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.
I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
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 over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Meshikha.
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 am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Khawa in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the sincerity and purity that is in the Meshikha.
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 if he who comes preaches another Yeshua, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different "good news", which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.
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 that I am not at all behind the very best 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.
Even though I am unskilled in speech, I am not unskilled in knowledge. But in every way we have made this known to you in all things.
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 in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God's Good News free of charge?
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, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
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.
When I was present with you and was in need, I was not 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.
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.
As the truth of Meshikha is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting 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, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we.
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 people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Meshikha's apostles.
14 Esia mewɔ nuku nam o, elabena Satana ŋutɔ hã tea ŋu trɔa eɖokui ɣe aɖewo ɣi abe Mawudɔla ene.
And no wonder, for even Satana masquerades as an angel 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.
It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants 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 no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast 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.
That which I speak, I do not speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
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.
Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
19 Miebe nunyalawoe yewonye, gake mieɖoa to bometsinyawo dzidzɔtɔe.
For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
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 you put up with it if someone makes slaves of you, if someone exploits you, if someone takes advantage of you, if someone exalts himself, if someone 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 by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet however any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
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? So am I. Are they Israyelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Avraham? So am I.
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 servants of Meshikha? (I speak as one beside himself) I am more so; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often.
24 Yudatɔwo ƒom zi atɔ̃ sɔŋ eye le ƒoƒo ɖe sia ɖe me la, woƒom zi blaetɔ̃-vɔ-asiekɛ.
Five times from the Jews I received forty stripes minus 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.
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.
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.
I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from those who are not Jews, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, 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 labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
28 Hekpe ɖe nu siawo ŋuti la, metsina dzodzodzoe enuenu tso hamewo ƒe tsitsi ɖe edzi ŋuti.
Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily, anxiety for 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 do not burn with indignation?
30 Azɔ ne medi be maƒo adegbe la, ɖeko maƒoe le nu siwo nana be ŋusẽ mele ŋunye o la ŋu.
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern 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 Yeshua, he who is blessed forevermore, 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, desiring to arrest 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.
Through a window I was let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
