< 2 Corinthians 11 >

1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
Ọ ga-adị m mma ma ọ bụrụ na unu ga-anagide m ka m kwuo okwu ndị a dị ka onye nzuzu. Biko nagidenụ m.
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 Christ.
Ekworo m nwere nʼebe unu nọ bụ ekworo nke Chineke. Ekwere m nkwa iwere unu nye otu di, ya bụ Kraịst, ka m nwe ike chee unu nʼihu ya dịka nwaagbọghọ dị ọcha nke na-amaghị nwoke.
3 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the sincerity and purity that is in Christ.
Ma ana m atụ egwu, na dịka agwọ jiri aghụghọ ghọgbuo Iiv, ndị nrafu ga-eji aghụghọ duhie unu, mee ka unu kwụsị iji obi dị ọcha na uche ziri ezi jeere Kraịst ozi.
4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, 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.
Nʼihi na unu gaara anara onye ọzọ bịakwutere unu na-ekwusa Jisọs ọzọ nke na-abụghị nke anyị kwusara, unu gaara anarakwa ike nke mmụọ ọzọ dị iche na-abụghị ike nke Mmụọ Nsọ ahụ unu natara, unu gaara ekwenyekwa na nkuzi ọzọ dị iche, na-abụghị oziọma ahụ nke unu natara.
5 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
Ma echeghị m na ọ dị ụzọ ọbụla ndị ozi a maara aha ha si kara m mma.
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.
Ọ bụrụ na m abụghị onye ọka okwu, abụ m onye ọka mmụta. Anyị akọwarala unu nke a ọtụtụ mgbe nʼụzọ dị iche iche nʼihe niile.
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?
Ọ ga-abụ na-emere m ihe ọjọọ mgbe m wedara onwe m ala ka e welie unu elu, nʼihi nʼanaghị m unu ihe ọbụla mgbe m na-ekwusara unu oziọma Chineke?
8 I robbed other churches, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
Ọ bụ nzukọ nọ nʼebe ọzọ nyeere m aka mgbe m na-arụ ọrụ nʼetiti unu. Ọ bụ site nʼaka ha ka m ji nata nkwado, dịka ụgwọ ọrụ m, ka m nwee ike inyere unu aka.
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.
Ma mgbe m nọ nʼetiti unu abụghị m ibu arọ nye onye ọbụla nʼoge mkpa m. Nʼihi na ụmụnna si Masidonia wetaara m ihe niile na-akpa m mkpa. Ebe ọ bụ na m gbalịrị debe onwe m, ka m ghara ịbụ ibu arọ nye unu nʼụzọ ọbụla nʼoge gara aga, agaghị m abụkwa ibu arọ nye unu nʼoge dị nʼihu.
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
Ebe eziokwu nke Kraịst dị nʼime m, ịnya isi m nke a agaghị akwụsị na mpaghara Akaịa niile.
11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.
Nʼihi gịnị? Ọ bụ nʼihi na m ahụghị unu nʼanya? Chineke maara na m hụrụ unu nʼanya.
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.
Ma aga m aga nʼihu na-arụ ọrụ m na-achọghị ka unu nyere m aka nʼụzọ ọbụla ka m si otu a mee ka ndị ahụ na-akpọ onwe ha ndị ozi ghara ịnya isi kwuokwa na ha na-arụ ọrụ dịka anyị si arụ ọrụ anyị nʼetiti unu.
13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ's apostles.
Nʼihi na ndị dị otu a bụ ndị ozi ụgha, ndị ọrụ aghụghọ, ndị na-eme onwe ha ka ha bụ ndị ozi Kraịst.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
Ma omume ha adịghị eju m anya, nʼihi na ekwensu gbanwere onwe ya dịrị ka mmụọ ozi na-enye ìhè.
15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
Ya mere, ọ bụghị ihe iju anya ma ọ bụrụ na ndị na-ejere ya ozi emee onwe ha dịka ndị na-eje ozi ụzọ ezi omume. Ma nʼọgwụgwụ oge, ha ga-anata ụgwọ dịka ọrụ ha si dị.
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.
Dịka m kwuru na mbụ, ka onye ọbụla ghara iche na m bụ onye na-enweghị uche. Ọ bụrụkwarị na unu na-eche ụdị echiche a, biko naranụ m dịka onye na-enweghị uche, ka m nwee ike ịnya isi nke nta dịka ndị ọzọ si eme.
