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

To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for 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 have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago -- whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God hath known -- such an one being caught away unto 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 have known such a man -- whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God hath known, --

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

that he was caught away to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.

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

Of such an one I will boast, and 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 if I may wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for truth I will say; but I forebear, lest any one in regard to me may think anything above what he doth see me, or doth hear anything of 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 that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch.

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

Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, 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, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on 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

wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses -- for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

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 -- boasting; ye -- ye did compel me; for I ought by you to have been commended, for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles -- even if I am nothing.

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

The signs, indeed, of the apostle were wrought among you in all patience, 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 there in which ye were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive 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.

Lo, a third time I am ready to come unto you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not yours, but you, for the children ought not for the parents to lay up, 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 most gladly will spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, more abundantly loving you, less I am loved.

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

And be it, I -- I did not burden you, but being crafty, with guile I did take you;

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

any one of those whom I have sent unto you -- by him did I take advantage of 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 entreated Titus, and did send with the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? in the same spirit did we not walk? -- did we not 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, think ye that to you we are making defence? before God in Christ do we speak; and the all things, beloved, for your up-building,

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, having come, not such as I wish I may find you, and I -- I may be found by you such as ye do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, evil-speakings, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,

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 again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may bewail many of those having sinned before, and not having reformed concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and lasciviousness, that they did practise.
