Men Korint II 10
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1ARI pein nai Pauluj men panaui komail nin tiak en opampap o limpok en Krijtuj; pwe ni ai mi nan pun omail, i kin aktikitik, a ni ai doo wei ian komail, i kin kelail on komail
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.
2A i kin kapakapeki, pwe i ender kelail ni ai pan korendo; pwe i kileledier o lamelame, me I pan kelail on akai, me kin wia kin kit men kekeideki tiak en pali uduk.
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.
3Pwe melel, je kin mimita nan uduk, ap jota pepei ni tiak en uduk.
3For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.
4Pwe kapwa en at pei kaidin men ni pali uduk, pwe me manaman mon Kot, me mau on kawela waja teneten kan.
4The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
5Ni at kin kawela me akapun o me aklapalap, me kin palian erpit en Kot; o kit kin jaliedi jon en lamelam karoj, pwen oke Krijtuj.
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.
6O audaude on kaloedi me katiwo karoj, omail peik lao pwanokadar.
6And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.
7Komail kin kilekilan meakan me janjal? Ma amen lamelame, me pein i japwilim en Krijtuj, I en pein lameda, me kit pil japwilim en Krijtuj dueta i.
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.
8Pwe ma i pan juaiki laude jan at manaman, me Kaun o kotiki on kit, pwen kamaui a kaidin kawe komail la, i jota pan namenokki.
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.
9Pwe ender janjal duen amen me men kamajak kin komail nai kijin likau kan,
9I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you by my letters.
10Pwe irail me inda: Kijin likau kan me kajampwal o manaman, a janjal en pali war a me luet, o a padak me mal kot.
10For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is unimpressive, and his speaking is of no account.”
11A me duen met a en aja duen at kin inda nan kijin likau kan ni at doo wei jan komail, iduen pein kit ni at wiawia kan nan pun omail.
11Such people should consider that what we are in our letters when absent, we will be in our actions when present.
12Pwe kit jota man mauki waroki on me kin juaiki pein irail; a irail me jololekon, pweki ar jojon pein irail nan pun arail.
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.
13A kit jota men juaiki me laud jan me kon on, a duen men jon eu, me Kot kotin ’pan on kit, jon eu, me itar lel on komail.
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.
14Pwe kit jota inon ion, me jota kon on, dene je jota pwar won komail er, a je pil walan komail ronamau en Krijtuj.
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.
15Kit jota kin juaiki me laud jan me kon on, dene je juaiki en amen a dodok. A je kaporoporeki omail pojon lao kakairida, at dodok pil pan laud jan re omail,
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,
16Pwen pil padaki ronamau nin jap akan palila jan komail, a kaidin wajan dodok on amen o jota juaiki me wiauier.
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.
17A ma amen men juaiki, I en juaiki Kaun o.
17Rather, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
18Pwe kaidin i meakot, me kin kapina pein i, pwe i eta, me Kaun o kin kapina.
18For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
