ܒ-ܩܘܪ̈ܝܢܬܝܐ 11

1 ܐܫܬܘܦ ܕܝܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܩܠܝܠ ܕܐܡܠܠ ܦܟܝܗܐܝܬ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܘ ܠܝ

Would that ye would bear with me [in] a little folly; but indeed bear with me.

2 ܛܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܟܘܢ ܒܛܢܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܟܪܬܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܟܝܬܐ ܕܐܩܪܒ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ

For I am jealous as to you with a jealousy [which is] of God; for I have espoused you unto one man, to present [you] a chaste virgin to Christ.

3 ܕܚܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܛܥܝ ܚܘܝܐ ܠܚܘܐ ܒܢܟܝܠܘܬܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܬܚܒܠܘܢ ܪܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܦܫܝܛܘܬܐ ܕܠܘܬ ܡܫܝܚܐ

But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craft, [so] your thoughts should be corrupted from simplicity as to the Christ.

4 ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܟܪܙ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܚܢܢ ܠܐ ܐܟܪܙܢ ܐܘ ܪܘܚܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܢܤܒܬܘܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܤܒܬܘܢ ܐܘ ܤܒܪܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ

For if indeed he that comes preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or ye get a different Spirit, which ye have not got, or a different glad tidings, which ye have not received, ye might well bear with [it].

5 ܪܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܒܨܪܬ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܒ ܡܝܬܪܝܢ

For I reckon that in nothing I am behind those who are in surpassing degree apostles.

6 ܐܦܢ ܓܝܪ ܒܘܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܡܠܬܝ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܒܝܕܥܬܝ ܐܠܐ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܐܬܓܠܝܢ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ

But if [I am] a simple person in speech, yet not in knowledge, but in everything making [the truth] manifest in all things to you.

7 ܐܘ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܤܟܠܘ ܐܤܟܠܬ ܕܡܟܟܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܬܪܝܡܘܢ ܘܡܓܢ ܐܟܪܙܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܒܪܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ

Have I committed sin, abasing myself in order that ye might be exalted, because I gratuitously announced to you the glad tidings of God?

8 ܘܥܕܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܚܠܨܬ ܘܢܤܒܬ ܢܦܩܬܐ ܠܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ

I spoiled other assemblies, receiving hire for ministry towards you.

9 ܘܟܕ ܐܬܝܬ ܨܐܕܝܟܘܢ ܘܚܤܪ ܠܝ ܠܐ ܝܩܪܬ ܥܠ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܤܢܝܩܘܬܝ ܓܝܪ ܡܠܝܘ ܐܚܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܡܢ ܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܘܒܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܢܛܪܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܘܢܛܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܩܪ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ

And being present with you and lacking, I did not lazily burden any one, (for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied what I lacked, ) and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will keep myself.

10 ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܝ ܫܪܪܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܗܢܐ ܫܘܒܗܪܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܒܛܠ ܒܝ ܒܐܬܪܘܬܐ ܕܐܟܐܝܐ

[The] truth of Christ is in me that this boasting shall not be stopped as to me in the regions of Achaia.

11 ܠܡܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܚܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܝܕܥ

Why? because I do not love you? God knows.

12 ܐܠܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܐܦܤܘܩ ܗܘ ܥܠܬܗܘܢ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܥܝܢ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܒܗܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܫܬܒܗܪܝܢ ܢܫܬܟܚܘܢ ܐܟܘܬܢ

But what I do, I will also do, that I may cut off the opportunity of those wishing [for] an opportunity, that wherein they boast they may be found even as we.

13 ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܓܠܐ ܘܦܥܠܐ ܢܟܝܠܐ ܘܡܕܡܝܢ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܠܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ

For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.

14 ܘܠܝܬ ܠܡܬܕܡܪܘ ܒܗܕܐ ܐܢ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܤܛܢܐ ܡܬܕܡܐ ܒܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܢܘܗܪܐ

And [it is] not wonderful, for Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

15 ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܪܒܐ ܨܒܘܬܐ ܐܢ ܐܦ ܡܫܡܫܢܘܗܝ ܡܬܕܡܝܢ ܒܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܪܬܗܘܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܝܗܘܢ

It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

16 ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܤܒܪ ܥܠܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܤܟܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܐܦܢ ܐܝܟ ܤܟܠܐ ܩܒܠܘܢܝ ܕܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܐܫܬܒܗܪ

Again I say, Let not any one think me to be a fool; but if otherwise, receive me then even as a fool, that I also may boast myself some little.

