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

Boasting is necessary, though it is not profitable; but 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 I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man 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 how such a man—whether in the body or apart 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 heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak.

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

On behalf of such a man I will boast; but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in regard to 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.

For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me. A Thorn in the Flesh

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.

Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself!

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

Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave 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.

And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in 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

Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

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.

I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, for in no respect was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though I am a nobody.

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

The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles.

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 treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

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.

Here for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I do not seek what is yours, but you; for children are not responsible to save up 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?

I will most gladly spend and be expended for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less?

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

But be that as it may, I did not burden you myself; nevertheless, crafty fellow that I am, I took you in by deceit.

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

Certainly I have not taken advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you, have I?

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 to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus did not take any advantage of you, did he? Did we not conduct ourselves in the same spirit and walk in the 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.

All this time you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. Actually, it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and all for your upbuilding, beloved.

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 afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you to be not what I wish and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be strife, jealousy, angry tempers, disputes, slanders, gossip, arrogance, disturbances;

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.

I am afraid that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over many of those who have sinned in the past and not repented of the impurity, immorality and sensuality which they have practiced.
