Men Korint II 10
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
World English 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 I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.
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.
2Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.
3Pwe melel, je kin mimita nan uduk, ap jota pepei ni tiak en uduk.
3For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t 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.
4for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of 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.
5throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
6O audaude on kaloedi me katiwo karoj, omail peik lao pwanokadar.
6and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.
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.
7Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.
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 abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,
9Pwe ender janjal duen amen me men kamajak kin komail nai kijin likau kan,
9that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify 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, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”
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.
11Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are 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.
12For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
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.
13But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach 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.
14For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News 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,
15not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,
16Pwen pil padaki ronamau nin jap akan palila jan komail, a kaidin wajan dodok on amen o jota juaiki me wiauier.
16so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
17A ma amen men juaiki, I en juaiki Kaun o.
17But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
18Pwe kaidin i meakot, me kin kapina pein i, pwe i eta, me Kaun o kin kapina.
18For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
