Ibela Paulus pendahinna
1 Aku, Paulus, mindo man bandu, aku si ikataken kalak melemuk adi ngerana petala-tala ras kam, tapi pang merawa adi sangana pedauh-dauh. I bas gelar Kristus si melias dingen lemah lembut kupindo man bandu. 2 Adi reh pagi aku, ola pagi aku terpaksa merawa i lebe-lebendu; sabap tek aku maka pang nge aku merawa nandangi piga-piga kalak i bas kam si erpengakap maka kami nggeluh rikutken biak manusia si ndekah denga. 3 Tuhu maka kami manusia biasa nge, tapi labo kami erjuang rikutken biak manusia si ndekah. 4 Senjata si ipake kami biakna labo bali ras senjata si ipake kalak, tapi senjata Dibata si erkuasa, si ngasup ngeruntuhken benteng-benteng, e me kepantasen perukuren manusia. 5 Iruntuhken kami kerina tembok kesombongen si ipajekken guna ngambati manusia nandai Dibata. Itaban kami kerina perukuren manusia, jenari ibaba kami gelah erkemalangen man Kristus.
6 Janah adi kepatuhenndu enggo bulat tuhu-tuhu, kami enggo sikap guna ngukum kerina kinilapatuhen.
7 Nehenlah kai si lit i lebe-lebendu. Adi lit kalak erpengakap maka ia me suruh-suruhen Kristus, iukurkenna ka lah min maka kami pe suruh-suruhen Kristus ka nge bali ras ia. 8 Adi teridah maka meganjangsa aku ngerana kerna kuasa si ibereken Tuhan man kami -- si gunana pegegehi kam, labo ngeruntuhkenca -- labo pagi aku juru. 9 Ola iakapndu maka kupebiar-biar kam alu surat-suratku e. 10 Sabap lit si ngatakenca, “Surat-surat Paulus tegas dingen meser kal, tapi asum ia i tengah-tengahta, labo ia erdolat, janah carana ngerana pe labo terpake.”
11 Kalak si ngerana bage arus ietehna maka labo lit lainna ranan kami si isuratken kami ras perbahanen kami asum kami lit i tengah-tengahndu.
12 Tuhu, labo kami pang mpeseri dingen mbandingken diri kami ras kalak si mujiken bana man kalak si deban e. Dirina jine ipakena jadi sibar-sibarna janah ibanding-bandingkenna dirina sapih-sapih ia. Perbahanen si bage bodoh tuhu-tuhu! 13 Si imegahken kami labo daerah si la ersibar belangna, tapi rikutken daerah si enggo ibagi-bagiken Dibata man kami. I bas si e ikut pe kam. 14 Erkiteken kam pe bengket ku bas daerah si man dahin kami, labo kami ngelanggar batas sabap kami kap si perlebe ndahi kam maba Berita Si Meriah kerna Kristus. 15 Bage pe labo imegahken kami kerna pendahin kalak si deban si labo bengket ku bas lingkungen si enggo itetapken Dibata man kami. Tapi ngarap kami gelah kinitekenndu reh belinna, janah e erbahanca maka reh belinna pendahin kami i tengah-tengahndu, tapi tuhu la ndarat i bas daerah si enggo itetapken Dibata man kami.
16 Kenca bage maka banci iberitaken kami Berita Si Meriah ku daerah-daerah si terdauhen asa kam, sabap la ate kami ermegah kerna pendahin kalak si deban si enggo idahina i bas daerah e.
17 Bagi lit tersurat i bas Pustaka Si Badia, “Kalak si ermegah ate, megahlah akapna kerna Tuhan.” t 18 Sabap labo kalak si muji dirina si terbukti kalak si tutus, tapi si ipujiken Tuhan nge.
2 Corinthians 10
Paul’s Authority from the Lord
1 Now I, Paul, appeal to yout personallyt by the meekness and gentlenesst of Christ (I who am meekt when present amongt you, but am full of couraget toward you when away!) –2 now I ask that when I am present I may not have to be bold with the confidence that (I expect) I will dare to use against some who consider us to be behavingt according to human standards.t3 For though we livet as human beings,t we do not wage war according to human standards,t4 for the weapons of our warfare are not human weapons,t but are made powerful by Godt for tearing down strongholds.s We tear down argumentst5 and every arrogant obstaclet that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to make it obeyt Christ.6 We are also ready to punish every act of disobedience,t whenever your obedience is complete.7 You are looking at outward appearances.t If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should reflect on this again: Just as he himself belongs to Christ, so too do we.8 For if I boast somewhat more about our authority that the Lord gave ust for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of doing so.t9 I do not want to seem as though I am trying to terrify you with my letters,10 because some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is weakt and his speech is of no account.”t
11 Let such a person consider this: What we sayt by letters when we are absent, we also are in actions when we are present.
Paul’s Mission
12 For we would not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who recommend themselves. But when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.t13 But we will not boast beyond certain limits,t but will confine our boastingt according to the limits of the work to which God has appointed us,t that reaches even as far as you.14 For we were not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach as far as you, because we were the first to reach as far as you with the gospel about Christ.t15 Nor do we boast beyond certain limitst in the workt done by others, but we hopet that as your faith continues to grow, our work may be greatly expandedt among you according to our limits,t16 so that we may preach the gospel in the regions that lie beyond you, and not boast of work already done in another person’s area.17 But the one who boasts must boast in the Lord.ts
18 For it is not the person who commends himself who is approved, but the person the Lord commends.
