporopor kin komail me tengeteng, pwe se asa, ma komail iang kamekam, komail pil pan iang kamaitala.
Our expectation concerning you is unshaken, for we know that as you share the sufferings, you also share our comfort.
8 Ri ai ol akan, se sota men, komail en sasa duen at kamekam nan Asien o at patau kaualap, lao solar kaporopor en maur at.
For we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the troubles we had in Asia. We were so completely crushed beyond our strength that we despaired even of life.
9 Ari, kit lamedar, me se pan mela. A mepukat wiauier, pwe sen der keleki pein kit, pwe Kot eta, me kin kaiasada me melar akan.
Indeed, we had the sentence of death on us. But that was to make us not put our trust in ourselves, but instead in God, who raises the dead.
10 Me kotin dore kit ala sang mela wet, o a pil pan dore kit ala; o se kaporoporeki, me a pil pan kotin dore kit ala kokolata.
He rescued us from such a deadly peril, and he will rescue us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us.
11 Komail pil sauasa kit ni omail ngidingid, pwe me toto en danke pweki at pai me se aleer.
He will do this as you also help us by your prayer. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor given to us through the prayers of many.
12 Pwe iet kaping pat: Insen at kin kadede ong kit, me se weweideki karakarak o melel en Kot nin sappa o nan pung omail, kaidin ni lolekong en pali uduk, a ki mak en Kot.
We are proud of this: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world with holiness and godly sincerity, not relying on fleshly wisdom but on the grace of God.
13 At inting wong komail kaidin toror sang me komail kin wadok o kamelele. A i kaporoporeki me komail pan kamelele kit kokolata duen akai komail kamelele kit er.
We write to you nothing that you cannot read and understand. I expect that,
14 Pwe kit me kaping pa omail, dueta komail me kaping pat ni ran en Kaun Iesus.
as you have understood us in part, we will be your reason for boasting on the day of our Lord Jesus, just as you will be our reason to boast.
15 A ni kaporopor wet, me i men pwar kilang komail mas o, pwe komail en pur ong pereperen.
Because I was confident about this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might receive the benefit of two visits.
16 I ap pan daulul lang komail ni ai pan kolang Masetonien, ap pil puredo re omail sang Masetonien, a komail pan kalua ia lang Iudäa.
I was planning to visit you on my way to Macedonia. Then I wanted to visit you again on my trip from Macedonia, and then for you to send me on my way to Judea.
17 A iaduen, ngai me sapung ni ai kileledier mepukat? De i kin kileledi mepukat ni tiak en pali uduk, pwen ei ei o so so tapi sang pein ngai?
When I was thinking this way, was I hesitating? Do I plan things according to human standards, so that I say “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?
18 A Kot me melel, pwe me se indang komail me sota ei o so.
But just as God is faithful, we do not say both “Yes” and “No.”
19 Pwe sapwilim en Kot Iesus Kristus, me kit padaki ong komail er, ngai, o Silwanus, o Timoteus, i kaidin ei o so, a ei eta re a,
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom Silvanus, Timothy and I proclaimed among you, is not “Yes” and “No.” Instead, he is always “Yes.”
20 Pwe inau en Kot akan karos me ei eta re a o me amen re a, pwe kit en kalinganada Kot.
For all the promises of God are “Yes” in him. So also through him we say “Amen” to the glory of God.
21 A me kin katinai kit o komail pan Kristus o keie kitail er, iei Kot,
Now it is God who confirms us with you in Christ, and he appointed us,
22 Me pil kotin kileledier kitail o kotiki ong kitail er komoan Ngen nan mongiong atail.
he set his seal on us and he gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee of what is to come.
23 A i kin likwir ong Kot me saunkadede en ngen i, me i saikenta pwara wong komail nan Korint, pwe i de katoutoui komail.
Instead, I call God to bear witness for me that the reason I did not come to Corinth was so that I might spare you.
24 Kit sota men poedi omail poson, a kit men sauasa ta omail peren, pwe komail keleki poson.
This is not because we are trying to control what your faith should be. Instead, we are working with you for your joy, as you stand in your faith.
