< 2 Ndị Kọrint 11 >
1 Ọ ga-adị m mma ma ọ bụrụ na unu ga-anagide m ka m kwuo okwu ndị a dị ka onye nzuzu. Biko nagidenụ m.
I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
2 Ekworo m nwere nʼebe unu nọ bụ ekworo nke Chineke. Ekwere m nkwa iwere unu nye otu di, ya bụ Kraịst, ka m nwe ike chee unu nʼihu ya dịka nwaagbọghọ dị ọcha nke na-amaghị nwoke.
For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you in marriage to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
3 Ma ana m atụ egwu, na dịka agwọ jiri aghụghọ ghọgbuo Iiv, ndị nrafu ga-eji aghụghọ duhie unu, mee ka unu kwụsị iji obi dị ọcha na uche ziri ezi jeere Kraịst ozi.
But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 Nʼihi na unu gaara anara onye ọzọ bịakwutere unu na-ekwusa Jisọs ọzọ nke na-abụghị nke anyị kwusara, unu gaara anarakwa ike nke mmụọ ọzọ dị iche na-abụghị ike nke Mmụọ Nsọ ahụ unu natara, unu gaara ekwenyekwa na nkuzi ọzọ dị iche, na-abụghị oziọma ahụ nke unu natara.
For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news” which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough.
5 Ma echeghị m na ọ dị ụzọ ọbụla ndị ozi a maara aha ha si kara m mma.
For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
6 Ọ bụrụ na m abụghị onye ọka okwu, abụ m onye ọka mmụta. Anyị akọwarala unu nke a ọtụtụ mgbe nʼụzọ dị iche iche nʼihe niile.
But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
7 Ọ ga-abụ na-emere m ihe ọjọọ mgbe m wedara onwe m ala ka e welie unu elu, nʼihi nʼanaghị m unu ihe ọbụla mgbe m na-ekwusara unu oziọma Chineke?
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 Ọ bụ nzukọ nọ nʼebe ọzọ nyeere m aka mgbe m na-arụ ọrụ nʼetiti unu. Ọ bụ site nʼaka ha ka m ji nata nkwado, dịka ụgwọ ọrụ m, ka m nwee ike inyere unu aka.
I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
9 Ma mgbe m nọ nʼetiti unu abụghị m ibu arọ nye onye ọbụla nʼoge mkpa m. Nʼihi na ụmụnna si Masidonia wetaara m ihe niile na-akpa m mkpa. Ebe ọ bụ na m gbalịrị debe onwe m, ka m ghara ịbụ ibu arọ nye unu nʼụzọ ọbụla nʼoge gara aga, agaghị m abụkwa ibu arọ nye unu nʼoge dị nʼihu.
When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t 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 Ebe eziokwu nke Kraịst dị nʼime m, ịnya isi m nke a agaghị akwụsị na mpaghara Akaịa niile.
As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11 Nʼihi gịnị? Ọ bụ nʼihi na m ahụghị unu nʼanya? Chineke maara na m hụrụ unu nʼanya.
Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.
12 Ma aga m aga nʼihu na-arụ ọrụ m na-achọghị ka unu nyere m aka nʼụzọ ọbụla ka m si otu a mee ka ndị ahụ na-akpọ onwe ha ndị ozi ghara ịnya isi kwuokwa na ha na-arụ ọrụ dịka anyị si arụ ọrụ anyị nʼetiti unu.
But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity, that in which they boast, they may be recognised just like us.
13 Nʼihi na ndị dị otu a bụ ndị ozi ụgha, ndị ọrụ aghụghọ, ndị na-eme onwe ha ka ha bụ ndị ozi Kraịst.
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.
14 Ma omume ha adịghị eju m anya, nʼihi na ekwensu gbanwere onwe ya dịrị ka mmụọ ozi na-enye ìhè.
And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
15 Ya mere, ọ bụghị ihe iju anya ma ọ bụrụ na ndị na-ejere ya ozi emee onwe ha dịka ndị na-eje ozi ụzọ ezi omume. Ma nʼọgwụgwụ oge, ha ga-anata ụgwọ dịka ọrụ ha si dị.
It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
16 Dịka m kwuru na mbụ, ka onye ọbụla ghara iche na m bụ onye na-enweghị uche. Ọ bụrụkwarị na unu na-eche ụdị echiche a, biko naranụ m dịka onye na-enweghị uche, ka m nwee ike ịnya isi nke nta dịka ndị ọzọ si eme.
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 Ma nʼihe m dabeere na-anya isi, adịghị m ekwu okwu dịka Onyenwe anyị ga-ekwu, maọbụ dịka onye na-enweghị uche.
