< 2 Corinthians 11 >

1 O that you were bearing with me a little of the folly, but you also bear with me:
ᏲᎯᏉ ᎤᏍᏗᎩᏛ ᎤᏁᎳᎩ ᎨᏍᎩᏰᎵᏎᏗ ᏱᎩ ᎠᎩᏁᎫ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯ ᎤᏁᎳᎩ ᏍᎩᏰᎵᏏ.
2 for I am zealous for you with zeal of God, for I betrothed you to one Husband, a pure virgin, to present to Christ,
ᏕᏨᏰᎷᎦᏰᏃ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏗᎬᏩᏓ ᏂᎸᎢᏍᏗ ᎠᏛᏳᎨᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎬᏗᎭ; ᏌᏉᏰᏃ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ ᏗᏣᏨᏍᏗᏱ ᏂᏨᏴᏁᎸ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎵᏏᎾᎯᏍᏗ ᎠᏛ ᎢᎦᎦᏛ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏫᏗᏨᏲᎯᏎᏗᏱ.
3 and I fear, lest, as the serpent deceived Eve in his subtlety, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that [is] in the Christ;
ᎠᏎᏃ ᏥᎾᏰᏍᎦ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ Ꮎ ᎢᎾᏛ ᏧᎶᏄᎮᎴ ᎢᏫ ᎠᏏᎾᏌᏅ ᏥᎬᏗᏍᎨᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏕᏣᏓᏅᏛ ᏱᏓᎪᎸᎾ ᏗᏥᏲᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᏱᏂᎬᎦ ᏄᏠᎾᏍᏛᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ.
4 for if, indeed, he who is coming preaches another Jesus whom we did not preach, or you receive another spirit which you did not receive, or other good news which you did not accept—well were you bearing [it],
ᎩᎶᏰᏃ ᎢᏥᎷᏤᎯ ᏅᏩᏓᎴ ᏥᏌ ᎠᎵᏥᏙᎲᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎠᏴ ᎣᏣᎵᏥᏙᏅᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎢᏳ ᎠᎴ ᏅᏩᏓᎴ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᏙᏣᏓᏂᎸᏨᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏗᏣᏓᏂᎸᏨᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎠᎴ ᏅᏩᏓᎴ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ, ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏗᏣᏓᏂᎸᏨᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎣᏏᏳᏉ ᎤᏁᎳᎩ ᏱᏤᎵᏒ.
5 for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles,
ᎦᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬᏰᏃ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎤᏅ ᎡᏍᎦ ᏱᎦᏥᏲᎠᏍᎦ ᏄᏂᎬᏫᏳᏒ ᎨᏥᏅᏏᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ.
6 and even if a commoner in speech—yet not in knowledge, but in everything we were made evident in all things to you.
ᎤᏁᎳᎩ ᏅᏇᏲᏅᎾ ᏱᎩ ᎠᎩᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗᏱ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎥᏝ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏱᏄᏍᏗ ᏥᎦᏔᎾᎥᎢ; ᏂᎦᎥᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᏃᎦᏍᏛ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏃᎦᎵᏍᏔᏅ ᎾᏂᎥ ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎲ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏤᎲᎢ.
7 Did I do sin—humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I freely proclaimed the good news of God to you?
ᏥᎪ ᏥᏍᎦᏅᎩ ᎡᎳᏗ ᏥᎾᏆᏓᏛᏁᎸ, ᏂᎯ ᎡᏥᏌᎳᏙᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᏗᏨᎬᏩᎶᏓᏁᎸᎾ ᏥᎩ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ ᎢᏨᏯᎵᏥᏙᏁᎸᎢ?
8 I robbed other assemblies, having taken wages, for your ministry;
ᏕᎦᏥᎾᏌᏅ ᏅᏩᎾᏓᎴ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᏚᎾᏓᏡᏩᏗᏒᎢ, ᏥᎩᏍᎬᎩ ᎬᏆᎫᏴᎡᎲᎢ, ᏂᎯ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎢᏨᏯᏛᏁᏗᏱ.
9 and being present with you, and having been in want, I was chargeable to no one, for the brothers supplied my lack—having come from Macedonia—and I kept myself burdenless to you in everything, and will keep.
ᎠᎴ ᎾᎯᏳ ᏥᏨᏰᎳᏗᏙᎲᎩ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏆᏚᎸᎲᎥᎦ, ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᏯᏆᎫᏱᏍᎨᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎠᎩᏂᎬᏎᎲᎢ, ᎣᏣᎵᏅᏟ ᎹᏏᏙᏂ ᏅᏓᏳᏂᎶᏒᎯ ᎬᎩᏁᎲᎩ; ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᎥᏉ ᎠᏆᏟᏂᎬᏁᎸ ᎢᏨᏐᏈᎸᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏏᏉ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎦᏛᏁᎮᏍᏗ.
10 The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting will not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia;
ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎦᏰᎪᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏣᎩᏯᎠ, ᎥᏝ ᎥᎩᏲᎯᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᏱᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏢᏈᏍᎬ ᎡᎧᏯ ᏂᎬᎾᏛᎢ.
11 for what reason? Because I do not love you? God has known!
ᎦᏙᏃ? ᏥᎪ ᏂᏨᎨᏳᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ? ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎦᏔᎭ.
12 And what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also;
ᎠᏎᏃ ᏂᎦᏛᏁᎲ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎦᎦᏛᏁᎮᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏥᏲᏍᏙᏓᏁᏗᏱ ᎤᎾᏜᏓᏅᏓᏕᏗᏱ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏧᎾᏚᎵᎭ ᎤᎾᏜᏓᏅᏓᏕᏗᏱ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᎿᎭᎠᎾᏢᏈᏍᎬ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏴ ᏃᎦᏍᏛ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᎾᏍᏛ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏱᏂᎦᎵᏍᏓ.
