1Jadi' ompi' -ompi', kuperapi' bona niwai' -a-kuwo loga mpo'une' woto-ku moto kampa' hampai'. Apa' hewa to mengkatiwojo-a tohe'i-e, aga kuperapi' bona mosabara-koi ulu mpo'epe lolita-ku.
1I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
2Moroe-a tohe'i-e mpokaroe pangkeni tetura ria to doko' mpo'ago-koi ngkai aku'. Aga roe-ku tohe'i, roe to ntuku' konoa Alata'ala. Apa' aku' -mi to lomo' -na mpotudui' -koi mepangala' hi Kristus-e. Konoa-ku, bona tida-koi mepangala' hi Kristus. Koi' ma'ala rarapai' -ki toronaa to mokamae' hante hadua kabilasa. Kamae' -ni toe, Kristus.
2For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
3Aga koro' -a toi-e, nee-neo' mpai' ria to mpobagiu-koi alaa-na uma-koi tida mepangala' hi Kristus hante karoli' -roli' nono-ni. Hewa Hawa owi nasori ule hante lolita-na to mo'olu, wae wo'o ria to doko' mposori-koi mpotuku' tudui' to mosisala hante pepangala' -ni hi Kristus.
3But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4Rata tauna hi retu to mpotudui' -koi mpotuku' Yesus, tapi' tudui' -ra uma hibalia hante napa to kitudui' -kokoi. Aga nau' wae, mosabara lau-dakoi mpo'epe tudui' -ra! Goe' lau-dakoi mpotarima inoha' to mosisala hante Inoha' Tomoroli' to mpolia' nitarima-mi! Goe' lau-dakoi mpotarima kareba to mosisala hante Kareba Lompe' to mpolia' nipangala' -mi!
4For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different “good news”, which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.
5Jadi', bangku' suro to mpomobohe hanga' -ra moto tetura ria nipe'epei lolita-ra, kusarumaka bate mosabara wo'o-koi mpe'epei lolita-ku toi, apa' uma-a tepatu'ai ngkai hira'.
5For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
6Apa' nau' uma rahi ku'incai mololita, aga bela-a tauna to wojo-e'. Ku'inca tudui' to makono. Ni'epe pai' nihilo moto-mi toe hi butu nyala gau' -kai dohe-ni.
6But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
7Nto'u kampokeni-ku Kareba Lompe' hi koi' wengi, uma-koi kupomperapii' gaji' -ku nau' ba hangkedi'. Kupakadingki' tuwu' -ku, mobago-a hante pale-ku moto, bona koi' ompi' tehore ngkai jeko'. Ha kuposala' ompi', uma-a mperapi' gaji' -kue?
7Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God’s Good News free of charge?
8Bula-ku hi ngata-ni wengi, to Kristen to hi ngata ntani' -na lau-di to mpakatui-a doi. Ma'ala-mi ta'uli' hira' to morugi, bona ma'ala-a mobago mpokeni Kareba Lompe' hi koi'.
8I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
9Hangkani ria kakuraa' -ku nto'u toe, aga uma-a merapi' hi koi'. Apa' rata-ra ompi' to ngkai tana' Makedonia mpokeni doi to mpohonoi' kakuraa' -ku. Kujagai lompe' bona uma-a mperapii' -koi nto'u toe, bona neo' mpakasusa' -koi. Pai' bate hewa toe oa' mpai' pobabehi-ku, uma kupomperapii' -koi.
9When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
10Mololita-a hi rehe'i hi rala hanga' Kristus. Hewa kamakono-na to na'uli' Kristus, wae wo'o napa to ku'uli' hi rehe'i bate makono. Bohe nono-ku apa' uma-a mperapi' gaji' hi koi' ba hi hema-hema to hi retu lou hi tana' Akhaya. Kabohe nono-ku toi bate uma kubalii'.
10As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11Napa pai' mololita hewa toe-a? Ha ni'uli' -koina uma-a mpoka'ahi' -koi ompi'? Alata'ala moto mpo'inca kama'ahi' -ku.
11Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.
12Jadi', napa to kubabehi toi, bate uma kubahakai. Bate uma-a merapi' gaji' hi koi', apa' pangkeni to molangko nono-ra tetura lou ntora mperapi' gaji' -ra pai' ntora mpo'une' woto-ra moto. Aga aku', oja' -a-kuna, bona neo' mpai' ra'uli' pobago-ra hira' hibalia hante pobago-kai kai'.
12But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we.
13Tauna to hewa tetura lou, suro to boa'. Mobago-ra hi laintongo' -ni, ntani' hewa suro Kristus mpu'u-ra, ntaa' topebagiu-radi!
13For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.
14Aga uma wo'o takehelei kehi-ra toe, apa' Magau' Anudaa' wo'o-hawo mengkatibali' hewa mala'eka to ngkeni kabajaa.
14And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
15Jadi' uma wo'o-hawo tapokakonce ane topobago-na Magau' Anudaa' mpowunii' gau' -ra to dada'a, ntani' hewa topobago to mpotuku' konoa Alata'ala. Aga ka'omea-na mpai', bate mporata-ra hiwili to hintotoa hante gau' -ra.
