¹Aniga qudhayda oo Bawlos ah waxaan idinku baryayaa qabownimada iyo raxmadda Masiixa, anigoo is-hoosaysiiya markaan dhexdiinna joogo, laakiin xaggiinna geesi ku ah markaan idinka maqnahay.

¹Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ; I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

²Laakiin waxaan idinka baryayaa inaanan anigu markaan joogo geesi ku ahaan hubaashaas aan u malaynayo inaan geesi ku ahaado xagga kuwa nagu tirinaya inaannu sida jidhka ku soconno.

²Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.

³Maxaa yeelay, in kastoo aannu jidhka ku soconno, sida jidhka uma dagaallanno,

³For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;

⁴waayo, hubka dagaalkayagu ma aha xagga jidhka, laakiin xoog bay leeyihiin Ilaah hortiisa in qalcado lagu dumiyo.

⁴for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,

⁵Waxaannu baabbi'innaa murannada, iyo wax kasta oo sarreeya oo aqoonta Ilaah iska sarraysiiya, oo fikir kasta maxbuus baannu ka dhignaa, si uu Masiix u addeeco,

⁵throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;

⁶annagoo u diyaar ah inaannu ka aarsanno caasinimo oo dhan markii ay addeeciddiinnu kaamil noqoto.

⁶and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience will be made full.

⁷Waxaad eegaysaan waxa idin hor yaal. Haddii qof uun isku hubo inuu ka mid yahay kuwa Masiix, midkaasi mar kale isaga qudhiisu ha ka fiirsado in, siduu isagu uga mid yahay kuwa Masiix, aannu annaguna uga mid nahay.

⁷Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ’s, so also we are Christ’s.

⁸Waayo, in kastoo aan si badan ugu faanayo amarkayaga uu Rabbigu noo siiyey inaannu idinku dhisno ee aanu noo siin inaannu idinku duminno, weliba layma ceebayn doono.

⁸For though I should boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down) I will not be disappointed,

⁹Tan waxaan u idhi inaanan u ekaan sidii anigoo warqadahayga idinku cabsiinaya.

⁹that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.

¹⁰Waayo, waxay yidhaahdaan, Warqadihiisu culays iyo xoog bay leeyihiin, laakiin joogidda jidhkiisu way tabardaran tahay, oo hadalkiisana waa la fududaystaa.

¹⁰For, “His letters,” they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”

¹¹Kaasoo kale ha ogaado in sidaannu xagga hadalka warqadaha ku nahay markaannu maqan nahay, aannu xagga falimaha ku nahay markaannu joogno.

¹¹Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.

¹²Waayo, kuma dhacno inaannu isku tirinno ama isu ekaysiinno kuwa is-ammaana. Laakiin iyaga qudhooda oo isku qiyaasaya qudhooda oo isu ekaysiinaya qudhooda waa garaadlaawayaal.

¹²For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.

¹³Isu faanin mayno si qiyaastayada dhaafsiisan, laakiin sida ay tahay qiyaasta Ilaah noo qaybiyey inay qiyaas ahaato, si aannu idiin soo gaadhno.

¹³But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.

¹⁴Waayo, annaga qudhayadu si dhaafsiisan isugu kala bixin mayno sidii annagoo aan idin soo gaadhin; waayo, xataa idinka ayaannu idiinla nimid injiilka Masiix,

¹⁴For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,

¹⁵annagoo aan si dhaafsiisan uga faanayn hawlihii dadka kale, laakiin rajo u leh intuu rumaysadkiinnu korayo inaannu aad iyo aad ugu weynaan doonno dhexdiinna sida soohdintayada ah,

¹⁵not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,

¹⁶si aannu injiilka ugu wacdinno meelaha idinka shisheeya oo aanan ku faanin waxa laga diyaariyey qof kale soohdintiisa.

¹⁶so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.

¹⁷Kii faanaa, Rabbiga ha ku faano.Ma aha ka qudhiisa ammaana ka loo bogaa, laakiin waa ka uu Rabbigu ammaano.

¹⁷But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.” Jeremiah 9:24

¹⁸Ma aha ka qudhiisa ammaana ka loo bogaa, laakiin waa ka uu Rabbigu ammaano.

¹⁸For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
