< 2 Corinthians 11 >

1 I wish that you could put up with me in some foolishness. But you are indeed putting up 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 about you. I have a godly jealousy for you, since I promised you in marriage to one husband. I promised to 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 am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your thoughts might be led astray away from a sincere and pure devotion to 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 suppose that someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we preached. Or suppose that you receive a different spirit than what you received. Or suppose that you receive a different gospel than the one you received. You put up with these things well enough!
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 think that I am not in the least inferior to those so-called super-apostles.
Nítorí mo rò pé èmi kò rẹ̀yìn nínú ohunkóhun sí àwọn àgbà Aposteli.
6 But even if I am untrained in giving speeches, I am not untrained in knowledge. In every way and in all things we have made this known to you.
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 Did I sin by humbling myself so you might be exalted? For I freely preached the gospel of God to you.
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 by accepting support from them so that I could serve you.
Èmí ń ja ìjọ mìíràn ni olè nípa gbígba ìpèsè owó ki èmi bà á lè sìn yín.
9 When I was with you and I was in need, I did not burden anyone. For my needs were met by the brothers who came from Macedonia. In everything I have kept myself from being a burden to you, and I will continue to do that.
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, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the parts 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 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.
Nítorí kín ni? Nítorí èmi kò fẹ́ràn yín ni bí? Ọlọ́run mọ̀.
12 And what I do I will keep doing, in order that I may take away the claim for criticizing me and the claim for which they want to boast—that they are found to be doing the same work that we are doing.
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 people are false apostles and deceitful workers. They disguise themselves as 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 this is no surprise, for even Satan disguises himself as 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 surprise if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their fate will be what their deeds deserve.
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 one think I am a fool. But if you do, receive me as a fool so I may boast 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 What I am saying with this boastful confidence—I am not talking the way the Lord would—I am saying as a fool.
Ohun tí èmi ń sọ, èmi kò sọ ọ́ nípa ti Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n bí òmùgọ̀ nínú ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé ìṣògo yìí.
18 Since many people boast according to the flesh, I will also boast.
Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, ni ó ń ṣògo nípa ti ara, èmi ó ṣògo pẹ̀lú.
19 For you gladly put up with fools. You are wise yourselves!
Nítorí ẹ̀yin fi inú dídùn gba àwọn òmùgọ̀ nígbà tí ẹ̀yin tìkára yín jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n.
20 For you put up with someone if he enslaves you, if he consumes you, if he takes advantage of you, if he considers himself better than you, or if he slaps you in 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 will say to our shame that we were too weak to do that. Yet if anyone boasts—I am speaking like a fool—I too will boast.
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 descendants 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 servants of Christ? (I speak as though I were out of my mind.) I am more. I have been in even more hard work, in far more prisons, in beatings beyond measure, in facing many dangers of death.
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 From Jews I received five times the “forty lashes minus one.”
Nígbà márùn-ún ni mo gba pàṣán ogójì dín ẹyọ kan lọ́wọ́ àwọn Júù.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. I have spent a night and a day on the open sea.
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 I have been on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, in danger from robbers, in danger from my own people, in danger from the Gentiles, in danger in the city, in danger in the wilderness, in danger at sea, in danger from false brothers.
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 I have been at hard work and in hardship, in many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often in fasting, in cold and nakedness.
Nínú làálàá àti ìrora, nínú ìṣọ́ òru nígbàkígbà, nínú ebi àti òǹgbẹ, nínú àwẹ̀ nígbàkígbà, nínú òtútù àti ìhòhò.
28 Apart from everything else, there is the daily pressure on me of my 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 has been caused to stumble, and I do not burn?
Ta ni ó ṣe àìlera, tí èmi kò ṣe àìlera? Tàbí a mú kọsẹ̀, tí ara mi kò gbiná?
30 If I must boast, I will boast about what shows my weaknesses.
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, the one who is praised forever, knows that I am not lying! (aiōn g165)
Ọlọ́run àti Baba Olúwa wá Jesu Kristi, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ olùbùkún jùlọ láéláé mọ̀ pé èmi kò ṣèké. (aiōn g165)
32 At Damascus, the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of Damascus to arrest 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 But I was lowered in a basket through a window in the wall, and I escaped from his hands.
Láti ojú fèrèsé nínú agbọ̀n ni a sì ti sọ̀ mí kalẹ̀ lẹ́yìn odi, tí mo sì bọ́ lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