15It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
16Jadi', hewa to ku'uli' we'i, nau' hewa to mengkatiwojo-a toi-e, palogai-a-kuwo ulu mpo'une' woto-ku hampai'. Neo' ba ni'uli' towojo mpu'u-a, aga ane ria mpu'u-koi to mpo'uli' wojo-a, pelele' -ama mpo'une' woto-ku kampa' hampai'.
16I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
17Kututura hawe'ea to ku'une' -ki woto-ku. Aga bela Pue' to mpohubui-a mololita hewa toi. Mololita-a hewa towojo, mpo'une' woto-ku moto toi-e.
17That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
18Gati wori' -di to mpo'une' woto-ra moto pai' mpotutura pobago to rababehi hante karohoa-ra moto-e, wae wo'o-kuwo aku', mpo'une' -a woto-ku.
18Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
19Apa' hiloa-nale, nipokagoe' moto tauna to wojo, apa' ni'uli' pante-ko-koina!
19For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
20Ane ria pangkeni to mpobatua-koi, nitarima moto-ra. Ane ria to mpobagiu-koi pai' mpe'ihii-koi, ane ria to mpomolangko nono-ra pai' -ra mpohopo' -koi, nipengkatarii lau-di-koina.
20For you bear with a man, if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, if he strikes you on the face.
21Ha ni'uli' -koina kana me'ea' -a, apa' uma-kai daho' mpotuku' gau' -ra tetura-e? Tapi' ane daho' -ra mpo'une' woto-ra moto, mengkadaho' wo'o-a-kuwo mpo'une' woto-ku. (Kiwoi-e', mololita hewa towojo-a toi-e.)
21I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet however any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
22Ra'uli' pangkeni tetura lou, to Yahudi-ra, ra'uli' muli Israel pai' muli Abraham-ra. Wae wo'o-kuwo aku'! To Yahudi-a, muli Israel pai' muli Abraham wo'o-a-kuwo.
22Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I.
23Ra'uli' -rana, topobago Kristus-ra. Hangkedia' -nami aku', meliu tena-a ngkai hira'! (Mololita-a tohe'i-e, hewa to uma-apa monoto.) Meliu pobago-ku ngkai pobago-ra hira'. Wori' ngkani-a ratarungku', meliu ngkai hira'! Raweba' mperegea-a, meliu ngkai hira'! Wori' ngkani-a neo' mate.
23Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I am more so; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often.
24Lima ngkani-ama rahuku' to Yahudi: raweba' -a tolu mpulu' sio mela.
24Five times from the Jews I received forty stripes minus one.
25Tolu ngkani-a rahuku' to Roma: raweba' -a hante lua'. Hangkani wo'o-a radulu tauna rapana' -a hante watu doko' mpatehi-a. Tolu ngkani kapal to kuhawi' matala hi rala tahi'. Hangkani-a nangko hi lolo tahi' hamengia ha'eoa.
25Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.
26Rala pomakoa' -ku wori' ngkani-a mporata silaka. Ria ue mowo'. Ria toperampaki. Rabalinai' to Yahudi-a. Rabalinai' -a to bela-ra to Yahudi. Mporata-a silaka hi rala ngata. Mporata-a silaka hi mali ngata. Mporata-a silaka hi lolo tahi'. Mporata-a silaka ngkai tauna to mpo'uli' ompi' hampepangalaa' -ku moto-ra, ntaa' bela-di!
26I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers;
27Hi rala pobago to kupobago-ki Pue', mobago huduwuku-ku pai' mobago hudu pakulea' -ku. Wori' ngkani uma-a tepoleta', uma-a teponginu, uma-a tepongkoni'. Wori' ngkani-a mo'oro', molengi' pai' uma hono' pohea-ku.
27in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
28Ntani' -na ngkai hawe'ea toe, motomo wo'o kinolo-ku butu eo-na, mpopekiri to Kristen hi butu ngata.
28Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily, anxiety for all the assemblies.
29Ane ria ompi' hampepangalaa' -ku to susa' apa' lente pepangala' -ra, susa' wo'o-kuwo nono-ku. Ane ria to monawu' hi rala jeko', peda' wo'o-kuwo nono-ku.
29Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’t burn with indignation?
30Ane kana mpo'une' -a woto-ku, ku'une' woto-ku mpotutura hawe'ea kalentea-ku.
30If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
31Hawe'ea to ku'uli' -e we'i, makono omea, uma-a boa'. Alata'ala Tuama-na Pue' Yesus sabi' -ku! Une' -imi duu' kahae-hae-na!
31The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed forevermore, knows that I don’t lie.
32Nto'u-ku hi ngata Damsyik, gubernur to hi une' Raja Aretas doko' mpopatehi-a. Nahubui tantara-na mpojaga wobo' ngata bona ma'ala-a rahoko'.
32In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the city of the Damascenes desiring to arrest me.
33Aga doo-ku mpotulungi-a. Ra'ulu-a hi rala karanci ntara hameha' wulou' wala, pai' -a tebahaka.
33Through a window I was let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
