2 Corinthians 11
1 I wolde that ye wolden suffre a litil thing of myn vnwisdom, but also supporte ye me.
Utinam sustineretis modicum quid insipientiae meae, sed et supportare me:
2 For Y loue you bi the loue of God; for Y haue spousid you to oon hosebonde, to yelde a chast virgyn to Crist.
Aemulor enim vos Dei aemulatione. Despondi enim vos uni viro virginem castam exhibere Christo.
3 But Y drede, lest as the serpent disseyuede Eue with his sutil fraude, so youre wittis ben corrupt, and fallen doun fro the symplenesse that is in Crist.
Timeo autem ne sicut serpens Hevam seduxit astutia sua, ita corrumpantur sensus vestri, et excidant a simplicitate, quae est in Christo.
4 For if he that cometh, prechith anothir Crist, whom we precheden not, or if ye taken another spirit, whom ye token not, or another gospel, which ye resseyueden not, riytli ye schulden suffre.
Nam si is, qui venit, alium Christum praedicat, quem non praedicavimus, aut alium spiritum accipitis, quem non accepistis: aut aliud Evangelium, quod non recepistis: recte pateremini.
5 For Y wene that Y haue don no thing lesse than the grete apostlis.
Existimo enim nihil me minus fecisse a magnis Apostolis.
6 For thouy Y be vnlerud in word, but not in kunnyng. For in alle thingis Y am open to you.
Nam etsi imperitus sermone, sed non scientia, in omnibus autem manifestus sum vobis.
7 Or whether Y haue don synne, mekynge my silf, that ye be enhaunsid, for freli Y prechide to you the gospel of God?
Aut numquid peccatum feci, me ipsum humilians, ut vos exaltemini? quoniam gratis Evangelium Dei evangelizavi vobis?
8 Y made nakid othere chirchis, and Y took sowde to youre seruyce.
Alias Ecclesias expoliavi, accipiens stipendium ad ministerium vestrum.
9 And whanne Y was among you, and hadde nede, Y was chargeouse to no man; for britheren that camen fro Macedonye, fulfilliden that that failide to me. And in alle thingis Y haue kept, and schal kepe me with outen charge to you.
Et cum essem apud vos, et egerem; nulli onerosus fui: nam quod mihi deerat, suppleverunt fratres, qui venerunt a Macedonia: et in omnibus sine onere me vobis servavi, et servabo.
10 The treuthe of Crist is in me; for this glorie schal not be brokun in me in the cuntreis of Acaie.
Est veritas Christi in me, quoniam haec gloriatio non infringetur in me in regionibus Achaiae.
11 Whi? for Y loue not you?
Quare? quia non diligo vos? Deus scit.
12 God woot. For that that Y do, and that Y schal do, is that Y kitte awei the occasioun of hem that wolen occasioun, that in the thing, in which thei glorien, thei be foundun as we.
Quod autem facio, et faciam: ut amputem occasionem eorum, qui volunt occasionem, ut in quo gloriantur, inveniantur sicut et nos.
13 For siche false apostlis ben trecherouse werk men, and transfiguren hem in to apostlis of Crist.
Nam eiusmodi pseudoapostoli, sunt operarii subdoli, transfigurantes se in apostolos Christi.
14 And no wondur, for Sathanas hym silf transfigurith hym in to an aungel of light.
Et non mirum: ipse enim satanas transfigurat se in angelum lucis.
15 Therfor it is not greet, if hise mynystris ben transfigurid as the mynystris of riytwisnesse, whos ende schal be aftir her werkis.
non est ergo magnum, si ministri eius transfigurentur velut ministri iustitiae: quorum finis erit secundum opera ipsorum.
16 Eft Y seie, lest ony man gesse me to be vnwise; ellis take ye me as vnwise, that also Y haue glorie a litil what.
Iterum dico, (ne quis me putet insipientem esse, alioquin velut insipientem accipite me, ut et ego modicum quid glorier)
17 That that Y speke, Y speke not aftir God, but as in vnwisdom, in this substaunce of glorie.
quod loquor, non loquor secundum Deum, sed quasi in insipientia, in hac substantia gloriae.
