Korintotɔwo 2 11
1 Mexɔ se be miagbɔ dzi ɖi ase nye movinya siwo gblɔm mele na mi. Miɖo to ne magblɔ nye dzimenyawo na mi.
O that ye tolerated a little of my foolishness, but tolerate me too.
2 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.
For I am jealous for you with a jealousy of God. For I betrothed you to one husband, a pure virgin to present to the Christ.
3 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.
But I fear lest somehow, as the serpent enticed Eve by his craftiness, so your thoughts might be corrupted from the simplicity in the Christ.
4 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.
For indeed if a man who comes, preaches another Jesus whom we did not preach, or ye receive another spirit that ye did not receive, or another good news that ye did not accept, ye well tolerated it.
5 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.
For I reckon to come short in nothing of those, superlative apostles.
6 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.
But even if I am unskilled in speech, yet not in knowledge, but in everything made known in all things to you.
7 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?
Or did I commit a sin lowering myself so that ye might be lifted up, because I preached to you the good news of God freely?
8 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.
I robbed other congregations, having taken a wage in order for your service.
9 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.
And being present with you, and when needy, I was a burden to no man. For the brothers who came from Macedonia, they supplied my need. And in everything I kept and I will keep myself non-burdensome to you.
10 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.
The truth of Christ is in me that this pride in me will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.
11 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.
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.
12 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.
But what I do, I also will do, so that I may cut off the opportunity of those who desire an opportunity, that in what they boast, they might appear just as we also.
13 Nenɔ nyanya me na mi be menye Mawue dɔ aʋatsopostolo mawo o. Alakpatɔwo wonye, eye wodze agbagba ble mi be Kristo ƒe apostolowo yewonye.
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves into apostles of Christ.
14 Esia mewɔ nuku nam o, elabena Satana ŋutɔ hã tea ŋu trɔa eɖokui ɣe aɖewo ɣi abe Mawudɔla ene.
And no marvel, for even Satan disguises himself into an agent of light.
15 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.
Therefore, it is no great thing if his helpers also disguise themselves as helpers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
16 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.
I say again, let not any man think me to be foolish, but if otherwise-even if as foolish-accept me, so that I also may boast some a little.
17 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.
What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of the boast.
18 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.
Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast.
19 Miebe nunyalawoe yewonye, gake mieɖoa to bometsinyawo dzidzɔtɔe.
For being wise, ye gladly tolerate the foolish.
20 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.
For ye tolerate it if some man enslaves you, if some man devours you, if some man seizes you, if some man lifts himself up, if some man strikes you on the face.
21 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.
I speak as from shame, that we were so weak. Yet in whatever any man may be bold in foolishness, I say I too am bold.
22 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.
Are they Hebrews? I too. Are they Israelites? I too. Are they a seed of Abraham? I too.
23 (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.
Are they helpers of Christ? (I speak as being mad) I more: in toils, more abundantly; in stripes, countless; in prisons, more frequently; in deaths often.
24 Yudatɔwo ƒom zi atɔ̃ sɔŋ eye le ƒoƒo ɖe sia ɖe me la, woƒom zi blaetɔ̃-vɔ-asiekɛ.
From the Jews five times I received forty save one.
25 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.
Thrice I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I was shipwrecked, I have done a night and a day in the depth,
26 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.
in frequent journeys, in perils of flowing waters, in perils of bandits, in perils from my race, in perils from Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils at sea, in perils among false brothers,
27 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.
in toil and hardship, in frequent sleeplessness, in hunger and thirst, in frequent fasts, in cold and nakedness.
28 Hekpe ɖe nu siawo ŋuti la, metsina dzodzodzoe enuenu tso hamewo ƒe tsitsi ɖe edzi ŋuti.
Besides the external things, crowding upon me daily is the care of all the congregations.
29 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.
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I am not made fiery?
30 Azɔ ne medi be maƒo adegbe la, ɖeko maƒoe le nu siwo nana be ŋusẽ mele ŋunye o la ŋu.
If it is necessary to boast, I will boast of the things of my weakness.
31 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)
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed into the ages, knows that I do not lie. (aiōn g165)
32 Esi menɔ Damasko la, fia Areta ɖo asrafowo dua ƒe agbowo nu be woalém,
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes wanting to apprehend me.
33 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.
And I was lowered in a hamper through a window through the wall, and escaped his hands.
