2 Corinthians 11
1 Would that ye could bear with me in a little foolishness: but indeed ye do bear with me.
yUyaM mamAjJAnatAM kSaNaM yAvat soDhum arhatha, ataH sA yuSmAbhiH sahyatAM|
2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I espoused you to one husband, that I might present you [as] a pure virgin to Christ.
Izvare mamAsaktatvAd ahaM yuSmAnadhi tape yasmAt satIM kanyAmiva yuSmAn ekasmin vare'rthataH khrISTe samarpayitum ahaM vAgdAnam akArSaM|
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ.
kintu sarpeNa svakhalatayA yadvad havA vaJcayAJcake tadvat khrISTaM prati satItvAd yuSmAkaM bhraMzaH sambhaviSyatIti bibhemi|
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or [if] ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different gospel, which ye did not accept, ye do well to bear with [him].
asmAbhiranAkhyApito'paraH kazcid yIzu ryadi kenacid AgantukenAkhyApyate yuSmAbhiH prAgalabdha AtmA vA yadi labhyate prAgagRhItaH susaMvAdo vA yadi gRhyate tarhi manye yUyaM samyak sahiSyadhve|
5 For I reckon that I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
kintu mukhyebhyaH preritebhyo'haM kenacit prakAreNa nyUno nAsmIti budhye|
6 But though [I be] rude in speech, yet [am I] not in knowledge; nay, in every way have we made [this] manifest unto you in all things.
mama vAkpaTutAyA nyUnatve satyapi jJAnasya nyUnatvaM nAsti kintu sarvvaviSaye vayaM yuSmadgocare prakAzAmahe|
7 Or did I commit a sin in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God for nought?
yuSmAkam unnatyai mayA namratAM svIkRtyezvarasya susaMvAdo vinA vetanaM yuSmAkaM madhye yad aghoSyata tena mayA kiM pApam akAri?
8 I robbed other churches, taking wages [of them] that I might minister unto you;
yuSmAkaM sevanAyAham anyasamitibhyo bhRti gRhlan dhanamapahRtavAn,
9 and when I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man; for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and [so] will I keep [myself].
yadA ca yuSmanmadhye'va'rtte tadA mamArthAbhAve jAte yuSmAkaM ko'pi mayA na pIDitaH; yato mama so'rthAbhAvo mAkidaniyAdezAd Agatai bhrAtRbhi nyavAryyata, itthamahaM kkApi viSaye yathA yuSmAsu bhAro na bhavAmi tathA mayAtmarakSA kRtA karttavyA ca|
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this glorying in the regions of Achaia.
khrISTasya satyatA yadi mayi tiSThati tarhi mamaiSA zlAghA nikhilAkhAyAdeze kenApi na rotsyate|
11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
etasya kAraNaM kiM? yuSmAsu mama prema nAstyetat kiM tatkAraNaM? tad Izvaro vetti|
12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
ye chidramanviSyanti te yat kimapi chidraM na labhante tadarthameva tat karmma mayA kriyate kAriSyate ca tasmAt te yena zlAghante tenAsmAkaM samAnA bhaviSyanti|
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ.
tAdRzA bhAktapreritAH pravaJcakAH kAravo bhUtvA khrISTasya preritAnAM vezaM dhArayanti|
14 And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light.
taccAzcaryyaM nahi; yataH svayaM zayatAnapi tejasvidUtasya vezaM dhArayati,
15 It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
tatastasya paricArakA api dharmmaparicArakANAM vezaM dhArayantItyadbhutaM nahi; kintu teSAM karmmANi yAdRzAni phalAnyapi tAdRzAni bhaviSyanti|
16 I say again, Let no man think me foolish; but if [ye do], yet as foolish receive me, that I also may glory a little.
ahaM puna rvadAmi ko'pi mAM nirbbodhaM na manyatAM kiJca yadyapi nirbbodho bhaveyaM tathApi yUyaM nirbbodhamiva mAmanugRhya kSaNaikaM yAvat mamAtmazlAghAm anujAnIta|
