2 Koriniti 11
1 Ko taku e hiahia nei kia ata hanga mai koutou ki ahau, kia iti nei, i ahau e wairangi nei: ae ra, kia ata hanga mai ano ki ahau.
I wish you could bear with me a little in my folly; but yet bear with me:
2 Nui atu hoki toku ngakau ki a koutou, he ngakau no te Atua: kua oti hoki koutou te taumau e ahau ma te tane kotahi, kia tapaea atu ai hei wahine kore he ki a te Karaiti.
for I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 E wehi ana ia ahau, kei pera me Iwi i whakawaia e te tinihanga o te nakahi, kei kumea atu o koutou whakaaro ki te he, kei mahue te tapatahi o te ngakau ki a te Karaiti.
But I fear lest, as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity which pertains to Christ.
4 Ki te tae atu hoki te tangata, me te kauwhau i tetahi Ihu e rere ke ana i ta matou i kauwhau ai, ki te whiwhi ranei koutou i tetahi wairua ke atu i tena i whiwhi na koutou, ki tetahi rongopai ranei e rere ke ana i ta koutou i whakaae ai, e tika a na koutou kia ata hanga ki a ia.
For if he that comes should preach another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or, if you receive another Spirit, which you did not receive, or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you would well bear with him.
5 Ki ahau hoki kahore rawa ahau i hoki iho i nga tino apotoro.
I count myself indeed to be in no respect inferior to the very greatest of the apostles.
6 Na, ahakoa tangata ware ahau kite korero, kahore ia ki te matauranga; heoi i nga mea katoa kua tino kitea tenei i roto i a koutou.
But if I am unpolished in my style of speech, yet I am not so in knowledge. But we have been fully manifested among you in all things.
7 I hara oti ahau i ahau i whakaiti ra i ahau kia kake ai koutou, i kauwhau utukore ra i te rongopai o te Atua ki a koutou?
Have I committed a sin, in making myself lowly, that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel to you without cost?
8 I pahuatia e ahau era atu hahi, i tango utu ahau i a ratou kia minita ai ahau ki a koutou.
I robbed other churches, taking wages to do you service: and when I was present with you, and wanted, I was not a burden to any one;
9 A i ahau i a koutou na, a i kore tetahi mea maku, kahore ahau i taimaha ki tetahi: na nga teina hoki, i to ratou haerenga mai i Makeronia, i whakawhiwhi ahau ki nga mea i kore i ahau: i nga mea katoa hoki i tiaki ahau i ahau kei taimaha iho ki a koutou; ina, ka tiaki pera ano ahau i ahau.
for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied my wants; and in every thing I have kept myself from being burdensome to you, and will continue to keep myself.
10 I te mea kei ahau te pono o te Karaiti, e kore tenei whakamanamana aku e araia e tetahi i nga wahi o Akaia.
As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting shall not be silenced, in my case, in the regions of Achaia.
11 Na te aha? na te mea koia kahore oku aroha ki a koutou? e matau ana te Atua.
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.
12 Ko taku ia e mea nei, e meinga ano e ahau, kia motuhia atu ai e ahau te take a te hunga e hiahia ana ki te take; kia kitea ai ratou i runga i ta ratou e whakamanamana nei e rite tahi ana ano ki a matou nei.
But what I am doing I will also continue to do, that I may cut off occasion from those who desire an occasion, that in what they boast, they may be found even as we.
13 He apotoro teka hoki nga pera, he kaimahi i te tinihanga, e whakaahua ana i a ratou kia rite ki nga apotoro a te Karaiti.
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ;
14 A ehara i te mea whakamiharo rawa; ina hoki a Hatana, e whakaahua ke ana i a ia hei anahera mo te marama.
and no wonder, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Heoi ehara i te mea nui ki te whakaahua ke ano ana minita i a ratou kia rite ki nga minita o te tika; na, ko to ratou whakamutunga e rite ki a ratou mahi.
Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves so as to be like the ministers of righteousness; of such, the end shall be according to their works.
16 Me ki atu ano e ahau, Kaua tetahi e mea he wairangi ahau; a, ahakoa pena, heoi tahuri mai ki ahau, ki te wairangi, kia whakamanamana ai ano ahau, he mea iti nei.
I say again, let no one think that I am without understanding; but if so, even as one without understanding bear with me, that I also may boast a little.
