< 2 Corinthians 11 >

1 I hope you will bear with a little of my foolishness, but you are already doing that.
¡Kꞌo ta bꞌanom wi kiniqꞌiꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ, pune kon kinbꞌantajik!
2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
Kakꞌaxir ri wanimaꞌ iwumal iwe jetaq ri kubꞌan ri Dios, rumal cher kawaj xa rukꞌ jun kixkꞌuliꞌ wi, xaq xwi rukꞌ ri Cristo, rech jeriꞌ kixinjach cho ri Dios jetaq jun akꞌal ali.
3 I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.
Kinxiꞌj wibꞌ rumal rukꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ kakꞌexetaj ri ichomabꞌal kitzaq kanoq ri ijeqelem pa Cristo jetaq ri xkꞌulmataj rukꞌ ri Eva, xsubꞌutaj rumal ri kumatz.
4 For if someone comes and proclaims a Jesus other than the One we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit than the One you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it way too easily.
Rumal cher we kꞌo jun winaq ri kutzijoj chik jun Jesús ri man are ta ri qatzijom uj chiꞌwe, o kikꞌamawaꞌj chi jun uxlabꞌal ri man are ta ikꞌamawaꞌm o kutzijoj chi ne utz laj taq tzij ri man are ta qatzijom chiꞌwe sibꞌalaj utz kita ri kubꞌij chiꞌwe.
5 I consider myself in no way inferior to those “super-apostles.”
Kinchomaj kꞌut chi man sibꞌalaj nitzꞌ ta nuqꞌij chikiwach ri e nimaq taq taqoꞌn.
6 Although I am not a polished speaker, I am certainly not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every way possible.
Pune man qas ta kinkwinik kinchꞌawik, kꞌo wetaꞌmabꞌal. Iwetaꞌm waꞌ we riꞌ, rumal kꞌi mul qakꞌutum chiꞌwach pa ronojel ri qabꞌanom.
7 Was it a sin for me to humble myself in order to exalt you, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?
¿La xinmakun kꞌut rumal uyaꞌik iqꞌij are xintzijoj ri utz laj taq tzij chiꞌwe man kꞌo ta pwaq xinta choch?
8 I robbed other churches by accepting their support in order to serve you.
Qas tzij, xane nikꞌaj komontyox chik xintojowik rech xixinpatanij ix.
9 And when I was with you and in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have refrained from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.
Are xinkꞌojiꞌ iwukꞌ xaꞌjawataj jastaq we, man xinux ta jun eqaꞌn chiꞌwe, rumal cher ri aꞌlaxik ri xepe pa Macedonia xkiya ronojel ri xajawataj chwe. Man xwaj taj xkꞌaxir ikꞌuꞌx rumal we, xuqujeꞌ man kawaj taj chi kakꞌaxir na ikꞌuꞌx chwe.
10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.
Ri qas tzij rech ri Cristo kꞌo pa wanimaꞌ jeriꞌ man kꞌo ta jun ri kel je laꞌ pa ri tinimit Acaya kinuqꞌatej rech mat kinnimarisaj wibꞌ.
11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
¿Jas che jewaꞌ kinbꞌij? ¿La xa kꞌu rumal man kixinloqꞌaj taj? Ri Dios retaꞌm chi qas kixinloqꞌaj wi.
12 But I will keep on doing what I am doing, in order to undercut those who want an opportunity to be regarded as our equals in the things of which they boast.
Kinwilij kꞌu na ubꞌanik ri tajin kinbꞌano, rech jeriꞌ kinwesaj chike ri winaq ri nimal kakinaꞌo rumal cher kakibꞌij chi e junam qukꞌ, kakiya kiqꞌij rumal ri kakibꞌano.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
We winaq riꞌ xaq esal taq kiwach ri e taqoꞌn, eleqꞌomabꞌ taq ajchakibꞌ, kakipoꞌ kibꞌ chi e taqoꞌn rech ri Cristo.
14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
Man mayijabꞌal ta waꞌ ubꞌixik rumal cher ri Itzel kupoꞌ ribꞌ chi jun ángel rech tunal.
15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.
Rumal riꞌ man mayijabꞌal taj chi ri e patanijelabꞌ kakipoꞌ kibꞌ rech jer kebꞌantaj patanijelabꞌ rech sukꞌal. Kꞌisbꞌal kꞌu rech ronojel kakikꞌamawaꞌj na ri utojbꞌalil ri itzel taq kichak.
16 I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
Junmul chik kinbꞌij: Man kꞌo ta bꞌa jun kubꞌij chwe chi xa in kon, o pa juleꞌ taq tzij chik chinikꞌamawaꞌj pune in kon, rech jeriꞌ kinnaꞌ jubꞌiqꞌ nimal.
17 In this confident boasting of mine, I am not speaking as the Lord would, but as a fool.
Man are tajin kinbꞌij ri karaj ri Ajawxel, xane man rukꞌ ta etaꞌmabꞌal tajin kinbꞌij, xaq xwi kawaj kinya nuqꞌij chibꞌil wibꞌ.
18 Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I too will boast.
