1 W aa inaan faano in kastoo aanay waxtar lahayn, laakiin waxaan gaadhi doonaa riyooyin iyo waxa Rabbigu muujiyo.

True, there is nothing to be gained by it, but to boast, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

2 W axaan garanayaa nin Masiix ku jira oo afar iyo toban sannadood ka hor kor loo qaaday ilaa samada saddexaad. Inuu jidhka ku jiray iyo inaanu jidhka ku jirin garan maayo, Ilaah baase garan.

I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows—was caught up to the third heaven.

3 O o waxaan garanayaa ninkaas, laakiin inuu jidhka ku jiray iyo inaanu jidhka ku jirin garan maayo, Ilaah baase garan.

And I know that this man—whether in the body or away from the body I do not know, God knows—

4 I saga kor baa loogu qaaday Firdooska, oo wuxuu maqlay erayo aan lagu hadlin oo aan nin loo idmin inuu ku hadlo.

Was caught up into paradise, and he heard utterances beyond the power of man to put into words, which man is not permitted to utter.

5 K aasoo kale xaggiisa waan ku faani doonaa, laakiin xaggayga kuma faani doono, itaaldarradayda mooyaane.

Of this same I will boast, but of myself (personally) I will not boast, except as regards my infirmities (my weaknesses).

6 W aayo, haddaan dooni lahaa inaan faano, doqon ma ahaan doono, waayo, runtaan ku hadli doonaa; laakiin waan iska celiyaa inaanu qofna ii malayn mid ka weyn wuxuu igu arko ama iga maqlo.

Should I desire to boast, I shall not be a witless braggart, for I shall be speaking the truth. But I abstain so that no one may form a higher estimate of me than what he sees in me or hears from me.

7 I naanan isu sarraysiin waxyaalaha lay muujiyey weynaantooda dheer aawadeed, waxaa lay siiyey wax jidhkayga muda oo ah mid Shayddaan uu soo diray inuu i kadeedo, si aanan isu sarraysiin.

And to keep me from being puffed up and too much elated by the exceeding greatness (preeminence) of these revelations, there was given me a thorn ( a splinter) in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to rack and buffet and harass me, to keep me from being excessively exalted.

8 W axaas aawadiis saddex goor ayaan Rabbiga ka baryay in waxaasi iga fogaado.

Three times I called upon the Lord and besought about this and begged that it might depart from me;

9 O o isagu wuxuu igu yidhi, Nimcadaydu way kugu filan tahay; maxaa yeelay, xooggaygu wuu ku dhan yahay itaaldarrada. Sidaa aawadeed anigoo faraxsan ayaan ku faanayaa itaaldarrooyinkayga in xoogga Masiixu igu soo dego.

But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!

10 S idaa aawadeed waxaan ku farxaa itaaldarrooyin iyo hadallo cay ah iyo baahiyo iyo silecyo iyo dhibaatooyin Masiix aawadiis, waayo, markaan itaal daranahay, ayaan xoog badnahay. Bawlos Faankiisii

So for the sake of Christ, I am well pleased and take pleasure in infirmities, insults, hardships, persecutions, perplexities and distresses; for when I am weak '> in human strength], then am I strong (able, powerful in divine strength).

11 D oqon baan noqday; idinkaase igu qasbay. Waxay ahayd inaad i ammaantaan, waayo, sinaba ugama aan liidan rasuulladii ugu wada waaweynaa, in kastoo aanan waxba ahayn.

Now I have been a fool! But you forced me to it, for I ought to have been '> saved the necessity and] commended by you. For I have not fallen short one bit or proved myself at all inferior to those superlative apostles, even if I am nothing (a nobody).

12 H ubaal rasuul calaamooyinkiis ayaa si dulqaad leh laydiinka dhex sameeyey xagga calaamooyin iyo yaabab iyo shuqullo xoog leh.

Indeed, the signs that indicate a apostle were performed among you fully and most patiently in miracles and wonders and mighty works.

13 M axaa idinka dhiman oo aad uga liidataan kiniisadaha kale, anigoo aan idin culaysin mooyaane? Xumaantan aawadeed iga raalli ahaada.

For in what respect were you put to a disadvantage in comparison with the rest of the churches, unless that I myself did not burden you ? Pardon me this injustice!

14 M arkan waa markii saddexaad oo aan diyaar u ahay inaan idiin imaado; oo idinma culaysin doono, maxaa yeelay, idinkaan idin doonayaa ee ma doonayo wixiinna; waayo, ma aha inay carruurtu waalidkood wax u kaydiso, laakiin waa inuu waalidku carruurta wax u kaydiyo.

Now for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not burden you, for it is not your that I want but you; for children are not duty bound to lay up store for their parents, but parents for their children.

15 A nna si farxad leh ayaan isu bixin, naftiinnaanan isu bixin. Haddii aan aad idiin jeclahay, ma si ka yar baa lay jecel yahay?

But I will most gladly spend and be utterly spent for your souls. If I love you exceedingly, am I to be loved the less?

16 H ase ahaatee, anigu idinma aan culaysin, laakiin khaa'in baan noqday oo sir baan idinku qabtay.

But though granting that I did not burden you I was crafty I cheated and got the better of you with my trickery.

17 M iyaan faa'iido ahaan wax idiinkaga qaatay kuwii aan idiin soo diray midkoodna?

Did I take advantage of you or make any money out of you through any of those whom I sent to you?

18 T iitos waan waaniyey, walaalkeenna waan la diray isagii. Tiitos miyuu faa'iido ahaan wax idiinkaga qaatay? Miyaannan isku ruux ku socon? Miyaannan isku tallaabooyin ku socon?

I urged Titus, and I sent the brother with. Did Titus overreach or take advantage of you ? Did he and I not act in the same spirit? Did we not same steps?

19 H aatan waxaad u malaynaysaan inaannu iska kiin daafacayno. Ilaah hortiisa waxaannu u hadlaynaa sida kuwo Masiix, oo gacaliyayaalow, wax kastaba waxaannu u samaynaa si aad u dhisantaan.

Have you been supposing that we have been defending ourselves and apologizing to you? in the sight and the presence of God in Christ (the Messiah) that we have been speaking, dearly beloved, and all in order to build you up.

20 W aayo, waxaan ka cabsanayaa in, kolkaan imaado, aan idinka waayo sidaan doonayo inaad ahaataan, idinna aad iga weydaan sidaad doonaysaan inaan ahaado, waaba intaasoo ay jiraan dirir, iyo masayr, iyo xanaaq, iyo iskala qaybqaybin, iyo cay, iyo xan, iyo qabweynaan, iyo rabshooyin;

For I am fearful that somehow or other I may come and find you not as I desire to find you, and that you may find me too not as you want to find me—that perhaps there may be factions (quarreling), jealousy, temper (wrath, intrigues, rivalry, divided loyalties), selfishness, whispering, gossip, arrogance (self-assertion), and disorder among you.

21 w aaba intaasoo kolkaan mar kale imaado uu Ilaahay hortiinna igu hoosaysiiyaa, oo aan u baroortaa kuwo badan oo hadda ka hor dembaabay, oo aan ka toobadkeenin wasakhnimadii iyo sinadii iyo nejisnimadii ay faleen.

that when I come again, my God may humiliate and humble me in your regard, and that I may have to sorrow over many of those who sinned before and have not repented of the impurity, sexual vice, and sensuality which they formerly practiced.
