2 Corinthians 11
1 O that ye were bearing with me a little of the folly, but ye also do bear with me:
Mexɔ se be miagbɔ dzi ɖi ase nye movinya siwo gblɔm mele na mi. Miɖo to ne magblɔ nye dzimenyawo na mi.
2 for I am zealous for you with zeal of God, for I did betroth you to one husband, a pure virgin, to present to Christ,
Metsɔ Mawu ƒe ŋuʋaʋã le ŋu ʋãm le mia ŋu; elabena medo mia ŋugbe na ŋutsu ɖeka, si nye Kristo be mianye eya ɖeka ko tɔ, abe ale si ɖetugbi dzadzɛ tsɔa eƒe lɔlɔ̃ naa ŋutsu si ƒe ŋugbe wodo nɛ la ene.
3 and I fear, lest, as the serpent did beguile Eve in his subtilty, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that [is] in the Christ;
Gake mele vɔvɔ̃m ɖe mia nu be ɖewohĩ la, ame aɖe ava ble mi, eye wòatrɔ miaƒe susu ɖa tso dzimekɔkɔ si mietsɔ na Kristo gbɔ, abe ale si da dzeaye ma ble Eva ene.
4 for if, indeed, he who is coming doth preach another Jesus whom we did not preach, or another Spirit ye receive which ye did not receive, or other good news which ye did not accept — well were ye bearing [it],
Nu si ta mele esiawo gblɔm lae nye be edze nam be mia beble le bɔbɔe, eye ne ame aɖe va mia gbɔ va ɖe gbeƒã Yesu bubu si to vovo tso esi ŋuti míefia nu mi le la gbɔ alo wòfia nu bubu sãa mi alo ƒo nu tso gbɔgbɔ bubu aɖe si mesɔ kple Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe si miexɔ o ŋuti la, miexɔa ame ma dzi sena bɔbɔe.
5 for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles,
Ke nye Paulo mexɔe se be ame siwo nɔa wo ɖokuiwo yɔm be Mawu ƒe ame dɔdɔwo yewonye la menyo wum le mɔ aɖeke nu o.
6 and even if unlearned in word — yet not in knowledge, but in every thing we were made manifest in all things to you.
Ne nyemeɖea ami ɖe nye nuƒo abe ale si woawo wɔnɛ ene o hã la, menya nu si tututu gblɔm mele elabena Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋusẽ me meƒoa nu le abe ale si miawo ŋutɔ mienya ene.
7 The sin did I do — myself humbling that ye might be exalted, because freely the good news of God I did proclaim to you?
Azɔ esi meva mia gbɔ, eye meɖe gbeƒã Mawu ƒe nyanyui la na mi le ɖokuibɔbɔɖeanyi blibo me, eye nyemexɔ naneke le mia si o la, eyae nye nu vɔ̃ si mewɔ ɖe mia ŋu eya ta miebum ɖe naneke me oa?
8 other assemblies I did rob, having taken wages, for your ministration;
Le ɣeyiɣi si me menɔ gbeƒã ɖem le mia gbɔ la, hame bubuwoe nɔ dzinye kpɔm. Ale be wòva zu be mexɔ nu siwo hame bubuwo nam la hetsɔ wɔ dɔe le mia gbɔ.
9 and being present with you, and having been in want, I was chargeable to no one, for my lack did the brethren supply — having come from Macedonia — and in everything burdenless to you I did keep myself, and will keep.
Esi menɔ mia gbɔ, eye nanewo va hiãm la, nyemebia mi o, ke boŋ kristotɔ siwo tso Makedonia va gbɔnye lae tsɔ nu siawo nu vɛ nam. Meɖoe be nyemanye agba na mi o, eya tae nyemebia pesewa ɖeka hã va se ɖe fifia o, eye nyemabia mi hã gbeɖegbeɖe o.
