¹It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

¹Waa inaan faano in kastoo aanay waxtar lahayn, laakiin waxaan gaadhi doonaa riyooyin iyo waxa Rabbigu muujiyo.

²I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

²Waxaan garanayaa nin Masiix ku jira oo afar iyo toban sannadood ka hor kor loo qaaday ilaa samada saddexaad. Inuu jidhka ku jiray iyo inaanu jidhka ku jirin garan maayo, Ilaah baase garan.

³And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

³Oo waxaan garanayaa ninkaas, laakiin inuu jidhka ku jiray iyo inaanu jidhka ku jirin garan maayo, Ilaah baase garan.

⁴How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

⁴Isaga kor baa loogu qaaday Firdooska, oo wuxuu maqlay erayo aan lagu hadlin oo aan nin loo idmin inuu ku hadlo.

⁵Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

⁵Kaasoo kale xaggiisa waan ku faani doonaa, laakiin xaggayga kuma faani doono, itaaldarradayda mooyaane.

⁶For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

⁶Waayo, haddaan dooni lahaa inaan faano, doqon ma ahaan doono, waayo, runtaan ku hadli doonaa; laakiin waan iska celiyaa inaanu qofna ii malayn mid ka weyn wuxuu igu arko ama iga maqlo.

⁷And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

⁷Inaanan isu sarraysiin waxyaalaha lay muujiyey weynaantooda dheer aawadeed, waxaa lay siiyey wax jidhkayga muda oo ah mid Shayddaan uu soo diray inuu i kadeedo, si aanan isu sarraysiin.

⁸For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

⁸Waxaas aawadiis saddex goor ayaan Rabbiga ka baryay in waxaasi iga fogaado.

⁹And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

⁹Oo isagu wuxuu igu yidhi, Nimcadaydu way kugu filan tahay; maxaa yeelay, xooggaygu wuu ku dhan yahay itaaldarrada. Sidaa aawadeed anigoo faraxsan ayaan ku faanayaa itaaldarrooyinkayga in xoogga Masiixu igu soo dego.

¹⁰Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹⁰Sidaa aawadeed waxaan ku farxaa itaaldarrooyin iyo hadallo cay ah iyo baahiyo iyo silecyo iyo dhibaatooyin Masiix aawadiis, waayo, markaan itaal daranahay, ayaan xoog badnahay.

¹¹I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.

¹¹Doqon baan noqday; idinkaase igu qasbay. Waxay ahayd inaad i ammaantaan, waayo, sinaba ugama aan liidan rasuulladii ugu wada waaweynaa, in kastoo aanan waxba ahayn.

¹²Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

¹²Hubaal rasuul calaamooyinkiis ayaa si dulqaad leh laydiinka dhex sameeyey xagga calaamooyin iyo yaabab iyo shuqullo xoog leh.

¹³For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.

¹³Maxaa idinka dhiman oo aad uga liidataan kiniisadaha kale, anigoo aan idin culaysin mooyaane? Xumaantan aawadeed iga raalli ahaada.

¹⁴Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your's but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

¹⁴Markan waa markii saddexaad oo aan diyaar u ahay inaan idiin imaado; oo idinma culaysin doono, maxaa yeelay, idinkaan idin doonayaa ee ma doonayo wixiinna; waayo, ma aha inay carruurtu waalidkood wax u kaydiso, laakiin waa inuu waalidku carruurta wax u kaydiyo.

¹⁵And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

¹⁵Anna si farxad leh ayaan isu bixin, naftiinnaanan isu bixin. Haddii aan aad idiin jeclahay, ma si ka yar baa lay jecel yahay?

¹⁶But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.

¹⁶Hase ahaatee, anigu idinma aan culaysin, laakiin khaa'in baan noqday oo sir baan idinku qabtay.

¹⁷Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?

¹⁷Miyaan faa'iido ahaan wax idiinkaga qaatay kuwii aan idiin soo diray midkoodna?

¹⁸I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?

¹⁸Tiitos waan waaniyey, walaalkeenna waan la diray isagii. Tiitos miyuu faa'iido ahaan wax idiinkaga qaatay? Miyaannan isku ruux ku socon? Miyaannan isku tallaabooyin ku socon?

¹⁹Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.

¹⁹Haatan waxaad u malaynaysaan inaannu iska kiin daafacayno. Ilaah hortiisa waxaannu u hadlaynaa sida kuwo Masiix, oo gacaliyayaalow, wax kastaba waxaannu u samaynaa si aad u dhisantaan.

²⁰For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:

²⁰Waayo, waxaan ka cabsanayaa in, kolkaan imaado, aan idinka waayo sidaan doonayo inaad ahaataan, idinna aad iga weydaan sidaad doonaysaan inaan ahaado, waaba intaasoo ay jiraan dirir, iyo masayr, iyo xanaaq, iyo iskala qaybqaybin, iyo cay, iyo xan, iyo qabweynaan, iyo rabshooyin;waaba intaasoo kolkaan mar kale imaado uu Ilaahay hortiinna igu hoosaysiiyaa, oo aan u baroortaa kuwo badan oo hadda ka hor dembaabay, oo aan ka toobad keenin wasakhnimadii iyo sinadii iyo nejisnimadii ay faleen.

²¹And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

²¹waaba intaasoo kolkaan mar kale imaado uu Ilaahay hortiinna igu hoosaysiiyaa, oo aan u baroortaa kuwo badan oo hadda ka hor dembaabay, oo aan ka toobad keenin wasakhnimadii iyo sinadii iyo nejisnimadii ay faleen.
