< 2 Corinthians 11 >

1 If only you would bear with me for a bit in my foolishness! Yes, do bear with me!
Au ae olaꞌ onaꞌ nggoaꞌ e mbei. Dadꞌi rena malolole au dei! Taꞌo ia:
2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy, because I promised you in marriage to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
Au onaꞌ hei ama ma. Hei onaꞌ au ana feto ngga mana nenenetane basaꞌ ena. Mana netaneꞌ a, naeni Kristus. Ma, au nau unea nggi malolole, naa fo mete ma ama sao na, hei feꞌe meumareꞌ. Dadꞌi au unea malolole fo esa afiꞌ ngganggu hei, do tao nalutu nemehere mara.
3 But I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds will be led astray from simple devotion to Christ.
Aleꞌ ia hei tungga Kristus dala ndoo-tetun no rala meumareꞌ. Te au umutau, afiꞌ losa hambu atahori lelekoꞌ rala nggi, fo ama lao hela dalaꞌ naa, onaꞌ a lele uluꞌ a mengge a peko-lelekoꞌ nala Hawa. Nitu a bisa peko-lelekoꞌ onaꞌ naa, huu eni, mana peko-lelekoꞌ ra baꞌin!
4 For if someone comes to you and preaches a different message about Jesus than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit than the one you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you bear with it well enough.
Mete ma atahori mataꞌ onaꞌ naa ra rema risiꞌ hei, ma ranori nggi soꞌal Yesus mataꞌ laen, nda onaꞌ Yesus fo hai minori neu nggiꞌ a sa, na, taꞌo bee de ama mimihere atahori naa? Dalahulun, hei soi rala mara fo simbo Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren de nauli nggi. Dadꞌi, taꞌo bee de aleꞌ ia hei nau simbo mala dula-dale mataꞌ laen fai? Dalahulun, hei mimihere Kristus Hara-lii Malolen fo hai dui-bꞌengga neu nggi. Dadꞌi, taꞌo bee de aleꞌ ia hei nau simbo nenoriꞌ mataꞌ laen fai?
5 For I consider myself to be in no way inferior to these “super-apostles.”
Ara soꞌu-soꞌu ao nara rae, sira, Lamatuaꞌ dedꞌenun manaseliꞌ tebꞌe. Itaꞌ hak nara lenaꞌ au, do? Hokoꞌ! Au nda tungga duduꞌat onaꞌ naa sa.
6 I may be untrained in speech, but I do not lack knowledge; indeed, in every way we have been made known to you in everything.
Mae au nda olaꞌ uhine endiꞌ dedꞌea madꞌikuꞌ sa, te au uhine tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ saa fo au olaꞌ a. Hei bubꞌuluꞌ dalaꞌ ia ra ena, huu au utudꞌu usufafali neu nggi ena.
7 Did I commit a sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?
Leleꞌ au unori Lamatualain Hara-lii Malolen neu nggi, au nda oꞌe nggi tanggon masodꞌa ngga sa. Au tao ao ngga dadꞌi anak, naa fo au bisa soꞌu botiꞌ nggi. Mbei ma hei mae fua salaꞌ neu au, huu naa, do?
8 I “robbed” other churches by receiving support from them in order to serve you!
Te atahori mamahereꞌ sia atahori saraniꞌ sia mamanaꞌ laen ra mana tanggon masodꞌa ngga, naa fo au bisa mete-seꞌu ala nggi. Naa onaꞌ au haꞌi mia se, fo bisa tulu-fali neu nggi.
9 When I was with you and in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.
Leleꞌ au uꞌubꞌue o nggi, ma au parlu, na au nda ngganggu nggi sa, do oꞌe saa-saa mia nggi. Toronoo tara mana rema mia profinsi Makedonia mana tulu-fali au. Te au nda tao umubera saa-saa mbali nggi sa, ma au nda nau tao taꞌo naa sia fai mana nemaꞌ ia sa.
10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.
Kristus Dedꞌea-oꞌolan, tebꞌe, au o umuhere ae, au dedꞌea-oꞌola ngga, tebꞌe boe, huu au nenepaꞌaꞌ o Kristus. Nda hambu atahori sia profinsi Akaya bisa babꞌata rala au bafa ngga sa, ma raꞌangge rala au fo afiꞌ olaꞌ koao ae, au nda tao umubera nggi taꞌo naa sa.