That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
18 Ebe ọtụtụ mmadụ na-anya isi banyere ihe ha bụ nʼụzọ ụwa si eme. Mụ onwe m ga-anyakwa isi.
Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
19 Unu were obi ụtọ na-anagide ndị na-enweghị uche, ebe unu onwe unu nwere uche.
For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
20 Unu na-anagide ya ma ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla eme unu ndị ohu ha, maọbụ jiri anya ike nakọrọ unu ihe unu nwere, maọbụ ghọgbuo unu, maọbụ bulie onwe ya elu dịka ha karịrị unu, maọbụ maa unu uraa nʼihu.
For you bear with a man if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, or if he strikes you on the face.
21 Nʼezie, ọ bụ ihere m, ịnabata na anyị bụ ndị na-adịghị ike nʼezie nye nke a. Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla anwaa anwaa nyaa isi nʼihe ọbụla (ana m ekwu dịka onye nʼenweghị uche), mụ onwe m ga-anyakwa isi.
To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
22 Ha bụ ndị Hibru? Mụ onwe m bụkwa ya. Ha bụ ndị Izrel? Mụ onwe m bụkwa ya. Ha bụ ndị agbụrụ Ebraham? Mụ onwe m bụkwa.
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
23 Ha bụ ndị na-ejere Kraịst ozi? (Ana m ekwu dịka onye anya na-adịghị mma.) Ma mụ onwe m ejela ozi karịa. Adọgbuola m onwe m nʼọrụ karịa ha niile. Etinyela m nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ọtụtụ mgbe, tinyere ọtụtụ ihe otiti, mgbe mgbe anọọla m nʼọnụ ọnwụ.
Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labours more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.
24 Ugboro ise ka ndị Juu pịara m ọnụ ụtarị iri anọ e wepụrụ otu.
Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.
25 E jirila okporo igwe tie m ugboro atọ. Atụrụ m nkume otu ugboro. Ugboro atọ ka ụgbọ mmiri m nọ nʼime ya kpuru nʼoke osimiri. Anọọla m otu abalị na ụbọchị so ya nʼelu oke osimiri ebe mmiri na-ebugharị m.
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 Ejeela m ọtụtụ ogologo ije nke ọtụtụ ihe ize ndụ dị nʼime ya. Nʼize ndụ site nʼosimiri, ize ndụ site na ndị na-apụnarị mmadụ ihe nʼike, ize ndụ site nʼaka ndị obodo nke aka m. Ọtụtụ mgbe ka m zere ndụ site nʼaka ndị mba ọzọ, nʼime obodo ukwu, nʼọzara ma nʼoke osimiri; na nʼaka ndị kpọrọ onwe ha ụmụnna m, ma ha bụ ndị ụgha.
I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils amongst false brothers;
27 Adọgbuola m onwe m nʼọrụ, anọọla m nʼọnọdụ ịhụju anya na ịmụ anya ọtụtụ abalị. Ọtụtụ mgbe ana m anọ agụụ na-erighị ihe ọbụla, maọbụ ịṅụ ihe ọbụla. Anọọla m ọtụtụ mgbe nʼoge oyi na-ama jijiji nʼihi enweghị uwe dị mma m ji achụ oyi.
in labour and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
28 Ma e wezuga ihe ndị a niile, ana m anọ nʼechiche mgbe niile banyere otu ihe niile si aga nʼime nzukọ.
Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.
29 Onye bụ onye ahụ na-adịghị ike nke m na-adịghị eso ya kere oke na-adịghị ike ya? Onye ka e dubara na mmehie nke ọnọdụ ya na-adịghị emetụ m nʼobi?
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’t burn with indignation?
30 Kama ọ bụrụ na o kwesiri ka m nyaa isi aga m anya isi banyere ihe ndị ahụ na-egosi adịghị ike m.
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
31 Chineke, na Nna nke Onyenwe anyị Jisọs, onye e kwesiri ito aha ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, maara na ihe ndị a niile m na-ekwu bụ eziokwu. (aiōn )
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed forever more, knows that I don’t lie. (aiōn )
32 Nʼobodo Damaskọs, onye ọchịchị ala ahụ nke eze obodo ahụ a na-akpọ Aretas họpụtara, ndị na-eche obodo Damaskọs nche ka ha jide m.
In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the Damascenes’ city, desiring to arrest me.
33 Ma e tinyere m nʼime nkata, site nʼoghere dị na mgbidi gbara obodo ahụ gburugburu wedata m, m gbanarị ya.
I was let down in a basket through a window by the wall, and escaped his hands.
