< 2 Corinthians 11 >
1 Would that ye could bear with me in a little foolishness: nay indeed bear with me.
Mo rò wí pé ẹ ó faradà díẹ̀ nínú ìwà òmùgọ̀ mi ṣùgbọ́n bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, mo fẹ́ kí ẹ gbà mí láàyè.
2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I espoused you to one husband, that I might present you [as] a pure virgin to Christ.
Nítorí pé èmi ń jowú lórí i yín bí ẹni ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run, nítorí tí mo ti fì yín fún ọkọ kan, kí èmi bà á lè mú yín wá bí wúńdíá tí ó mọ́ sọ́dọ̀ Kristi.
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀rù ń bà mí, kí ó má bà á jẹ́ pé, bí ejò ti tan Efa jẹ́ nípasẹ̀ àrékérekè rẹ̀, a lè mú ọkàn yín ṣáko lọ kúrò nínú òtítọ́ yín àti ìfarajì fún Kristi.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or [if] ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different gospel, which ye did not accept, ye do well to bear with [him].
Nítorí bí ẹnìkan bá wá tí ó sì wàásù Jesu mìíràn, yàtọ̀ sí èyí tí a ti wàásù rí tàbí bí ẹ̀yin bá gba ẹ̀mí mìíràn, yàtọ̀ sí èyí tí ẹ ti gbà tàbí ìyìnrere mìíràn yàtọ̀ sí èyí tí ẹ ti gbà, tí ẹ sì ti yára tẹ́wọ́ gbà á.
5 For I reckon that I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
Nítorí mo rò pé èmi kò rẹ̀yìn nínú ohunkóhun sí àwọn àgbà Aposteli.
6 But though [I be] rude in speech, yet [am I] not in knowledge; nay, in everything we have made [it] manifest among all men to you-ward.
Bí mo tilẹ̀ jẹ́ òpè nínú ọ̀rọ̀ sísọ, kì í ṣe nínú ìmọ̀; ní ọ̀nàkọnà ni àwa ti fi èyí hàn dájúdájú fún yín nínú ohun gbogbo.
7 Or did I commit a sin in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God for nought?
Tàbí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni mo dá bí èmi ti ń rẹ ara mí sílẹ̀ kí a lè gbé yín ga, nítorí tí mo wàásù ìyìnrere Ọlọ́run fún un yín lọ́fẹ̀ẹ́.
8 I robbed other churches, taking wages [of them] that I might minister unto you;
Èmí ń ja ìjọ mìíràn ni olè nípa gbígba ìpèsè owó ki èmi bà á lè sìn yín.
9 and when I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man; for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and [so] will I keep [myself].
Nígbà tí mo sì wà pẹ̀lú yín, tí mo sì ṣe aláìní, èmi kò dẹ́rù pa ẹnikẹ́ni, nítorí ohun tí mo ṣe aláìní ni àwọn ará tí ó ti Makedonia wá ti mú wá. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nínú ohun gbogbo mo pa ara mi mọ́ láti má ṣe jẹ́ ẹrù fún yín, èmi yóò sì pa ara mi mọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀.
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this glorying in the regions of Achaia.
Ó jẹ́ òtítọ́, Kristi tí ń bẹ nínú mi pé kò sí ẹni tí ó lè dá mi lẹ́kun ìṣògo yìí ni gbogbo ẹkùn Akaia.
11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
Nítorí kín ni? Nítorí èmi kò fẹ́ràn yín ni bí? Ọlọ́run mọ̀.
12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire an occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
Èmi yóò tẹ̀síwájú láti máa ṣe ohun ti èmi ń ṣe láti le mú ìjákulẹ̀ bá àwọn tí wọn ń wá ọ̀nà láti bá wa dọ́gba nínú èyí ti àwa ń ṣògo lé lórí.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ.
Nítorí irú àwọn ènìyàn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn èké Aposteli àwọn ẹni ti ń ṣiṣẹ́ ẹ̀tàn, tí ń pa wọ́n dà di aposteli Kristi.
14 And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light.
Kì í sì í ṣe ohun ìyanu; nítorí Satani, tìkára rẹ̀ ń pa ara rẹ̀ dàbí angẹli ìmọ́lẹ̀.
15 It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Nítorí náà kì í ṣe ohun ńlá bí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú bá pa ara wọn dàbí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ òdodo; ìgbẹ̀yìn àwọn ẹni tí yóò rí gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ wọn.
16 I say again, Let no man think me foolish; but if [ye do], yet as foolish receive me, that I also may glory a little.
Mo sì tún wí pé, kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ṣe rò pé òmùgọ̀ ni mí; ṣùgbọ́n bí bẹ́ẹ̀ bá ni, ẹ gbà mí bí òmùgọ̀ kí èmi lè gbé ara mi ga díẹ̀.
