1I must needs glory, though it is not expedient; but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
1Trobul te luvudiv ma, marka ke kodia nai mishto. Numa si te dav duma akana pal dieli kai dikhlem ai kai dia ma O Del te zhanav.
2I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up even to the third heaven.
2Zhanav ieke manushes kai diasas pe le Devleske kai de desh u shtar bersh palpale sas ingerdo zhi ando trito rhaio. (Chi zhanav te sas lino peske statosa, vai bi peske statosko, chi zhanav, O Del zhanel ferdi.)
3And I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I know not; God knoweth),
3E zhanav ke kodo manush sas ingerdo ando rhaio (ai mai iek data mai mothav tumenge, chi zhanav, te sas lino peske statosa, vai bi peske statosko, chi zhanav, ferdi O Del zhanel.)
4how that he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
4Ai kotse ando rhaio ashundia vorbi kai nashtilpe te mai motholpe pa lende, ai kai nai lau le manusheske te del duma.
5On behalf of such a one will I glory: but on mine own behalf I will not glory, save in [my] weaknesses.
5Me luvudisardemas kodole manushes, numa me chi luvudisardemas man, de ferdi te mothav pal dieli kai sikaven murho kovlimos.
6For if I should desire to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I shall speak the truth: but I forbear, lest any man should account of me above that which he seeth me [to be], or heareth from me.
6Te manglemas te luvudiv ma, chi avilemas iek dzilo, ke phendemas o chachimos, numa arakhav ma te na luvudiv ma, ke chi mangav khonik te gindil pa mande ke sim mai but ke so dikhel ke kerav ai so mothav.
7And by reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, that I should not be exalted overmuch.
7Numa te na avav barimatango kai sas ma dine dieli te zhanav kai si defial bare, sas ma dino iek naswalimas kai dukhavel, kai avel sar iek sluga tradini katar o beng te marel ma, ai te inkerel ma te na avav barimatango.
8Concerning this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
8Trivar rhugisailem ka Del anda kado naswalimos, ai manglem lestar te sastiarel ma.
9And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for [my] power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
9Ai wo dia ma atweto, "Murho mishtimos si so godi trobul tu , ke murhi putiera sikadiol peski buchi kana san kovlo." Mai drago mange sas murhe ilesa te luvudiv ma anda murhe kovlimata, saxke e putiera le Kristoski te arakhel man.
10Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
10Anda kodia raduima andal kovlimata, kai maren mandar mui andal nekazuira, kana chinuin ma, ai le baiuria kai aven pe mande pala Kristo; ke kana sim kovlo, antunchi sim zuralo.
11I am become foolish: ye compelled me; for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I am nothing.
11Dav duma sar te avilemas dzilo, numa tume kerdia kadia. Tume trobunas te chacharen ma. Ke vi te chi sim kanchi, chi sim vov si mai tele ke sar tumare slugi.
12Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, by signs and wonders and mighty works.
12Le dieli kai sikaven ke sim sluga kerdile mashkar tumende ieka rhavda sa kai sas maladi; kodola dieli sas le semnuria, le chudimata, ai le mirakluria.
13For what is there wherein ye were made inferior to the rest of the churches, except [it be] that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this wrong.
13Ande soste sanas tume mai xantsi arakhle ke sar le kolaver khangeria, de ferdi ke chi manglem tumendar kanchi? Iertin ma anda kodia.
14Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a burden to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
14Eta, gata sim te mai zhav tumende pe trito data, ai pale chi mangava tumendar kanchi. Tumen mangav, ai na tumare loven. Chaches nai le glate kai trobul te nirin love te pravaren penge niamon, numa le niamuria te nirin love ai te pravaren le glaten.
15And I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
15Ai te avava raduime te zidiv so godi si ma, ai te zidivma man te zhutiv tumen.
16But be it so, I did not myself burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
16Avava tumenge mai xantsi drago te avena tume mange kadia de drago? Tume preznain, ke chi mangavas kanchi tumendar. Numa vari kon mothola, ke zhanglem sar te kerav ai ke astardem tume le xoxaimasa.
17Did I take advantage of you by any one of them whom I have sent unto you?
17So aliaren? Ke lem vari so tumendar katar le manush kai tradem tumenge?
18I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? walked we not in the same spirit? [walked we] not in the same steps?
18Manglema katar o Titus te zhal tumende, ai tradem lesa le phrales kai zhanen. Tume mothon ke o Titus lia vari so tumendar? Pate chi kerdiam wo ai me iek fielo buchi ai phirdiam saikfielo?
19Ye think all this time that we are excusing ourselves unto you. In the sight of God speak we in Christ. But all things, beloved, [are] for your edifying.
19Tume gindin de dumult ke ame rodas te chachuas angla tumende. Nichi! Ame das duma sar O Kristo mangel angla Del, ai ame phenas tumenge sa kadala dieli, murhe kuchi vortacha, te bariol tumaro pachamos.
20For I fear, lest by any means, when I come, I should find you not such as I would, and should myself be found of you such as ye would not; lest by any means [there should be] strife, jealousy, wraths, factions, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;
20Ke dar mange ke kana zhava tumende chi arakhav tume sar manglemas, ai ke tume chi arakhen man sar tume manglianas. Dar mange ke arakhava chingara ai zhaluzi, ai xoli, ai kai ferdi tumenge mangen , ai te den po lazhav, ai pupuimos, ai chi len sama, ai barimata, ai bunto.
21lest again when I come my God should humble me before you, and I should mourn for many of them that have sinned heretofore, and repented not of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they committed.
21Dar mange ke kana mai zhava tumende murho Del huliarel ma pale tele angla tumende, ai avela te rovav pe but zhene kai kerde o bezex mai anglal, ai kai chi keisaile anda bi vuzhimos andai kurvia, ai sa le chorhe dieli kai kerde.
