¹Wae lau, aku' Paulus tohe'i-e, ria pomperapia' -ku hi koi' ompi'. Ria tauna hi retu to mpo'uli' hewa toi: "Ane ngkai kalaa-nai Paulus-e, ngkerepa' lia moni sura-na, hampa ane hi nyanyoa-tai, mempou' lia-i." Jadi', hante nono to dingki' pai' hante nono to mo'olu, hewa kadingki' nono-na pai' kamo'olu nono-na Kristus,

¹But I myself, Paul, entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of the Christ, who, as to appearance, [when present] [am] mean among you, but absent am bold towards you;

²kuperapi' mpu'u ompi', bona neo' -pi ria to mposapuaka kuasa-ku, bona ane rata-apa mpai' hi retu, uma-pi mingki' ngkerepa' lolita-ku! Apa' ria-ra hi retu to mpo'uli' po'ingku-kai hewa po'ingku tauna to uma mpo'incai Alata'ala. Wae-pi, popea! Ane rata-a-damo, ra'epe moto mpai' kangkerepa' lolita-ku!

²but I beseech that present I may not be bold with the confidence with which I think to be daring towards some who think of us as walking according to flesh.

⁴Kai' -kaiwo, manusia' -wadi-kai. Tapi' ane mpo'ewa-kai tauna to mposapuaka-kai, ki'ewa-ra hante karohoa to ngkai Alata'ala. Po'ingku-kai uma hewa tauna to uma mpo'incai Alata'ala, uma wo'o kipake' kapantea manusia' -wadi. Kipake' karohoa to ngkai Alata'ala. Kai' ma'ala rarapai' -ki tantara to mporongka bente bali'. Batua-na, hante karohoa to ngkai Alata'ala

³For walking in flesh, we do not war according to flesh.

⁵kipakule' mpodagi-ra to mpohono' tudui' to makono, kipakule' mpo'ewa-ra to molangko nono-ra pai' to mpolawa' doo bona neo' -ra mpo'incai Alata'ala. Hante karohoa to ngkai Alata'ala, kibalii' nono-ra to mesapuaka, pai' kikeni-ra mengkoru hi Kristus.

⁴For the arms of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but powerful according to God to [the] overthrow of strongholds;

⁶Jadi', ane monoto-damo pengkoru-ni hi kai', sadia moto-makai mpohuku' -ra to mesapuaka-pidi.

⁵overthrowing reasonings and every high thing that lifts itself up against the knowledge of God, and leading captive every thought into the obedience of the Christ;

⁷Petonoi-koi napa to nihilo moto! Ane ria-ra hi retu to mpo'uli' kahira' -na bagia-na Kristus, agina rapakanoto nono-ra, kana rapangaku' kabagia-na Kristus wo'o-ka-kaiwo hibalia hante hira'.

⁶and having in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience shall have been fulfilled.

⁸Nau' ba kana kuliu mpai' kotoa-na mpo'une' woto-ku moto, aga bate uma kupoka'ea'. Apa' to ku'une' -ki woto-ku toi-e, kuasa to nawai' -ka Pue' bona mporohoi pepangala' -ni, uma mpokero pepangala' -ni.

⁷Do ye look at what concerns appearance? If any one has confidence in himself that he is of Christ, let him think this again in himself, that even as he [is] of Christ, so also [are] we.

⁹Jadi', popea-mi-hana karata-ku mpai', bona neo' mpai' ria to mpo'uli' me'ekahi-a-wadi hante sura-ku to karapo'.

⁸For and if I should boast even somewhat more abundantly of our authority, which the Lord has given [to us] for building up and not for your overthrowing, I shall not be put to shame;

¹⁰Apa' ria-ra hi retu to mpotuntui' -a, ra'uli' hewa toi: "Ane hi rala sura-na, karapo' -damo lolita-na pai' moso' paresa' -na, hampa ane hi rehe'i-i dohe-ta, mengkoru-imi pai' uma na'incai mololita!"

⁹that I may not seem as if I was frightening you by letters:

¹¹Jadi', apa' oo rahi lolita-rae, uli' -raka retu hewa toi: hewa kakarapo' lolita-kai to hi rala sura-kai, wae wo'o mpai' kakarapo' -kai ane rata-pakai mpai' hi retu.

¹⁰because his letters, he says, [are] weighty and strong, but his presence in the body weak, and his speech naught.

¹²Uma mpu'u-kai daho' mpotuku' kehi-ra to mpopeliu tuwu' -ra tetura ria. Uma-kai hibalia hante hira'. Hira', himpau mome'une' moto-ramo, ra'uli' lompe' -ra ntuku' poncilo-ra moto. Uma mowo kawojo-ra tetu-e!

¹¹Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by letters [when] absent, such also present in deed.

¹³Kai' -kaina uma hewa tetu. Ane ki'une' woto-kai, uma mpoliu kotoa-na. Ane ki'une' woto-kai, kilolita muntu' pobago to nabagi-kakai Alata'ala. Pai' koi' wo'o-e ompi' tepesua' hi rala pobago-kai, apa' Alata'ala mposuro-kai mpokeni Kareba Lompe' rata hi ngata-ni.

¹²For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves; but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not intelligent.

¹⁴Jadi', ane kiparesai' -koi ompi', uma-kai mpoliu kotoa-na. Ane ke uma-kai ria rata hi ngata-ni mpokeni Kareba Lompe' -e, ke uma ria huraa-kai mpoparesai' -koi. Tapi' ria mpu'u huraa-kai mpoparesai' -koi, apa' rata mpu'u-kai hi ngata-ni mpokeni Kareba Lompe'.

¹³Now *we* will not boast out of measure, but according to the measure of the rule which the God of measure has apportioned to us, to reach to you also.

¹⁵Ria wo'o-ra tauna to bohe nono-ra, to mpololita kalompe' wua' pobago-ra, ntaa' wua' pobago doo-di. Kai', uma kibabehi hewa tetu. Uma-kai mpo'une' woto-kai mpololita pobago to hi mali-na ngkai pobago to nawai' -kakai Alata'ala. Aga kisarumaka ompi', ane tetampai karoho pepangala' -ni, tetampai wo'o kabohe pobago-kai hi laintongo' -ni,

¹⁴For we do not, as not reaching to you, overstretch ourselves, (for we have come to you also in the glad tidings of the Christ;)

¹⁶duu' -na tetampai wo'o kawela' pobagoa-kai. Apa' doko' -kai mpokeni Kareba Lompe' hilou hi ngata-ngata to meliu kalaa-na ngkai koi'. Uma-kai dota mpokeni Kareba Lompe' hi tauna to mpolia' mpo'epe-ramo Kareba Lompe'. Nee-neo' mpai' bohe nono-kai mpololita wua' pobago-kai, ntaa' mobago-kai hi tinahi doo-di.

¹⁵not boasting out of measure in other people's labours, but having hope, your faith increasing, to be enlarged amongst you, according to our rule, yet more abundantly

¹⁷Jadi', hewa to te'uki' hi rala Buku Tomoroli' owi: "Hema to doko' bohe nono-ra, kana mpomobohe-ra napa to nababehi Pue'."

¹⁶to announce the glad tidings to that [which is] beyond you, not to be boasting in another's rule of things made ready to hand.

¹⁸Apa' ane ta'une' woto-ta moto, uma ta'incai ba natarima-ta Pue' ba uma-di. Tapi' ane Pue' mpo'une' -ta, monoa' ta'inca kanatarima-ta.

¹⁷But he that boasts, let him boast in the Lord.

¹⁸For not *he* that commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
