2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish that you would endure a small amount of my foolishness, so as to bear with me.
| ܐܫܬܘܦ ܕܝܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܩܠܝܠ ܕܐܡܠܠ ܦܟܝܗܐܝܬ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܘ ܠܝ |
2 For I am jealous toward you, with the jealousy of God. And I have espoused you to one husband, offering you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
| ܛܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܟܘܢ ܒܛܢܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܟܪܬܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܟܝܬܐ ܕܐܩܪܒ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ |
3 But I am afraid lest, as the serpent led astray Eve by his cleverness, so your minds might be corrupted and might fall away from the simplicity which is in Christ.
| ܕܚܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܛܥܝ ܚܘܝܐ ܠܚܘܐ ܒܢܟܝܠܘܬܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܬܚܒܠܘܢ ܪܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܦܫܝܛܘܬܐ ܕܠܘܬ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
4 For if anyone arrives preaching another Christ, one whom we have not preached; or if you receive another Spirit, one whom you have not received; or another Gospel, one which you have not been given: you might permit him to guide you.
| 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 |
5 For I consider that I have done nothing less than the great Apostles.
| ܪܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܒܨܪܬ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܒ ܡܝܬܪܝܢ |
6 For although I may be unskilled in speech, yet I am not so in knowledge. But, in all things, we have been made manifest to you.
| ܐܦܢ ܓܝܪ ܒܘܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܡܠܬܝ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܒܝܕܥܬܝ ܐܠܐ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܐܬܓܠܝܢ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ |
7 Or did I commit a sin by humbling myself so that you would be exalted? For I preached the Gospel of God to you freely.
| ܐܘ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܤܟܠܘ ܐܤܟܠܬ ܕܡܟܟܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܬܪܝܡܘܢ ܘܡܓܢ ܐܟܪܙܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܒܪܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
8 I have taken from other churches, receiving a stipend from them to the benefit of your ministry.
| ܘܥܕܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܚܠܨܬ ܘܢܤܒܬ ܢܦܩܬܐ ܠܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ |
9 And when I was with you and in need, I was burdensome to no one. For the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied whatever was lacking to me. And in all things, I have kept myself, and I will keep myself, from being burdensome to you.
| 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 |
10 The truth of Christ is in me, and so this glorying shall not be broken away from me in the regions of Achaia.
| ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܝ ܫܪܪܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܗܢܐ ܫܘܒܗܪܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܒܛܠ ܒܝ ܒܐܬܪܘܬܐ ܕܐܟܐܝܐ |
11 Why so? Is it because I do not love you? God knows I do.
| ܠܡܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܚܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܝܕܥ |
12 But what I am doing, I will continue to do, so that I may take away an opportunity from those who desire an opportunity by which they may glory, so as to be considered to be like us.
| ܐܠܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܐܦܤܘܩ ܗܘ ܥܠܬܗܘܢ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܥܝܢ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܒܗܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܫܬܒܗܪܝܢ ܢܫܬܟܚܘܢ ܐܟܘܬܢ |
13 For false apostles, such as these deceitful workers, are presenting themselves as if they were Apostles of Christ.
| ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܓܠܐ ܘܦܥܠܐ ܢܟܝܠܐ ܘܡܕܡܝܢ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܠܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ |
14 And no wonder, for even Satan presents himself as if he were an Angel of light.
| ܘܠܝܬ ܠܡܬܕܡܪܘ ܒܗܕܐ ܐܢ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܤܛܢܐ ܡܬܕܡܐ ܒܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܢܘܗܪܐ |
15 Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers present themselves as if they were ministers of justice, for their end shall be according to their works.
| ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܪܒܐ ܨܒܘܬܐ ܐܢ ܐܦ ܡܫܡܫܢܘܗܝ ܡܬܕܡܝܢ ܒܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܪܬܗܘܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܝܗܘܢ |
16 I say again. And let no one consider me to be foolish. Or, at least, accept me as if I were foolish, so that I also may glory a small amount.
| ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܤܒܪ ܥܠܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܤܟܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܐܦܢ ܐܝܟ ܤܟܠܐ ܩܒܠܘܢܝ ܕܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܐܫܬܒܗܪ |
17 What I am saying is not said according to God, but as if in foolishness, in this matter of glorying.
| ܡܕܡ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܪܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܦܟܝܗܘܬܐ ܒܗܕܐ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܫܘܒܗܪܐ |
18 Since so many glory according to the flesh, I will glory also.
| ܡܛܠ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܫܬܒܗܪܝܢ ܒܒܤܪܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܫܬܒܗܪ |
19 For you freely accept the foolish, though you yourselves claim to be wise.
| ܡܢܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܠܡܫܬܡܥܘ ܠܚܤܝܪܝ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܟܕ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ |
20 For you permit it when someone guides you into servitude, even if he devours you, even if he takes from you, even if he is extolled, even if he strikes you repeatedly on the face.
| ܘܡܬܕܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܢ ܕܡܫܥܒܕ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܐܟܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܢܤܒ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܡܬܪܝܡ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܡܚܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ |
21 I speak according to disgrace, as if we had been weak in this regard. In this matter, (I speak in foolishness) if anyone dares, I dare also.
| ܐܝܟ ܕܒܨܥܪܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܚܢܢ ܡܚܝܠܝܢܢ ܗܘ ܒܚܤܝܪܘܬ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܡܡܪܚ ܐܢܫ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܡܡܪܚ ܐܢܐ |
22 They are Hebrews; so am I. They are Israelites; so am I. They are the offspring of Abraham; so am I.
| ܐܢ ܥܒܪܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܢ ܐܝܤܪܠܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܢ ܙܪܥܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ |
23 They are the ministers of Christ (I speak as if I were less wise); more so am I: with many more labors, with numerous imprisonments, with wounds beyond measure, with frequent mortifications.
| ܐܢ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܚܤܝܪܘܬ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܒܠܐܘܬܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܡܚܘܬܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܐܤܘܪܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܡܘܬܐ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܢ |
24 On five occasions, I received forty stripes, less one, from the Jews.
| ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܚܡܫ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܚܤܝܪ ܚܕܐ ܒܠܥܬ |
25 Three times, I was beaten with rods. One time, I was stoned. Three times, I was shipwrecked. For a night and a day, I was in the depths of the sea.
| ܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܒܫܒܛܐ ܐܬܢܓܕܬ ܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܐܬܪܓܡܬ ܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܢܘܘܓܐ ܐܝܡܡܐ ܘܠܠܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܒܝܡܐ ܗܘܝܬ |
26 I have made frequent journeys, through dangerous waters, in danger of robbers, in danger from my own nation, in danger from the Gentiles, in danger in the city, in danger in the wilderness, in danger in the sea, in danger from false brothers,
| ܒܐܘܪܚܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܕܢܗܪܘܬܐ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܕܓܝܤܐ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܕܡܢ ܛܘܗܡܝ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܕܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܗܘܝܬ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܗܘܝܬ ܒܚܘܪܒܐ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܒܝܡܐ ܒܩܢܕܝܢܘܤ ܕܡܢ ܐܚܐ ܕܓܠܐ |
27 with hardships and difficulties, with much vigilance, in hunger and thirst, with frequent fasts, in cold and nakedness,
| ܒܥܡܠܐ ܘܒܠܐܘܬܐ ܒܫܗܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܒܟܦܢܐ ܘܒܨܗܝܐ ܒܨܘܡܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܒܥܪܝܐ ܘܒܥܪܛܠܝܘܬܐ |
28 and, in addition to these things, which are external: there is my daily earnestness and solicitude for all the churches.
| ܤܛܪ ܡܢ ܝܬܝܪܬܐ ܘܟܢܘܫܝܐ ܕܥܠܝ ܕܟܠܝܘܡ ܘܨܦܬܝ ܕܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܥܕܬܐ |
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is scandalized, and I am not being burned?
| ܡܢܘ ܡܬܟܪܗ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܬܟܪܗ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܘ ܡܬܟܫܠ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܝܩܕ ܐܢܐ |
30 If it is necessary to glory, I will glory of the things that concern my weaknesses.
| ܐܢ ܠܡܫܬܒܗܪܘ ܘܠܐ ܒܟܘܪܗܢܝ ܐܫܬܒܗܪ |
31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. (aiōn g165)
| ܝܕܥ ܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܒܪܟܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܟܕܒ ܐܢܐ (aiōn g165) |
32 At Damascus, the governor of the nation under Aretas the king, watched over the city of the Damascenes, so as to apprehend me.
| ܒܕܪܡܤܘܩ ܪܒ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܪܛܘܤ ܡܠܟܐ ܢܛܪ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܕܪܡܘܤܩܝܐ ܠܡܐܚܕܢܝ |
33 And, through a window, I was let down along the wall in a basket; and so I escaped his hands.
| ܘܡܢ ܟܘܬܐ ܒܤܪܝܓܬܐ ܫܒܘܢܝ ܡܢ ܫܘܪܐ ܘܐܬܦܠܛܬ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܘܗܝ |
