¹Me o Pavlo, phenav tumenge, me kai sim sar mothon lazhano kana sim tumensa, numa kana chi mai sim tumensa, chi mai sim lazhano. Mangav ma tumendar katar o kovlimos ai o lashimos le Kristosko.

¹And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you — through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ — who in presence, indeed [am] humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you,

²Na keren te na mai lazhav tumendar kana avava tumen; ke zhanav ke sai sikavav ke chi lazhav mashkar kodola kai gindin ke keras le dieli le statoske.

²and I beseech [you], that, being present, I may not have courage, with the confidence with which I reckon to be bold against certain reckoning us as walking according to the flesh;

³Chaches traiisaras andek stato manushesko, numa chi maras ame sar le manush.

³for walking in the flesh, not according to the flesh do we war,

⁴Numa e armia kai si ame te maras ame, nai armia le manushengi kai si pe kadia phuv, numa e armia e zurali le Devleski kai sai peravel le dieli le bengeske.

⁴for the weapons of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds,

⁵Ame peravas le dieli kai nai chache angla Del; Ame peravas so godi vazden andel barimata karing e goji le Devleski; ai ame astaras so godi gindo te pachal o mui le Kristosko.

⁵reasonings bringing down, and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ,

⁶Ai gata sam te dosharas so godi chi pachal o mui le Krstosko, kana tume pachana vorta o mui le Kristosko.

⁶and being in readiness to avenge every disobedience, whenever your obedience may be fulfilled.

⁷Tume dikhen avrial te mothola vari kon ke wo si le Kristosko? Ai te mothol peske mishto wo ande peste, ke sar wo si le Kristosko iame sam.

⁷The things in presence do ye see? if any one hath trusted in himself to be Christ`s, this let him reckon again from himself, that according as he is Christ`s, so also we [are] Christ`s;

⁸Ke nai mange lazhav, marka ke luvudisailem, xantsi but andai putiera kai O Del dia ame, e putiera kai si te barion ando pachamos, ai na te rimon tume.

⁸for even if also anything more abundantly I shall boast concerning our authority, that the Lord gave us for building up, and not for casting you down, I shall not be ashamed;

⁹Chi mangav te miazol ke rodav te daravav tumen le lilensa kai tradav tumenge.

⁹that I may not seem as if I would terrify you through the letters,

¹⁰Ke eta so mothon, "Le lila kai tradel o Pavlo defial zuralele, numa kana si mashkar amende o Pavlo kovlo lo, ai lesko divano nai lasho."

¹⁰`because the letters indeed — saith one — [are] weighty and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech despicable.`

¹¹Kodo kai mothol kadia, mangav te zhanel mishto ke saikfielo ande so ramosaras ande amare lila kana chi sam tumensa, ai so kerasa kana avasa mashkar tumende.

¹¹This one — let him reckon thus: that such as we are in word, through letters, being absent, such also, being present, [we are] in deed.

¹²Ame chi tromas te avas iek fielo vai te miazuas sar uni kai miazol lenge mai lashe le sar savorhe. Ke won chi haliaren! Won keren pengi musura te musurin pe, ai keren kris pe pende sar won gindin!

¹²For we do not make bold to rank or to compare ourselves with certain of those commending themselves, but they, among themselves measuring themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise,

¹³Numa ame, chi mangas te luvudisavas opral pai musura kai O Del thodia amenge, kai dia ame te avas zhi tumende.

¹³and we in regard to the unmeasured things will not boast ourselves, but after the measure of the line that the God of measure did appoint to us — to reach even unto you;

¹⁴Chi nakhas amare musuri sar te avilino te na aviliamas zhi tumende, numa aresliam zhi tumende, ai andiam tumenge e lashi viasta le Kristoski.

¹⁴for not as not reaching to you do we stretch ourselves overmuch, for even unto you did we come in the good news of the Christ,

¹⁵No chi anklias avri andal musuri kai sas thodine. Chi luvudisavas andai buchi kai kerde le kolaver, numa inker ame pachas ame ke tumaro pachamos bariola, ai ke ame sai kerasa iek buchi but mai bari mashkar tumende, numa beshas sagda andel musuri kai O Del thodia amenge.

¹⁵not boasting of the things not measured, in other men`s labours, and having hope — your faith increasing — in you to be enlarged, according to our line — into abundance,

¹⁶Porme ame sai phenas e lashi viasta andel gava kai si mai dur tumendar, bi te luvudisavas anda so le kolaver vunzhe kerde ande penge gava.

¹⁶in the [places] beyond you to proclaim good news, not in another`s line in regard to the things made ready, to boast;

¹⁷Numa sar mothol E Vorba le Devleski, "Kodo kai mangel te luvudilpe, luvudilpe anda so kerdia O Del."

¹⁷and he who is boasting — in the Lord let him boast;

¹⁸Chaches o manush kai si chaches lasho, nai kodo kai mothol peske wo ke lasho lo, numa kodo si lasho kai mothol O Del pa leste ke lasho lo.

¹⁸for not he who is commending himself is approved, but he whom the Lord doth commend.
