Berean Standard Bible
1Ngato Paululu muntali jurana kurukurubai Christuni manjulali ja maltieli; ngani milkini jurangu waka nganai, ja jurangu panini japanguru jurangu.
1Now by the mildness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am humble when face to face with you, but bold when away.
2Ngani ngatjiai, ngani wata jurangu terti japanguru nganananto, nunkangupini morlalu ngundranani, nunkangundru ngato ngundrai japanguru nganala kana palpani, tanali ngundrai, ngaiani kana womala jeribaka wirariai.
2I beg you that when I come I may not need to be as bold as I expect toward those who presume that we live according to the flesh.
3Ngaiani palkuni wirarinani, ngaiani wata palkuni jeribaka tirimaliai.
3For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.
4Tirimalinaia poto ngaianini wata palkundru nganai, a‐ai, tana Godani ngurunguru nganai wotini ngurunguru dampuribala.
4The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
5Ja ngundrani, ja bakana mirila, nau miri ngankateriai Godaia ngujamanani, dakangandrala, ja dupudupu wapalkala tjuru pratjana Christuni pankinani;
5We tear down arguments and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
6Ja matja ngankingaterina delkini pratjanani kalala jinkila, jurani pankini matja manamiririnani.
6And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.
7Mina mudlani parai jura najiai? Kulnujeli muntali ngundraterinani, nau Christula nganai, nulu bakana jenia nakaldra muntali ngundrananto, worderu nau muntali Christula nganai, jeruja bakana ngaiani.
7You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that we belong to Christ just as much as he does.
8Ngato bakana ngantjanani morla jurakaterila ngaianini ngurulandru, ninaia Kaparali ngaianingu jinkinala, jurana wotila ja wata dampuribala, ngani wata nintali pantjila nganai.
8For even if I boast somewhat excessively about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed.
9Jura wata ngundrananto, ngato ngantjana paraia, jurana japali ngankala dakani jaurali.
9I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you by my letters.
10Ngangau tana jatai, dakani jaura mati ja ngurunguru; palkujeli ngamana waltowalto ja jaura wakawaka.
10For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is unimpressive, and his speaking is of no account.”
11Jendralipara ngundrananto, worderu ngaiani dakani jaurali nganai worita, jeruja bakana ngankanali jurangu jela.
11Such people should consider that what we are in our letters when absent, we will be in our actions when present.
12Ngaiani wata ngundrai, tanangu ngokamalila kara jelarila kara kana palpani, tana munta jurakokateriai; ngangau tana munta wontjateriai ja pirna ngundrateriai, tana patipati nganai.
12We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they show their ignorance.
13Ngaiani wata pirna jurakokaterila nganai, a‐ai, nunkangupini wondirani, ninaia Godali ngaianina kurana wonti jurangu karakararinantulu.
13We, however, will not boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you.
14Ngaiani wata miri pirna ngutateriai tanangu jeribaka, tanali jurangu wata karakarariai, ngangau ngaiani Christuni ngantjani jaurali bakana jurangu wokarana wonti.
14We are not overstepping our bounds, as if we had not come to you. Indeed, we were the first to reach you with the gospel of Christ.
15Ngaiani wata pirna jurakokateriai kana nguruja ngankanandru, windri ngaiani kalkai, jurani morlalu ngundrana punkanani, ngaiani pirna pantjila nganai ngaianini wondirajelu manamiria,
15Neither do we boast beyond our limits in the labors of others. But we hope that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you will greatly increase as well,
16Ja ngantjani jaura bakana tanangupini mitani kaukaubala jurangu jerankari, ja wata kana nguruja wondirani, nunkangundru mina matja parai, ngaiani jurakokaterinanto.
16so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.
17Worana jurakokateriai, nauja Kaparani jurakokateriatimai.
17Rather, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
18Wata nau ngurunguru nganai, nau munta wondrateriai, a‐ai, nau, nina Kaparali jurakokai.
18For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
