¹Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, and the brother Timotheus, to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia.

¹Katar o Pavlo, ek apostle le Jesus Kristoske katar e voia le Devleski, ai amaro phral o Timote kai khangeri le Devleski kai si ando Corinth, ai sa le shave le Devleske kai si ande sa e Gretsia.

²Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

²O mishtimos ai e pacha katar O Del amaro Dat, ai katar le Devles O Jesus Kristo.

³Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement;

³Raduime te avel O Del, O Dat amare Devlesko O Jesus Kristo, O Dat kai si pherdi mila, ai O Del kai pechil/zhutil ande soste godi.

⁴who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged of God.

⁴Wo pechil ame ande sa amaro chinuria, saxke te sai ame pechisaras kodolen kai nakhen ande swako chinuria, ai te anas lenge o pechimos kai sas amen dino katar O Del.

⁵Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.

⁵Ke sar le chinuria kai sas le Kristos bution ande amende, sakadia amaro pechimos bariol le Kristosa.

⁶But whether we are in tribulation, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which *we* also suffer,

⁶Te chinuisaras, si te aven tume pechime, ai te aven skepime; te sam ame pechime si te aven tume pechime, kai kodo pechimos dela tume te sai ankeren rhavdasa sa kodola chinuria kai ame chinuisaras.

⁷(and our hope for you [is] sure;) or whether we are encouraged, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.

⁷Ame pachas ai zhanas so avela tumensa, ke ame zhanas ke sar vi tume chinuin sar amende, vi tume sai aven pechime sar sam ame pechime.

⁸For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened [to us] in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond [our] power, so as to despair even of living.

⁸Mangas amare phral te xhanen savestar chino dikhliam ande Asia. O chino kadia de baro sas amenge, ai nashti mai rhevdisarasas kai darasas ke si te meras.

⁹But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have our trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;

⁹Gindisardiam ke trobulas te meras ame, kodia kerdiliasas saxke te sichuas te na pachas ame ande amende, numa te pachas ame ferdi ando Del kai zhuvindil le mulen.

¹⁰who has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;

¹⁰Wo si kai skepisardia ame anda kodia bari martia, ai wo kai mai skepila ame; e, si ame kodo pachamos ande leste ke mai skepila amen;

¹¹ye also labouring together by supplication for us that the gift towards us, through means of many persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of many for us.

¹¹ke tume zhutin ame kana rhugin tume anda amende, kadia O Del ashunela le rhugimata butenge kai rhuginpe anda amende, O Del zhutila amen; ai but naisina leske pa amende.

¹²For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God's grace,) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.

¹²Eta, ande soste sai luvudisavas, amaro ilo mothol amenge ke amaro traio ande kadia lumia, ai mai but mashkar tumende sas prosto ai chachimasa angla Del, ai ninkerdo katar o mishtimos le Devlesko ai na katar e goji le manusheske.

¹³For we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end,

¹³Ande amare lila chi ramosaras tumenge aver diela, de ferdi so si ramome ai so haliaren.

¹⁴even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as *ye* [are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁴Ai pachav ma ke aresena te haliaren vorta so godi si ramome. Akana haliaren xantsi ferdi, numa kana avela O Jesus Kristo sai luvudin tume anda amende, sar ame avasa anda tumende.

¹⁵And with this confidence I purposed to come to you previously, that ye might have a second favour;

¹⁵Pachavas ma ande kodia kai mangavas mai anglal te zhav tumende, saxke te avel tumen dino o mishtimos duvar.

¹⁶and to pass through to Macedonia by you, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be set forward by you to Judaea.

¹⁶Mangavas te nakhav tumendar te zhav ande Macedonia, porme kana avilemas palpale pale avilemas tumende, ai porme zhutisardianas ma te zhav ande Judea.

¹⁷Having therefore this purpose, did I then use lightness? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to flesh, that there should be with me yea yea, and nay nay?

¹⁷Kana manglem te kerav kadia so gindin, ke pirasa kerdem? Vai so manglem te kerav si ferdi dieli mausheske saxke te mothav "E" vai "Nichi" andak data?

¹⁸Now God [is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.

¹⁸Numa O Del si chacho, so phendem tumenge nai "E" ai "Nichi".

¹⁹For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea *is* in him.

¹⁹Ke O Shav le Devlesko O Jesus Kristo sas phendo mashkar tumende katar o Silvanus, ai o Timote, ai vi me, chi aviliam te mothas "E" vai "Nichi", numa ferdi "E" kai si katar O Del.

²⁰For whatever promises of God [there are], in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us.

²⁰Wo si O Del kai si "E" ka sa le dieli kai shinadia. Katar O Jesus Kristo sai mothas "Amen" te bariaras le Devlesko anav.

²¹Now he that establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, [is] God,

²¹Ai wo si O Del kai del ame zor tumensa andak than ando traio le Kristosko. O Del si kai thodia ame rigate.

²²who also has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

²²Kai thodia lesko semno pe amende, ai dia ande amare ile O Swunto Duxo, sar te ashel lasho andal dieli kai shinadia amenge.

²³But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.

²³Me akharav O Del sar murho marturo, wo zhanel murho ilo! Te na avela vari so pe tumende si kai manglem te na zhav inker ande Corinth.

²⁴Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow-workmen of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

²⁴Ame chi rodas te sicharas tume so te pachan, ke tume ankeren tumaro pachamos. Numa, ame mangas te keras buchi tumensa pe tumaro raduimos.