17 Ko taku e korero nei, ehara i te korero i runga i ta te Ariki, engari me te mea i runga i te wairangi, i tenei whakamanamana ka kaha nei.
What I say, I say not according to the Lord, but as in folly, in this same confidence of boasting.
18 Na, ka tokomaha nei e whakamanamana i runga i to te kikokiko, ka whakamanamana ano hoki ahau.
Since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast.
19 E pai ana hoki koutou, e ata hanga ana ki te hunga wairangi, he hunga whakaaro hoki koutou.
For it is a pleasure to you to bear with men of no understanding, since you yourselves are wise.
20 Ka ata hanga hoki koutou ki te whakataurekareka tetahi i a koutou, ki te pau a koutou mea i tetahi, ki te tangohia e ia hei herehere, ki te whakakake ia, ki te pahiatia e ia to koutou mata.
For you bear it, if one enslave you, if one devour you, if one take from you, if one exalt himself, if one smite you on the face,
21 He korero whakaiti taku, ano he ngoikore matou. Na, ki te maia tetahi ki tetahi mea; he korero wairangi nei taku, ka maia ano ahau.
I speak of their reproaches, as if we were weak. In whatever matter any one is bold, (I speak foolishly, ) I also am bold.
22 He Hiperu ratou? ahau ano hoki. No Iharaira ratou? ahau ano hoki. He whanau ratou na Aperahama? pera ano hoki ahau.
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they of the posterity of Abraham? So am I.
23 He minita ratou na te Karaiti? He korero porangi taku nei, tera atu ano toku; hira atu oku mauiuitanga, maha noa atu oku meatanga ki roto ki nga whare herehere, nui noa atu oku whiunga, maha atu oku mate.
Are they ministers of Christ? (I say it foolishly, ) I am above them. In labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often.
24 E rima nga wa i whiua ai ahau e nga Hurai, e wha tekau panga o te whiu, haunga te kotahi.
From the Jews, five times I received forty stripes, save one;
25 E toru oku whiunga ki te rakau, kotahi toku akinga ki te kohatu, tuatoru ahau ki te kaipuke pakaru, kotahi oku po, kotahi oku ra i te rire;
three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I have been shipwrecked; a night and a day I spent in the deep.
26 I nga haereerenga maha, i nga oranga noatanga i nga awa, i nga oranga noatanga i nga kaipahua, i nga oranga noatanga i oku whanaunga, i nga oranga noatanga i nga tauiwi, i nga oranga noatanga i te pa, i nga oranga noatanga i te koraha, i nga ora nga noatanga i te moana, i nga oranga noatanga i nga teina teka;
In journeyings often, in perils from rivers, in perils from robbers, in perils from my own race, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the desert, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
27 Mauiui ana, ngenge ana, he maha nga mataaratanga, nga matekaitanga, nga matewaitanga, he maha nga wa i nohopuku ai, i matao ai, i kore ai he kakahu.
in weariness and in toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness:
28 Hei tapiri mo nga mea o waho, ko te mea e pehi nei i ahau i tenei ra, i tenei ra, ko te manukanuka ki nga hahi katoa.
besides those things which come upon me from other sources, I have a daily concourse of troubles―my anxiety for all the churches.
29 Ko wai te ngoikore ana, a kahore ahau e ngoikore? ko wai kua tutuki te waewae, a kahore ahau e pawerawera?
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I am not incensed?
30 Ki te takoto te tikanga kia whakamanamana ahau, me whakamanamana ahau ki toku ngoikoretanga.
If I must boast, I will boast in my infirmities.
31 E matau ana te Atua, te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu, koia nei te whakapaingia ana ake tonu atu, kahore aku teka. (aiōn g165)
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knows that I do not lie. (aiōn g165)
32 I Ramahiku e tiakina ana e te kawana i raro i a Kingi Areta te pa o nga tangata o Ramahiku, he mea kia hopukina ai ahau:
In Damascus, the governor under Aretas the king, guarded the city of the Damascenes, desiring to apprehend me:
33 Heoi tukua iho ana ahau i roto i te kete, ra te matapihi, ra te taiepa kohatu, a mawhiti atu ana i roto i ona ringa.
and through a window I was let down in a basket through the wall, and escaped his hands.
