¹Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

¹ Ay, Bulos, ay ya Almasihu Yesu diya no Irikoy miila do. In da Timotiyos iri nya-izo, iri go ga Irikoy marga fo kaŋ go Korint kwaara, da hanantey kulu mo kaŋ yaŋ go Akaya laabo kulu ra.

²Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

² Gomni nda laakal kanay ma bara araŋ banda kaŋ yaŋ ga fun iri Baabo Irikoy da Rabbi Yesu Almasihu do.

³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;

³ Iri m'iri Rabbi Yesu Almasihu Irikoyo kaŋ ti a Baabo mo saabu. Nga ga ti Baabo kaŋ to da suuji, bine-gaabandiyaŋ kulu Irikoyo mo no.

⁴who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

⁴ A go g'iri biney gaabandi iri kankami kulu ra, hal iri ma du ka borey biney gaabandi kaŋ yaŋ go kankami dumi kulu ra. Iri m'a te mo da bine-gaabandiyaŋ kaŋ iri bumbey du Irikoy do.

⁵For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

⁵ Zama mate kaŋ cine Almasihu gurzuga go ga baa ka tonton iri gaa, yaadin mo no iri ga du bine-gaabi nda baayaŋ Almasihu do.

⁶But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

⁶ D'iri go kankami ra, a go araŋ bine-gaabandiyaŋ da faaba se no. Wala d'iri go ga du bine-gaabandiyaŋ, woodin mo go zama araŋ ma du bine-gaabi se no, kaŋ g'araŋ gaa araŋ ma suuru nda gurzuga din kaŋ iri mo go ga maa.

⁷Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort.

⁷ Beeja kaŋ iri gonda araŋ boŋ tabbat, za kaŋ iri ga bay mate kaŋ cine in d'araŋ go gurzugay ra care banda, yaadin mo no in d'araŋ du bine-gaabi care banda.

⁸For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

⁸ Zama iri si ba araŋ ma jaŋ ka bay, nya-izey, kankami kaŋ du iri Aziya ra. I n'iri jarandi gumo-gumo, hal a bisa iri gaabo, hal iri na laakal kaa baa iri fundey gaa.

⁹Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

⁹ Haciika, iri bumbey biney ra iri maa i na buuyaŋ ciiti dumbu iri se, hal iri ma si naanay iri boŋ gaa, amma iri ma de Irikoy gaa, nga kaŋ ga buukoy tunandi.

¹⁰who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver; on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;

¹⁰ A n'iri kaa kambe buuyaŋ laalo wo dumi gaa, a g'iri kaa kambe mo. Iri na beeje sinji a do a ga ye k'iri kaa kambe hala hõ,

¹¹you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

¹¹ za kaŋ araŋ mo go g'iri gaa d'araŋ ŋwaarayyaŋey, hala gomno kaŋ Irikoy n'iri no boro boobo adduwey sabbay se ma naŋ boro boobo ma saabuyaŋ te iri sabbay se.

¹²For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

¹² Zama iri darza haro neeya: iri bine lasaabo seeda ga ti iri n'iri goray te ndunnya ra, (sanku binde araŋ do haray), da hananyaŋ da cimi kaŋ fun Irikoy do. Iri man'a te da ndunnya wo laakal, amma Irikoy gomno do no iri n'a te.

¹³For we write no other things to you, than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end;

¹³ Zama iri si ga hantum araŋ se kala haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga hin ka caw da haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga faham d'a mo. Ay go ga beeje daŋ,

¹⁴as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

¹⁴ da mate kaŋ araŋ faham d'iri kayna-kayna, araŋ ga faham gumo-gumo, kaŋ iri no ga ti araŋ darza haro, danga mate kaŋ araŋ no ga ti iri waney Rabbi Yesu zaaro ra.

¹⁵In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit;

¹⁵ Naanayo din boŋ no, ay miila ay ma kaa araŋ do waato zama araŋ ma du gomni hinkanta.

¹⁶and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.

¹⁶ Ay miila ay ma kaa araŋ do ka gana ka bisa Masidoniya laabu. D'ay fun Masidoniya mo, ay ma ye ka kaa araŋ do, hal araŋ m'ay gaakasinay da hindoonay kaŋ ga kond'ay Yahudiya* laabu.

¹⁷When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”

¹⁷ To. Waato kaŋ ay go ga woodin miila, ay na bine hinka-hinka cabe no? Wala hayey din kaŋ ay go ga miila ay ma te, ay n'i miila danga ndunnya boroyaŋ no, hal i ma kaa ka gar oho-oho da hã'a-hã'a go ay do?

¹⁸But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”

¹⁸ Amma sanda mate kaŋ Irikoy ya naanaykoy no, iri sanno manti oho da hã'a no araŋ se.

¹⁹For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”

¹⁹ Zama Irikoy Izo, Almasihu Yesu, kaŋ boŋ iri nda Sila da Timotiyos waazu araŋ game ra, a manti oho da hã'a. Amma nga wo, oho no go a do.

²⁰For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen,” to the glory of God through us.

²⁰ Zama Irikoy alkawley kulu, a do no i ga ciya oho. Woodin sabbay se a do mo no iri ga ne «Amin» Irikoy darza se.

²¹Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;

²¹ Nga mo kaŋ goono g'iri tabbatandi araŋ banda Almasihu ra, nga kaŋ n'iri suuban mo, ga ti Irikoy.

²²who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

²² A n'iri kawaatimandi mo k'iri no nga Biya iri biney ra a ma ciya daymi kayandiyaŋ.

²³But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I didn’t come to Corinth to spare you.

²³ Amma Irikoy ga te ay se seeda, ay ze d'ay fundo ay mana kaa Korint jina zama ay ma du ka jalla araŋ gaa se.

²⁴Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

²⁴ Manti sanda iri gonda koytaray araŋ cimbeero boŋ no bo. Amma iri ya araŋ goykasinyaŋ no araŋ farhã se, zama cimbeeri ra no araŋ go ga kay.
