1But [as] fellow-workmen, we also beseech that ye receive not the grace of God in vain:
1 Iri mo, kaŋ go ga goy Irikoy banda, iri g'araŋ yaamar araŋ ma si Irikoy gomno ta yaamo.
2(for he says, I have listened to thee in an accepted time, and I have helped thee in a day of salvation: behold, now [is the] well-accepted time; behold, now [the] day of salvation:)
2 Zama a ne: «Alwaati kaŋ ga hagu ra no ay hangan ni se, faaba zaari ra mo no ay na ni gaa.» Guna, sohõ no ga ti alwaato kaŋ ga hagu. Guna, sohõ no ga ti faaba zaaro.
3giving no manner of offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed;
3 Iri si katiyaŋ hari daŋ boro kulu jine, zama i ma si iri goyo jance.
4but in everything commending ourselves as God's ministers, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in straits,
4 Amma hay kulu ra iri go g'iri boŋ cabe sanda Irikoy goy-teeriyaŋ. Iri go g'a te da suuru kuuku, da taabi, da jaŋay, da kankami ra.
5in stripes, in prisons, in riots, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,
5 Barzuyaŋ ra mo, da kasu, da kosongu bindi ra, da taabi goy, da hanna ka batu, da mehawyaŋ ra.
6in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in [the] Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,
6 Iri go g'a te hananyaŋ ra, da bayray, da suuru hinyaŋ, da booriyaŋ, da Biya Hanno, da baakasinay kaŋ sinda munaficitaray.
7in [the] word of truth, in [the] power of God; through the arms of righteousness on the right hand and left,
7 Iri go g'a te da cimi sanno, da Irikoy dabaro, da kambe ŋwaari da kambe wow adilitaray wongu jinayey.
8through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report: as deceivers, and true;
8 Iri go g'a te beerandiyaŋ da kaynandiyaŋ ra, ciine laalo nda ciine hanno ra. I n'iri himandi hallikoyaŋ amma iri ya cimikoyyaŋ no.
9as unknown, and well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as disciplined, and not put to death;
9 Iri ciya boroyaŋ kaŋ i mana bay, amma boro boobo g'iri bay. Iri ciya boroyaŋ kaŋ ga ba ka bu, guna mo iri go ga funa. Iri ciya boroyaŋ kaŋ i gooji, amma i man'iri wi.
10as grieved, but always rejoicing; as poor, but enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
10 Iri go bine-saray-koyyaŋ, amma alwaati kulu iri go ga farhã. Iri ciya talkayaŋ, amma iri go ga boro boobo arzakandi. Iri sinda hay kulu, amma wiiza, hay kulu iri wane no.
11Our mouth is opened to you, Corinthians, our heart is expanded.
11 Ya Korint borey, kaŋ iri n'iri meyey feeri iri mana hay kulu tugu araŋ se, iri n'iri biney feeri araŋ se mo gumo.
12Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your affections;
12 Iri n'iri bine kwaaray cabe araŋ se, amma araŋ no mana araŋ wano cabe iri se baakasinay ra.
13but for an answering recompense, (I speak as to children,) let *your* heart also expand itself.
13 Sohõ araŋ ma ye k'iri bana yaadin -- ay go ga salaŋ araŋ se danga ay izeyaŋ -- kal araŋ m'araŋ biney feeri yaadin ka tonton.
14Be not diversely yoked with unbelievers; for what participation [is there] between righteousness and lawlessness? or what fellowship of light with darkness?
14 Araŋ ma si margu calu* ra da borey kaŋ yaŋ mana cimandi. Zama marguyaŋ fo dumi no go adilitaray da zunubi game ra? Wala markasinay fo dumi no go kaari nda kubay game ra?
15and what consent of Christ with Beliar, or what part for a believer along with an unbeliever?
15 Koyne, mate no Almasihu nda Beliyal* ga te ka margu? Wala baa woofo no go boro kaŋ ga cimandi se boro kaŋ mana cimandi do?
16and what agreement of God's temple with idols? for *ye* are [the] living God's temple; according as God has said, I will dwell among them, and walk among [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people.
16 Woodin banda, sabayaŋ woofo dumi no go Irikoy fuwo da toorey game ra? Zama iri ya Irikoy fundikoono fuwo no, mate kaŋ Irikoy ne: «Ay ga goro i game ra, ka bar-bare i game ra. Ay ga ciya i Irikoyo, ngey mo ga ciya ay jama.»
17Wherefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, saith [the] Lord, and touch not [what is] unclean, and *I* will receive you;
17 Woodin sabbay se Rabbi ne: «Wa fun i game ra ka fay d'ey. Wa si lamba hay kulu kaŋ ga ziibi gaa, ay mo g'araŋ ta.
18and I will be to you for a Father, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, saith [the] Lord Almighty.
18 Ay ga ciya araŋ se Baaba, araŋ mo ga ciya ay se ize aruyaŋ da ize wayyaŋ. Yaadin no Rabbi Hina-Kulu-Koyo ci.»
