¹But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.

¹Jadi', ku'uli' agina neo' -a ulu tilou mpencuai' -koi, apa' uma-a dota mpakasusa' tena nono-ni, hewa to jadi' nto'u pencua' -ku to ri'ulu-e wengi.

²For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?

²Apa' ane kupakasusa' nono-ni, hema lau-damo mpai' to mpotanta'u-a? Uma mpai' hema, apa' koi' to kupakasusa' nono-nie, koi' lau-di to ma'ala mpotanta'u-a.

³And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

³Toe-mile patuju-ku mpo'uki' sura toe-e wengi, bona ane rata mpu'u-a mpai', uma-pi nipakasusa' nono-ku. Apa' kakoo-kono-na, koi' -dile to kana mpakagoe' nono-kue. Pai' monoto hi aku', ane goe' -a, koi' wo'o mpai' goe'.

⁴For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

⁴Nto'u-ku mpo'uki' sura toe wengi, susa' nono-ku, hewa motomo lia ku'epe, duu' -na tudo' ue mata-ku. Bela patuju-ku mpo'uki' sura toe bona mpakasusa' nono-ni. Ku'uki' sura toe bona ni'inca beiwa kabohe ahi' -ku hi koi'.

⁵But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.

⁵Jadi' ane ni'anu, masala' mpu'u-i wengi, tapi' uma muntu' aku' -wadi to napedahi nono-ku. Koi' wo'o napedahi nono-ni omea. Aga, bona neo' wa karapo' rahi lolita-ku, agina ku'uli' ria-koi hantongo' to napedahi nono-ni.

⁶Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.

⁶Kaworia' -ni hi Korintus, nihuku' -imi-hawo. Jadi', ku'uli' -kokoi, hono' -mi-hawo pehuku' -ni tetu-e.

⁷So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

⁷Ni'ampungi pai' nitanta'u-imi-hawo. Nee-neo' mpai' susa' rahi na'epe, alaa-na mere' -mi nono-na.

⁸Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.

⁸Toe pai' kuperapi' bona nipopohiloi-i-hawo ahi' -ni.

⁹For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.

⁹Hi rala sura-ku to ri'ulu wengi, kuhubui-koi mpohuku' -i. Patuju-ku mpo'uki' sura toe, bona kuponciloi-kokoi ba nituku' wa hawe'ea hawa' -ku ba uma. Pai' nituku' mpu'u-mi hawa' -ku toe-e wengi.

¹⁰To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;

¹⁰Aga hewa toe lau, ku'uli' agina neo' -ipi nihuku' oa'. Ane ni'ampungi-imi-hawo, aku' wo'o mpo'ampungi-i. Ane ria mpu'u sala' -na hi aku', ku'ampungi-i-kuna. Kristus mpo'inca ihi' nono-ku! Apa' konoa-ku bona hintuwu' -koi.

¹¹Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

¹¹Toe pai' ku'uli' agina ta'ampungi-i-hawo, bona neo' mpai' napoka'alai Magau' Anudaa' mposori-ta. Apa' ta'inca moto-mi akala-na.

¹²Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,

¹²Kakaliliua-na ompi', pe'ongko' -ku wengi ngkai ngata Efesus, hilou-a mpokeni Kareba Kristus hi ngata Troas. Karata-ku hi Troas, Pue' mpobea ohea-ku bona mobago-a hi ria.

¹³I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.

¹³Aga nau' wae, uma oa' rodo nono-ku, apa' ko'ia ku'epei kareba to nakeni Titus ngkai koi' -e ompi'. Toe pai' mpalakana-ama hi ompi' -ompi' to hi ria, pai' kaliliu-ama tumai hi Makedonia toi-e.

¹⁴Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

¹⁴Aga mpo'uli' -a tarima kasi hi Alata'ala, apa' ngkai posidaia' -ta hante Kristus natete' oa' -ta dohe-na pai' nawai' -tamo pedagia. Batua-na, hiapa kahiloua-kai, kipalele Kareba Lompe' bona hawe'ea tauna mpo'epe pai' mpo'inca Alata'ala.

¹⁵For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

¹⁶Hi poncilo-na Alata'ala, kai' hewa dupa' to ratunu, to ra'enga' hawe'ea tauna. Apa' kai' -mi to nasuro mpopalele Kareba Kristus hi hawe'ea tauna. Hi tauna to mpopangala' Kareba Lompe', kai' hewa anu mohonga, apa' ki'uli' -raka kareba to mpowai' -ra katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na. Aga hi tauna to mposapuaka Kareba Lompe', kai' hewa anu mohoa, apa' ki'uli' -raka kanahuku' -ra mpai' Alata'ala hi rala naraka. Hema mpai' to mpakule' mpobago bago toe? Hante pakulea' -ta moto, uma ami' hema.

¹⁶To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

¹⁷Aga uma wo'o-kai hewa tauna hantongo' to doko' mponcawa babalua' -ra Lolita Alata'ala. Moroli' patuju-kai, makono lolita-kai, apa' Alata'ala-mi to mpohubui-kai ngkeni Kareba Kristus, pai' Hi'a wo'o to mpotiroi-kai.

¹⁷For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
