2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
I mauki, komail en mueid ong ia kisin pweipwei, iei ta komail pan mueid ong ia.
2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you in marriage to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
Pwe ngai me per kin komail dueta Kot, pwe ngai me kileledier komail ong ol amen, pwe i en kasale komail ong Kristus duen seripein makelekel amen.
3 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
A i masak serpent widingok, me kotaue Ewa, ma a sota pan pil kawela omail lamelam sang ni opampap en Kristus.
4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news” which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough.
Pwe ma amen pan pwarado, me kin padaki duen amen Iesus, me se sota padaki, de ma komail pan ale eu ngen, me komail sota aleer, de eu rongamau, me komail sota wuki ong, kaidin komail pan peren kida?
5 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
Pwe i lamelame, me ngai kaidin tikitik sang wanporon lapalap akan.
6 But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
A ma i sota koiok ong lokaia a kaidin ni ai dedeki, pwe kit sansal ong komail ni song o wasa karos.
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?
De ngai me wiadar dip eu ni ai akmalkila pein ngai? Pwe komail en indandala ki ai padaki ong komail rongamau en Kot so pwaipwai.
8 I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
I atia sang momotisou tei kan ni ai aleer pwain en dodok, pwe i en kak dodok ong komail.
9 When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t 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.
O ni ai mimi re omail o lao samamala, kaidin amen, me i uki pa meakot, pwe ni ai solar ai meakot, ri atail akan me kodo sang Masetonien me kisa dong ia; ngai ari sota katoutoui komail ni meakot, o i pil pan due!
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
A duen melel en Kristus mimi lol i, iduen i sota pan mueid ong amen, en kawela kaping wet nan sap en Akaia kan.
11 Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.
Pwekida? Pweki ai so pok ong komail? Kot me kotin mangier.
12 But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity, that in which they boast, they may be recognised just like us.
A me i kin wia, i me i pan wiada, pwen kawela karep en akai me inong iong karep en ar suaiki dene irail dueta kit, sota lipilipil is i.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.
Pwe wanporon likam pukat o toun dodok likam akan irail, kin kawukilang wanporon akan en Kristus pein irail.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
A kaidin kapuriamui eu, pwe iduen Satan kin kawukila pein i, wuki ong tounlang en marain amen.
15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
I me kaidin kapuriamui eu, ma nä papa kan pil pan wukilang papa en pung kan; a imwilar pan duen ar wiawia kan.
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.
I purong indada, sota amen en akpweipwei kin ia, a ma iei, komail ap maki ong ia ai pweipwei, pwe i en suai kin ia ekis.
17 That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
A me i inda, kaidin Kaun o me i pwili sang, pwe a tapi sang ni tiak en pweipwei, pwe i suaiki pein ngai;
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
Pwe me toto kin suaiki ni pali uduk, i pil pan suaiki pein ngai.
19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
Pwe komail kin mauki me lolepon kan, pweki komail me lolekong.
20 For you bear with a man if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, or if he strikes you on the face.
Pwe komail kin mueid ong amen, en wia kin komail ladu kan, de ma amen kaloke komail, de ma amen kuli komail edi, de ma amen aklapalap, de ma amen pikir komail.
21 To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
Mepukat i indang komail, pwen kanamenok ki komail, dene kit luetalar. A ma meamen aima, ngai pil aima, i kin lokaia nin tiak en pweipwei.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
Irail men Ipru, pil ngai; irail men Israel, pil ngai; irail kadaudok en Apraam, pil ngai;
23 Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labours more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.
Irail me papan Kristus, i kin lokaia dueta me iak amen, ngai me lapa sang; ai dodok laud sang, i kalokolok laud sang; i salidier toto sang, i koren iong mela pan pak toto.
24 Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.
Pan me limpak Sus oko ki ong ia wok paeisok, eu katoror sang,
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.
A pan me silepak re woki kin ia sokon; pan mepak me i pakasuk; pan me silepak takepa i sop olar; pong o ran, me i pepe sili nan madau.
26 I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils amongst false brothers;
Ai sailok me toto; i diar ai apwal nan pilap akan; i diar ai apwal ren lolap akan; i diar ai apwal ren ai kainok; i diar ai apwal nan sap tan; i diar ai apwal nan madau; i diar ai apwal ren saulang likam akan;
27 in labour and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
Ni dodok apwal, ni songsongemas, ni men mangadar o men nim piladar, ni isesol pan pak toto, ni pou o so kidi pa;
28 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.
O me pil kin lel ong ia ni ran karos, o ai apapwali momodisou akan karos.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’t burn with indignation?
Is me luet, a ngai sota pan luet? Is me kin kamakar, a ngai so?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
Ma i en suaiki, i pan suaiki ai luet.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed forever more, knows that I don’t lie. (aiōn g165)
Kot o Sam en Kaun Iesus, me iasanai kokolata, kin mangi, me i sota kin likam. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the Damascenes’ city, desiring to arrest me.
Nan Damaskus nain nanmarki Aretas kopina amen sinsila kanim en men Damaskus ni a inong iong saik ia di.
33 I was let down in a basket through a window by the wall, and escaped his hands.
I ap apikidi kopou eu sang ni wanim tuk en kel o, ap piti sang ni pa a kan.
