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

It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come 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 whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one 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 such a man—whether in the body or out of 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.

how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

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

Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.

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 though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me. The 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.

And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.

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

Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times 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.

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest 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

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Signs of an Apostle

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 a fool in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing.

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

Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds.

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

For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong! Love for the Church

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 be burdensome to you; for I do not seek yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the 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?

And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.

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. Nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you by cunning!

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

Did I take advantage of you by 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 sent our brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not 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.

Again, do you think that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ. But we do all things, beloved, for your edification.

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 fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults;

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.

lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned before and have not repented of the uncleanness, fornication, and lewdness which they have practiced.
