2 Jo-Korintho 11
1 Ageno ni ubiro bedo mangʼwon koda nikech adwaro wuoyo mofuwo matin, ma bende usebedo ka utimo.
I could wish that you would tolerate a little folly in me! But indeed you do tolerate me.
2 Nyiego omaka kodu ma en nyiek Nyasaye. Ne asingou ni dichwo achiel kende, ma en Kristo, mondo omi achiwu kaka nyako mangili ni en.
I am jealous over you with the jealousy of God. For I betrothed you to one husband, that I might present you to the Christ a pure bride.
3 To aluor ni kaka thuol nowuondo Hawa gi miriambone mariek, e kaka un bende inyalo wuondu mi uwe hero Kristo gi chunyu duto.
Yet I fear that it may turn out that, just as the Serpent by his craftiness deceived Eve, so your minds may have lost the loyalty and purity due from you to the Christ.
4 Nikech ka ngʼato obiro e dieru ma oyalonu Yesu mopogore gi mano mane wayalonu, kendo kata uyudo Roho machielo gi mano mane uyudo, kendo uyie gi Injili moro amora mopogore gi mane uyudo, kendo uchikone itu gimor,
For, if some new-comer is proclaiming a Jesus other than him whom we proclaimed, or if you are receiving a Spirit different from the Spirit which you received, or a Good News different from that which you welcomed, then you are marvellously tolerant!
5 to ok apar ni an chien ahinya moloyo “joote” moko ma uparo ni dongogo!
I do not regard myself as in any way inferior to the most eminent Apostles!
6 Nyalo bedo ni ok alony kuom wuoyo, to kata kamano rieko to an-go. Wasebedo ka waleronu wechegi kinde ka kinde.
Though I am no trained orator, yet I am not without knowledge; indeed we made this perfectly clear to you in every way.
7 Dipo nine ukwana jaketho nikech ne adwokora piny, mondo eka atingʼu malo, kane ayalonu Injili mar Nyasaye ma ok adwaro chudo koa kuomu?
Perhaps you say that I did wrong in humbling myself that you might be exalted — I mean because I told you God’s Good News without payment.
8 Ne akawo chudo e kanisa mondo atinugo mana ka gima amayogi.
I robbed other churches by taking pay from them, so that I might serve you!
9 Kendo kane atiyo e dieru, to ne ok amiyo ngʼato angʼata tingʼ mapek e kinde mane an gi dwaro moro amora, nikech owete moa Makedonia nokelona gik moko duto mag konyruok mane achando. Asetemo matek mondo kik amiu tingʼ mapek e yo moro amora, kendo pod abiro medo timo kamano.
And, when I was with you in need, I did not become a burden to any of you; for our Brothers, on coming from Macedonia, supplied my needs. I kept myself, and will keep myself from being an expense to you in any way.
10 Chutho, kaka an gi adiera mar Kristo, onge ngʼama biro mona pakora e gwenge mag Akaya.
As surely as I know anything of the Truth of Christ, this boast, as far as I am concerned, shall not be stopped in any part of Greece.
11 Nangʼo? Nikech ok aherou koso? Ooyo, kata Nyasaye bende ongʼeyo ni aherou.
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows that I do!
12 To abiro dhi nyime katimo gima atimoni mondo agengʼ joote mamoko mag miriambo madwaro duongʼ mondo nenre ni gitiyo tich machalre gi marwa.
What I am doing now I shall continue to do, that I may cut away the ground from under those who are wishing for some ground for attacking me, so that as regards the thing of which they boast they may appear in their true characters, just as we do.
13 Jogo ok gin joote madier. Gin joote mag miriambo, kendo giriambo kuom tich ma gitimo, ka giketore mondo gichal gi joote madier mag Kristo.
Men of this stamp are false apostles, treacherous workers, disguising themselves as Apostles of Christ!
14 To mano gima ok nyal bwogowa nikech kata Satan bende wuondore ni en malaika mar ler.
And no wonder; for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of Light.
15 Kuom mano wachni ok wendo kuomwa, ka jotich Satan bende oriedo mondo okwan kaka jotich mag tim makare. To e giko gibiro yudo kum mowinjore gi timbegi.
It is not surprising, therefore, if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of Righteousness. But their end will be in accordance with their actions.
16 Amedo wachonu ni kik ngʼato kawa ni afuwo. To ka uhero, to kawauru kaka ngʼama ofuwo, mondo an bende apakrae matin.
I say again — Let no one think me a fool! Yet, if you do, at least welcome me as you would a fool, that I, too may indulge in a little boasting.
