Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to gain, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.
1Nga 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.
2I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows.
2Nga 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.)
3And I know that this man—whether in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows—
3Ac 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),
4was caught up to Paradise. The things he heard were too sacred for words, things that man is not permitted to tell.
4ac el lohng kutu ma we su el tia ku in aketeya, ma su tia fal mwet uh in sramsramkin.
5I will boast about such a man, but I will not boast about myself, except in my weaknesses.
5Na nga fah konkin ke mwet sac — a nga fah tia konkin keik sifacna, sayen ma su fahkak munas luk.
6Even if I wanted to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me,
6Nga 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.
7or because of these surpassingly great revelations. So to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
7Tusruktu 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.
8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
8Pacl tolu nga pre nu sin Leum Jesus ke ma se inge, ac siyuk sel elan eisla likiyu.
9But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.
9Ac 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.
10That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
10Nga 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.
11I have become a fool, but you drove me to it. In fact, you should have commended me, since I am in no way inferior to those “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.
11Nga 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.
12The true marks of an apostle—signs, wonders, and miracles—were performed among you with great perseverance.
12Mwenmen oayapa mwe akul puspis orek inmasrlowos in akpwayei lah nga sie mwet sap, ac nga muteng in oru ma inge.
13In what way were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
13Ya 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.
14See, I am ready to come to you a third time, and I will not be a burden, because I am not seeking your possessions, but you. For children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
14Pa 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.
15And for the sake of your souls, I will most gladly spend my money and myself. If I love you more, will you love me less?
15Nga 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?
16Be that as it may, I was not a burden to you; but crafty as I am, I caught you by trickery.
16Nga 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.
17Did I exploit you by anyone I sent you?
17Fuka? Ya oasr mwet ma nga supwaot nu yuruwos tuh aklalfonye kowos?
18I urged Titus to visit you, and I sent our brother with him. Did Titus exploit you in any way? Did we not walk in the same Spirit and follow in the same footsteps?
18Nga 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?
19Have you been thinking all along that we were making a defense to you? We speak before God in Christ, and all of this, beloved, is to build you up.
19Sahp 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.
20For I am afraid that when I come, I may not find you as I wish, and you may not find me as you wish. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, rage, rivalry, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.
20Nga 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.
21I am afraid that when I come again, my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of their acts of impurity, sexual immorality, and debauchery.
21Ac 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.