11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
Taꞌo bee de au olaꞌ taꞌo ia? Mbei ma, huu au nda sue nggi sa, do? Mae hei duꞌa taꞌo naa, te Lamatuaꞌ bubꞌuluꞌ au susue ngga neu nggi.
12 But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may deny any opportunity to those who want to be regarded as our equals in what they boast about.
Naa, dalaꞌ fo au tao itaꞌ ra, au nau tao ukundoo. No taꞌo naa, atahori mana hii soꞌu-soꞌuꞌ ao nara fo olaꞌ koao rae sira tatao nara onaꞌ hita, na, ara nda raꞌena netehuuꞌ sa ena.
13 For such men are false apostles and deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
Ara rae Lamatuaꞌ mana denu sira. Sira, atahori mana tao ues mana hiiꞌ a lelekoꞌ atahori! Ara sobꞌa-sobꞌa tao ao nara onaꞌ Kristus dedꞌenu matetu nara. Tao-tao te basa naa ra ombo-koson!
14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
Ama afiꞌ heran, e! Te nitu ra malanggan o sobꞌa-sobꞌa tao aon onaꞌ Lamatualain aten mia sorga mana rendi manggareloꞌ no rala maloleꞌ.
15 Therefore it is no great surprise if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be according to their works.
Naa de hei afiꞌ heran mete ma atahori mana tao ues nara o sobꞌa-sobꞌa tao ao nara onaꞌ atahori mana ue-tao no rala ndoos. Te besa-bꞌesa, huu dei fo Lamatualain bala-bꞌae deꞌulaka nara.
16 I repeat: Let no one consider me to be a fool. But if you do, receive me just as you would a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
Mete ma hei nau, na hela fo au olaꞌ onaꞌ nggoaꞌ e mbei fai. Te au ae sobꞌa olaꞌ koao.
17 What I say in this confidence of boasting, I am not saying in accordance with the Lord, but as a fool.
Au suraꞌ ia fo soꞌu-soꞌuꞌ ao ngga taꞌo ia, na au olaꞌ onaꞌ nggoaꞌ e. Huu oꞌola ngga ia, nda naꞌoka sia hita Lamatuan sa.
18 Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast.
Hambu atahori hetar hiiꞌ a soꞌu-soꞌu ao nara tungga atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia hadꞌan. Dadꞌi au o ae olaꞌ koao tungga se boe.
19 For you gladly bear with fools since you are so wise!
Te hei tao ao mara onaꞌ atahori dudꞌuꞌa ndoos, mete ma mindaa mo atahori sa utan onaꞌ ee, na, hei hela neu no rala loaꞌ, to?
20 You bear with it if anyone enslaves you, devours you, takes advantage of you, exalts himself, or hits you in the face.
Mete ma atahori laen tao saa-saa mbali nggi, na, hei hela se neuꞌ ena. Conto onaꞌ: mete ma hambu atahori tao nggi dadꞌi onaꞌ ate, na, hei hela se neuꞌ ena. Mete ma atahori ramanaꞌo rala sudꞌi a saa mara, na, hei hela se neuꞌ ena. Mete ma hambu atahori lelekoꞌ rala nggi, na, hei hela se neuꞌ ena. Mete ma hambu atahori soꞌu ao nara onaꞌ moko-monaen, ma raloe-radꞌae nggi onaꞌ anadikiꞌ, na, hei hela se neuꞌ ena. Onaꞌ naa boe, mete ma atahori mbasa nggi, na, hei hela neuꞌ ena.
21 To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone else dares to boast about—I am speaking like a fool—I also dare to boast about.
Te afiꞌ miminasa, e! Te au mae, huu hei noe-naꞌus. Te hai nda bisa tao taꞌo naa sa, onaꞌ atahori ra tao neu nggi. Te mete ma ara rae olaꞌ koao soꞌal saa, na, au o umburani olaꞌ koao taꞌo naa boe. (Te afiꞌ liliiꞌ, huu au olaꞌ onaꞌ nggoaꞌ e!)
