2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish ye would bear with me a little in my folly; and indeed bear with me.
Mexɔ se be miagbɔ dzi ɖi ase nye movinya siwo gblɔm mele na mi. Miɖo to ne magblɔ nye dzimenyawo na mi.
2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy, having espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
Metsɔ Mawu ƒe ŋuʋaʋã le ŋu ʋãm le mia ŋu; elabena medo mia ŋugbe na ŋutsu ɖeka, si nye Kristo be mianye eya ɖeka ko tɔ, abe ale si ɖetugbi dzadzɛ tsɔa eƒe lɔlɔ̃ naa ŋutsu si ƒe ŋugbe wodo nɛ la ene.
3 But I fear least as the serpent seduced Eve by his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the purity that is in Christ.
Gake mele vɔvɔ̃m ɖe mia nu be ɖewohĩ la, ame aɖe ava ble mi, eye wòatrɔ miaƒe susu ɖa tso dzimekɔkɔ si mietsɔ na Kristo gbɔ, abe ale si da dzeaye ma ble Eva ene.
4 For if he, that cometh to you, preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached; or if ye receive another Spirit which ye have not received, or another gospel which ye have not embraced, ye might indeed bear with him.
Nu si ta mele esiawo gblɔm lae nye be edze nam be mia beble le bɔbɔe, eye ne ame aɖe va mia gbɔ va ɖe gbeƒã Yesu bubu si to vovo tso esi ŋuti míefia nu mi le la gbɔ alo wòfia nu bubu sãa mi alo ƒo nu tso gbɔgbɔ bubu aɖe si mesɔ kple Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe si miexɔ o ŋuti la, miexɔa ame ma dzi sena bɔbɔe.
5 For I think I was not inferior to the very chiefest apostles: and if I am unskilled in speech,
Ke nye Paulo mexɔe se be ame siwo nɔa wo ɖokuiwo yɔm be Mawu ƒe ame dɔdɔwo yewonye la menyo wum le mɔ aɖeke nu o.
6 yet not in knowledge ---but we have been fully manifested among you in all things.
Ne nyemeɖea ami ɖe nye nuƒo abe ale si woawo wɔnɛ ene o hã la, menya nu si tututu gblɔm mele elabena Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋusẽ me meƒoa nu le abe ale si miawo ŋutɔ mienya ene.
7 Have I committed an offence in humbling myself that ye might be exalted? and in that I have preached the gospel of God to you gratis?
Azɔ esi meva mia gbɔ, eye meɖe gbeƒã Mawu ƒe nyanyui la na mi le ɖokuibɔbɔɖeanyi blibo me, eye nyemexɔ naneke le mia si o la, eyae nye nu vɔ̃ si mewɔ ɖe mia ŋu eya ta miebum ɖe naneke me oa?
8 I trespassed on other churches, receiving maintenance from them for your service.
Le ɣeyiɣi si me menɔ gbeƒã ɖem le mia gbɔ la, hame bubuwoe nɔ dzinye kpɔm. Ale be wòva zu be mexɔ nu siwo hame bubuwo nam la hetsɔ wɔ dɔe le mia gbɔ.
9 And when I was present among you, and in want, I was chargeable to no one. For the brethren that came from Macedonia supplied my want: and in every thing I have kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.
Esi menɔ mia gbɔ, eye nanewo va hiãm la, nyemebia mi o, ke boŋ kristotɔ siwo tso Makedonia va gbɔnye lae tsɔ nu siawo nu vɛ nam. Meɖoe be nyemanye agba na mi o, eya tae nyemebia pesewa ɖeka hã va se ɖe fifia o, eye nyemabia mi hã gbeɖegbeɖe o.
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, this boast shall not be taken from me in the regions of Achaia.
Abe ale si Kristo ƒe nyateƒe la le menye ene la, ame aɖeke mate ŋu atrɔ nye susu sia o, eye mana nɔvi siwo katã le Akaya nutowo me la hã nanya nu le esia ŋuti.
11 Wherefore? because I love you not?
Ame aɖe agblɔ be ɖe nyemelɔ̃ mi Kristotɔwo o, eya ta megblɔ esia ɖo, gake mele eme nenema o, elabena Mawu ŋutɔ gɔ̃ hã nya be melɔ̃ mi vevie.
12 God knoweth. But what I do, I will do, that I may cut off occasion from those that desire an occasion of boasting or censure, that in what they boast of they may be found to do even as we do.
Ke mawɔ nu si meɖo la dzi be matsɔ ɖe ke le miaƒe apostolo siwo le adegbe ƒom be yewo hã Mawu ƒe dɔ ko wɔm yewole abe míawo ke ene la te.
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transformed into apostles of Christ.
Nenɔ nyanya me na mi be menye Mawue dɔ aʋatsopostolo mawo o. Alakpatɔwo wonye, eye wodze agbagba ble mi be Kristo ƒe apostolowo yewonye.
14 And no wonder: for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Esia mewɔ nuku nam o, elabena Satana ŋutɔ hã tea ŋu trɔa eɖokui ɣe aɖewo ɣi abe Mawudɔla ene.
15 It is therefore no great thing, if his ministers also be transformed into ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Eya ta menye nu wɔnuku aɖeke wònye kura be Satana ƒe dɔlawo trɔ wo ɖokuiwo abe Kristo ƒe dɔlawo ene o, gake le nuwuwu la, woahe to na wo ɖe woƒe nuwɔnawo ta.
16 I say again, let no one think me foolish herein; but if they do, yet bear with my weakness, that I also may boast a little.
Megale kuku ɖem na mi be migabu be ɖe nyemenya ale si maƒo nu abe ame mawo ene o, eye nenye be nyemenya ale si maƒo nu abe woawo ene o hã la, miɖe mɔ nam be maƒo nu abe abunɛtɔ ene, eye nye hã maƒo adegbe vie abe woawo ene.
17 What I speak I speak not as from the Lord, but as in weakness, in this confidence of boasting.
Adegbe sia ƒoƒo kple kakaɖedzi menye nu si Aƒetɔ la di tso asinye be mawɔ o, gake mele eƒo ge abe ale si ame tagbɔmanɔsitɔ ƒoa nue ene.
18 Since many boast in the flesh, I will boast also.
Abe ale si ame geɖewo ƒoa adegbe be yewonye ame tɔxɛwo le xexea me ene la, nenema ke nye hã mele wɔwɔ ge fifi laa.
19 For ye bear with fools willingly, being yourselves so wise:
Miebe nunyalawoe yewonye, gake mieɖoa to bometsinyawo dzidzɔtɔe.
20 ye bear it, even if any one enslave you, if any devour you, if any take your substance, if any be lifted up, yea if any one smite you on the face.
Mielɔ̃ wotsɔ mi wɔ kluviwoe, woɖoa nu siwo menyo o la na mi miewɔna, wona miekpɔ wo dzi, wowɔa wo ɖokuiwo glodzoo eye wokaa mo na mi ɖe madzɔmadzɔ dzi gake miekea nu o.
21 I speak of their reproaches, as if we were weak: but whereinsoever any one may be confident (though I speak foolishly) I may be confident too.
Enye ŋukpe nam be magblɔ be dzideƒo kple ŋusẽ mele asinye be maƒo nu nenema o, ke nu sia nu si ŋu woaƒo adegbe le la nye hã mate ŋu aƒo adegbe le nenem nu ma ŋu, eye enye dada nam be megale nu ƒom abe bometsila ene.
22 Are they Hebrews? so am I: are they Israelites? so am I: are they the seed of Abraham?
Woƒoa adegbe be Hebritɔwo yewonye, nye hã Hebritɔ menye. Wobe Israelviwo yewonye, nye hã Israelvi menye, eye wobe Abraham ƒe dzidzimeviwoe yewonye, nye hã Abraham ƒe dzidzimevie menye.
