2 Corinthians 11
1 O that you were bearing with me a little of the folly, but you also bear with me:
yūyaṁ mamājñānatāṁ kṣaṇaṁ yāvat sōḍhum arhatha, ataḥ sā yuṣmābhiḥ sahyatāṁ|
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,
īśvarē mamāsaktatvād ahaṁ yuṣmānadhi tapē yasmāt satīṁ kanyāmiva yuṣmān ēkasmin varē'rthataḥ khrīṣṭē samarpayitum ahaṁ vāgdānam akārṣaṁ|
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;
kintu sarpēṇa svakhalatayā yadvad havā vañcayāñcakē tadvat khrīṣṭaṁ prati satītvād yuṣmākaṁ bhraṁśaḥ sambhaviṣyatīti bibhēmi|
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],
asmābhiranākhyāpitō'paraḥ kaścid yīśu ryadi kēnacid āgantukēnākhyāpyatē yuṣmābhiḥ prāgalabdha ātmā vā yadi labhyatē prāgagr̥hītaḥ susaṁvādō vā yadi gr̥hyatē tarhi manyē yūyaṁ samyak sahiṣyadhvē|
5 for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles,
kintu mukhyēbhyaḥ prēritēbhyō'haṁ kēnacit prakārēṇa nyūnō nāsmīti budhyē|
6 and even if a commoner in speech—yet not in knowledge, but in everything we were made evident in all things to you.
mama vākpaṭutāyā nyūnatvē satyapi jñānasya nyūnatvaṁ nāsti kintu sarvvaviṣayē vayaṁ yuṣmadgōcarē prakāśāmahē|
7 Did I do sin—humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I freely proclaimed the good news of God to you?
yuṣmākam unnatyai mayā namratāṁ svīkr̥tyēśvarasya susaṁvādō vinā vētanaṁ yuṣmākaṁ madhyē yad aghōṣyata tēna mayā kiṁ pāpam akāri?
8 I robbed other assemblies, having taken wages, for your ministry;
yuṣmākaṁ sēvanāyāham anyasamitibhyō bhr̥ti gr̥hlan dhanamapahr̥tavān,
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.
yadā ca yuṣmanmadhyē'va'rttē tadā mamārthābhāvē jātē yuṣmākaṁ kō'pi mayā na pīḍitaḥ; yatō mama sō'rthābhāvō mākidaniyādēśād āgatai bhrātr̥bhi nyavāryyata, itthamahaṁ kkāpi viṣayē yathā yuṣmāsu bhārō na bhavāmi tathā mayātmarakṣā kr̥tā karttavyā ca|
10 The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting will not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia;
khrīṣṭasya satyatā yadi mayi tiṣṭhati tarhi mamaiṣā ślāghā nikhilākhāyādēśē kēnāpi na rōtsyatē|
11 for what reason? Because I do not love you? God has known!
ētasya kāraṇaṁ kiṁ? yuṣmāsu mama prēma nāstyētat kiṁ tatkāraṇaṁ? tad īśvarō vētti|
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;
yē chidramanviṣyanti tē yat kimapi chidraṁ na labhantē tadarthamēva tat karmma mayā kriyatē kāriṣyatē ca tasmāt tē yēna ślāghantē tēnāsmākaṁ samānā bhaviṣyanti|
13 for those such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,
tādr̥śā bhāktaprēritāḥ pravañcakāḥ kāravō bhūtvā khrīṣṭasya prēritānāṁ vēśaṁ dhārayanti|
14 and no wonder—for even Satan transforms himself into a messenger of light;
taccāścaryyaṁ nahi; yataḥ svayaṁ śayatānapi tējasvidūtasya vēśaṁ dhārayati,
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.
tatastasya paricārakā api dharmmaparicārakāṇāṁ vēśaṁ dhārayantītyadbhutaṁ nahi; kintu tēṣāṁ karmmāṇi yādr̥śāni phalānyapi tādr̥śāni bhaviṣyanti|
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.
