2 Corinthians 11
1 I could wish ye would bear with me as to some little foolishness, —Nay! do even bear with me!
Ke solofela gore lo tlaa nna pelotelele le nna fa ke ntse ke bua jaaka seeleele jaana. Ntetlang go bua se se mo pelong ya me.
2 For I am jealous over you with a jealousy, of God; for I myself betrothed you unto one husband, to present, a chaste virgin, unto the Christ, —
Ke lo tlhwaafaletse ka tlhwaafalo ya Modimo, ke tlhwaafaletse gore lorato lwa lona e nne lwa ga Keresete a le nosi, fela jaaka kgarebane e e itshekileng e bolokela monna a le mongwe lorato lwa yone, yo e tlang nnang ene monna wa gagwe.
3 But I fear lest, by any means, as, the serpent, completely deceived Eve, in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the singleness [and the chasteness] which are [due] unto the Christ.
Mme ke a boifa, ke tshaba gore ka tsela nngwe lo tlaa timediwa mo boitshekong jwa lona mo Moreneng, fela jaaka Efa a ne a tsiediwa ke Satane mo tshimong ya Edene.
4 For, if, indeed, he that cometh, is proclaiming, another Jesus, whom we have not proclaimed, or, a different Spirit, ye are receiving, which ye had not received, or a different glad-message, which ye have never welcomed, ye are, well, bearing.
Lo lebega lo tsietsega ka bonako: lo dumela sengwe le sengwe se mongwe fela o se lo bolelelang le fa a rera kaga Jesu yo mongwe go na le yo re mo rerang, kgotsa mewa e e farologaneng go na le Mowa O O Boitshepo o lo o amogetseng, kgotsa a lo supegetsa tsela e sele ya go bolokwa. Lo dumela gotlhe.
5 For I reckon not to have come a whit behind the exceeding overmuch apostles;
Le fa go ntse jalo, ga ke bone gore “Barongwa ba ba hakgamatsang” ba ba ipitsang gore ba tswa kwa Modimong, ga ba nkgaise ka gope.
6 And, even if uncultured in my discourse, certainly not in my knowledge, —but, in every way, having made [it] manifest, in all things, unto you.
Fa ke le sebui se se bokoa, mme ke itse se ke buang kaga sone, jaaka ke akanya gore lo gopola jalo jaanong, gonne re go tlhomamisitse gangwe le gape.
7 Or, a sin, did I commit—abasing, myself, that, ye, might be exalted, —in that, free of charge, God’s glad-message, I announced unto you?
A ke kile ka dira phoso ka ingotla go dira gore lo ntebele kwa tlase ka ntlha ya gore ke lo reretse Mafoko a Modimo a a Molemo kwa ntle ga go lo kopa sepe.
8 Other assemblies, I despoiled, receiving supplies that I might minister, unto you;
Mo boemong jwa moo ke “thopile” diphuthego tse dingwe ka go tsaya se ba neng ba se nthomeletse mme ka se dirisa fa ke santse ke na le lona, gore ke tle ke lo direle kwa ntle ga tuelo epe. Mme fa moo go setse go fetile mme ke tshwerwe ke tlala, ke ne ke ntse ke sa lo kope sepe, gonne Bakeresete ba ba neng ba tswa kwa Masedonia ba ntletse mpho e nngwe. Ga ke ise nke ke lo kope le fa e le ledi ebile ga ke kitla ke dira jalo.
9 And, being present with you, and having come short, I was not burdensome to anyone, —for, my deficiency, the brethren, coming from Macedonia, helped to make up; —and, in everything, without burden unto you, I kept, myself—and will keep!
10 Truth of Christ is in me, that, this boasting, shall not be silenced unto me, in the regions of Achaia.
Ke solofetsa se ka selekanyo sengwe le sengwe sa boammaaruri jo ke nang najo, gore ke tlaa bolelela mongwe le mongwe mo Akaia ka gone!
11 Wherefore? Because I love you not? God, knoweth!
Ka ntlha ya eng? A ke ka ntlha ya gore lwa re ga ke lo rate? Modimo o a itse gore ke a lo rata.
12 But, what I am doing, I also will do, —that I may cut off the occasion of them who are wishing an occasion, that, wherein they are boasting themselves, they may be found even as also, we.
Mme ke tlaa go dira gore ke tlhokise ba ba ipelafatsang seipato sa gore ba dira tiro ya Modimo jaaka re e dira.
13 For, such as these, are false apostles, deceitful workers, transfiguring themselves into apostles of Christ.
Modimo ga o a roma batho bao gotlhelele; ke “batsietsi” ba ba lo tsietsang gore lo gopole gore ke baaposetoloi ba ga Keresete.
14 And no marvel! for, Satan himself, doth transfigure himself into a messenger of light!
Le fa go ntse jalo ga ke hakgamale! Satane o ka iphetola moengele wa lesedi,
15 No great thing, therefore, if, his ministers also, are transfiguring themselves as ministers of righteousness!—whose end, shall be according to their works.
jalo ga go hakgamatse gore batlhanka ba gagwe ba ka dira jalo le bone, ba bonale jaaka baruti ba Modimo. Kwa bokhutlong ba tlaa amogela kotlhao nngwe le nngwe e e tshwanelang ditiro tsa bone tsa boikepo.
16 Again, I say—let no one deem me to be, foolish; but, otherwise, at least, as foolish, give me welcome, that, I also, some little, may boast myself.