17 That which I speak, I do not speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
Ma nʼihe m dabeere na-anya isi, adịghị m ekwu okwu dịka Onyenwe anyị ga-ekwu, maọbụ dịka onye na-enweghị uche.
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
Ebe ọtụtụ mmadụ na-anya isi banyere ihe ha bụ nʼụzọ ụwa si eme. Mụ onwe m ga-anyakwa isi.
19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
Unu were obi ụtọ na-anagide ndị na-enweghị uche, ebe unu onwe unu nwere uche.
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.
Unu na-anagide ya ma ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla eme unu ndị ohu ha, maọbụ jiri anya ike nakọrọ unu ihe unu nwere, maọbụ ghọgbuo unu, maọbụ bulie onwe ya elu dịka ha karịrị unu, maọbụ maa unu uraa nʼihu.
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.
Nʼezie, ọ bụ ihere m, ịnabata na anyị bụ ndị na-adịghị ike nʼezie nye nke a. Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla anwaa anwaa nyaa isi nʼihe ọbụla (ana m ekwu dịka onye nʼenweghị uche), mụ onwe m ga-anyakwa isi.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
Ha bụ ndị Hibru? Mụ onwe m bụkwa ya. Ha bụ ndị Izrel? Mụ onwe m bụkwa ya. Ha bụ ndị agbụrụ Ebraham? Mụ onwe m bụkwa.
23 Are they servants of Christ? (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.
Ha bụ ndị na-ejere Kraịst ozi? (Ana m ekwu dịka onye anya na-adịghị mma.) Ma mụ onwe m ejela ozi karịa. Adọgbuola m onwe m nʼọrụ karịa ha niile. Etinyela m nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ọtụtụ mgbe, tinyere ọtụtụ ihe otiti, mgbe mgbe anọọla m nʼọnụ ọnwụ.
24 Five times from the Jews I received forty stripes minus one.
Ugboro ise ka ndị Juu pịara m ọnụ ụtarị iri anọ e wepụrụ otu.
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.
E jirila okporo igwe tie m ugboro atọ. Atụrụ m nkume otu ugboro. Ugboro atọ ka ụgbọ mmiri m nọ nʼime ya kpuru nʼoke osimiri. Anọọla m otu abalị na ụbọchị so ya nʼelu oke osimiri ebe mmiri na-ebugharị m.
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;
Ejeela m ọtụtụ ogologo ije nke ọtụtụ ihe ize ndụ dị nʼime ya. Nʼize ndụ site nʼosimiri, ize ndụ site na ndị na-apụnarị mmadụ ihe nʼike, ize ndụ site nʼaka ndị obodo nke aka m. Ọtụtụ mgbe ka m zere ndụ site nʼaka ndị mba ọzọ, nʼime obodo ukwu, nʼọzara ma nʼoke osimiri; na nʼaka ndị kpọrọ onwe ha ụmụnna m, ma ha bụ ndị ụgha.
27 in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
Adọgbuola m onwe m nʼọrụ, anọọla m nʼọnọdụ ịhụju anya na ịmụ anya ọtụtụ abalị. Ọtụtụ mgbe ana m anọ agụụ na-erighị ihe ọbụla, maọbụ ịṅụ ihe ọbụla. Anọọla m ọtụtụ mgbe nʼoge oyi na-ama jijiji nʼihi enweghị uwe dị mma m ji achụ oyi.
28 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily, anxiety for all the churches.
Ma e wezuga ihe ndị a niile, ana m anọ nʼechiche mgbe niile banyere otu ihe niile si aga nʼime nzukọ.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
Onye bụ onye ahụ na-adịghị ike nke m na-adịghị eso ya kere oke na-adịghị ike ya? Onye ka e dubara na mmehie nke ọnọdụ ya na-adịghị emetụ m nʼobi?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
Kama ọ bụrụ na o kwesiri ka m nyaa isi aga m anya isi banyere ihe ndị ahụ na-egosi adịghị ike m.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed forevermore, knows that I do not lie. (aiōn g165)
Chineke, na Nna nke Onyenwe anyị Jisọs, onye e kwesiri ito aha ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, maara na ihe ndị a niile m na-ekwu bụ eziokwu. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes, desiring to arrest me.
Nʼobodo Damaskọs, onye ọchịchị ala ahụ nke eze obodo ahụ a na-akpọ Aretas họpụtara, ndị na-eche obodo Damaskọs nche ka ha jide m.
33 Through a window I was let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
Ma e tinyere m nʼime nkata, site nʼoghere dị na mgbidi gbara obodo ahụ gburugburu wedata m, m gbanarị ya.
