2 Corinthians 11

1 [But now, because my opponents are saying that Christ sent them to you as his representatives and that he did not send me], please be patient with me, too, [while I say a] few things [that may sound as if] [IRO] [I am praising myself, like] a foolish person [would do. You have been] ([putting up with/tolerating]) [those who teach what is false; ] now then, (put up with/tolerate) me [too].

nin s, iso nin mi kitini nin tong tilalang ton, bara nani idin suzuku nin mi!

2 I really do care about [what happens to] you, just as God cares about [what happens to you. Just like a father wants his daughter to be sexually pure when he presents her to the man she will marry] [MET], I [want you to belong] to Christ [alone and to no other]. I want to present you [to him] as people who remain faithful to him [only, and who have not believed the deceitful message of those who are teaching what is false].

Bara men dinin liyarin nati mine indi nin liyarin Kutelle bara anun, in wa timinu likawali niligma nin les urum I nakpa minu nafo kubura kulau kitin Krist.

3 However, just like [Satan, when he] cunningly [appeared as a] snake, deceived Eve [and caused her to disobey the Lord God], I am concerned that [those teachers] will cause you to think wrongly so that you will no longer [be faithful to] Christ alone.

Bara nanin indin lanzu fiu nafo na fiyii wa rusuzo uwane nin kujinjin me ukpilzu mine wasa udu unkonkusari unuzu kidegen ghe nin lau nlira mine udu Kristi.

4 [I say that] because some people have come among you who are teaching [their own thoughts about] Jesus. They [are saying about him] things that are [entirely] different from what I taught you. [They are urging] you to receive a [powerful] spirit who [would come to live in you], but it is not the same [Spirit] that you received [from God when you believed in Christ]. They preach [what they call] a good message, and you accept [their message, even though it is not the same as the good message about Christ that you heard from me. And] you have gladly accepted them and their message!

Baqra umong wa dak ada belin minu ubeelen Yesu bani lele natidin belin minu, sa nin seru mun ifip migan nin moo na ni seru, sa umon uliru dabam ulena ina mali seru. yenjen ile mone kang.

5 I consider that [LIT] none of those [men, even though they think of themselves as being] [IRO] extra-special apostles, are in any way greater than I am.

Bara na indin kpilizu au nan di nanya na baat ananzang udu aleli “anan kadura adidiabYesu.”

6 [I admit that] I am not an eloquent speaker, but I do know [God’s message]. I have made that clear to you by everything [that I have done among you and by everything that I have taught you].

Bara nani sa ko na inaserun udursuzu in suzu nliru b, na ina se udursuzu inyinu b. Nanya ko kame libau nin nanya nimon vat tina belin minu iyinin.

7 [I refused to accept money] from you as pay for teaching you God’s message about Christ. (It is ridiculous for you to think that what I did was wrong!/Was that wrong?) [RHQ] [I know that by teaching you without pay], I made myself seem [IRO] unimportant to you. [But I did it] to honor you.

Ina ti kulapi na ina toltunughe bara inan ygantin minu, bara na indin belu minu uliru Kutelle sa ubiziya?

8 [Some people might say that it was as though] [IRO] I was robbing other congregations because I accepted money from them in order that I might work among you.

Idin bulsu imon na mong atii alau bara inan da minu katwa mun.

9 Furthermore, when I was [there] with you and had no [money to buy the things that I needed], I did not cause any [of you] ([to have difficulties by my depending on you/by asking you for money/support]), because our [(inc)] fellow believers who came from [here in] Macedonia [province] brought enough [money for me to buy everything] that I needed. So I have not caused you any difficulty at all [by asking you for money], and I never will [ask you for money] [EUP].

kona iwa di nan ghin, iwa dinin bukat, na iwa ti umon ti kanci b, Bara ubukata ni nuzu kiti linwana ale iwa nuzu kusarin Makidoniya. nan nanya nimon kap iwa ceu litinin kitin ti mong timinu kanci, mmini ma li ubun suu nani.

10 [And] as [sure as you know that] everything that Christ says is true, [you can be sure that what] I say [to you now is true. Wherever I go] there in Achaia [province], [I do not let you believers pay me for doing God’s work among you]. And no one will be able to prevent me from boasting [about that].

