2 Korinthians 11
1 Me ya bi vun sur ni me niti inkbra ko ni he bi vunsur ni me.
O that ye were bearing with me a little of the folly, but ye also do bear with me:
2 Me tin ngun ni tu bi. Igun iri whu Rji ni tubi wa me yo yu ni yi ne mi Gran ni Lilon riri. me na yo yu ni gabatar ni friwa wu tsa tra ni Almasihu.
for I am zealous for you with zeal of God, for I did betroth you to one husband, a pure virgin, to present to Christ,
3 Me tin sisir ni tun bi wa wan a gur Hauwa'u ni ta da wunma. a ha naki ndu mrei bi ni kauce janji ni gre Almasihu.
and I fear, lest, as the serpent did beguile Eve in his subtilty, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that [is] in the Christ;
4 Na hi rin nita ye na krin dubun Yesu kanka ni wa kitini yi nitu blantrama bi kpa ruhu ri kan wa bi kpa ko bi kpa tra Rji latre ri kan na waki kpa. ki kpayeme wa biti ne kpebi ti a mlannayi.
for if, indeed, he who is coming doth preach another Jesus whom we did not preach, or another Spirit ye receive which ye did not receive, or other good news which ye did not accept — well were ye bearing [it],
5 Me na he no kogona ibrun bin ba yo ba ngazani nekunbi ndun Rji.
for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles,
6 Ko ba na tsrome na me tre, me na rasa horowa tsro na ko ta i gun rime ikpe ki lah ni yi wu.
and even if unlearned in word — yet not in knowledge, but in every thing we were made manifest in all things to you.
7 me ti la' tra wa me yo tumu ni si (kaskata) na gber yin? melah tre Rji ni yiwu menge.
The sin did I do — myself humbling that ye might be exalted, because freely the good news of God I did proclaim to you?
8 Me vun brun Ikisiya ni kpa kpe ba zo, ba niwu na ti chucu.
other assemblies I did rob, having taken wages, for your ministration;
9 Bi to wa me ha ni yi me toyi ni me bi wa mena lah ne mre vanyi wa baye ni makidoniya ba ha ndimu na me koge me zintunmu nikpa idimu niyi me yonza ni ti na yi
and being present with you, and having been in want, I was chargeable to no one, for my lack did the brethren supply — having come from Macedonia — and in everything burdenless to you I did keep myself, and will keep.
10 A janji Almasihu ha ni me na, sun ni gbanbi gbre sanmu ni me mame akaya.
The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting shall not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia;
11 A ngye? ni mena sunyi na Rji to
wherefore? because I do not love you? God hath known!
12 I kpe me ti me yonza, me ti naki me nhan to bi ba nsu to na kita kpen wa ba gbre ni nwu.
and what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also;
13 Irin Idin bi mazani babi tice bi ti ndun gyru. ba no kama kamar mazanni Almasihuna
for those such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,
14 Wa yi na kepn sisar ne mena ibrji ne no kamar na rju kamar mala'ika wa ni kpan.
and no wonder — for even the Adversary doth transform himself into a messenger of light;
15 Anaki ki kle a kpe wu mamaki na ni bi gra ba no kamani ba ba'ba gra bi ti ndindi bun, a kle ba ni ha ridimba nkpe wa bati
no great thing, then, if also his ministrants do transform themselves as ministrants of righteousness — whose end shall be according to their works.
16 Me karah lahi ndum rin yin zato me ruruma. Bita ti zato naki bi bame me irurume ni gbre sa fime.
Again I say, may no one think me to be a fool; and if otherwise, even as a fool receive me, that I also a little may boast.
17 Nikpe wa me lah ni gabagadi me na gbresa nitra kpe wa Baci kpanyena. me na me ti ikbra.
That which I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting;
18 Ndin bi ba bra ba gbresa ni tun kpa me me gbresa me.
since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast:
19 Bi grin ni bi shutun bi ti na bi ti kbra ni bin to (masuhikima).
for gladly do ye bear with the fools — being wise,
20 Bi vun sur ni ndi wa nibayi bi grah. idan a kbanyin sar na ti ndu ni yi ni tun ribatun ma, da, ba tuma nayi na wruyi ni takpa shi.
for ye bear, if any one is bringing you under bondage, if any one doth devour, if any one doth take away, if any one doth exalt himself, if any one on the face doth smite you;
21 Me lah ni yi wuki ji sha ki ha ni iso (weak) niti na bam. ko naki nda rin bu ni gbre sa me tra na me ti kbra ne gresame.
in reference to dishonour I speak, how that we were weak, and in whatever any one is bold — in foolishness I say [it] — I also am bold.
22 Ba Yahudawa? me ha na ki ba ha Israilawa? me ha naki ba mren Ibrahim? me ha naki.
Hebrews are they? I also! Israelites are they? I also! seed of Abraham are they? I also!
23 Ba gra Almasihu? me tra na (me na ha ni sormu na) me nan ba me ti ndun (Tukur) za ba wawu, me rin mikho wu tro ndi (kurkuku) za ko anh ba izee me ba lansor, shishinmu (hudura) kyu brabra.
ministrants of Christ are they? — as beside myself I speak — I more; in labours more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times;
24 Ni wo mre Yahudawa igun ton (sunbiy) ba zee me gbagba gun se' thra ni thewn (arba'in ba daya).
from Jews five times forty [stripes] save one I did receive;
25 Kun thra me kpa zee ni me ni kunkro inku rin ba tame ni tata. nkun thra me ti haderi Jirgin ma me ton cun ni kpa (dare da yini guda) ni me takpo ma tsutsuma ni min kpoma.
thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice was I shipwrecked, a night and a day in the deep I have passed;
26 Me ti yah tsar ni min hadari koguna, ne miha daribi ywen ni me hadari ndi ne hadari alumai min gbu ni me hadari min nji ni men hadari teku (tsotsoma) ko ta kpoma ni me mrevanyi bi tice.
journeyings many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from kindred, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brethren;
27 Me to tunmu ni mindu itukuru ni me sor wu kikle yah (ni me sor wuyah) ne min ti chun ba kurna, ni mi yun ni lah ma ni min bran vunsor min si ni gbren.
in labouriousness and painfulness, in watchings many times, in hunger and thirst, in fastings many times, in cold and nakedness;
28 Ni kogon kpe wa wu, nkpi ha ni tunmu ko ni ton rime don tamre mu nitun Ikilisiya wa wu.
apart from the things without — the crowding upon me that is daily — the care of all the assemblies.
29 A ha kwu-kpa wa ni ha kwu-kpa ni tun ba na” ba yo ha ni kbun za me na krina?
Who is infirm, and I am not infirm? who is stumbled, and I am not fired;
30 Me ta ni ha gangbe, me gangbe ni kpe wa kungremu (kasawata).
if to boast it behoveth [me], of the things of my infirmity I will boast;
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ — who is blessed to the ages — hath known that I do not lie! — (aiōn g165)
32 Ni da mascu Gwamna wa a he nime kbinci ni zama in chun Aritas a noba gban ngbu Damasku na fun wa wu.
In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me,
33 Ni ta do ni me sisen ba chunre ni kogon g'rlu gbu, me gbun gblu ni wo ba
and through a window in a rope basket I was let down, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.
