2 Akorinitho 11
1 Nĩngwĩhoka nĩmũgũkirĩrĩria ũrimũ ũrĩa mũnini ndĩ naguo; ndamũthaitha mũngirĩrĩrie.
BUT I could desire that you could tolerate me a little that I may speak foolishly.
2 Nĩndĩraigua ũiru nĩ ũndũ wanyu, ũiru uumanĩte na ũngai. Ndamwĩrĩire o mũthuuri ũmwe, na nĩwe Kristũ, nĩgeetha ngaamũneana kũrĩ we mũrĩ ta mũirĩtu gathirange.
Nevertheless tolerate me, for I am zealous towards you with the zeal of Aloha; for I have betrothed you to one man, a pure virgin, whom I would bring unto the Meshiha.
3 No ndĩ na guoya gũtigatuĩke atĩ meciiria manyu no maturuurio mũtiganĩrie ũgima na ũtheru wa kwĩrutĩra Kristũ, o ta ũrĩa Hawa aaheenekire nĩ nyoka na wara wayo.
But I fear lest, as the serpent deceived 'Hava by his guile, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is toward the Meshiha.
4 Inyuĩ nĩmwamũkagĩra ũhoro ũngĩ mũkenete, mũndũ o wothe angĩmũhunjĩria ũhoro wa Jesũ ũngĩ tiga Jesũ ũrĩa twamũhunjĩirie, kana mũngĩamũkĩra roho ũngĩ tiga Roho ũrĩa mwamũkĩrire, o na kana mũgetĩkia ũhoro-mwega ũngĩ tiga ũrĩa mwetĩkirie.
For if he who hath come to you shall preach to you another Jeshu, whom we have not preached, or you receive another Spirit which you have not received or another gospel which you have not accepted, you would have been well persuaded.
5 No ndigwĩciiria atĩ ndĩ mũnini o na hanini kũrĩ “atũmwo acio anene.”
For I consider that I am nothing inferior to those apostles who are most excellent.
6 No ngorwo itarĩ mũrute ũhoro-inĩ wa kwaria, no ndĩ na ũmenyo. Nĩtũmũmenyithĩtie maũndũ maya wega na njĩra ciothe.
For if I am rude in my speech, I yet am not in my knowledge; but in every thing we are manifest among you.
7 Hihi nĩ kwĩhia ndeehirie nĩ kwĩnyiihia nĩguo ndĩmũtũũgĩrie inyuĩ na ũndũ wa kũmũhunjĩria Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Ngai hatarĩ irĩhi?
Or, offending have I offended in humbling myself that you may be exalted, and have gratuitously preached to you the gospel of Aloha?
8 Nĩgũtunya ndaatunyaga makanitha mangĩ ngĩamũkĩra ũteithio kuuma kũrĩ o nĩguo hote kũmũtungata.
And other churches have I despoiled, receiving of them expenses, for your service.
9 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaarĩ na inyuĩ, ndabatario nĩ kĩndũ-rĩ, ndiatuĩkaga mũrigo harĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, nĩgũkorwo ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ moka kuuma Makedonia nĩmaheire indo cia kũigana mabataro makwa. Nĩndĩgirĩrĩirie ndigatuĩke mũrigo kũrĩ inyuĩ na njĩra o yothe, na nĩngũthiĩ na mbere gwĩka ũguo.
And being come among you, I burdened no man of you; for my want the brethren who came from Makedunia supplied: and in every thing have I kept myself, and will keep, that I may not be burdensome to you.
10 Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa ũhoro wa ma wa Kristũ ũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa, gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũ thĩinĩ wa ngʼongo cia Akaia ũngĩngiria ndĩrahe ũguo.
The truth of the Meshiha is in me, that this boasting shall not be abolished respecting me in the regions of Akaia.
11 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũma njuge ũguo? Nĩ tondũ ndimwendete? Ngai nĩoĩ atĩ nĩndĩmwendete!
Why? because I love you not? Aloha himself knoweth!
