1Nekk Bulus i ɣef qqaṛen țsetḥiɣ m'ara iliɣ zdat-wen meɛna m'ara beɛdeɣ fell-awen weɛṛeɣ ɣuṛ-wen, bɣiɣ a kkun-nhuɣ s leḥnana d ṛṛeḥma n Lmasiḥ.
1But I myself, Paul, entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of the Christ, who, as to appearance, [when present] [am] mean among you, but absent am bold towards you;
2Di leɛnaya-nwen, ur iyi-ḥeṛṛset ara ad iwɛiṛeɣ m'ara iliɣ yid-wen ! Axaṭer lewɛaṛa-inu a ț-id-sbeggneɣ s lețkal yerna mbla lḥecma ɣer wid i ɣ-iḥesben nțeddu s lɛeqliya n ddunit.
2but I beseech that present I may not be bold with the confidence with which I think to be daring towards some who think of us as walking according to flesh.
3?-țideț d imdanen i nella, lameɛna ur nețnaɣ ara s leslaḥ s wayes țnaɣen yemdanen ;
3For walking in flesh, we do not war according to flesh.
4axaṭer leslaḥ-nneɣ, mačči d wid i ssexdamen yemdanen lameɛna nețnaɣ s leslaḥ n Sidi Ṛebbi i gzemren ad hudden ula d leswaṛ iǧehden.
4For the arms of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but powerful according to God to [the] overthrow of strongholds;
5Nețṛuẓu awal n kra n wid yebɣan a d-kken sennig n tmusni n Sidi Ṛebbi ; nebɣa a nessiweḍ imdanen meṛṛa ad beddlen ixemmimen-nsen iwakken ad ḍuɛen Lmasiḥ.
5overthrowing reasonings and every high thing that lifts itself up against the knowledge of God, and leading captive every thought into the obedience of the Christ;
6Asm'ara tessawḍem ṭṭaɛa-nwen ɣer lekmal-is, imiren a nɛaqeb kra n win iɛuṣan Sidi Ṛebbi.
6and having in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience shall have been fulfilled.
7Walit tideț akken ilaq lḥal : ma yella win itḥeqqeqen belli d ayla n Lmasiḥ i gella, ilaq ad iẓer belli akken yella nețța d ayla n Lmasiḥ i nella ula d nukni.
7Do ye look at what concerns appearance? If any one has confidence in himself that he is of Christ, let him think this again in himself, that even as he [is] of Christ, so also [are] we.
8?as ma zuxxeɣ s tissas i yi-d-ifka Sidi Ṛebbi, ur ssetḥaɣ ara axaṭer tissas-agi ur sseɣlayent ara, lameɛna ad ssemɣuṛent tijmuyaɛ n watmaten di liman.
8For and if I should boast even somewhat more abundantly of our authority, which the Lord has given [to us] for building up and not for your overthrowing, I shall not be put to shame;
9Ur bɣiɣ ara aț-țɣilem belli bɣiɣ a kkun-sxelɛeɣ s tebṛatin-iw.
9that I may not seem as if I was frightening you by letters:
10Axaṭer llan wid yeqqaṛen : tibṛatin n Bulus qeṛṛḥent, sɛant tissas lameɛna m'ara yili gar-aneɣ ur yesɛi lhiba ur yesɛi tissas di lehduṛ-is.
10because his letters, he says, [are] weighty and strong, but his presence in the body weak, and his speech naught.
11Win i d-yennan annect-a, ilaq ad iẓer belli akken newɛeṛ m'ara wen naru tibṛatin ara newɛeṛ daɣen m'ara nili gar-awen.
11Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by letters [when] absent, such also present in deed.
12Ur nezmir ara a nesseɛdel neɣ a nmettel iman-nneɣ ɣer wid yețcekkiṛen iman-nsen. ?mettilen iman-nsen ɣer yiman-nsen, ḥesben ulac win yellan sennig-nsen ; xuṣṣen di lefhama.
12For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves; but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not intelligent.
13Nukni, ur netzuxxu ara sennig wayen ilaqen, lameɛna nețzuxxu kan s ccɣel i ɣ-d-iwekkel Sidi Ṛebbi ; d ccɣel-agi i ɣ-issawḍen armi d ɣuṛ wen.
13Now *we* will not boast out of measure, but according to the measure of the rule which the God of measure has apportioned to us, to reach to you also.
14Asmi i d-nusa ɣuṛ-wen, ur nɛedda ara tilas n ccɣel-nneɣ axaṭer d nukni i wen-ibeccṛen d imezwura lexbaṛ n lxiṛ n Lmasiḥ.
14For we do not, as not reaching to you, overstretch ourselves, (for we have come to you also in the glad tidings of the Christ;)
15Ur nețzuxxu ara sennig wayen ilaqen, ur nețțawi ara ccan n lxedma n wiyaḍ lameɛna nessaram d kunwi ara yessimɣuṛen ccan n lxedma-nneɣ m'ara timɣuṛem di liman ;
15not boasting out of measure in other people's labours, but having hope, your faith increasing, to be enlarged amongst you, according to our rule, yet more abundantly
16iwakken mbla ma nɛedda i tlisa n ccɣel-nneɣ , a nbecceṛ daɣen lexbaṛ n lxiṛ i tmura nniḍen, mačči d zzux ara nzuxx s ccɣel i xedmen wiyaḍ. Yura di tira iqedsen :
16to announce the glad tidings to that [which is] beyond you, not to be boasting in another's rule of things made ready to hand.
17 Win yebɣan ad izuxx, ad izuxx s wayen ixeddem Sidi Ṛebbi.
17But he that boasts, let him boast in the Lord.
18Axaṭer mačči d win yețzuxxun s yiman-is i gețwaqeblen lameɛna d win yextaṛ Sidi Ṛebbi.
18For not *he* that commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