Nafo na kidegen Kristi di nanya ni, ufo figiri ulena men na uma so tik ba nanya tikot, nafo Achin.

11 No one should wrongly [RHQ] think that it is because I do not love you that [I do not take pay from you]. God knows [that you truly/really are very dear to me].

Barin yang? bara na indi nin suu mine baa? Kutelle yiru idinin suu mine.

12 There are [some men there among you] who would like to be able to say boastfully that they [work among you] just as I do. So, in order to make it impossible [IDM] [for them to say that], I have [refused to accept pay from you], and I will continue doing that.

Bara ilemon na idin su, na mma kuru su, inaqre ima li ubung insue bara inan tursu tunu nanan nale na idinin su tiyita arumme nin foo figiri.

13 Those men are lying [when they say that they are] apostles. They work deceitfully. [Even though they say that they work for God, they are working only for themselves]. They try to make people think that Christ [sent them] as his apostles, [but they do not truly represent him].

musu nanit ane anan kadura kinuwari, anan katwa kirusuza in sakizu timuro mine nafo anan kaduran Kristi.

14 I am not surprised [that they act like that], because Satan himself causes people to think [that he has come] as a shining messenger [from God].

Na ulele imon ipesari b, bara na shitan wang din sakizu kidowa me nafo gono kadura Kutelle unan kanang.

15 So it should not surprise [you] if these men, who [really] serve [Satan, do good things in order] to make you think they [serve God]. Some day God will [punish them] according to what they deserve because of the [evil] things that they do.

Na ile mone imon ipeseri kan ba andi ann katwa me ma yiti nafo nono lilaure. Ligan mine ma yitu nafo matiza mine na ise.

16 I say again: I do not want any of you to think that my [boasting about myself] is like foolish [people] boast. But even if anyone [thinks that I am boasting about myself like a foolish person boasts, listen to] what I [have to say anyway, just like you listen to those false apostles]. They really [speak] foolishly! Listen to me while I also boast a little.

In kurun bele: umon nwa su naya kibinai me meng ulalanghari b. Bara na uwa su sereni na fo ulalangha bara inan foo figiri bite.

17 About the things that I am [going to tell you], boasting confidently [about myself, surely you know that they are not the kind of things] that the Lord [Jesus] would say. Instead, [I will speak] as a foolish [person would speak].

Ile mong na indin bele mbeleng foo figiri na u serimku kiti ncif ba bara na idin liru nafo ulalang.

18 Because many among you are boasting [about their own work], as unbelievers do, I will also boast [about myself and my work] [MTY, IRO].

Uwonru, anit gbardan na foo figiri nanya kidawo, men ma ma tutun foo figir.

19 [I am sure that you, who think that you are so wise, will accept what I say] because you gladly [accept the] false teachers and the foolish things [that they say].

Bara na anin susin nayaboo nan nalalan, na idi jijin ati mine.

20 When people [treat] you as if they were your bosses, you gladly submit [to them. You think that it is all right when others] force you to provide for their needs. You think that it is all right [when people] take control over you, when they boast about themselves, [or when they insult you by] slapping you in the face.

Bara na u susin nin mong na a wa tifi licin awa kusufi nan na dondo, awa kata fi awa din fun, sa awa reu fi ummuro.

21 I agree that I was not bold enough to treat you in such ways. [Ha! Do you think that] [IRO] I should feel ashamed [because I did not do that?] So now, talking like a person who does not have any sense, I will boldly tell you [some things about myself, just like those false apostles tell you things about themselves].

Indin liru nin cin bara na arik wa di seen insu ni leli imone nin nani vat kubi ko na umong reu figiri indi liri nafo ulala menn wang reu fiiri.

22 Do [they tell you] that they are Hebrews [and can speak the Hebrew language?] Well, I can say the same thing [about myself]. Do they [tell you that they] belong [to God’s people], the nation of Israel? Well, I can say the same thing [about myself]. [Do they tell you that] they are descendants of [our great] ancestor Abraham? Well, he is my ancestor, too.