17 That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying.
Ohun tí èmi ń sọ, èmi kò sọ ọ́ nípa ti Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n bí òmùgọ̀ nínú ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé ìṣògo yìí.
18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, ni ó ń ṣògo nípa ti ara, èmi ó ṣògo pẹ̀lú.
19 For ye bear with the foolish gladly, being wise [yourselves].
Nítorí ẹ̀yin fi inú dídùn gba àwọn òmùgọ̀ nígbà tí ẹ̀yin tìkára yín jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n.
20 For ye bear with a man, if he bringeth you into bondage, if he devoureth you, if he taketh you [captive], if he exalteth himself, if he smiteth you on the face.
Nítorí ẹ̀yin faradà á bí ẹnìkan bá sọ yín dí òǹdè, bí ẹnìkan bá jẹ́ yín run, bí ẹnìkan bá gbà lọ́wọ́ yín, bí ẹnìkan bá gbé ara rẹ̀ ga, bí ẹnìkan bá gbá yín lójú.
21 I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet whereinsoever any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
Èmi ń wí lọ́nà ẹ̀gàn, bí ẹni pé àwa jẹ́ aláìlera! Ṣùgbọ́n nínú ohunkóhun tí ẹnìkan ti ní ìgboyà, èmi ń sọ̀rọ̀ bí òmùgọ̀, èmi ní ìgboyà pẹ̀lú.
22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
Heberu ni wọ́n bí? Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi. Israẹli ni wọ́n bí? Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi. Irú-ọmọ Abrahamu ní òun bí? Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi.
23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I more; in labours more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths oft.
Ìránṣẹ́ Kristi ni wọ́n bí? Èmi ń sọ bí òmùgọ̀, mo ta wọ́n yọ; ní ti làálàá lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀, ní ti pàṣán, mo rékọjá, ní ti túbú nígbàkígbà, ní ti fífẹ́rẹ kú nígbà púpọ̀.
24 Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one.
Nígbà márùn-ún ni mo gba pàṣán ogójì dín ẹyọ kan lọ́wọ́ àwọn Júù.
25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day have I been in the deep;
Nígbà mẹ́ta ni a fi ọ̀gọ̀ lù mí, ẹ̀ẹ̀kan ṣoṣo ni a sọ mí ní òkúta, ẹ̀ẹ̀mẹta ni ọkọ̀ ojú omi mi rì, ọ̀sán kan àti òru kan ni mo wà nínú ibú.
26 [in] journeyings often, [in] perils of rivers, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils from [my] countrymen, [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;
Ní ìrìnàjò nígbàkígbà, nínú ewu omi, nínú ewu àwọn ọlọ́ṣà, nínú ewu àwọn ará ìlú mi, nínú ewu àwọn aláìkọlà, nínú ewu ni ìlú, nínú ewu ní aginjù, nínú ewu lójú Òkun, nínú ewu láàrín àwọn èké arákùnrin.
27 [in] labour and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
Nínú làálàá àti ìrora, nínú ìṣọ́ òru nígbàkígbà, nínú ebi àti òǹgbẹ, nínú àwẹ̀ nígbàkígbà, nínú òtútù àti ìhòhò.
28 Beside those things that are without, there is that which presseth upon me daily, anxiety for all the churches.
Pẹ̀lú nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí ó jẹ́ tí òde, ọ̀pọ̀ ni èyí tí ń wọn n dúró tì mí lójoojúmọ́, àní àníyàn fún gbogbo ìjọ.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is made to stumble, and I burn not?
Ta ni ó ṣe àìlera, tí èmi kò ṣe àìlera? Tàbí a mú kọsẹ̀, tí ara mi kò gbiná?
30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my weakness.
Bí èmi yóò bá ṣògo, èmi ó kúkú máa ṣògo nípa àwọn nǹkan tí ó jẹ́ ti àìlera mi.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not. (aiōn )
Ọlọ́run àti Baba Olúwa wá Jesu Kristi, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ olùbùkún jùlọ láéláé mọ̀ pé èmi kò ṣèké. (aiōn )
32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes, in order to take me:
Ní Damasku, baálẹ̀ tí ó wà lábẹ́ ọba Areta fi ẹgbẹ́ ogun ká ìlú àwọn ará Damasku mọ́, ó ń fẹ́ láti mú mi bí arúfin.
33 and through a window was I let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
Láti ojú fèrèsé nínú agbọ̀n ni a sì ti sọ̀ mí kalẹ̀ lẹ́yìn odi, tí mo sì bọ́ lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
