2 Corinthians 11
1 I would that you bear with me a little in my folly: yes indeed you do bear with me.
yUyaM mamAj nAnatAM kShaNaM yAvat soDhum arhatha, ataH sA yuShmAbhiH sahyatAM|
2 For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God: for I espoused you to one husband, to present you a pure virgin to Christ;
Ishvare mamAsaktatvAd ahaM yuShmAnadhi tape yasmAt satIM kanyAmiva yuShmAn ekasmin vare. arthataH khrIShTe samarpayitum ahaM vAgdAnam akArShaM|
3 but I fear, lest, as the serpent beguiled Eve by his craftiness, your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity which is in Christ.
kintu sarpeNa svakhalatayA yadvad havA va nchayA nchake tadvat khrIShTaM prati satItvAd yuShmAkaM bhraMshaH sambhaviShyatIti bibhemi|
4 For if indeed one coming preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or you receive another spirit, which you did not receive, or another gospel which you did not receive, well do you bear with him.
asmAbhiranAkhyApito. aparaH kashchid yIshu ryadi kenachid AgantukenAkhyApyate yuShmAbhiH prAgalabdha AtmA vA yadi labhyate prAgagR^ihItaH susaMvAdo vA yadi gR^ihyate tarhi manye yUyaM samyak sahiShyadhve|
5 For I consider that I am not inferior to the chief of the apostles.
kintu mukhyebhyaH preritebhyo. ahaM kenachit prakAreNa nyUno nAsmIti budhye|
6 If indeed rude in speech, but not in knowledge; but in every thing making manifest unto you in all things.
mama vAkpaTutAyA nyUnatve satyapi j nAnasya nyUnatvaM nAsti kintu sarvvaviShaye vayaM yuShmadgochare prakAshAmahe|
7 Did I commit sin humbling myself that you may be exalted, because I preached unto you the gospel of God gratuitously?
yuShmAkam unnatyai mayA namratAM svIkR^ityeshvarasya susaMvAdo vinA vetanaM yuShmAkaM madhye yad aghoShyata tena mayA kiM pApam akAri?
8 I robbed other churches, having received support for your ministry, and being present with you and being destitute, I burdened no one;
yuShmAkaM sevanAyAham anyasamitibhyo bhR^iti gR^ihlan dhanamapahR^itavAn,
9 for the brethren, having come from Macedonia, supplied my deficiency; and in everything I rendered myself not burdensome to you, and will so render.
yadA cha yuShmanmadhye. ava. artte tadA mamArthAbhAve jAte yuShmAkaM ko. api mayA na pIDitaH; yato mama so. arthAbhAvo mAkidaniyAdeshAd Agatai bhrAtR^ibhi nyavAryyata, itthamahaM kkApi viShaye yathA yuShmAsu bhAro na bhavAmi tathA mayAtmarakShA kR^itA karttavyA cha|
10 The truth of Christ is in me, that this glorying shall not cease unto me in the regions of Achaia.
khrIShTasya satyatA yadi mayi tiShThati tarhi mamaiShA shlAghA nikhilAkhAyAdeshe kenApi na rotsyate|
11 Why? because I do not love you with divine love? God knows.
etasya kAraNaM kiM? yuShmAsu mama prema nAstyetat kiM tatkAraNaM? tad Ishvaro vetti|
12 But what I am doing, I indeed will do, in order that I may cut off occasion from those wishing occasion, in order that in whatsoever they may glory, they may be found even as we are.
ye ChidramanviShyanti te yat kimapi ChidraM na labhante tadarthameva tat karmma mayA kriyate kAriShyate cha tasmAt te yena shlAghante tenAsmAkaM samAnA bhaviShyanti|
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
tAdR^ishA bhAktapreritAH prava nchakAH kAravo bhUtvA khrIShTasya preritAnAM veshaM dhArayanti|
14 And no wonder; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
tachchAshcharyyaM nahi; yataH svayaM shayatAnapi tejasvidUtasya veshaM dhArayati,
15 Then it is no great wonder if his ministers are transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose, end shall be according to their works.
tatastasya parichArakA api dharmmaparichArakANAM veshaM dhArayantItyadbhutaM nahi; kintu teShAM karmmANi yAdR^ishAni phalAnyapi tAdR^ishAni bhaviShyanti|
16 Again I say, Let no one consider me to be a fool; but if not, receive me as a fool, in order that I may indeed glory some little.