12 Na nĩngũthiĩ na mbere na gwĩka ũrĩa ndĩreka, nĩguo njagithie kĩene andũ arĩa macaragia mweke wa kuoneka atĩ nĩmaiganaine na ithuĩ, thĩinĩ wa maũndũ marĩa merahaga namo.
But I do this, and also will do it, to cut off the occasion of them who seek an occasion, that in the thing in which they boast they may be found as we are.
13 Nĩgũkorwo andũ ta acio nĩ atũmwo a maheeni, aruti wĩra a kũhĩtithia andũ, na metuaga atũmwo a Kristũ.
For these are apostles of falsehood and workers of deceits, assimilating themselves to the apostles of the Meshiha.
14 Naguo ũndũ ũcio ti wa kũmakania, nĩgũkorwo o na Shaitani o nake nĩetuaga mũraika wa ũtheri.
Nor in this may we wonder, if Satana himself be transformed into an angel of light.
15 Ndũkĩrĩ ũndũ wa kũgegania ndungata ciake cingĩĩtua ndungata cia ũthingu. Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ makaagĩa na kĩrĩa kĩringaine na ciĩko ciao.
Nor is it a great thing if his ministers also are transformed into ministers of righteousness; -whose end will be according to their works.
16 Nĩnguuga o rĩngĩ atĩrĩ: Mũndũ ndakae kuona ta ndĩ kĩrimũ. No angĩkorwo nĩguo mũkuona-rĩ, kĩnyamũkĩrei o ta ũrĩa mũngĩamũkĩra kĩrimũ, nĩguo ndĩĩrahe o hanini.
BUT I say again, Let no man think of me as a fool; or if otherwise, let him receive me as a fool, that I also may boast a little.
17 Ũhoro-inĩ wa mwĩraho ũyũ ndĩ naguo-rĩ, ndiraaria ta ũrĩa Mwathani angĩaria, no ndĩraaria o ta ũrĩa kĩrimũ kĩngĩaria.
The thing which I (now) speak, I do not speak in our Lord, but as in foolishness in this place of boasting.
18 Kuona atĩ andũ aingĩ nĩmareraha ta ũrĩa thĩ ĩĩrahaga-rĩ, o na niĩ ngwĩraha o tao.
Because many boast in the flesh, I also will boast.
19 Tondũ inyuĩ mũkĩrĩ oogĩ-rĩ, nĩmũkiragĩrĩria arĩa irimũ mũkenete!
For you are content to listen to the feebleminded, you yourselves being wise.
20 Ti-itherũ, nĩmũkiragĩrĩria mũndũ o wothe o na angĩmũtua ngombo ciake, kana ũrĩa ũkũmũhatĩrĩria, kana ũrĩa ũkũrĩa indo cianyu, kana ũrĩa ũgwĩtũũgĩria mbere yanyu, o na kana ũrĩa ũkũmũhũũra hĩ.
For you are ruled by one who subjugates you, and by one who devours you, and by one who takes away from you, and by one who exalts himself over you, and by one who smites you on your faces!
21 Nĩngũconoka ngiuga atĩ ithuĩ nĩtwaremirwo nĩ gwĩka maũndũ ta macio! Ũndũ ũrĩa mũndũ ũngĩ angĩhota kwĩraha nĩ ũndũ waguo-rĩ, ndĩkĩarie ta ndĩ kĩrimũ-rĩ, o na niĩ no ngĩgerie kwĩraha nĩ ũndũ waguo.
As in abasement I speak; as though we were weak through defectiveness of mind, I speak. In whatever any man dareth, I also dare.
22 Andũ acio nĩ Ahibirania? O na niĩ ndĩ Mũhibirania. Andũ acio nĩ Aisiraeli? O na niĩ ndĩ Mũisiraeli. Andũ acio nĩ njiaro cia Iburahĩmu? O na niĩ ndĩ wa rũciaro rwa Iburahĩmu.