17 Gima koro adwaro wachoni ok Ruoth ema oyiena mondo awachi, to awache e yor fuwo.
When I speak thus, I am not speaking as the Master would, but as a fool might, in boasting so confidently.
18 Nikech ji mathoth pakore kaka jopiny pakore, an bende weuru apakra matin.
As so many are boasting of earthly things, I, too, will boast.
19 Un uwegi ukwanoru kaka joma riek, to pod urwako mana joma ofuwo gi riekougo!
For all your cleverness, you tolerate fools willingly enough!
20 Chutho urwako koda ka joma lokou wasumbini mag-gi, kata makawo giu e yor mecho, kata ma gajou, kata ma tiyou githuon, kata ma diyou piny kendo thalo lembu!
You tolerate a man even when he enslaves you, when he plunders you, when he gets you into his power, when he puts on airs of superiority, when he strikes you in the face!
21 Ayie kawo wichkuot muketo kuomano; nikech wan ne ok wanyal timo gik ma jogo timo, nikech wanyap! To ka ngʼato nyalo hedhore mar pakore kuom gimoro amora; awuoyo kaka ngʼama ofuwo, to an bende anyalo pakora mana kaka gin.
I admit, to my shame, that we have been weak. But whatever the subject on which others are not afraid to boast — though it is foolish to say so — I am not afraid either!
22 Gipakore ni gin jo-Hibrania? An bende an ja-Hibrania. Gipakore ni gin jo-Israel? An bende an ja-Israel. Gipakore ni gin nyikwa Ibrahim? An bende an nyakwar Ibrahim.
Are they Hebrews? So am I! Are they Israelites? So am I! Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I!
23 Gipakore gi gin jotich Kristo? Ka awuoyo kamano, to achalo mana janeko. An awuon an jatich maber! Asetiyo matek; osetweya e od twech kuom kinde mangʼeny; osechwada; kendo asebedo machiegni gi tho moloyo ngʼato angʼata kuomgi.
Are they ‘Servants of Christ’? Though it is madness to talk like this, I am more so than they! I have had more of toil, more of imprisonment! I have been flogged times without number. I have been often at death’s door.
24 Jo-Yahudi ne ochwada kiboko piero adek gochiko nyadibich.
Five times I received at the hands of the Jews forty lashes, all but one.
25 Bende jo-Rumi nogoya gi ludhe nyadidek, kendo ne gichiela gi kite dichiel. Yie ne obarore koda e nam nyadidek, kendo chiengʼ moro ne ariyo e dier nam otieno godiechiengʼ.
Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. I have spent a whole day and night in the deep.
26 E wuodhena mathoth, aseneno masiche e aore mopongʼ, asethagora e lwet jomecho, e dier jo-Yahudi wetena kod joma ok jo-Yahudi. Masiche ne olwora e mier madongo, e thimbe, e aore, kendo e dier Jowete mawuondore.
My journeys have been many. I have been through dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in towns, dangers in the country, dangers on the sea, dangers among false Brothers.
27 Asetiyo matek gi lwetena, kendo asechandora malit, ka ok anindi kuom ndalo mangʼeny. Kech osechama, kendo riyo oseloya; kinde mathoth asebedo ka aonge gi chiemo moromo, bende asewuotho duk.
I have been through toil and hardship. I have passed many a sleepless night; I have endured hunger and thirst; I have often been without food; I have known cold and nakedness.
28 To ewi mago duto, tingʼ mapek ma an-go en paro kanisni duto.
And, not to speak of other things, there is my daily burden of anxiety about all the Churches.
29 Ka ngʼato nyap, to donge an bende adoko manyap kode? Koso ka ngʼato odonjo e richo, to donge litna?
Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led astray without my burning with indignation?
30 Ka ochuna ni nyaka apakra, to abiro pakora, kuom gik manyiso nyawona.
If I must boast, I will boast of things which show my weakness!
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus — he who is for ever blessed — knows that I am speaking the truth. (aiōn g165)
32 Kane an Damaski, jatelo manie bwo ruoth Aretas noketo jorit e ranga dala mar jo-Damaski mondo omaka.
When I was in Damascus, the Governor under King Aretas had the gates of that city guarded, so as to arrest me,
33 To ne atony, kane oketa ei osera, mi olora piny kakadho e otuchi manie kor ohinga.
but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and so escaped his hands.