10 The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting shall not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia;
Abe ale si Kristo ƒe nyateƒe la le menye ene la, ame aɖeke mate ŋu atrɔ nye susu sia o, eye mana nɔvi siwo katã le Akaya nutowo me la hã nanya nu le esia ŋuti.
11 wherefore? because I do not love you? God hath known!
Ame aɖe agblɔ be ɖe nyemelɔ̃ mi Kristotɔwo o, eya ta megblɔ esia ɖo, gake mele eme nenema o, elabena Mawu ŋutɔ gɔ̃ hã nya be melɔ̃ mi vevie.
12 and what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also;
Ke mawɔ nu si meɖo la dzi be matsɔ ɖe ke le miaƒe apostolo siwo le adegbe ƒom be yewo hã Mawu ƒe dɔ ko wɔm yewole abe míawo ke ene la te.
13 for those such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,
Nenɔ nyanya me na mi be menye Mawue dɔ aʋatsopostolo mawo o. Alakpatɔwo wonye, eye wodze agbagba ble mi be Kristo ƒe apostolowo yewonye.
14 and no wonder — for even the Adversary doth transform himself into a messenger of light;
Esia mewɔ nuku nam o, elabena Satana ŋutɔ hã tea ŋu trɔa eɖokui ɣe aɖewo ɣi abe Mawudɔla ene.
15 no great thing, then, if also his ministrants do transform themselves as ministrants of righteousness — whose end shall be according to their works.
Eya ta menye nu wɔnuku aɖeke wònye kura be Satana ƒe dɔlawo trɔ wo ɖokuiwo abe Kristo ƒe dɔlawo ene o, gake le nuwuwu la, woahe to na wo ɖe woƒe nuwɔnawo ta.
16 Again I say, may no one think me to be a fool; and if otherwise, even as a fool receive me, that I also a little may boast.
Megale kuku ɖem na mi be migabu be ɖe nyemenya ale si maƒo nu abe ame mawo ene o, eye nenye be nyemenya ale si maƒo nu abe woawo ene o hã la, miɖe mɔ nam be maƒo nu abe abunɛtɔ ene, eye nye hã maƒo adegbe vie abe woawo ene.
17 That which I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting;
Adegbe sia ƒoƒo kple kakaɖedzi menye nu si Aƒetɔ la di tso asinye be mawɔ o, gake mele eƒo ge abe ale si ame tagbɔmanɔsitɔ ƒoa nue ene.
18 since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast:
Abe ale si ame geɖewo ƒoa adegbe be yewonye ame tɔxɛwo le xexea me ene la, nenema ke nye hã mele wɔwɔ ge fifi laa.
19 for gladly do ye bear with the fools — being wise,
Miebe nunyalawoe yewonye, gake mieɖoa to bometsinyawo dzidzɔtɔe.
20 for ye bear, if any one is bringing you under bondage, if any one doth devour, if any one doth take away, if any one doth exalt himself, if any one on the face doth smite you;
Mielɔ̃ wotsɔ mi wɔ kluviwoe, woɖoa nu siwo menyo o la na mi miewɔna, wona miekpɔ wo dzi, wowɔa wo ɖokuiwo glodzoo eye wokaa mo na mi ɖe madzɔmadzɔ dzi gake miekea nu o.
21 in reference to dishonour I speak, how that we were weak, and in whatever any one is bold — in foolishness I say [it] — I also am bold.
Enye ŋukpe nam be magblɔ be dzideƒo kple ŋusẽ mele asinye be maƒo nu nenema o, ke nu sia nu si ŋu woaƒo adegbe le la nye hã mate ŋu aƒo adegbe le nenem nu ma ŋu, eye enye dada nam be megale nu ƒom abe bometsila ene.
22 Hebrews are they? I also! Israelites are they? I also! seed of Abraham are they? I also!
Woƒoa adegbe be Hebritɔwo yewonye, nye hã Hebritɔ menye. Wobe Israelviwo yewonye, nye hã Israelvi menye, eye wobe Abraham ƒe dzidzimeviwoe yewonye, nye hã Abraham ƒe dzidzimevie menye.