Inung a Ibraniyawara? menwang nenere. Israilawa? menwang naner. inun nanuzu kuwunu Abrahamari? menwang.

23 [Do they tell you how much] work they have done for Christ? Now I am talking like a crazy person talks [EUP]. Well, I work for Christ much more [than they do. I have been] in prison many more times [than they have. Many times I] have been beaten {[people] have beaten me} very severely [because I believe in and obey Christ]. Many times I almost died [because of serving Christ].

acin Kristiari? [indin liru nafo ule na lite duku ba] Meng katin katin nanya ti kibinai katw, piit nanya lici, nanya foo salin bat, nanya yenju nimong zikiki in kul.

24 On five occasions Jewish [religious leaders] beat me 39 times with a whip.

Unuzu na Yahudawa in wa sara “tishon akut anas sa lirum.''

25 On three occasions I was beaten {[Roman] officials beat me} with wooden sticks. On one occasion [a large crowd of people] threw stones at me [to kill me]. On three occasions the ship [that I was traveling on] was wrecked [and sank. On one of those occasions] I was [floating] in the water a night and a day [before I was rescued].

Sau titat i wa kpizii nin nkuru iwa filisiyi sau urum i wa tii inneu sau tita, in wa yerin in moro nfang nanya nteku.

26 As I have often traveled to other places, [I have often risked losing my life. For example], sometimes I have been in danger [crossing] rivers. [I have been] in danger [traveling in places] where there were bandits. [At times I have been in] danger among people of my own nation, [the Jews], and [at other times I been in] danger among those who are not Jews. [I have been] in danger in cities, and I have been in dangerous situations in barren areas. I have been in dangerous situations [when I was traveling in ships]. [I have been in] danger among people who falsely [claim to be] fellow believers.

Incin gbarda, nin nigingawa ni nanzaang nanya ti tidana nakiri, nanyan nnanzan nin nabit nin nanya nnanzang nan nawurimi nanya nananzan nanya kipi, nananzang kusshuo nanya nnazan ntek, nanya nnanzag nnuzu nuana kinu.

27 I have worked very hard [DOU] [to earn] ([a living/what I need]), and often I did not sleep. At times I was hungry and thirsty, and at times I did not have enough time to eat. Sometimes I was cold [because] I did not have enough clothes [to wear].

Iwadi ktwa nijasi nin nanya nijas, nanya kiitik sa mmor, nanya kupe nin kotu nayi nin sali ni nimonlii, nanya tituwui fisere.

28 In addition to all that, I am constantly and deeply concerned about all the congregations [that I have helped to begin].

Banin ni mun va, upardinu kitene ning vat liri kitine nin bara kibinai nighe di bara atii alau at.

29 [Every time that I hear about fellow believers] [RHQ] who are not strong [spiritually], I sympathize with them [and try to help them. Every time that I learn about a fellow believer] [RHQ] who causes [another believer] to do something wrong, that makes me very angry.

Ghari sali nin likara na meng nin sali munba? nghari ta umong deu nanga kulap, na meng juju kkidowo nin ghe ba?

30 Because [it seems that] it is necessary for me to [continue] boasting [about myself], I will boast about things that [caused some people to think of me] as being weak.

Andi nma reu figir, nma reu figiri bara ile imong na idurui lidarni ning

31 God, who is the Father of our [(inc)] Lord Jesus, and who is the one [whom we should] praise forever, knows that I am not lying [about this]. (aiōn g165)

Kutelle nin Cif Cikilari Yes, ame ule na idin rughe sa ligan, yiru nan din belu kinu ba! (aiōn g165)

32 [One time when I was] in Damascus [city], the governor whom King Aretas [had appointed] to rule [part of his area, told his soldiers] to guard [the gates of] the city so that they could seize me [if I tried to leave the city].

Kusarin Damaskus, ugumna nacaran ngo Aretas wadi nca kagbirin Damaskus bara inan kifai

33 But [my friends] helped me to escape [by] putting me in a large basket and lowering me [to the ground by a rope] through an opening in the [city] wall. [That was really humiliating]!

Bara nani inutuni kibulun kibene nanya kugbetu likii in nin cuu na cara me.
