2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
不得你們容忍我一點狂妄! 其實你們也應容忍我，
2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Meshikha.
因為我是以天主的嫉妒，妒愛你們。原來我已把你們許配給一個丈夫，把你們當作貞潔的童女獻給了基督。
3 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Khawa in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the sincerity and purity that is in the Meshikha.
但我很怕你們的心意受到敗壞，失去那對基督所有的赤誠和貞潔，就像那蛇以狡滑誘感了厄娃一樣。
4 For if he who comes preaches another Yeshua, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different "good news", which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.
如果有人來給你們宣講另一個耶穌，不是我們所宣講過的；或者你們領受另一神，不是你們所領受過的，你們竟然都容忍了，真好啊!
5 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
真實我以為我一點也不在那些超等的宗徒以下，
6 Even though I am unskilled in speech, I am not unskilled in knowledge. But in every way we have made this known to you in all things.
縱使我拙於言詞，卻不拙於知識，這是我們在各方面，在各事上，對你們所表現出來的。
7 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God's Good News free of charge?
難道我白白地給你們傳報天主的福音，屈卑我自己為使你們高升，就有了不是嗎﹖
8 I robbed other congregations, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
我剝削了別的教會，取了酬資，為的是給你們服務啊!
9 When I was present with you and was in need, I was not a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
當我在你們那裏時，雖受了匱乏，卻沒有連累過你們一個人，因為有從馬其頓來的弟兄們，補助了我的匱乏，我一直在各方面設法避免連累你們，將來還要如此。
10 As the truth of Meshikha is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
基督的真理在我內，我敢說：我這種誇耀在阿哈雅地方是不會停止的。
11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.
為什麼呢﹖因為我不愛你們嗎﹖有天主知道!
12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we.
我現今作的，將來還要作，為避免給與那些找機會的人一個機會，免得有人看出他們在所誇耀的事上也跟我們一樣，
13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Meshikha's apostles.
因為這種人是假宗徒，是欺詐的工人，是冒充基督宗徒的。
14 And no wonder, for even Satana masquerades as an angel of light.
這並不希奇，因為連撒殫也冒充光明的天使；
15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
所以倘若他的僕役也冒充正義的僕役，並不算是大事；他們的結局必與他們的行為相對等。
16 I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
我再說：誰也不要以為我是狂妄的，苦不然，你們就以為狂妄看待罷! 好叫我也稍微誇耀一下。
17 That which I speak, I do not speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
我在這誇耀事上所要說的，不是按照主說的，而是如同在狂妄中說的。
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
既有許多人按俗見誇也要誇耀，
19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
因為像你們那樣明智的人，竟也甘心容忍了那些狂妄的人!
20 For you put up with it if someone makes slaves of you, if someone exploits you, if someone takes advantage of you, if someone exalts himself, if someone strikes you on the face.
因為若有人奴役你們，若有人侵吞，若有人榨取你們，若有人對你們傲慢，若有人打你們的臉，你們竟然都容忍了!
21 I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet however any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
我慚愧的在這方面好像我們太軟弱了! 其實，若有人在什麼事上敢誇耀，我狂妄地說：我也敢。
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israyelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Avraham? So am I.
他們是希伯來人﹖我也是。是亞巴郎的曲裔﹖我也是。
23 Are they servants of Meshikha? (I speak as one beside himself) I am more so; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often.
他們是基督的僕役﹖我瘋狂地說：我更是。論勞碌，我更多；論監獄，更頻繁；論拷打，過了量；冒死亡，是常事。
24 Five times from the Jews I received forty stripes minus one.
被猶太人鞭了五次，每次四十下少一下；
25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.
受扙擊三次；被石擊一次；遭翻船三次；在深海裏度過了一日一夜，
26 I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from those who are not Jews, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers;
又多次行路，遭遇江河的危險，盜賊的危險，由同族來的危險，由外邦人來的危險，城 中來的危險，曠野裏的危險，海洋上的危險，假弟兄中的危險；
27 in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
勞碌辛苦，屢不得眠；忍饑受渴，屢不得食；忍受寒冷，赤身裸體；
28 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily, anxiety for all the congregations.
除了其餘的事以外，還有我每日的繁務，對眾教會的掛慮。
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
誰軟弱，我不軟弱呢﹖誰跌倒，我不焦慮呢﹖
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
若必須誇耀，我就要誇耀我軟弱的事。
31 The God and Father of the Lord Yeshua, he who is blessed forevermore, knows that I do not lie. (aiōn g165)
主耶穌的天主和父，那應受頌揚於永遠的，知道我不撒謊。 (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes, desiring to arrest me.
我在大馬士革時，阿勒達王的總督把守了大馬士革人的城，要逮捕我，
33 Through a window I was let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
而我竟疲人用籃子從窗口沿著城牆繫下，逃脫了他的手。
