¹Manglem te na zhav tumende, saxke te na nekezhiv tume pale.

¹And I decided this to myself, not again to come in sorrow unto you,

²Ke te nekezhiva tumen, kon sai del man o raduimos? De ferdi kodola kai nekezhisardem le.

²for if I make you sorry, then who is he who is making me glad, except he who is made sorry by me?

³Eta, Sostar ramosardem tumenge kadia, chi mangavas te avav tumende ai te avav nekezhime katar le manush kai trobunas te den ma raduimos, zhanav ke kana sim raduime, vi tume san raduime.

³and I wrote to you this same thing, that having come, I may not have sorrow from them of whom it behoved me to have joy, having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all,

⁴E ramov tumenge ieke ilesa kai si chinuime ai dukhado, ai bute asuensa, te na nekezhiv tume, numa te zhanen sode de san mange drago.

⁴for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that ye might be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.

⁵Te si vari kon mashkar tumende kai nekezhisailo, chi nekezhisardia ma, numa savorhe tume; vai amborim na savorhe, numa xantsi anda tumende.

⁵And if any one hath caused sorrow, he hath not caused sorrow to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all;

⁶Dosta sas kodole manusheske kai sas doshardo katar o mai but anda tumende.

⁶sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that [is] by the more part,

⁷Anda kodia akana trobul mai bini te iertin leske ai te zhutin les, saxke te na perel ande mai baro nekazo ai te rimolpe.

⁷so that, on the contrary, [it is] rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;

⁸Akana mangav tumendar, keren lesa vorta te sikaven leske ke tume drago leske.

⁸wherefore, I call upon you to confirm love to him,

⁹Eta, vi sostar ramosardem tumenge, manglemas te zumavav tume ai te dikhav, keren inker so mothav tumenge.

⁹for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient.

¹⁰Kana iertin vari kaske vari so kai shubisailo, i me iertiv leske. Ke kana iertiva te trobul te iertiv vari so, kerav kodia pala tumende angla Kristo,

¹⁰And to whom ye forgive anything — I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven [it], because of you — in the person of Christ — [I forgive it,]

¹¹saxke te na mekav le benges te niril pe amende; ke ame zhanas so mangel te kerel.

¹¹that we may not be over-reached by the Adversary, for of his devices we are not ignorant.

¹²Kana areslem ando Troas te mothav pai lashi viasta le Kristoski, arakhalem ke O Del phuterdia o drom te dav duma pa leste kotse.

¹²And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door to me having been opened in the Lord,

¹³Numa nas mange mishto ke chi arakhlem amare phrales o Titus. Anda kodia phendem le narodoske kai sas ando Troas te ashen Devlesa, ai gelemtar ande Maacedonia.

¹³I have not had rest to my spirit, on my not finding Titus my brother, but having taken leave of them, I went forth to Macedonia;

¹⁴Ame naisisarasle Devles! Kai del ame te nirisaras sagda le Kristosa ande soste godi. O Del kerel amensa buchi te das duma pa Kristo kai godi zhas sar iek duxi, kai laki sung xhal katar godi.

¹⁴and to God [are] thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is manifesting through us in every place,

¹⁵Ame sam le Devleske e duxi le Kristoski, mashkar kodola kai si skepime, ai mashkar kodola kai xasavon.

¹⁵because of Christ a sweet fragrance we are to God, in those being saved, and in those being lost;

¹⁶Kodolenge kai xasavon, si iek sung martiaki kai mudarel; ai kodolenge kai si skepime, si iek sung traioski kai del o traio. Ai kon sai kerel kasavatar diela?

¹⁶to the one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and for these things who is sufficient?

¹⁷Chi sam sar but aver, kai chinen ai bichinen E Vorba le Devleski; numa ke O Del tradia ame, das duma chachimasa angla leste, sar le slugi le Kristoske.

¹⁷for we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity — but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we do speak.
