2 Korintusi 11
1 Vajha elszenvednétek tőlem egy kevés balgatagságot! Sőt szenvedjetek el engem is.
[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].
2 Mert isteni buzgósággal buzgok értetek; hisz eljegyeztelek titeket egy férfiúnak, hogy mint szeplőtlen szűzet állítsalak a Krisztus elé.
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].
3 Félek azonban, hogy a miként a kígyó a maga álnokságával megcsalta Évát, akként a ti gondolataitok is megrontatnak és eltávolodnak a Krisztus iránt való egyenességtől.
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.
4 Mert hogyha az, a ki jő, más Jézust prédikál, a kit nem prédikáltunk, vagy más lelket vesztek, a mit nem vettetek, vagy más evangyéliomot, a mit be nem fogadtatok, szépen eltűrnétek.
[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!
5 Mert én azt gondolom, hogy semmiben sem vagyok alábbvaló a fő-fő apostoloknál.
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.
6 Ha pedig avatatlan vagyok is a beszédben, de nem az ismeretben; sőt mindenben, mindenképen nyilvánvalókká lettünk előttetek.
[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].
7 Avagy vétkeztem-é, mikor magamat megaláztam, hogy ti felmagasztaltassatok, hogy ingyen hírdettem néktek az Isten evangyéliomát?
[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.
8 Más gyülekezeteket fosztottam meg, zsoldot vévén, hogy néktek szolgáljak; és mikor nálatok voltam és szűkölködtem, nem voltam terhére senkinek.
[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.
9 Mert az én szükségemet kipótolták a Macedóniából jött atyafiak; és rajta voltam és rajta is leszek, hogy semmiben se legyek terhetekre.
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].
10 Krisztus igazsága bennem, hogy én ettől a dicsekvéstől nem esem el Akhája vidékén.
[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].
11 Miért? Hogy nem szeretlek titeket? Tudja az Isten.
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].
12 De a mit cselekszem, cselekedni is fogom, hogy elvágjam az alkalmat az alkalomkeresők elől; hogy a mivel dicsekesznek, olyanoknak találtassanak abban, mint mi is.
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.
13 Mert az ilyenek hamis apostolok, álnok munkások, a kik a Krisztus apostolaivá változtatják át magukat.
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].
14 Nem is csoda; hisz maga a Sátán is átváltoztatja magát világosság angyalává.
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].
15 Nem nagy dolog azért, ha az ő szolgái is átváltoztatják magokat az igazság szolgáivá; a kiknek végök az ő cselekedeteik szerint lészen.
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.
16 Ismét mondom: ne tartson engem senki esztelennek; de ha mégis, fogadjatok be mint esztelent is, hogy egy kicsit én is dicsekedhessem.
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.
17 A mit mondok, nem az Úr szerint mondom, hanem mintegy esztelenül a dicsekvésnek ezzel a merészségével,
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].
18 Mivelhogy sokan dicsekesznek test szerint, dicsekeszem én is.
Because many among you are boasting [about their own work], as unbelievers do, I will also boast [about myself and my work] [MTY, IRO].
19 Hisz okosak lévén, örömest eltűritek az eszteleneket.
[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].
20 Mert eltűritek, ha valaki leigáz titeket, ha valaki felfal, ha valaki megfog, ha valaki felfuvalkodik, ha valaki arczul ver titeket.
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.
21 Szégyenkezve mondom, mivelhogy mi erőtelenek voltunk; de a miben merész valaki, esztelenül szólok, merész vagyok én is.
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].
22 Héberek ők? Én is. Izráeliták-é? Én is. Ábrahám magva-é? Én is.
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.
23 Krisztus szolgái-é? (balgatagul szólok) én méginkább; több fáradság, több vereség, több börtön, gyakorta való halálos veszedelem által.
[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].
24 A zsidóktól ötször kaptam negyvenet egy híján.
On five occasions Jewish [religious leaders] beat me 39 times with a whip.
25 Háromszor megostoroztak, egyszer megköveztek, háromszor hajótörést szenvedtem, éjt-napot a mélységben töltöttem;
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].
26 Gyakorta való utazásban, veszedelemben folyó vizeken, veszedelemben rablók közt, veszedelemben népem között, veszedelemben pogányok között, veszedelemben városban, veszedelemben pusztában, veszedelemben tengeren, veszedelemben hamis atyafiak közt;
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.
27 Fáradságban és nyomorúságban, gyakorta való virrasztásban, éhségben és szomjúságban, gyakorta való bőjtölésben, hidegben és mezítelenségben.
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].
28 Mindezeken kívül van az én naponkénti zaklattatásom, az összes gyülekezetek gondja.
In addition to all that, I am constantly and deeply concerned about all the congregations [that I have helped to begin].
29 Ki beteg, hogy én is beteg ne volnék? Ki botránkozik meg, hogy én is ne égnék?
[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.
30 Ha dicsekednem kell, az én gyengeségemmel dicsekszem.
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.
31 Az Isten és a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztusnak Atyja, a ki mindörökké áldott, tudja, hogy nem hazudom. (aiōn g165)
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)
32 Damaskusban Aretás király helytartója őrzette a damaskusiak városát, akarván engem megfogni;
[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].
33 És az ablakon át, kosárban bocsátottak le a kőfalon, és megmenekültem kezei közül.
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]!
