2 Corinthians 11
1 Woulde to God, yee coulde suffer a litle my foolishnes, and in deede, ye suffer me.
Ko taku e hiahia nei kia ata hanga mai koutou ki ahau, kia iti nei, i ahau e wairangi nei: ae ra, kia ata hanga mai ano ki ahau.
2 For I am ielous ouer you, with godly ielousie: for I haue prepared you for one husband, to present you as a pure virgine to Christ:
Nui atu hoki toku ngakau ki a koutou, he ngakau no te Atua: kua oti hoki koutou te taumau e ahau ma te tane kotahi, kia tapaea atu ai hei wahine kore he ki a te Karaiti.
3 But I feare least as the serpent beguiled Eue through his subtiltie, so your mindes shoulde be corrupt from the simplicitie that is in Christ.
E wehi ana ia ahau, kei pera me Iwi i whakawaia e te tinihanga o te nakahi, kei kumea atu o koutou whakaaro ki te he, kei mahue te tapatahi o te ngakau ki a te Karaiti.
4 For if he that commeth, preacheth another Iesus whome we haue not preached: or if yee receiue another spirite whome ye haue not receiued: either another Gospell, which yee haue not receiued, ye might well haue suffered him.
Ki te tae atu hoki te tangata, me te kauwhau i tetahi Ihu e rere ke ana i ta matou i kauwhau ai, ki te whiwhi ranei koutou i tetahi wairua ke atu i tena i whiwhi na koutou, ki tetahi rongopai ranei e rere ke ana i ta koutou i whakaae ai, e tika a na koutou kia ata hanga ki a ia.
5 Verely I suppose that I was not inferior to the very chiefe Apostles.
Ki ahau hoki kahore rawa ahau i hoki iho i nga tino apotoro.
6 And though I be rude in speaking, yet I am not so in knowledge, but among you wee haue beene made manifest to the vttermost, in all things.
Na, ahakoa tangata ware ahau kite korero, kahore ia ki te matauranga; heoi i nga mea katoa kua tino kitea tenei i roto i a koutou.
7 Haue I committed an offence, because I abased my selfe, that ye might be exalted, and because I preached to you ye Gospell of God freely?
I hara oti ahau i ahau i whakaiti ra i ahau kia kake ai koutou, i kauwhau utukore ra i te rongopai o te Atua ki a koutou?
8 I robbed other Churches, and tooke wages of them to doe you seruice.
I pahuatia e ahau era atu hahi, i tango utu ahau i a ratou kia minita ai ahau ki a koutou.
9 And when I was present with you, and had neede, I was not slouthfull to the hinderance of any man: for that which was lacking vnto me, the brethre which came from Macedonia, supplied, and in all thinges I kept and will keepe my selfe, that I should not be grieuous to you.
A i ahau i a koutou na, a i kore tetahi mea maku, kahore ahau i taimaha ki tetahi: na nga teina hoki, i to ratou haerenga mai i Makeronia, i whakawhiwhi ahau ki nga mea i kore i ahau: i nga mea katoa hoki i tiaki ahau i ahau kei taimaha iho ki a koutou; ina, ka tiaki pera ano ahau i ahau.
10 The trueth of Christ is in me, that this reioycing shall not be shut vp against me in the regions of Achaia.
I te mea kei ahau te pono o te Karaiti, e kore tenei whakamanamana aku e araia e tetahi i nga wahi o Akaia.
11 Wherefore? because I loue you not? God knoweth.
Na te aha? na te mea koia kahore oku aroha ki a koutou? e matau ana te Atua.
12 But what I doe, that will I doe: that I may cut away occasion from them which desire occasion, that they might be found like vnto vs in that wherein they reioyce.
Ko taku ia e mea nei, e meinga ano e ahau, kia motuhia atu ai e ahau te take a te hunga e hiahia ana ki te take; kia kitea ai ratou i runga i ta ratou e whakamanamana nei e rite tahi ana ano ki a matou nei.
13 For such false apostles are deceitfull workers, and transforme themselues into the Apostles of Christ.
He apotoro teka hoki nga pera, he kaimahi i te tinihanga, e whakaahua ana i a ratou kia rite ki nga apotoro a te Karaiti.
14 And no marueile: for Satan himselfe is transformed into an Angel of light.
A ehara i te mea whakamiharo rawa; ina hoki a Hatana, e whakaahua ke ana i a ia hei anahera mo te marama.
15 Therefore it is no great thing, though his ministers transforme themselues, as though they were the ministers of righteousnes, whose end shall be according to their workes.
Heoi ehara i te mea nui ki te whakaahua ke ano ana minita i a ratou kia rite ki nga minita o te tika; na, ko to ratou whakamutunga e rite ki a ratou mahi.
16 I say againe, Let no man thinke that I am foolish, or els take mee euen as a foole, that I also may boast my selfe a litle.