Rumal cher sibꞌalaj e kꞌi kakinimarisaj kibꞌ pa ri kityoꞌjal, ri in xuqujeꞌ je kinbꞌano.
19 For you gladly tolerate fools, since you are so wise.
Rumal cher ix, pune kꞌo iwetaꞌmabꞌal, kiꞌkochꞌ ri man kꞌo taj ketaꞌmabꞌal.
20 In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or exalts himself or strikes you in the face.
Kiꞌqiꞌ ri winaq, pune kixkibꞌan che kajchak, o kixkitijo, o kakikꞌam ne ri ijastaq, nimal kakinaꞌo, o kixkichꞌay chiꞌpalaj.
21 To my shame I concede that we were too weak for that! Speaking as a fool, however, I can match what anyone else dares to boast about.
Pune kinwesaj nukꞌixibꞌal, kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi sibꞌalaj ujbꞌaqꞌoꞌtinaq. We kakibꞌij ri winaq chi kekwin chubꞌanik ri jastaq, in xuqujeꞌ kinbꞌij chi kinkwinik kinbꞌan we jastaq riꞌ.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
¿La aꞌj hebreo we winaq riꞌ? In xuqujeꞌ in hebreo. ¿La aꞌj Israel we winaq riꞌ? In xuqujeꞌ in aj Israel. ¿La e rijaꞌl ri Abraham? In rijaꞌl ri Abraham xuqujeꞌ in.
23 Are they servants of Christ? I am speaking like I am out of my mind, but I am so much more: in harder labor, in more imprisonments, in worse beatings, in frequent danger of death.
¿La e patanijel kꞌut rech ri Cristo? Jer ta ne tajin kachꞌaw jun kon. In in kꞌo na chikiwach. Sibꞌalaj nim chak nubꞌanom chikiwach konojel, man kajilabꞌ taj ri mul inchꞌaytalik, in tzꞌapital kꞌi mul pa cheꞌ, sibꞌalaj kꞌi mul raj in kaminaq.
24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
Jobꞌ mul in raputalik, juwinaq bꞌelej lajuj kumal ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked. I spent a night and a day in the open sea.
Oxmul xinkichꞌay rukꞌ cheꞌ, junmul xinkibꞌan che abꞌaj, oxmul raj xinjiqꞌik rumal xtukin ri jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal puꞌwiꞌ jaꞌ chinuxeꞌ, xinwikꞌowisaj jun qꞌij rachiꞌl jun aqꞌabꞌ pa ri nimalaj plo.
26 In my frequent journeys, I have been in danger from rivers and from bandits, in danger from my countrymen and from the Gentiles, in danger in the city and in the country, in danger on the sea and among false brothers,
Kꞌi mul xinxiꞌj wibꞌ. Kꞌi mul raj xinjiqꞌ pa nimaꞌ, xinxiꞌj wibꞌ chike eleqꞌomabꞌ, xinkixibꞌij ri nuwinaq, xuqujeꞌ ri man e nuwinaq taj. Xinxibꞌix pa ri tinimit, xuqujeꞌ pa ri kꞌolibꞌal jawjeꞌ maj wi ja, xinxiꞌj wibꞌ pa ri plo, xuqujeꞌ xinxiꞌj wibꞌ are xinkꞌojiꞌk chikixoꞌl ri esal taq kiwach alaxik,
27 in labor and toil and often without sleep, in hunger and thirst and often without food, in cold and exposure.
Sibꞌalaj kꞌi chak xuqujeꞌ qꞌiꞌtajik nuriqom, kꞌi mul man in warinaq taj, nunaꞌom numik xuqujeꞌ chaqij chiꞌ, kꞌi mul man inwoꞌqinaq taj, nunaꞌom tew xuqujeꞌ kꞌo mul man xinriq ta watzꞌyaq.
28 Apart from these external trials, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.
Man xaq xwi ta riꞌ, qꞌij chi qꞌij kakꞌaxir wanimaꞌ rumal ke ri komontyox.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with grief?
¿La xaq xwi kꞌu ri ix kixyawajik? In xuqujeꞌ. ¿La man kꞌu kinyojtaj xuqujeꞌ in we kꞌo jun kabꞌan che chi kutopij raqan?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
We rajawaxik kinnaꞌ nimal, kinnaꞌ nimal rumal rech ri nubꞌaqꞌoꞌtik.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is forever worthy of praise, knows that I am not lying. (aiōn g165)
Ri Dios xuqujeꞌ Tataxel rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, ri tewchiꞌtal ri ubꞌiꞌ chibꞌe qꞌij saq, retaꞌm chi man bꞌanoj tzij taj ri kinbꞌano. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas secured the city of the Damascenes in order to arrest me.
Pa ri tinimit Damasco, ri nim taqanel Aretas xtaqanik rech kachajix ri tinimit kech ri aꞌj Damasco, rech jeriꞌ kinchapik rech kabꞌan kꞌax chwe.
33 But I was lowered in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his grasp.
Xa pa jun chakach chik xinqasax wi loq pa ri wentaꞌn rech ri tapya rech ri tinimit, rech jeriꞌ man xinqaj ta pa kiqꞌabꞌ.