If they are Ebroyee, so am I; if they are Isroloyee, so am I; if they are the seed of Abraham, so am I;
23 Andũ acio nĩ ndungata cia Kristũ? (Ngwaria ũguo ta ndĩ mũgũrũku.) Niĩ nĩndĩmakĩrĩte. Nĩndutĩte wĩra na kĩyo kũmakĩra, na ngaikio njeera mahinda maingĩ makĩria yao, na ngahũũrwo na kĩboko makĩria, o na mahinda maingĩ ndanakuhĩrĩria gũkua.
if they are ministers of the Meshiha, -I speak with defectiveness of mind, -I exceed then! In labours I exceed them, in stripes I exceed them, in chains I exceed them, in deaths many times.
24 Ayahudi nĩmahũũrire na kĩboko maita matano, o ihinda iboko mĩrongo ĩtatũ na kenda.
From the Jihudoyee, five times, forty (stripes) wanting one have I devoured;
25 Nĩndahũũrirwo na thanju maita matatũ, na riita rĩmwe ngĩhũũrwo na mahiga nyuguto, na maita matatũ ndanathũkĩrwo nĩ marikabu ndĩ thĩinĩ, na ngĩraara o na ngĩtinda iria-inĩ ũtukũ ũmwe na mũthenya mũgima.
three times with staves have I been beaten, once was I stoned, three times have I been in shipwreck, a day and a night without a ship have I been in the sea.
26 Ngoretwo ngĩthiĩ ngʼendo nyingĩ. Ngagĩkorwo ndĩ ũgwati-inĩ wa gũtwarwo nĩ njũũĩ, na ũgwati-inĩ wa atunyani, na ũgwati-inĩ wa gũũkĩrĩrwo nĩ andũ a rũrĩrĩ rwitũ, na ũgwati-inĩ wa gũũkĩrĩrwo nĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ; na ngoona ũgwati ndĩ matũũra-inĩ manene, na ndĩ thĩinĩ wa bũrũri, na ndĩ iria-inĩ; o na ũgwati wa andũ arĩa maheenanagia atĩ nĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ.
In journeys many, in danger of rivers, in danger of robbers, in danger from my own race, in danger from the Gentiles; I have been in danger in cities, I have been in danger in the waste, in danger by sea, in danger from false brethren;
27 Ndaanaruta wĩra mũritũ na wa mĩnoga, na maita maingĩ ngaagaga toro; ndaanakorwo na ngʼaragu na nyoota, na maita maingĩ ngaaga kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa; ndaanakorwo heho-inĩ na ndĩ njaga.
in labour and weariness, in much watching, in hunger and thirst, in much fasting, in cold and in nakedness;
28 Hamwe na macio mothe-rĩ, o mũthenya ngoragwo na mũrigo, ngĩĩtanga nĩ ũndũ wa makanitha mothe.
besides the aboundings and the gathering which are upon me daily even my care which is for all the churches.
29 Nũũ ũngĩkorwo aagĩte hinya, na niĩ njage gũkorwo njũrĩtwo nĩ hinya? Nũũ ũngĩhĩngithio, na niĩ njage gũkorwo ngĩcinwo nĩ marakara?
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is offended, and I burn not?
30 Angĩkorwo no nginya ndĩĩrahe, ngwĩrahĩra maũndũ marĩa monanagia ũrĩa itarĩ na hinya.
If I must boast in my infirmities, I will boast.
31 Ngai, na nowe Ithe wa Mwathani Jesũ, ũrĩa ũgoocagwo nginya tene-rĩ, nĩoĩ atĩ ndiraheenania. (aiōn g165)
Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, the Blessed for ever and ever, knoweth that I lie not. (aiōn g165)
32 Kũu Dameski, barũthi ũrĩa waathanaga arĩ rungu rwa Mũthamaki Areta-rĩ, nĩathanire itũũra inene rĩa andũ a Dameski rĩrangĩrwo nĩgeetha aanyiitithie.
In Darmsuk the great force of Aretos the king kept the city of the Darmsukoyee to apprehend me.
33 No nĩndoimĩirio ndirica, ngĩikũrũkĩrio rũthingo-inĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wa gĩkabũ, ngĩhonoka kũnyiitwo nĩwe.
And from a window in a basket they sent me from the wall, and I was delivered from his hands.
