¹Manglemas te rhevdin xantsi dzilimos, e rhevdin man! Zhaluzo sim anda tumende numa iek zhaluzia kai si Devleski.

¹O that ye were bearing with me a little of the folly, but ye also do bear with me:

²Ke tume san sar iek shei bari vuzhi kai shinadem te ansurilpe ieke rhomesa, kodo si O Kristo.

²for I am zealous for you with zeal of God, for I did betroth you to one husband, a pure virgin, to present to Christ,

³Numa dar mange ke tumari goji shindiol ai ke meken tume katar tumaro phanglimos kai si vorta ai vuzho le Kristosa, sar e Eve kai meklia pe te xasavol katar le xoxaimata le gojaver le sapeske.

³and I fear, lest, as the serpent did beguile Eve in his subtilty, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that [is] in the Christ;

⁴Ke te avela vari kon te mothol tumenge pa aver Jesus, ke sar kodo kai phendiam ame; vai te premina aver duxo ke sar kodo kai premisardian, vai aver lashi viasta ke sar kucha kai premisardian! Tume rhevdin mishto kodia.

⁴for if, indeed, he who is coming doth preach another Jesus whom we did not preach, or another Spirit ye receive which ye did not receive, or other good news which ye did not accept — well were ye bearing [it],

⁵Gindiv ke chi sim mai tele ande kancheste ke sar tumare slugi!

⁵for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles,

⁶Amborim ke chi dav duma mishto, numa zhanav but dieli; sikadiam tumenge vorta kana godi dashtisardiam ai ande soste godi.

⁶and even if unlearned in word — yet not in knowledge, but in every thing we were made manifest in all things to you.

⁷Kana andem tumenge e lashi viasta le Devleski ivia kerdem kodia; meklema man tele saxke te vazden tume. So aliaren ke shubisailem kai kerdem kadia?

⁷The sin did I do — myself humbling that ye might be exalted, because freely the good news of God I did proclaim to you?

⁸Premisardem te avav pochindo katar aver khangeria.

⁸other assemblies I did rob, having taken wages, for your ministration;

⁹Lem lenge love te zhutiv tume. Ai kana simas tumende chi lem kanikastar love kana trobulas man; ke le phral kai avile andai Macedonia andine mange so godi trobulas ma. Arakhlema te na mangav tumendar kanchi, ai kadia kerava.

⁹and being present with you, and having been in want, I was chargeable to no one, for my lack did the brethren supply — having come from Macedonia — and in everything burdenless to you I did keep myself, and will keep.

¹⁰Ando chachimos le Kristosko kai si ande mande, phenav tumenge ke kado luvudimos chi avela mandar lino ande chi iek than ande Gretsia.

¹⁰The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting shall not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia;

¹¹Sostar phendem kadia? Ke nai mange drago tume? Nichi. O Del zhanel.

¹¹wherefore? because I do not love you? God hath known!

¹²Zhava angle ai kerava sar kerava akana, saxke te lav so godi sai del kodolen te sai luvudinpe, ai te mothon ke sa sar amende keren buchi.

¹²and what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also;

¹³Kodola manush si xoxamle apostluria, xoxaven ande pengi buchi, ai won keren te miazon apostluria le Kristoske.

¹³for those such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,

¹⁴Nai shodo! Ke o beng sai kerdiol te miazol angelo vediarako!

¹⁴and no wonder — for even the Adversary doth transform himself into a messenger of light;

¹⁵Nai shodo ke leske slugi keren te miazon sar slugi le chachimaske. Numa avela lenge ando gor pala so kerde.

¹⁵no great thing, then, if also his ministrants do transform themselves as ministrants of righteousness — whose end shall be according to their works.

¹⁶Mai mothav iek data: te na dikhel khonik pe mande sar pek dzilo. Te na nichi, premin mai sar iek dzilo, saxke te luvudiv ma; me xantsi.

¹⁶Again I say, may no one think me to be a fool; and if otherwise, even as a fool receive me, that I also a little may boast.

¹⁷E so mothav akana, nai so manglino O Del, ande kodia diela kai luvudiv ma, numa sar iek dzilo dav duma.

