¹Trobul te luvudiv ma, marka ke kodia nai mishto. Numa si te dav duma akana pal dieli kai dikhlem ai kai dia ma O Del te zhanav.

¹To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

²Zhanav ieke manushes kai diasas pe le Devleske kai de desh u shtar bersh palpale sas ingerdo zhi ando trito rhaio. (Chi zhanav te sas lino peske statosa, vai bi peske statosko, chi zhanav, O Del zhanel ferdi.)

²I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago — whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God hath known — such an one being caught away unto the third heaven;

³E zhanav ke kodo manush sas ingerdo ando rhaio (ai mai iek data mai mothav tumenge, chi zhanav, te sas lino peske statosa, vai bi peske statosko, chi zhanav, ferdi O Del zhanel.)

³and I have known such a man — whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God hath known, —

⁴Ai kotse ando rhaio ashundia vorbi kai nashtilpe te mai motholpe pa lende, ai kai nai lau le manusheske te del duma.

⁴that he was caught away to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.

⁵Me luvudisardemas kodole manushes, numa me chi luvudisardemas man, de ferdi te mothav pal dieli kai sikaven murho kovlimos.

⁵Of such an one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities,

⁶Te manglemas te luvudiv ma, chi avilemas iek dzilo, ke phendemas o chachimos, numa arakhav ma te na luvudiv ma, ke chi mangav khonik te gindil pa mande ke sim mai but ke so dikhel ke kerav ai so mothav.

⁶for if I may wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for truth I will say; but I forebear, lest any one in regard to me may think anything above what he doth see me, or doth hear anything of me;

⁷Numa te na avav barimatango kai sas ma dine dieli te zhanav kai si defial bare, sas ma dino iek naswalimas kai dukhavel, kai avel sar iek sluga tradini katar o beng te marel ma, ai te inkerel ma te na avav barimatango.

⁷and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch.

⁸Trivar rhugisailem ka Del anda kado naswalimos, ai manglem lestar te sastiarel ma.

⁸Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me,

⁹Ai wo dia ma atweto, "Murho mishtimos si so godi trobul tu , ke murhi putiera sikadiol peski buchi kana san kovlo." Mai drago mange sas murhe ilesa te luvudiv ma anda murhe kovlimata, saxke e putiera le Kristoski te arakhel man.

⁹and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;` most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:

¹⁰Anda kodia raduima andal kovlimata, kai maren mandar mui andal nekazuira, kana chinuin ma, ai le baiuria kai aven pe mande pala Kristo; ke kana sim kovlo, antunchi sim zuralo.

¹⁰wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses — for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

¹¹Dav duma sar te avilemas dzilo, numa tume kerdia kadia. Tume trobunas te chacharen ma. Ke vi te chi sim kanchi, chi sim vov si mai tele ke sar tumare slugi.

¹¹I have become a fool — boasting; ye — ye did compel me; for I ought by you to have been commended, for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles — even if I am nothing.

¹²Le dieli kai sikaven ke sim sluga kerdile mashkar tumende ieka rhavda sa kai sas maladi; kodola dieli sas le semnuria, le chudimata, ai le mirakluria.

¹²The signs, indeed, of the apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds,

¹³Ande soste sanas tume mai xantsi arakhle ke sar le kolaver khangeria, de ferdi ke chi manglem tumendar kanchi? Iertin ma anda kodia.

¹³for what is there in which ye were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this injustice!

¹⁴Eta, gata sim te mai zhav tumende pe trito data, ai pale chi mangava tumendar kanchi. Tumen mangav, ai na tumare loven. Chaches nai le glate kai trobul te nirin love te pravaren penge niamon, numa le niamuria te nirin love ai te pravaren le glaten.

¹⁴Lo, a third time I am ready to come unto you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not yours, but you, for the children ought not for the parents to lay up, but the parents for the children,

¹⁵Ai te avava raduime te zidiv so godi si ma, ai te zidivma man te zhutiv tumen.

¹⁵and I most gladly will spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, more abundantly loving you, less I am loved.

¹⁶Avava tumenge mai xantsi drago te avena tume mange kadia de drago? Tume preznain, ke chi mangavas kanchi tumendar. Numa vari kon mothola, ke zhanglem sar te kerav ai ke astardem tume le xoxaimasa.

¹⁶And be it [so], I — I did not burden you, but being crafty, with guile I did take you;

¹⁷So aliaren? Ke lem vari so tumendar katar le manush kai tradem tumenge?

¹⁷any one of those whom I have sent unto you — by him did I take advantage of you?

¹⁸Manglema katar o Titus te zhal tumende, ai tradem lesa le phrales kai zhanen. Tume mothon ke o Titus lia vari so tumendar? Pate chi kerdiam wo ai me iek fielo buchi ai phirdiam saikfielo?

¹⁸I entreated Titus, and did send with [him] the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? in the same spirit did we not walk? — did we not in the same steps?

¹⁹Tume gindin de dumult ke ame rodas te chachuas angla tumende. Nichi! Ame das duma sar O Kristo mangel angla Del, ai ame phenas tumenge sa kadala dieli, murhe kuchi vortacha, te bariol tumaro pachamos.

¹⁹Again, think ye that to you we are making defence? before God in Christ do we speak; and the all things, beloved, [are] for your up-building,

²⁰Ke dar mange ke kana zhava tumende chi arakhav tume sar manglemas, ai ke tume chi arakhen man sar tume manglianas. Dar mange ke arakhava chingara ai zhaluzi, ai xoli, ai kai ferdi tumenge mangen , ai te den po lazhav, ai pupuimos, ai chi len sama, ai barimata, ai bunto.

²⁰for I fear lest, having come, not such as I wish I may find you, and I — I may be found by you such as ye do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, evil-speakings, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,

²¹Dar mange ke kana mai zhava tumende murho Del huliarel ma pale tele angla tumende, ai avela te rovav pe but zhene kai kerde o bezex mai anglal, ai kai chi keisaile anda bi vuzhimos andai kurvia, ai sa le chorhe dieli kai kerde.

²¹lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may bewail many of those having sinned before, and not having reformed concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and lasciviousness, that they did practise.