Gape ke a lo kopa, se gopoleng gore ke latlhile botlhale jwa me go bua jaana; mme le fa lo gopola jalo, ntheetsang, nna seeleele, sematla, fa le nna ke ipelafatsa go se kae jaaka ba dira.
17 What I am saying, not according to the Lord, am I saying, but as in foolishness, —in this my boastful confidence!
Go ikgantsha mo go ntseng jalo ga se sengwe se Morena o se ntaoletseng go se dira, gonne ke dira jaaka seeleele se se senang tlhaloganyo.
18 Since, many, are boasting after the flesh, I also, will boast;
Le fa go ntse jalo batho bao ba tsweletse ka go lo bolelela gore ba ditswerere go le kae, le nna ke tlaa tswelela jalo.
19 For, gladly, do ye bear with the foolish, being [yourselves], discreet, —
(Lo gopola gore lo botlhale thata, le fa go ntse jalo lo reetsa dieleele tseo; ka boitumelo; ga lo re sepe fa di lo dira makgoba a tsone di bo di tsaya sengwe le sengwe se lo nang naso, ba lo ja ntsoma, di lo faphamola sefatlhogo.
20 For ye bear with it—if anyone enslaveth you, if any devoureth, if anyone taketh, if anyone lifteth himself up, if anyone, on the face, doth smite you!
21 By way of disparagement, am I speaking, —as though, we, had been weak! whereas, in whatsoever anyone dareth, in foolishness I speak, I also, dare: —
Ketlhabiwa ke ditlhong gore ke re ga ke a nonofa mme ke le pelokgale jalo! Mme le fa e le eng se ba ka ipelafatsang ka sone, ke bua jaaka seeleele gape, ke ka ipelafatsa ka sone le nna).
22 Hebrews, are they? I also, Israelites, are they? I also, seed of Abraham, are they? I also,
Ba ikgantsha gore ke Bahebera, a ke bone? Ee, le nna ke Mohebera, ebile ba re ke Baiseraele, batho ba ba itlhophetsweng ke Modimo? Le nna ke Moiseraele. Ebile ba re ke bo morwa Aberahame? Ee, le nna ke morwawe.
23 Ministers of Christ, are they? As one deranged I am talking, I, above measure!—in toils, superabundantly, in prisons, superabundantly, in stripes, to excess, in deaths, oft, —
Ba re ba direla Keresete? Mme ke mo diretse go feta! (A ke kile ka ipelafatsa jaana?) Ke dirile thata, ke golegilwe gantsinyana, ke iteilwe mo go senang palo, mme ka lebagana le loso gantsintsi.
24 From Jews, five times, forty-save-one, have I received,
Makgetho a matlhano a a farologanyeng, Bajuta ba ntiteile dithupa di le masome a mararo le boferabongwe.
25 Thrice, have I been beaten with rods, once, have I been stoned, thrice, have I been shipwrecked, a day and night, in the deep, have I spent;
Ke iteilwe ka dithobane gararo. Ka kgobotlediwa ka maje gangwe fela. Ka thubegelwa ke sekepe gararo, ka tlhola mo lewatleng bosigo jotlhe le letsatsi le le latelang.
26 In journeyings oft, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own race, in perils from Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the desert, in perils by the sea, in perils among false brethren,
Ke tsamaile maeto a maleele a a lapisang ebile ke tsenye mo kotsing ya merwalela gantsi, mo bothukuthing, le mo go bagaetsho, Bajuta, le mo diatleng tsa Badichaba. Ke ne ka lebagana le dikotsi tse di diphatsa thata di tswa mo bathong ba bantsi ba metse le mo losong mo dikakeng le mo matsubutsubung a mawatle le mo bathong ba ba ipitsang bakaulengwe mo Moreneng mme e se bone.
27 in toil and hardship, in watchings, oft, in hunger and thirst, in fasting, oft, in cold and nakedness: —
Ke tshedile ka letsapa, le ditlhabi le masigo ke sa robale. Ke bolailwe ke tlala gantsi le lenyora ka bo ka felelwa ke dijo; ke roromisitswe ke serame gantsi, ke sena diaparo tse di lekanyeng go nthuthafatsa.
28 Apart from the things without, my daily care, —my anxiety for all the assemblies; —
Jalo, mo godimo ga tse tsotlhe, ke na le tlhobaelo e e tsweletseng pele gore diphuthego di tsamaya jang:
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and, I, am not burning?
Ke mang yo e a reng a dirile phoso ke se ke ke mo utlwele botlhoko? Ke mang yo e a reng fa a wa ke se ke ke rate go thusa? Ke mang yo e a reng fa a utlwisitswe botlhoko mo moweng ke nne fela ke sa gakalele yo o mo utlwisitseng botlhoko?
30 If, to boast, is needful, in the things that concern my weakness, will I boast.
Mme fa e le gore ke tshwanetse go ikgantsha, ke ka mpa ka ikgantsha kaga dilo tse di mpontshang bokoa jwa me.
31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus, knoweth—He who is blessed unto the ages—that I am not speaking falsely: (aiōn g165)
Modimo, Rraagwe Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete, yo o tshwanetseng go bakwa ka metlha le metlha, o a itse gore ke bolela boammaaruri. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus, the governor under Aretas the king, was guarding the city of Damascenes, to apprehend me, —
Jaaka erile kwa Damaseko molaodi wa kgosi Aretase a mpeela badisa mo dikgorong tsa motse go ntshwara;
33 And, through a window, was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
mme ke ne ka falotshiwa ka thapo le seroto mo phatlheng ya lokotswana lo lo ageletseng motse mme jalo ka tswa! (A go itsege mo go golo!).