23 so am I: are they ministers of Christ? (if I may speak as a fool) I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes far exceeding, in prisons more frequently, and often even in deaths.
(Megale nu ƒom dadatɔe abe ame si ƒe tagbɔ da ene.) Wobe Kristo ƒe subɔlawo yewonyea? Gake mesubɔa Kristo wu wo katã, eye mewɔ dɔ wu wo elabena le Kristo ta wodem gaxɔ me zi geɖe, woƒom kutɔkutɔe, eye ɣe aɖewo ɣi gɔ̃ hã la, medea tsiẽƒe gagbɔna.
24 From the Jews I have five times received forty stripes save one.
Yudatɔwo ƒom zi atɔ̃ sɔŋ eye le ƒoƒo ɖe sia ɖe me la, woƒom zi blaetɔ̃-vɔ-asiekɛ.
25 Thrice I have been beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I have been shipwrecked, and was a night and a day on the deep:
Romatɔwo hã ƒom zi etɔ̃ kple gakawo, eye woƒu kpem zi ɖeka. Menɔ tɔdziʋu me wògbã zi etɔ̃ sɔŋ; ɣe aɖe ɣi gɔ̃ hã la, mege dze atsiaƒu me, eye menɔ atsiaƒu gbana la me zã ɖeka kple ŋkeke ɖeka.
26 in journies often, in perils from rivers, in perils from robbers, in perils from my own nation, in perils from the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the desert, in perils on the sea, in perils among false brethren:
Mezɔ mɔ didi teɖeɖiameŋu geɖewo, eye nye agbe ɖo xaxa me le tɔɖɔɖɔ, fiafitɔwo, Yudatɔwo kple ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo ta. Le nyateƒe me la, meto dzɔgbevɔ̃ewo me le afi sia afi si mede la, le du gãwo me, gbedzi kple ƒu dzi siaa. Nenema ke ame siwo be yewonye nɔviwo le Kristo me, evɔ mele eme nenema o hã do ŋɔdzi na nye agbe.
27 in labor and toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness: and beside these outward troubles,
Le dɔwɔwɔ fũu ta la, ɖeɖi tea ŋunye, eye metsi zãdomadɔlɔ̃e zi geɖe. Dɔ kple tsikɔ wuam zi geɖe. Dɔƒe hã menɔa asinye o, eye le zã me la, vuvɔ wɔam, elabena avɔ titri menɔ asinye o.
28 that which besets me daily, the care of all the churches.
Hekpe ɖe nu siawo ŋuti la, metsina dzodzodzoe enuenu tso hamewo ƒe tsitsi ɖe edzi ŋuti.
29 Who is infirm, and I am not infirm also? who is offended, and I am not inflamed?
Ne ame aɖe le hame aɖe me si gbɔdzɔ la, etena ɖe dzinye, eye nye hã megbɔdzɔna enumake eye ne hamevi aɖe wɔ nu vɔ̃ eye wòdze anyi la, enana be nuxaxa yɔa nye dzi me.
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things which relate to my infirmity.
Azɔ ne medi be maƒo adegbe la, ɖeko maƒoe le nu siwo nana be ŋusẽ mele ŋunye o la ŋu.
31 And the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knoweth that I lye not. (aiōn g165)
Mawu, ame si nye Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo Fofo, eye wòdze kafukafu tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me la hã nya be nyateƒe gblɔm mele. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under king Aretas, placed guards about the city to seize me:
Esi menɔ Damasko la, fia Areta ɖo asrafowo dua ƒe agbowo nu be woalém,
33 and I was let down by the wall through a window in a basket, and so escaped his hands.
gake nɔvi siwo le afi ma la de ka kusi ŋu, eye wokɔm da ɖe kusi la me hetsɔ to fesre si le glia me la me, eye mesi dzo le egbɔ.