Me ki atu ano e ahau, Kaua tetahi e mea he wairangi ahau; a, ahakoa pena, heoi tahuri mai ki ahau, ki te wairangi, kia whakamanamana ai ano ahau, he mea iti nei.
17 That I speake, I speake it not after the Lord: but as it were foolishly, in this my great boasting.
Ko taku e korero nei, ehara i te korero i runga i ta te Ariki, engari me te mea i runga i te wairangi, i tenei whakamanamana ka kaha nei.
18 Seeing that many reioyce after the flesh, I will reioyce also.
Na, ka tokomaha nei e whakamanamana i runga i to te kikokiko, ka whakamanamana ano hoki ahau.
19 For ye suffer fooles gladly, because that yee are wise.
E pai ana hoki koutou, e ata hanga ana ki te hunga wairangi, he hunga whakaaro hoki koutou.
20 For ye suffer, euen if a man bring you into bondage, if a man deuoure you, if a man take your goods, if a man exalt himselfe, if a man smite you on the face.
Ka ata hanga hoki koutou ki te whakataurekareka tetahi i a koutou, ki te pau a koutou mea i tetahi, ki te tangohia e ia hei herehere, ki te whakakake ia, ki te pahiatia e ia to koutou mata.
21 I speake as concerning the reproche: as though that we had bene weake: but wherein any man is bold (I speake foolishly) I am bold also.
He korero whakaiti taku, ano he ngoikore matou. Na, ki te maia tetahi ki tetahi mea; he korero wairangi nei taku, ka maia ano ahau.
22 They are Hebrues, so am I: they are Israelites, so am I: they are the seede of Abraham, so am I:
He Hiperu ratou? ahau ano hoki. No Iharaira ratou? ahau ano hoki. He whanau ratou na Aperahama? pera ano hoki ahau.
23 They are the ministers of Christ (I speake as a foole) I am more: in labours more aboundant: in stripes aboue measure: in prison more plenteously: in death oft.
He minita ratou na te Karaiti? He korero porangi taku nei, tera atu ano toku; hira atu oku mauiuitanga, maha noa atu oku meatanga ki roto ki nga whare herehere, nui noa atu oku whiunga, maha atu oku mate.
24 Of the Iewes fiue times receiued I fourtie stripes saue one.
E rima nga wa i whiua ai ahau e nga Hurai, e wha tekau panga o te whiu, haunga te kotahi.
25 I was thrise beaten with roddes: I was once stoned: I suffered thrise shipwracke: night and day haue I bene in the deepe sea.
E toru oku whiunga ki te rakau, kotahi toku akinga ki te kohatu, tuatoru ahau ki te kaipuke pakaru, kotahi oku po, kotahi oku ra i te rire;
26 In iourneying I was often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of mine owne nation, in perils among the Gentiles, in perils in the citie, in perils in wildernes, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren,
I nga haereerenga maha, i nga oranga noatanga i nga awa, i nga oranga noatanga i nga kaipahua, i nga oranga noatanga i oku whanaunga, i nga oranga noatanga i nga tauiwi, i nga oranga noatanga i te pa, i nga oranga noatanga i te koraha, i nga ora nga noatanga i te moana, i nga oranga noatanga i nga teina teka;
27 In wearinesse and painefulnesse, in watching often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in colde and in nakednesse.
Mauiui ana, ngenge ana, he maha nga mataaratanga, nga matekaitanga, nga matewaitanga, he maha nga wa i nohopuku ai, i matao ai, i kore ai he kakahu.
28 Beside the thinges which are outwarde, I am combred dayly, and haue the care of all the Churches.
Hei tapiri mo nga mea o waho, ko te mea e pehi nei i ahau i tenei ra, i tenei ra, ko te manukanuka ki nga hahi katoa.
29 Who is weake, and I am not weake? who is offended, and I burne not?
Ko wai te ngoikore ana, a kahore ahau e ngoikore? ko wai kua tutuki te waewae, a kahore ahau e pawerawera?
30 If I must needes reioyce, I will reioyce of mine infirmities.
Ki te takoto te tikanga kia whakamanamana ahau, me whakamanamana ahau ki toku ngoikoretanga.
31 The God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which is blessed for euermore, knoweth that I lie not. (aiōn g165)
E matau ana te Atua, te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu, koia nei te whakapaingia ana ake tonu atu, kahore aku teka. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the gouernour of the people vnder King Aretas, layde watch in the citie of the Damascens, and would haue caught me.
I Ramahiku e tiakina ana e te kawana i raro i a Kingi Areta te pa o nga tangata o Ramahiku, he mea kia hopukina ai ahau:
33 But at a window was I let downe in a basket through the wall, and escaped his handes.
Heoi tukua iho ana ahau i roto i te kete, ra te matapihi, ra te taiepa kohatu, a mawhiti atu ana i roto i ona ringa.