17 ܡܕܡ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܪܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܦܟܝܗܘܬܐ ܒܗܕܐ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܫܘܒܗܪܐ

What I speak I do not speak according to [the] Lord, but as in folly, in this confidence of boasting.

18 ܡܛܠ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܫܬܒܗܪܝܢ ܒܒܤܪܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܫܬܒܗܪ

Since many boast according to flesh, I also will boast.

19 ܡܢܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܠܡܫܬܡܥܘ ܠܚܤܝܪܝ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܟܕ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ

For ye bear fools readily, being wise.

20 ܘܡܬܕܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܢ ܕܡܫܥܒܕ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܐܟܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܢܤܒ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܡܬܪܝܡ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܡܚܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ

For ye bear if any one bring you into bondage, if any one devour [you], if any one get [your money], if any one exalt himself, if any one beat you on the face.

21 ܐܝܟ ܕܒܨܥܪܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܚܢܢ ܡܚܝܠܝܢܢ ܗܘ ܒܚܤܝܪܘܬ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܡܡܪܚ ܐܢܫ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܡܡܪܚ ܐܢܐ

I speak as to dishonour, as though we had been weak; but wherein any one is daring, (I speak in folly, ) I also am daring.

22 ܐܢ ܥܒܪܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܢ ܐܝܤܪܠܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܢ ܙܪܥܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ

Are they Hebrews? I also. Are they Israelites? I also. Are they seed of Abraham? I also.

23 ܐܢ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܚܤܝܪܘܬ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܒܠܐܘܬܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܡܚܘܬܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܐܤܘܪܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܡܘܬܐ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܢ

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as being beside myself) I above measure [so]; in labours exceedingly abundant, in stripes to excess, in prisons exceedingly abundant, in deaths oft.

24 ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܚܡܫ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܚܤܝܪ ܚܕܐ ܒܠܥܬ

From the Jews five times have I received forty [stripes], save one.

25 ܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܒܫܒܛܐ ܐܬܢܓܕܬ ܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܐܬܪܓܡܬ ܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܢܘܘܓܐ ܐܝܡܡܐ ܘܠܠܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܒܝܡܐ ܗܘܝܬ

Thrice have I been scourged, once I have been stoned, three times I have suffered shipwreck, a night and day I passed in the deep:

26 ܒܐܘܪܚܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܕܢܗܪܘܬܐ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܕܓܝܤܐ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܕܡܢ ܛܘܗܡܝ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܕܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܗܘܝܬ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܗܘܝܬ ܒܚܘܪܒܐ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܒܝܡܐ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܕܡܢ ܐܚܐ ܕܓܠܐ

in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from [my own] race, in perils from [the] nations, in perils in [the] city, in perils in [the] desert, in perils on [the] sea, in perils among false brethren;

27 ܒܥܡܠܐ ܘܒܠܐܘܬܐ ܒܫܗܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܒܟܦܢܐ ܘܒܨܗܝܐ ܒܨܘܡܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܒܥܪܝܐ ܘܒܥܪܛܠܝܘܬܐ

in labour and toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

28 ܤܛܪ ܡܢ ܝܬܝܪܬܐ ܘܟܢܘܫܝܐ ܕܥܠܝ ܕܟܠܝܘܡ ܘܨܦܬܝ ܕܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܥܕܬܐ

Besides those things that are without, the crowd [of cares] pressing on me daily, the burden of all the assemblies.

29 ܡܢܘ ܡܬܟܪܗ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܬܟܪܗ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܘ ܡܬܟܫܠ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܝܩܕ ܐܢܐ

Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is stumbled, and I burn not?

30 ܐܢ ܠܡܫܬܒܗܪܘ ܘܠܐ ܒܟܘܪܗܢܝ ܐܫܬܒܗܪ

If it is needful to boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity.

31 ܝܕܥ ܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܒܪܟܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܟܕܒ ܐܢܐ (aiōn g165)

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows — he who is blessed for ever — that I do not lie. (aiōn g165)

32 ܒܕܪܡܤܘܩ ܪܒ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܪܛܘܤ ܡܠܟܐ ܢܛܪ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܕܪܡܘܤܩܝܐ ܠܡܐܚܕܢܝ

In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes shut up, wishing to take me;

33 ܘܡܢ ܟܘܬܐ ܒܤܪܝܓܬܐ ܫܒܘܢܝ ܡܢ ܫܘܪܐ ܘܐܬܦܠܛܬ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܘܗܝ

and through a window in a basket I was let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