13 for those such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,
ᎯᎠᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᎾᏠᎾᏍᎩ ᎨᏥᏅᏏᏛ, ᎤᎾᏓᎵᏓᏍᏗ ᏧᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ, ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏧᏤᎵ ᎨᏥᏅᏏᏛ ᎠᎾᏤᎸᏍᎩ.
14 and no wonder—for even Satan transforms himself into a messenger of light;
ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᏳᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗ; ᏎᏓᏂᏰᏃ ᎤᏩᏒ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏗᏙᎯ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏛ ᎡᎯ ᎠᏤᎸᏍᎪᎢ.
15 [it is] no great thing, then, if his servants also transform themselves as servants of righteousness—whose end will be according to their works.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎤᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗᏳ ᏱᎩ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎨᏥᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ ᏯᎾᏤᎸᏍᎦ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎵᏍᏆᎸᏗ ᎢᏳᎾᎵᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏚᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎸ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.
16 Again I say, may no one think me to be a fool; and if otherwise, receive me even as a fool, that I also may boast a little.
ᏔᎵᏁ ᎯᎠ ᏂᏥᏪᎭ, ᏞᏍᏗ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏁᎫ ᏯᏇᎵᏎᎮᏍᏗ; ᎢᏳ ᎠᏗᎾ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᏍᏕᏍᏗ, ᎠᏎ ᎠᎩᏁᎫ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏗᏍᎩᏯᏓᏂᎸᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏴ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏆᏢᏈᏍᏗᏱ.
17 That which I speak, I do not speak according to the LORD, but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting;
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏂᏥᏪᏍᎬ ᏥᏁᎬ ᎥᏝ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᏳᏪᏍᏗ ᏱᏥᏁᎦ, ᎠᎩᏁᎫᏍᎩᏂ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏥᏁᎦ, ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᏥᎾᏰᏍᎬᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏥᎬᏗᎭ ᏥᎦᏢᏆᏍᎦ.
18 since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast:
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᏧᏂᏣᏔ ᏣᎾᏢᏈᏍᎦ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᎬᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᏴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏓᎦᏢᏆᏏ.
19 for you gladly bear with the fools—being wise,
ᎤᏂᏁᎫᏰᏃ ᎤᎾᏁᎳᎩ ᏙᏤᎵᏎᎭ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎢᏥᏰᎸᎭ, ᏂᎯ ᎢᏥᎦᏔᎾᎢ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ.
20 for you bear, if anyone is bringing you under bondage, if anyone devours, if anyone takes away, if anyone exalts himself, if anyone strikes you on the face;
ᎤᏁᎳᎩᏰᏃ ᎢᏤᎵᏍᎪ ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᏱᏗᏥᎾᏢᏅ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎠᏒᎭ ᏱᏂᏨᏁᎸ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ [ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎢᏥᎲ ] ᏱᏥᎩᎡᎸ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏩᏒ ᏳᏓᎵᏌᎳᏓᏅ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᏕᏣᎧᏛ ᏱᏨᏂᎸ.
21 I speak in reference to dishonor, how that we were weak, and in whatever anyone is bold—in foolishness I say [it]—I also am bold.

22 Are they Hebrews? I also! Are they Israelites? I also! Are they seed of Abraham? I also!
ᏥᎪ ᎢᎾᏈᎷ ᎾᏍᎩ? ᎠᏴ ᎾᏍᏉ. ᏥᎪ ᎠᏂᎢᏏᎵ? ᎠᏴ ᎾᏍᏉ. ᎡᏆᎭᎻᏍᎪ ᏧᏁᏢᏔᏅᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ? ᎠᏴ ᎾᏍᏉ.
23 Are they servants of Christ? As [if] beside myself I speak—I [am] more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times.

25 three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I have passed a night and a day in the deep;

26 journeys many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from [my own] race, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brothers;

28 apart from the things without—the crowding on me that is daily—the care of all the assemblies.

29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is stumbled, and I am not burned?

30 If it is necessary to boast, I will boast of the things of my weakness;
ᎢᏳᏃ ᎠᏎ ᎠᏆᏢᏈᏍᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᏥᏩᎾᎦᎵᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᏓᎦᏢᏆᏏ.
31 the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ—who is blessed for all ages—has known that I do not lie! (aiōn g165)

32 In Damascus the governor [under] Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me,

33 and I was let down through a window in a rope basket, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.