18 For many men glorien aftir the fleisch, and Y schal glorie.
Quoniam multi gloriantur secundum carnem: et ego gloriabor.
19 For ye suffren gladli vnwise men, whanne ye silf ben wise.
Libenter enim suffertis insipientes: cum sitis ipsi sapientes.
20 For ye susteynen, if ony man dryueth you in to seruage, if ony man deuourith, if ony man takith, if ony man is enhaunsid, if ony man smytith you on the face.
Sustinetis enim si quis vos in servitutem redigit, si quis devorat, si quis accipit, si quis extollitur, si quis in faciem vos caedit.
21 Bi vnnoblei Y seie, as if we weren sike in this parti. In what thing ony man dar, in vnwisdom Y seie, and Y dar.
Secundum ignobilitatem dico, quasi nos infirmi fuerimus in hac parte. In quo quis audet (in insipientia dico) audeo et ego:
22 Thei ben Ebrewis, and Y; thei ben Israelitis, and Y; thei ben the seed of Abraham, and Y;
Hebraei sunt, et ego: Israelitae sunt, et ego: Semen Abrahae sunt, et ego:
23 thei ben the mynystris of Crist, and Y. As lesse wise Y seie, Y more; in ful many trauelis, in prisouns more plenteuousli, in woundis aboue maner, in deethis ofte tymes.
Ministri Christi sunt, et ego (ut minus sapiens dico) plus ego: in laboribus plurimis, in carceribus abundantius, in plagis supra modum, in mortibus frequenter.
24 Y resseyuede of the Jewis fyue sithis fourti strokis oon lesse;
A Iudaeis quinquies, quadragenas, una minus, accepi.
25 thries Y was betun with yerdis, onys Y was stonyd, thries Y was at shipbreche, a nyyt and a dai Y was in the depnesse of the see;
Ter virgis caesus sum, semel lapidatus sum, ter naufragium feci, nocte et die in profundo maris fui,
26 in weies ofte, in perelis of floodis, in perelis of theues, in perelis of kyn, in perelis of hethene men, in perelis in citee, in perelis in desert, in perelis in the see, in perelis among false britheren, in trauel and nedynesse,
in itineribus saepe, periculis fluminum, periculis latronum, periculis ex genere, periculis ex Gentibus, periculis in civitate, periculis in solitudine, periculis in mari, periculis in falsis fratribus:
27 in many wakyngis, in hungur, in thirst, in many fastyngis, in coold and nakidnesse.
in labore et aerumna, in vigiliis multis, in fame, et siti, in ieiuniis multis, in frigore, et nuditate,
28 Withouten tho thingis that ben withoutforth, myn ech daies trauelyng is the bisynesse of alle chirchis.
praeter illa, quae extrinsecus sunt, instantia mea quotidiana, solicitudo omnium Ecclesiarum.
29 Who is sijk, and Y am not sijk? who is sclaundrid, and Y am not brent?
Quis infirmatur, et ego non infirmor? quis scandalizatur, et ego non uror?
30 If it bihoueth to glorie, Y schal glorie in tho thingis that ben of myn infirmyte.
Si gloriari oportet: quae infirmitatis meae sunt, gloriabor.
31 God and the fadir of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, that is blessid in to worldis, woot that Y lie not. (aiōn g165)
Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi, qui est benedictus in saecula, scit quod non mentior. (aiōn g165)
32 The preuost of Damask, of the kyng of the folk Arethe, kepte the citee of Damascenes to take me;
Damasci praepositus Gentis Aretae regis, custodiebat civitatem Damascenorum ut me comprehenderet:
33 and bi a wyndow in a leep Y was latun doun bi the wal, and so Y ascapide hise hondis.
et per fenestram in sporta dimissus sum per murum, et sic effugi manus eius.