¹⁷That which I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting;

¹⁸Ke si but zhene kai luvudinpe ando stato, I me luvudiv ma.

¹⁸since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast:

¹⁹Ke tume rhevdin ilesa le dzilen, tume kai san gojaver.

¹⁹for gladly do ye bear with the fools — being wise,

²⁰Tume rhevdin te mothon tumenge so te keren sar le rhoburia, vai len sama so keren, vai dziliaren tume, ai dikhen banges pe tumende, ai den tume palmi palmi pa mui.

²⁰for ye bear, if any one is bringing you under bondage, if any one doth devour, if any one doth take away, if any one doth exalt himself, if any one on the face doth smite you;

²¹Lazhav mange te mothav ke sikadiam ke kovle samas, no te tromala vari kon te luvudilpe ande vari soste me dav duma sar te avilemas dzilo, ai i me tromava.

²¹in reference to dishonour I speak, how that we were weak, and in whatever any one is bold — in foolishness I say [it] — I also am bold.

²²Won si Zhidovo? I me sim. Won si Israelite? I me sim. Won si andai vitsa le Abrahamoski? I me sim.

²²Hebrews are they? I also! Israelites are they? I also! seed of Abraham are they? I also!

²³Won si slugi le Kristoske? Apo, Me dav duma sar te dzilailemas defial, ai me sim mai but ke sar won! Me kerdem mai but buchi lendar, me simas ande temnitsa mai butivar, simas mardo mai but, ai mai butivar sas te merav lendar.

²³ministrants of Christ are they? — as beside myself I speak — I more; in labours more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times;

²⁴Panzhvar le Zhiduvuria dine ma le trendai inia bichuria.

²⁴from Jews five times forty [stripes] save one I did receive;

²⁵Trivar simas mardo katar le Romanuria, ai iek data shude le baxensa te mudaren ma; trivar parhadile le paraxoduria kana simas po pai, ai iek data beshlem iek dies (bish tai shtar chasuria) ando pai.

²⁵thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice was I shipwrecked, a night and a day in the deep I have passed;

²⁶Butivar pe murhe but droma kai zhavas dikhem baiuria katar paia kai denas opral, ai katar le chor, ai katar murho narodo le Zhiduvuria, ai katar kodola kai Nas Zhiduvuria; dikhlem baiuria andel foruria, ai vi andel pusti, ai pe maria, ai mashkar le xoxamle phral.

²⁶journeyings many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from kindred, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brethren;

²⁷Kerdem defial phare bucha ai bare zumaimata ai butivar chi sutem; bokhalo simas ai troshalo; butivar chi xalem ke nas xaben, shil sas mange, ai nas ma tsalia.

²⁷in laboriousness and painfulness, in watchings many times, in hunger and thirst, in fastings many times, in cold and nakedness;

²⁸Ai mai aver dieli kai kerdilia mansa, swako dies sim andel nekazuria kai den ma le khangeria.

²⁸apart from the things without — the crowding upon me that is daily — the care of all the assemblies.

²⁹Te avela vari kon kovlo ando pachamos, i me aliarav ma kovlo; te perela vari kon ando bezex, vi man dukhal.

²⁹Who is infirm, and I am not infirm? who is stumbled, and I am not fired;

³⁰Te trobula te luvudiv ma, luvudiva ma ande sa le dieli kai kovliaren murho stato.

³⁰if to boast it behoveth [me], of the things of my infirmity I will boast;

³¹O Del ai o Dat le Devlesko O Jesus, ai kai si swuntsome lesko anav ande swako vriama! Zhanel ke chi xoxavav.

³¹the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ — who is blessed to the ages — hath known that I do not lie! —

³²Kana simas ando Damascus, o governori kai sas tela vas le amperatosko o Aretas thodia ketanen kal vudara le foroske te aterdiarel ma.

³²In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me,

³³Numa kerde ma te nakhav katar iek feliastra kai sas ando zido le forosko, ai vuliarde ma andel shkonitsa, ai kadia si kai skepisailem lestar.

³³and through a window in a rope basket I was let down, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.