23 ministrants of Christ are they? — as beside myself I speak — I more; in labours more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times;
(Megale nu ƒom dadatɔe abe ame si ƒe tagbɔ da ene.) Wobe Kristo ƒe subɔlawo yewonyea? Gake mesubɔa Kristo wu wo katã, eye mewɔ dɔ wu wo elabena le Kristo ta wodem gaxɔ me zi geɖe, woƒom kutɔkutɔe, eye ɣe aɖewo ɣi gɔ̃ hã la, medea tsiẽƒe gagbɔna.
24 from Jews five times forty [stripes] save one I did receive;
Yudatɔwo ƒom zi atɔ̃ sɔŋ eye le ƒoƒo ɖe sia ɖe me la, woƒom zi blaetɔ̃-vɔ-asiekɛ.
25 thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice was I shipwrecked, a night and a day in the deep I have passed;
Romatɔwo hã ƒom zi etɔ̃ kple gakawo, eye woƒu kpem zi ɖeka. Menɔ tɔdziʋu me wògbã zi etɔ̃ sɔŋ; ɣe aɖe ɣi gɔ̃ hã la, mege dze atsiaƒu me, eye menɔ atsiaƒu gbana la me zã ɖeka kple ŋkeke ɖeka.
26 journeyings many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from kindred, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brethren;
Mezɔ mɔ didi teɖeɖiameŋu geɖewo, eye nye agbe ɖo xaxa me le tɔɖɔɖɔ, fiafitɔwo, Yudatɔwo kple ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo ta. Le nyateƒe me la, meto dzɔgbevɔ̃ewo me le afi sia afi si mede la, le du gãwo me, gbedzi kple ƒu dzi siaa. Nenema ke ame siwo be yewonye nɔviwo le Kristo me, evɔ mele eme nenema o hã do ŋɔdzi na nye agbe.
27 in labouriousness and painfulness, in watchings many times, in hunger and thirst, in fastings many times, in cold and nakedness;
Le dɔwɔwɔ fũu ta la, ɖeɖi tea ŋunye, eye metsi zãdomadɔlɔ̃e zi geɖe. Dɔ kple tsikɔ wuam zi geɖe. Dɔƒe hã menɔa asinye o, eye le zã me la, vuvɔ wɔam, elabena avɔ titri menɔ asinye o.
28 apart from the things without — the crowding upon me that is daily — the care of all the assemblies.
Hekpe ɖe nu siawo ŋuti la, metsina dzodzodzoe enuenu tso hamewo ƒe tsitsi ɖe edzi ŋuti.
29 Who is infirm, and I am not infirm? who is stumbled, and I am not fired;
Ne ame aɖe le hame aɖe me si gbɔdzɔ la, etena ɖe dzinye, eye nye hã megbɔdzɔna enumake eye ne hamevi aɖe wɔ nu vɔ̃ eye wòdze anyi la, enana be nuxaxa yɔa nye dzi me.
30 if to boast it behoveth [me], of the things of my infirmity I will boast;
Azɔ ne medi be maƒo adegbe la, ɖeko maƒoe le nu siwo nana be ŋusẽ mele ŋunye o la ŋu.
31 the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ — who is blessed to the ages — hath known that I do not lie! — (aiōn g165)
Mawu, ame si nye Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo Fofo, eye wòdze kafukafu tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me la hã nya be nyateƒe gblɔm mele. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me,
Esi menɔ Damasko la, fia Areta ɖo asrafowo dua ƒe agbowo nu be woalém,
33 and through a window in a rope basket I was let down, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.
gake nɔvi siwo le afi ma la de ka kusi ŋu, eye wokɔm da ɖe kusi la me hetsɔ to fesre si le glia me la me, eye mesi dzo le egbɔ.