ahaṁ puna rvadāmi kō'pi māṁ nirbbōdhaṁ na manyatāṁ kiñca yadyapi nirbbōdhō bhavēyaṁ tathāpi yūyaṁ nirbbōdhamiva māmanugr̥hya kṣaṇaikaṁ yāvat mamātmaślāghām anujānīta|
17 That which I speak, I do not speak according to the LORD, but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting;
ētasyāḥ ślāghāyā nimittaṁ mayā yat kathitavyaṁ tat prabhunādiṣṭēnēva kathyatē tannahi kintu nirbbōdhēnēva|
18 since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast:
aparē bahavaḥ śārīrikaślāghāṁ kurvvatē tasmād ahamapi ślāghiṣyē|
19 for you gladly bear with the fools—being wise,
buddhimantō yūyaṁ sukhēna nirbbōdhānām ācāraṁ sahadhvē|
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;
kō'pi yadi yuṣmān dāsān karōti yadi vā yuṣmākaṁ sarvvasvaṁ grasati yadi vā yuṣmān harati yadi vātmābhimānī bhavati yadi vā yuṣmākaṁ kapōlam āhanti tarhi tadapi yūyaṁ sahadhvē|
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.
daurbbalyād yuṣmābhiravamānitā iva vayaṁ bhāṣāmahē, kintvaparasya kasyacid yēna pragalbhatā jāyatē tēna mamāpi pragalbhatā jāyata iti nirbbōdhēnēva mayā vaktavyaṁ|
22 Are they Hebrews? I also! Are they Israelites? I also! Are they seed of Abraham? I also!
tē kim ibrilōkāḥ? ahamapībrī| tē kim isrāyēlīyāḥ? ahamapīsrāyēlīyaḥ| tē kim ibrāhīmō vaṁśāḥ? ahamapībrāhīmō vaṁśaḥ|
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.
tē kiṁ khrīṣṭasya paricārakāḥ? ahaṁ tēbhyō'pi tasya mahāparicārakaḥ; kintu nirbbōdha iva bhāṣē, tēbhyō'pyahaṁ bahupariśramē bahuprahārē bahuvāraṁ kārāyāṁ bahuvāraṁ prāṇanāśasaṁśayē ca patitavān|
24 Five times I received from Jews forty [stripes] except one;
yihūdīyairahaṁ pañcakr̥tva ūnacatvāriṁśatprahārairāhatastrirvētrāghātam ēkakr̥tvaḥ prastarāghātañca praptavān|
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;
vāratrayaṁ pōtabhañjanēna kliṣṭō'ham agādhasalilē dinamēkaṁ rātrimēkāñca yāpitavān|
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;
bahuvāraṁ yātrābhi rnadīnāṁ saṅkaṭai rdasyūnāṁ saṅkaṭaiḥ svajātīyānāṁ saṅkaṭai rbhinnajātīyānāṁ saṅkaṭai rnagarasya saṅkaṭai rmarubhūmēḥ saṅkaṭai sāgarasya saṅkaṭai rbhāktabhrātr̥ṇāṁ saṅkaṭaiśca
27 in laboriousness and painfulness, many times in watchings, in hunger and thirst, many times in fastings, in cold and nakedness;
pariśramaklēśābhyāṁ vāraṁ vāraṁ jāgaraṇēna kṣudhātr̥ṣṇābhyāṁ bahuvāraṁ nirāhārēṇa śītanagnatābhyāñcāhaṁ kālaṁ yāpitavān|
28 apart from the things without—the crowding on me that is daily—the care of all the assemblies.
tādr̥śaṁ naimittikaṁ duḥkhaṁ vināhaṁ pratidinam ākulō bhavāmi sarvvāsāṁ samitīnāṁ cintā ca mayi varttatē|
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is stumbled, and I am not burned?
yēnāhaṁ na durbbalībhavāmi tādr̥śaṁ daurbbalyaṁ kaḥ pāpnōti?
30 If it is necessary to boast, I will boast of the things of my weakness;
yadi mayā ślāghitavyaṁ tarhi svadurbbalatāmadhi ślāghiṣyē|
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)
mayā mr̥ṣāvākyaṁ na kathyata iti nityaṁ praśaṁsanīyō'smākaṁ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya tāta īśvarō jānāti| (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor [under] Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me,
dammēṣakanagarē'ritārājasya kāryyādhyakṣō māṁ dharttum icchan yadā sainyaistad dammēṣakanagaram arakṣayat
33 and I was let down through a window in a rope basket, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.
tadāhaṁ lōkaiḥ piṭakamadhyē prācīragavākṣēṇāvarōhitastasya karāt trāṇaṁ prāpaṁ|
