2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
Taumaiā ʻoku mou faʻa kātaki siʻi au ʻi [heʻeku ]vale: ʻio, mou kātakiʻi au.
2 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.
He ʻoku ou fuaʻa kiate kimoutolu ʻi he fuaʻa fakaʻotua: he kuo u fakanofo ʻakimoutolu ki he husepāniti pe taha, koeʻuhi ke u ʻatu ai ʻakimoutolu ko e tāupoʻou māʻoniʻoni kia Kalaisi.
3 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.
Ka ʻoku ou manavahē telia naʻa hangē ko hono oloa ʻe he ngata ʻi heʻene kākaaʻi ʻa ʻIvi, ʻe pehē ʻae fakahala homou loto mei he angatotonu ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi.
4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus 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.
Pea kapau moʻoni ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻe ia kuo aʻu atu, ʻae Sisu ʻe taha naʻe ʻikai te mau malangaʻaki, pea kapau ʻoku mou maʻu ha Laumālie ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou maʻu, pe ha ongoongolelei ʻe taha, naʻe ʻikai te mou maʻu, pea neʻineʻi te mou faʻa kātaki ia.
5 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
Ka ʻoku ou lau ʻeau ʻoku ʻikai siʻi te u tomui au ʻi he fungani “ʻaposetolo lahi.”
6 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.
He neongo ʻeku taʻepoto ʻi he lea, ka ʻoku ʻikai te u [pehē ]ʻi he ʻilo; ka kuo ʻosi hono fakahā lahi atu ʻakimautolu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.
7 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?
He ko ʻeku fai hala ʻa ʻeku fakavaivai au kae fakahikihiki ai ʻakimoutolu, koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe ʻOtua taʻehatotongi?
8 I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
Naʻaku fakamasivaʻi ʻae siasi niʻihi, ʻo maʻu [mei ai ]ʻae totongi, ke u ʻaonga ai kiate kimoutolu.
9 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.
Pea ʻi heʻeku ʻi ai mo kimoutolu, peau masiva, naʻe ʻikai te u fakamāfasia ha tangata ʻe tokotaha: he ko ia naʻaku masiva ai, naʻe ʻomi ia ʻe he kāinga naʻe haʻu mei Masitōnia: pea kuo u fai ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ke ʻoua naʻaku fakamāfasia ʻakimoutolu, pea ko hoku loto teu pehē pe.
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
ʻO hangē ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae moʻoni ʻa Kalaisi, ʻe ʻikai taʻofi au ʻi he polepole ni he ngaahi potu ʻo ʻAkeia.
11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.
Ko e meʻa ʻi he hā? Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻofa kiate kimoutolu? ʻOku ʻiloʻi ʻe he ʻOtua.
12 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 recognized just like us.
Ka ko ia ʻoku ou fai, te u fai pe ia, koeʻuhi ke tuʻusi ʻae tupungalau meiate kinautolu ʻoku kumi ki ai; koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻoku nau viki ai, ke ʻilo ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau hangē ko kimautolu.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.
Ka ko e kau ʻaposetolo loi ʻakinautolu, ko e kau ngāue fakakākā, ʻoku nau fakakehe ʻakinautolu ke hangē ko e kau ʻaposetolo ʻa Kalaisi.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
Pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e meʻa fakaofo ia he naʻa mo Sētane ʻoku fakakehe foki ia ko e ʻāngelo ʻoe maama.
15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ko ha meʻa lahi, ʻo kapau ʻe fakakehe ʻene kau faifekau foki ke hangē ko e kau faifekau ʻoe māʻoniʻoni; ko e ngataʻanga ʻokinautolu ʻe fakatatau ki heʻenau ngaahi ngāue.
16 I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
ʻOku ou toe pehē, ʻoua naʻa mahalo ʻe ha taha ko e vale au; pea kapau ʻe pehē, pea kātaki muʻa au ʻo taau mo e vale, koeʻuhi ke u polepole siʻi ʻiate au.
