The Second Letter Paul Write to the Corinthians

11 Even though I looking like foolish person to yor, I want yor to be patient with me. In fact, yor already patient with me. 2 I myself promise to give yor to the Christ to marry him, and I want for yor to be virgin when I give yor to him. Da the reason why I really care about yor the same way God care about yor. 3 But just how the snake lie to Eve and fool her, I scare da somebody will spoil your thinking and make yor to not be faithful and clean. But anybody who following the Christ mon be faithful and clean. 4 Because if somebody come to yor and preach about another Jesus da different from the one we can preach about, yor can accept them. Or if another spirit directing your mind da different from the one* da wor directing yor before, yor can accept it. Or if somebody preach about another good news da different from the one yor accept, yor can agree with the thing dem he say. 5 I not think anything na prove da yor apostle dem who can act like they too good, better pass me. 6 Even if I not know how to talk, I know about God. We na make it clear to yor in everything and in different-different ways.

7 Or I do any bad thing to bring myself down so da yor can get honor? I wor happy to preach the good news about God to yor, and I not beg yor for money. 8 I accept the things the other congregation dem give me so da I can serve yor. 9 But when I wor with yor, and I wor not having the thing dem I need, I not beg anybody for anything. And da because the brother dem da came from Mac·e·doʹni·a give me all the thing dem I need. Yes, I never beg any of yor for anything and I will never beg yor for anything. 10 So long I following Christ, nothing will stop me from boasting about this one all over A·chaʹia. 11 But why I will not accept anything from yor? Yor think da because I not love yor? God seh know I love yor.

12 Some people among yor can boast and say, they apostles just like us. But I will continue to do what I doing so da I can stop them from having any reason to boast. 13 This kindna men dem not real apostles. They can fool people by the thing dem they can do. And they can pretend to be apostles for Christ. 14 It not strange to me, because Satan hisself continue pretending to be good angel.* 15 So It not strange to us da his servant dem pretending to do the right thing. The thing da will happen to dem in the end will be the pay for what they do.

16 Let me tell yor again, nobody mon think say I foolish person. But even if yor thinking like da, then yor mon accept me to be foolish person, so myself too I can boast small. 17 Now-now, I not talking like somebody who following the Lord example, but I talking like foolish person who can boast and trust hisself. 18 Since plenty people can boast about thing dem in this world, myself too I will boast. 19 Since yor think say yor really get “sense,” yor can be happy to be patient with the foolish people. 20 In fact, yor can be patient with anybody who make yor slave, anybody who take yor property dem, anybody who take what yor get, anybody who make theirself boss man over yor, and anybody who put slap in your face.

21 It shameful for us to say this one, because some of yor feel da we not able to use our authority the right way.

Or if some people can’t feel shame to boast then I myself too I not shame to boast, even though some of yor say I foolish person. 22 Ehn they Hebrews? Myself I Hebrew. Ehn they Israelites? Myself I Israelite too. Ehn they Abraham children? Myself I Abraham son. 23 Ehn they Christ servant dem? I answer just like crazy man, I na show in different-different way da I servant for Christ more than them: I na do plenty work pass them. They na put me in jail plenty time, they na beat me plenty time, I na go through different-different situation dem da almost kill me. 24 The Jew dem flog me five times and each time they give me 39 lashes.* 25 Three times they beat me with stick, one time they chunk me with rocks, three times I wor in ship and it got destroy. I spend one day and one night on the sea, 26 I travel plenty time. When I traveling by river my life use to be in danger. My life use to be in danger because of arm robbers, my life use to be in danger because of my own people. The people dem from other nation use to put my life in danger, the people dem from the city use to put my life in danger. My life use to be in danger in the wilderness, when I traveling by sea, my life use to be in danger. My life wor in danger when I wor with the brother dem who can lie and pretend. 27 I really work hard and suffer. I put more effort to do hard work, plenty time I not sleep in the night, I use to be hungry and thirsty, plenty time I wor not having food. I use to feel cold and I wor not having plenty clothes to wear.

28 Beside all this other thing dem, something can really worry me every day, I can worry about all the congregation dem. 29 I can really feel sorry for the people dem who need help.* And it can really make me vex when somebody make other people to sin.

30 If I suppose to boast, I will boast in the thing dem da can show da I weak. 31 The God and Father for the Lord Jesus, the person who we suppose to praise forever, know da I not lying. 32 In Damascus, the governor who wor working under king A·reʹtas put soldier people to the gate for the city to arrest me. 33 But the brother dem put me in one basket and pass me through the window da wor on the city wall, and I run away from him.
