2 Corinthians 11
1 Mo rò wí pé ẹ ó faradà díẹ̀ nínú ìwà òmùgọ̀ mi ṣùgbọ́n bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, mo fẹ́ kí ẹ gbà mí láàyè.
I wish ye would bear with me a little in my folly; and indeed bear with me.
2 Nítorí pé èmi ń jowú lórí i yín bí ẹni ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run, nítorí tí mo ti fì yín fún ọkọ kan, kí èmi bà á lè mú yín wá bí wúńdíá tí ó mọ́ sọ́dọ̀ Kristi.
For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy, having espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀rù ń bà mí, kí ó má bà á jẹ́ pé, bí ejò ti tan Efa jẹ́ nípasẹ̀ àrékérekè rẹ̀, a lè mú ọkàn yín ṣáko lọ kúrò nínú òtítọ́ yín àti ìfarajì fún Kristi.
But I fear least as the serpent seduced Eve by his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the purity that is in Christ.
4 Nítorí bí ẹnìkan bá wá tí ó sì wàásù Jesu mìíràn, yàtọ̀ sí èyí tí a ti wàásù rí tàbí bí ẹ̀yin bá gba ẹ̀mí mìíràn, yàtọ̀ sí èyí tí ẹ ti gbà tàbí ìyìnrere mìíràn yàtọ̀ sí èyí tí ẹ ti gbà, tí ẹ sì ti yára tẹ́wọ́ gbà á.
For if he, that cometh to you, preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached; or if ye receive another Spirit which ye have not received, or another gospel which ye have not embraced, ye might indeed bear with him.
5 Nítorí mo rò pé èmi kò rẹ̀yìn nínú ohunkóhun sí àwọn àgbà Aposteli.
For I think I was not inferior to the very chiefest apostles: and if I am unskilled in speech,
6 Bí mo tilẹ̀ jẹ́ òpè nínú ọ̀rọ̀ sísọ, kì í ṣe nínú ìmọ̀; ní ọ̀nàkọnà ni àwa ti fi èyí hàn dájúdájú fún yín nínú ohun gbogbo.
yet not in knowledge ---but we have been fully manifested among you in all things.
7 Tàbí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni mo dá bí èmi ti ń rẹ ara mí sílẹ̀ kí a lè gbé yín ga, nítorí tí mo wàásù ìyìnrere Ọlọ́run fún un yín lọ́fẹ̀ẹ́.
Have I committed an offence in humbling myself that ye might be exalted? and in that I have preached the gospel of God to you gratis?
8 Èmí ń ja ìjọ mìíràn ni olè nípa gbígba ìpèsè owó ki èmi bà á lè sìn yín.
I trespassed on other churches, receiving maintenance from them for your service.
9 Nígbà tí mo sì wà pẹ̀lú yín, tí mo sì ṣe aláìní, èmi kò dẹ́rù pa ẹnikẹ́ni, nítorí ohun tí mo ṣe aláìní ni àwọn ará tí ó ti Makedonia wá ti mú wá. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nínú ohun gbogbo mo pa ara mi mọ́ láti má ṣe jẹ́ ẹrù fún yín, èmi yóò sì pa ara mi mọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀.
And when I was present among you, and in want, I was chargeable to no one. For the brethren that came from Macedonia supplied my want: and in every thing I have kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.
10 Ó jẹ́ òtítọ́, Kristi tí ń bẹ nínú mi pé kò sí ẹni tí ó lè dá mi lẹ́kun ìṣògo yìí ni gbogbo ẹkùn Akaia.
As the truth of Christ is in me, this boast shall not be taken from me in the regions of Achaia.
11 Nítorí kín ni? Nítorí èmi kò fẹ́ràn yín ni bí? Ọlọ́run mọ̀.
Wherefore? because I love you not?
12 Èmi yóò tẹ̀síwájú láti máa ṣe ohun ti èmi ń ṣe láti le mú ìjákulẹ̀ bá àwọn tí wọn ń wá ọ̀nà láti bá wa dọ́gba nínú èyí ti àwa ń ṣògo lé lórí.
God knoweth. But what I do, I will do, that I may cut off occasion from those that desire an occasion of boasting or censure, that in what they boast of they may be found to do even as we do.
13 Nítorí irú àwọn ènìyàn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn èké Aposteli àwọn ẹni ti ń ṣiṣẹ́ ẹ̀tàn, tí ń pa wọ́n dà di aposteli Kristi.
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transformed into apostles of Christ.
14 Kì í sì í ṣe ohun ìyanu; nítorí Satani, tìkára rẹ̀ ń pa ara rẹ̀ dàbí angẹli ìmọ́lẹ̀.
And no wonder: for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Nítorí náà kì í ṣe ohun ńlá bí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú bá pa ara wọn dàbí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ òdodo; ìgbẹ̀yìn àwọn ẹni tí yóò rí gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ wọn.
It is therefore no great thing, if his ministers also be transformed into ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
16 Mo sì tún wí pé, kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ṣe rò pé òmùgọ̀ ni mí; ṣùgbọ́n bí bẹ́ẹ̀ bá ni, ẹ gbà mí bí òmùgọ̀ kí èmi lè gbé ara mi ga díẹ̀.
I say again, let no one think me foolish herein; but if they do, yet bear with my weakness, that I also may boast a little.