17 That which I speak, I do not speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
Ko ia ʻoku ou lea ʻaki, ʻoku ʻikai te u lea ʻaki mei he ʻEiki, kae hangē ko e vale, ʻi he polepole lahi ni.
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
Ko e meʻa ʻi he polepole ʻae tokolahi ki he kakano, teu polepole foki au.
19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
He ʻoku mou kātaki fiemālie pe ʻae kau vale, he koeʻuhi ʻoku mou poto.
20 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.
He kapau ʻoku fakapōpulaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha taha, kapau te ne folo hifo, kapau te ne fakamālohiʻi ʻakimoutolu, kapau ʻe fakahikihiki ia, kapau te ne tukiʻi homou mata, ʻoku mou kātaki pe ia.
21 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.
ʻOku kau ʻeku lea ki he manukiʻi, ʻo hangē kuo moʻoni ʻemau vaivai. Ka koeni, ʻilonga ha meʻa ʻoku pole ai ha toko taha, (ʻoku ou lea ʻo hangē ha vale, ) ʻoku ou pole ai foki.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
Ko e Hepelū ʻakinautolu? ʻOku pehē mo au. Ko e ʻIsileli ʻakinautolu? ʻOku pehē mo au. Ko e hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻakinautolu? ʻOku pehē mo au.
23 Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.
Ko e kau faifekau ʻa Kalaisi ʻakinautolu? (ʻOku ou lea ʻo hangē ha vale) ʻoku ou lahi hake; ʻi he ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻaupito, ʻi he ngaahi kauʻimaea ʻo lahi ʻaupito, ʻi he nofo fale fakapōpula ʻo liunga lahi hake, pea liunga lahi ʻi he mate.
24 Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.
Naʻe liunga nima ʻa hoku haha ʻe he kakai Siu, pea taki tolungofulu ma hiva [ʻae tā].
25 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.
Naʻe tuʻo tolu hoku teʻia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi vaʻa ʻakau, pea tuʻo taha hoku tolongaki ʻaki ʻae maka, kuo tuʻo tolu ʻeku mate ʻi he vaka, ko e pō mo e ʻaho naʻaku ʻi he moana;
26 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 among false brothers;
Pea faʻa fai ʻae ngaahi fononga, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he ngaahi vai, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he kaihaʻa kau, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he kakai ʻo hoku fonua, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he hiteni, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he kolo, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he toafa, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he tahi, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he kāinga loi;
27 in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
ʻI he ongosia mo e ngāue mamahi, ʻi he faʻa leʻo, ʻi he fiekaia mo e fieinu, ʻi he faʻa ʻaukai, ʻi he momoko mo e telefua.
28 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.
Pea ʻikai pe ko e ngaahi meʻa ni mei tuʻa, ka ko ia foki ʻoku fetaʻomi kiate au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ko e tokanga ki he ngaahi siasi kotoa pē.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
Ko hai ʻoku vaivai, pea ʻoku ʻikai teu vaivai ai? Ko hai ʻoku tūkia, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u vela ai?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
Kapau kuo pau pe ke u polepole, teu polepole ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku kau ki heʻeku vaivai.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed for the ages (aiōn g165), knows that I do not lie.
Ko e ʻOtua mo e Tamai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia ʻoku monūʻia ʻo taʻengata, ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻikai te u loi. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the Damascenes’ city, desiring to arrest me.
Ko e pule ʻi Tamasikusi ʻi he tuʻi ai ʻa ʻAlitasi, naʻa ne leʻohi ʻae kolo ʻoe kakai Tamasikusi ʻaki ʻae kau tau, ʻo holi ke moʻua au:
33 I was let down in a basket through a window by the wall, and escaped his hands.
Pea naʻe tukutuku hifo au ʻi ha kato mei he kātupa ʻi he ʻā, peau hao mei hono nima.
