1Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
1 D'ay ga du, araŋ ma suuru ay se hal ay ma saamotaray kayna te! Oho, araŋ goono ga suuru ay se mo.
2For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
2 Ay go ga canse araŋ gaa da Irikoy cansa dumo. Zama ay n'araŋ suuban kurnye folloŋ se kaŋ ga ti Almasihu, ay ma konda araŋ a do danga wandiyo hanno.
3But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
3 Amma ay ga humburu hal a ma si ciya, mate kaŋ cine gondo na Hawa halli nda nga carma, yaadin cine no araŋ laakaley ma bare ka fun cimo da hananyaŋ gaa kaŋ araŋ gonda Almasihu ra.
4For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
4 Zama nda boro fo kaa kaŋ go ga Yesu waani fo waazu te, kaŋ manti iri wano, wala nd'araŋ go ga biya waani fo ta, kaŋ araŋ man'a ta doŋ, wala Baaru Hanno waani fo, kaŋ araŋ mana yadda nd'a doŋ, ikulu araŋ go mo ga suuru nd'ey hal a ma boori!
5For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
5 Amma ay go ga lasaabu ay mana gaze baa kayna «diyey kaŋ ga bisa ikulu» din gaa.
6But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
6 Zama baa d'ay si waani sanni, kulu nda yaadin ay mana jaŋ bayray. Oho, iri na woodin cabe araŋ se fondo kulu ra nda hay kulu ra.
7Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
7 Wala ay na taali te araŋ se no kaŋ ay n'ay boŋ kaynandi hal ay m'araŋ beerandi, zama ay na Irikoy Baaru Hanna waazu araŋ se nooyante?
8I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
8 Ay na Almasihu marga fooyaŋ kom, ka banandi ta i gaa ka du k'araŋ saajaw.
9And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
9 Waato kaŋ ay go araŋ do, kaŋ ay go jaŋay ra mo, ay mana jaraw dake boro kulu boŋ. Waato kaŋ nya-izey kaa ka fun Masidoniya, ngey no ka jaŋay kulu kaa ay gaa. Hay kulu ra ay haggoy d'ay boŋ zama ay ma si tiŋay dake araŋ boŋ. Yaadin mo no ay ga soobay ka te.
10As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
10 Ay ga woone ci da Almasihu cimo kaŋ go ay ra: Akaya ra boro kulu s'ay ganji ay ma fooma nda woodin.
11Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
11 Ifo se? Zama ay si ba araŋ no? To, Irikoy ga bay!
12But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
12 Amma haya kaŋ ay te, nga no ay ga soobay ka te, hal ay ma kobay kulu kaa borey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga daama ceeci ngey ma ngey boŋ sifa ka ne ngey go ga goy sanda iri cine.
13For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
13 Zama borey din dumi ya diya tangarikomyaŋ no, goy-teeriyaŋ no kaŋ ga zamba te, ka ngey boŋ ciya Almasihu diyayaŋ.
14And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
14 Woodin binde, manti dambara hari no, zama Saytan* bumbo ga nga boŋ ciya annura malayka* cine.
15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
15 Yaadin gaa manti hay fo no d'a goy-teerey mo ga ngey boŋ ciya adilitaray waazukoyaŋ. I alwaati bananta ra i ga du ngey goyey banando.
16I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
16 Ay ga ne koyne: boro kulu ma si miila hal ay ya saamo no, amma d'araŋ ga miila ay wo yaadin no, kulu w'ay ta danga saamo, hal ay mo ma fooma kayna.
17That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
17 Haŋ kaŋ ay ga ba ka ne, ay si g'a ci danga Rabbi do no a fun, amma danga saamotaray ra, danga boŋzaaray haro kaŋ ra ay ga hin ka fooma.
18Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
18 Za kaŋ boro boobo go ga fooma nda ndunnya lasaabey, ay mo ga fooma nda woodin yaŋ.
19For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
19 Zama araŋ kaŋ ga ti laakalkooney, araŋ go ga suuru nda borey kaŋ si caram da bine folloŋ.
20For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
20 Da boro fo ga konda araŋ tamtaray ra, da boro fo g'araŋ ŋwa, da boro fo g'araŋ di, da boro fo ga nga boŋ beerandi, da boro fo g'araŋ moyduma saŋ -- kulu nda yaadin araŋ ga suuru nda bora!
21I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
21 Haawi g'ay di ay ma ci kaŋ iri wo cabe danga iri ya londibuunoyaŋ no. Amma da boro fo ga yadda ka fooma nda hay fo (ay go ga salaŋ sanda saamo cine) ay mo ga fooma nd'a.
22Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
22 Ngey wo Ibraniyanceyaŋ no? To, ay mo yaadin no. Ngey wo Israyla boroyaŋ no? Ay mo yaadin no. Ngey wo Ibrahim bandayaŋ no? Ay mo yaadin no.
23Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
23 Ngey wo Almasihu goy-teeriyaŋ no? (ay go ga salaŋ sanda saamo cine), sanku fa binde ay! Taabi goy boobo ra ay ga bis'ey, da sorro boobo kasu ra koyyaŋ, da karyaŋ boobo ra, da sorro boobo bu-jase gaa tooyaŋ ra mo.
24Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
24 Sorro gu Yahudancey* n'ay barzu hala barzu me waytaaci afo si.
25Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
25 Sorro hinza i n'ay kar da goobu. Sorro fo i n'ay catu nda tondiyaŋ. Sorro hinza hi mun d'ay. Cin fo da zaari fo ay go teeku boŋ ga dandi.
26In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
26 Ay go diraw ra sorro marge, ay go isa saaru ra, da zayey saaru, d'ay dumi saaru, da dumi* cindey saaru, da kwaara ra saaru, da saajo ra saaru, da teeku saaru, da nya-ize tangarikomey saaru ra.
27In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
27 Ay go goy da taabi ra, da hanna ka mo ganji jirbi yaŋ sorro boobo, da haray, da jaw, da mehawyaŋ sorro boobo, da hargu nda bankaaray banji.
28Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
28 Kaŋ waana woodin yaŋ, hay fo go no kaŋ go g'ay kankam zaari kulu: Almasihu margey kulu sakulla no.
29Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
29 May no ka jaŋ gaabi kaŋ ay mo mana jaŋ? May no i ga daŋ a ma taali te, kaŋ ay bina mana sara?
30If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
30 D'a tilas ay ma fooma, kal ay ma fooma nda hayey kaŋ ga ti ay gaabi-jaŋa waney.
31The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
31 Rabbi Yesu Irikoyo, kaŋ ga ti a Baabo mo, nga kaŋ ga ti hal abada albarkakoyo, a ga bay ay si ga taari!
32In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
32 Damaskos dabarikoono kaŋ ga ti Bonkooni Aretas koy fo, a na Damaskos kwaara batu hal nga m'ay di.
33And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
33 Kala birno finetar fo ra no i n'ay zumandi cilla ra, hal ay du ka yana a kambe ra.