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
Sira atahori Ibrani tebꞌeꞌ-tebꞌeꞌ, do? Hei! Te au boe. Sira atahori Israꞌel, do? Hei! Te au boe. Sira, baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin, do? Hei! Te au boe.
23 Are they servants of Christ? (I am speaking like I am out of my mind!) I am even more so, with far more labors, with beatings beyond measure, with far more imprisonments, and often facing death.
Sira, Kristus atahori mana tao ues na, do? Hei! Te au o onaꞌ naa boe. (Afiꞌ liliiꞌ, te au olaꞌ uꞌulelenaꞌ ia!) Memaꞌ au ae, au onaꞌ se boe. Tao-tao te, au lena se fai. Huu au ue-tao maꞌadere lenaꞌ se. Atahori nggari hendi au bui rala uu lao hetar lenaꞌ. Ara filo au lao hetar lenaꞌ. Au o aeꞌa mate lao hetar lenaꞌ.
24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
Huu sia au atahori Yahudi nggara liman, ara filo au lao lima. Mete ma ara filo au lao esa na, ara liꞌu lao telu nulu sio.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I spent in the open sea.
Atahori ra popoko au lao telu rendiꞌ hau. Lao esa ara mbia fatu fo rae tao risa au. Au ofa ngga molo lao telu. Au lalaa mia tasi romaꞌ rereloꞌ sa ma tetembaꞌ sa.
26 I have often been on journeys, exposed to dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers at sea, and dangers among false brothers.
Au lao dooꞌ uu sia bee-bꞌee lao hetar. Hambu sosoeꞌ hetar tao au aeꞌ a mate. Conto onaꞌ: oe mandaliꞌ mia loe monaeꞌ, mana rambok ra, au atahori Yahudi nggara, atahori nda Yahudi ra sa, ma atahori mana tao aon onaꞌ toronoo atahori mamahereꞌ, tao-tao te sira mana lelekoꞌ. Au o aeꞌa mate mia tasi taladꞌan sia kota rala, ma sia mamana rouꞌ boe.
27 I have endured labor and hardship, many sleepless nights, and hunger and thirst. I have often gone without food and have been cold due to a lack of sufficient clothing.
Au tao ues itaꞌ mamate ngga, ma hambu sususaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Lao hetar au nda sungguꞌ ala sa. Au o ndoe ma uꞌumadꞌa. Lao hetar au nda hambu ua saa-saa sa boe. Parna au nda ma bua-baꞌus sa, de au maꞌarini aeꞌ a mate.
28 Apart from these external things, there is my daily burden: my concern for all the churches.
Mete ma nda nau ingga basa dalaꞌ naa ra sa, na, ingga taꞌoꞌ a ia: te tungga fai na langga ngga nareo-nafali, huu au dudꞌuꞌa soꞌal basa hita toronoo atahori mamahereꞌ ra mana raꞌabꞌue sia bee-bꞌee.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
Mete ma hambu atahori namedꞌa aon nda nabeꞌi sa, na, nasanedꞌa au. Te au o onaꞌ naa boe. Mete ma atahori kokoe atahori mamahereꞌ ra fo tungga-tungga tao salaꞌ, au mae, ma umunasa.
30 If I must boast, I will boast about the things that show my weakness.
Naa, Mete ma au musi olaꞌ koao, malole lenaꞌ au olaꞌ koao soꞌal dala-dala mana natudꞌu nae, au ia, mana noe-naꞌus. Tebꞌe!
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. (aiōn g165)
Hita Lamatuan Yesus, no Aman Lamatualain, rahine rae au nda lelekoꞌ sa. Naa nandaa atahori soꞌu kokoa-kikio neu E rakandondooꞌ a. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of the Damascenes, wanting to arrest me,
Conto onaꞌ, dalahulun mia kota Damsik, mane Aretas gofernor na denu atahori fo tepa au sia kota lelesun, fo toꞌu rala au.
33 but I was let down in a basket through a window in the city wall and escaped from his hands.
Te au nonoo nggara tao au isiꞌ boa esa rala uu, de raꞌondaꞌ au rendiꞌ taliꞌ mia kota a tembok na deaꞌ. Dadꞌi au ala seri mia gofernor liman. Misinedꞌa, te mete ma au mesaꞌ nggo, na, nda bisa sa, to?