17 Ohun tí èmi ń sọ, èmi kò sọ ọ́ nípa ti Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n bí òmùgọ̀ nínú ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé ìṣògo yìí.
What I speak I speak not as from the Lord, but as in weakness, in this confidence of boasting.
18 Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, ni ó ń ṣògo nípa ti ara, èmi ó ṣògo pẹ̀lú.
Since many boast in the flesh, I will boast also.
19 Nítorí ẹ̀yin fi inú dídùn gba àwọn òmùgọ̀ nígbà tí ẹ̀yin tìkára yín jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n.
For ye bear with fools willingly, being yourselves so wise:
20 Nítorí ẹ̀yin faradà á bí ẹnìkan bá sọ yín dí òǹdè, bí ẹnìkan bá jẹ́ yín run, bí ẹnìkan bá gbà lọ́wọ́ yín, bí ẹnìkan bá gbé ara rẹ̀ ga, bí ẹnìkan bá gbá yín lójú.
ye bear it, even if any one enslave you, if any devour you, if any take your substance, if any be lifted up, yea if any one smite you on the face.
21 Èmi ń wí lọ́nà ẹ̀gàn, bí ẹni pé àwa jẹ́ aláìlera! Ṣùgbọ́n nínú ohunkóhun tí ẹnìkan ti ní ìgboyà, èmi ń sọ̀rọ̀ bí òmùgọ̀, èmi ní ìgboyà pẹ̀lú.
I speak of their reproaches, as if we were weak: but whereinsoever any one may be confident (though I speak foolishly) I may be confident too.
22 Heberu ni wọ́n bí? Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi. Israẹli ni wọ́n bí? Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi. Irú-ọmọ Abrahamu ní òun bí? Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi.
Are they Hebrews? so am I: are they Israelites? so am I: are they the seed of Abraham?
23 Ìránṣẹ́ Kristi ni wọ́n bí? Èmi ń sọ bí òmùgọ̀, mo ta wọ́n yọ; ní ti làálàá lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀, ní ti pàṣán, mo rékọjá, ní ti túbú nígbàkígbà, ní ti fífẹ́rẹ kú nígbà púpọ̀.
so am I: are they ministers of Christ? (if I may speak as a fool) I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes far exceeding, in prisons more frequently, and often even in deaths.
24 Nígbà márùn-ún ni mo gba pàṣán ogójì dín ẹyọ kan lọ́wọ́ àwọn Júù.
From the Jews I have five times received forty stripes save one.
25 Nígbà mẹ́ta ni a fi ọ̀gọ̀ lù mí, ẹ̀ẹ̀kan ṣoṣo ni a sọ mí ní òkúta, ẹ̀ẹ̀mẹta ni ọkọ̀ ojú omi mi rì, ọ̀sán kan àti òru kan ni mo wà nínú ibú.
Thrice I have been beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I have been shipwrecked, and was a night and a day on the deep:
26 Ní ìrìnàjò nígbàkígbà, nínú ewu omi, nínú ewu àwọn ọlọ́ṣà, nínú ewu àwọn ará ìlú mi, nínú ewu àwọn aláìkọlà, nínú ewu ni ìlú, nínú ewu ní aginjù, nínú ewu lójú Òkun, nínú ewu láàrín àwọn èké arákùnrin.
in journies often, in perils from rivers, in perils from robbers, in perils from my own nation, in perils from the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the desert, in perils on the sea, in perils among false brethren:
27 Nínú làálàá àti ìrora, nínú ìṣọ́ òru nígbàkígbà, nínú ebi àti òǹgbẹ, nínú àwẹ̀ nígbàkígbà, nínú òtútù àti ìhòhò.
in labor and toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness: and beside these outward troubles,
28 Pẹ̀lú nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí ó jẹ́ tí òde, ọ̀pọ̀ ni èyí tí ń wọn n dúró tì mí lójoojúmọ́, àní àníyàn fún gbogbo ìjọ.
that which besets me daily, the care of all the churches.
29 Ta ni ó ṣe àìlera, tí èmi kò ṣe àìlera? Tàbí a mú kọsẹ̀, tí ara mi kò gbiná?
Who is infirm, and I am not infirm also? who is offended, and I am not inflamed?
30 Bí èmi yóò bá ṣògo, èmi ó kúkú máa ṣògo nípa àwọn nǹkan tí ó jẹ́ ti àìlera mi.
If I must boast, I will boast of the things which relate to my infirmity.
31 Ọlọ́run àti Baba Olúwa wá Jesu Kristi, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ olùbùkún jùlọ láéláé mọ̀ pé èmi kò ṣèké. (aiōn g165)
And the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knoweth that I lye not. (aiōn g165)
32 Ní Damasku, baálẹ̀ tí ó wà lábẹ́ ọba Areta fi ẹgbẹ́ ogun ká ìlú àwọn ará Damasku mọ́, ó ń fẹ́ láti mú mi bí arúfin.
In Damascus the governor under king Aretas, placed guards about the city to seize me:
33 Láti ojú fèrèsé nínú agbọ̀n ni a sì ti sọ̀ mí kalẹ̀ lẹ́yìn odi, tí mo sì bọ́ lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
and I was let down by the wall through a window in a basket, and so escaped his hands.