17 That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying.
etasyAH zlAghAyA nimittaM mayA yat kathitavyaM tat prabhunAdiSTeneva kathyate tannahi kintu nirbbodheneva|
18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
apare bahavaH zArIrikazlAghAM kurvvate tasmAd ahamapi zlAghiSye|
19 For ye bear with the foolish gladly, being wise [yourselves].
buddhimanto yUyaM sukhena nirbbodhAnAm AcAraM sahadhve|
20 For ye bear with a man, if he bringeth you into bondage, if he devoureth you, if he taketh you [captive], if he exalteth himself, if he smiteth you on the face.
ko'pi yadi yuSmAn dAsAn karoti yadi vA yuSmAkaM sarvvasvaM grasati yadi vA yuSmAn harati yadi vAtmAbhimAnI bhavati yadi vA yuSmAkaM kapolam Ahanti tarhi tadapi yUyaM sahadhve|
21 I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet whereinsoever any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
daurbbalyAd yuSmAbhiravamAnitA iva vayaM bhASAmahe, kintvaparasya kasyacid yena pragalbhatA jAyate tena mamApi pragalbhatA jAyata iti nirbbodheneva mayA vaktavyaM|
22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
te kim ibrilokAH? ahamapIbrI| te kim isrAyelIyAH? ahamapIsrAyelIyaH| te kim ibrAhImo vaMzAH? ahamapIbrAhImo vaMzaH|
23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I more; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths oft.
te kiM khrISTasya paricArakAH? ahaM tebhyo'pi tasya mahAparicArakaH; kintu nirbbodha iva bhASe, tebhyo'pyahaM bahuparizrame bahuprahAre bahuvAraM kArAyAM bahuvAraM prANanAzasaMzaye ca patitavAn|
24 Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one.
yihUdIyairahaM paJcakRtva UnacatvAriMzatprahArairAhatastrirvetrAghAtam ekakRtvaH prastarAghAtaJca praptavAn|
25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day have I been in the deep;
vAratrayaM potabhaJjanena kliSTo'ham agAdhasalile dinamekaM rAtrimekAJca yApitavAn|
26 [in] journeyings often, [in] perils of rivers, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils from [my] countrymen, [in] perils from the Gentiles, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren;
bahuvAraM yAtrAbhi rnadInAM saGkaTai rdasyUnAM saGkaTaiH svajAtIyAnAM saGkaTai rbhinnajAtIyAnAM saGkaTai rnagarasya saGkaTai rmarubhUmeH saGkaTai sAgarasya saGkaTai rbhAktabhrAtRNAM saGkaTaizca
27 [in] labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
parizramaklezAbhyAM vAraM vAraM jAgaraNena kSudhAtRSNAbhyAM bahuvAraM nirAhAreNa zItanagnatAbhyAJcAhaM kAlaM yApitavAn|
28 Besides those things that are without, there is that which presseth upon me daily, anxiety for all the churches.
tAdRzaM naimittikaM duHkhaM vinAhaM pratidinam Akulo bhavAmi sarvvAsAM samitInAM cintA ca mayi varttate|
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is caused to stumble, and I burn not?
yenAhaM na durbbalIbhavAmi tAdRzaM daurbbalyaM kaH pApnoti?
30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my weakness.
yadi mayA zlAghitavyaM tarhi svadurbbalatAmadhi zlAghiSye|
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed for evermore knoweth that I lie not. (aiōn g165)
mayA mRSAvAkyaM na kathyata iti nityaM prazaMsanIyo'smAkaM prabho ryIzukhrISTasya tAta Izvaro jAnAti| (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes in order to take me:
dammeSakanagare'ritArAjasya kAryyAdhyakSo mAM dharttum icchan yadA sainyaistad dammeSakanagaram arakSayat
33 and through a window was I let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