ahaM puna rvadAmi ko. api mAM nirbbodhaM na manyatAM ki ncha yadyapi nirbbodho bhaveyaM tathApi yUyaM nirbbodhamiva mAmanugR^ihya kShaNaikaM yAvat mamAtmashlAghAm anujAnIta|
17 What I say, I am not saying according to the Lord, but as it were in folly, in this confidence of glorying.
etasyAH shlAghAyA nimittaM mayA yat kathitavyaM tat prabhunAdiShTeneva kathyate tannahi kintu nirbbodheneva|
18 Since many glory in the flesh, I will glory also.
apare bahavaH shArIrikashlAghAM kurvvate tasmAd ahamapi shlAghiShye|
19 For cheerfully do you, being wise, bear with the foolish:
buddhimanto yUyaM sukhena nirbbodhAnAm AchAraM sahadhve|
20 for you bear with them, if any one enslaves you, if any one devours you, if any one captures you, if any one is exalted against you, if any one smites you in the face.
ko. api yadi yuShmAn dAsAn karoti yadi vA yuShmAkaM sarvvasvaM grasati yadi vA yuShmAn harati yadi vAtmAbhimAnI bhavati yadi vA yuShmAkaM kapolam Ahanti tarhi tadapi yUyaM sahadhve|
21 I speak according to disparagement, as that we are weak; but in whatsoever any one is bold, (I speak it in folly, ) I am bold also.
daurbbalyAd yuShmAbhiravamAnitA iva vayaM bhAShAmahe, kintvaparasya kasyachid yena pragalbhatA jAyate tena mamApi pragalbhatA jAyata iti nirbbodheneva mayA vaktavyaM|
22 Are they Hebrews? I am also. Are they Israelites? I am also. Are they the seed of Abraham? I am also.
te kim ibrilokAH? ahamapIbrI| te kim isrAyelIyAH? ahamapIsrAyelIyaH| te kim ibrAhImo vaMshAH? ahamapIbrAhImo vaMshaH|
23 Are they the ministers of Christ? (I speak as a mad man, ) I am more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes more abundantly, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often;
te kiM khrIShTasya parichArakAH? ahaM tebhyo. api tasya mahAparichArakaH; kintu nirbbodha iva bhAShe, tebhyo. apyahaM bahuparishrame bahuprahAre bahuvAraM kArAyAM bahuvAraM prANanAshasaMshaye cha patitavAn|
24 from the Jews five times I received forty stripes save one,
yihUdIyairahaM pa nchakR^itva UnachatvAriMshatprahArairAhatastrirvetrAghAtam ekakR^itvaH prastarAghAta ncha praptavAn|
25 thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice was I shipwrecked, a day and a night I spent in the deep.
vAratrayaM potabha njanena kliShTo. aham agAdhasalile dinamekaM rAtrimekA ncha yApitavAn|
26 Often in journeys, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own race, 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 sa NkaTai rdasyUnAM sa NkaTaiH svajAtIyAnAM sa NkaTai rbhinnajAtIyAnAM sa NkaTai rnagarasya sa NkaTai rmarubhUmeH sa NkaTai sAgarasya sa NkaTai rbhAktabhrAtR^iNAM sa NkaTaishcha
27 in labor and in toil, in vigils often, in hunger and in thirst, in fastings often, in cold and in nakedness.
parishramakleshAbhyAM vAraM vAraM jAgaraNena kShudhAtR^iShNAbhyAM bahuvAraM nirAhAreNa shItanagnatAbhyA nchAhaM kAlaM yApitavAn|
28 Besides all these, that which comes upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
tAdR^ishaM naimittikaM duHkhaM vinAhaM pratidinam Akulo bhavAmi sarvvAsAM samitInAM chintA cha mayi varttate|
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I do not burn?
yenAhaM na durbbalIbhavAmi tAdR^ishaM daurbbalyaM kaH pApnoti?
30 But if it behooves me to glory, I will glory in those things appertaining to my infirmities.
yadi mayA shlAghitavyaM tarhi svadurbbalatAmadhi shlAghiShye|
31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one being blessed forever, knows that I lie not. (aiōn g165)
mayA mR^iShAvAkyaM na kathyata iti nityaM prashaMsanIyo. asmAkaM prabho ryIshukhrIShTasya tAta Ishvaro jAnAti| (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus Areta the governor of the king, guarded the city of the Damascenes, to arrest me:
dammeShakanagare. aritArAjasya kAryyAdhyakSho mAM dharttum ichChan yadA sainyaistad dammeShakanagaram arakShayat
33 and through a window was I let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
