2 Korintos 11
1 Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaad iigu dulqaadataan doqonnimadayda yar. Laakiin waad ii dulqaadataan.
[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 Waxaan idiinku masayrsanahay masayr xagga Ilaah ah, waayo, waxaan idiin guuriyey nin keliya, inaan idiin dhiibo Masiix idinkoo ah bikrad daahir ah.
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 Laakiin waxaan ka baqayaa in maankiinna laga halleeyo lillaahinimada iyo daahirnimada xagga Masiix, sidii abeesadii xeeladdeedii Xaawa ugu khiyaanaysay oo kale.
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 Waayo, haddii mid yimaado oo idinku wacdiyo Ciise kale oo ah ku aanan ku wacdiyin, ama haddii aad heshaan ruux ka duwan kii aad hesheen, ama injiil ka duwan kii aad aqbasheen, si wanaagsan ayaad ugu dulqaadataan.
[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 Waxaan u malaynayaa inaanan sina uga liidan rasuulladaas ugu waaweyn.
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 Laakiin in kastoo aanan hadalka ku fiicnayn, aqoonta waan ku fiicanahay, oo taasaannu si kasta idiinku muujinnay dadka oo dhan hortiisa.
[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 Dembi miyaan falay markaan is-hoosaysiiyey in idinka laydin sarraysiiyo, maxaa yeelay, injiilka Ilaah ayaan idinku wacdiyey hadiyad ahaan?
[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 Kiniisado kale ayaan dhacay, anigoo mushahaaro ka qaadaya, si aan idiinku adeego.
[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 Markaan idinla joogay oo aan wax u baahnaa, ninna culays kuma aan hayn, waayo, walaalihii markay Makedoniya ka yimaadeen waxay ii dhammaystireen waxaan u baahnaa, oo si kastana waan isu celiyey si aanan idiin culaysin, waanan isa sii celin doonaa.
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 Sida Masiixa runtiisu ay iigu jirto, faankan laygama joojin doono xagga dalalka Akhaya.
[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 Waayo? Ma waxay tahay inaanan idin jeclayn? Ilaah baa garan.
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 Laakiin waxaan samaynayo, waan sii samayn doonaa, inaan ka gooyo waxay kuwa doonaya inay wax ku faanaan ku faani lahaayeen, in waxay ku faanaan loo garto inay sidayada oo kale yihiin.
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 Kuwaas oo kale waa rasuullo been ah iyo shaqeeyayaal khaa'inno ah iyagoo isu ekaysiinaya rasuullada Masiix.
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 Oo layaabna ma leh, waayo, Shayddaanka qudhiisu wuxuu isu ekaysiiyaa malaa'igta iftiinka.
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 Haddaba wax weyn ma aha haddii ay midiidinyadiisuna isu ekaysiiyaan midiidinyada xaqnimada, iyagoo dhammaanshahoodu u ahaan doono sida shuqulladooda.
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 Haddana waxaan leeyahay, Qofna yaanu doqon ii malayn, laakiin haddaad ii malaysaan, weliba sida doqon ii qaata inaan aniguna in yar faano.
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 Waxaan ku hadlayo ugu hadli maayo sida Rabbigu doonayo, laakiin si doqonnimo ah iyo si geesinimadan faanka ah ayaan ugu hadlayaa.
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 Siday kuwa badanu jidhka ugu faanaan, ayaan anna ugu faani doonaa.
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 Waayo, idinku si farxadleh ayaad doqonnada ugu dulqaadataan idinkoo caqli leh.
[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 Idinku waad u dulqaadataan nin hadduu idin addoonsado, hadduu wixiinna cuno, hadduu wax idinka qaato, hadduu isa sarraysiiyo, hadduu wejiga idinka dharbaaxo.
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 Waan ka xishoonayaa inaan idhaahdo, Waannu tabardaran nahay. Laakiin weliba wax kasta oo uu qof geesi ku yahay, aniguna geesi baan ku ahay (sida doqon ayaan u hadlayaa).
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 Iyagu ma Cibraaniyo baa? Anna waan ahay. Ma reer binu Israa'iil baa? Anna waan ahay. Ma dhashii Ibraahim baa? Anna waan ahay.
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 Iyagu ma Masiix bay u adeegaan? Si ka sii badan ayaan ugu adeegaa. Sidii qof waalan ayaan u hadlayaa. Waan ka hawlo badnaa, waanan ka xabsi badnaa, karbaashyo tirola'aan ahna waa laygu dhuftay, marar badanna dhimashaan ku dhowaaday.
[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 Shan goor Yuhuuddu waxay i karbaasheen afartan mid la'.
On five occasions Jewish [religious leaders] beat me 39 times with a whip.
25 Saddex goorna ulaa laygu dhuftay, marna waa lay dhagxiyey, saddex goor doonni baa ila jabtay, habeen iyo maalinna waxaan ku jiray badda.
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 Marar badan baan safray, xagga webiyadana khatar baan galay, xagga tuugaggana khatar baan galay, xagga dadkaygana khatar baan galay, xagga dadka aan Yuhuuddu ahaynna khatar baan galay, xagga magaaladana khatar baan galay, xagga cidladana khatar baan galay, xagga baddana khatar baan galay, walaalo been ah dhexdoodana khatar baan ku galay.
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 Waxaanna ku jiray dhib iyo daal, marar badanna hurdola'aan iyo gaajo iyo harraad, marar badanna cuntola'aan iyo qabow iyo arrad.
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 Waxyaalahaas dibadda ahna waxaa ii dheeraad ah waxaa maalin walba i dhiba ee ah kawelwelidda kiniisadaha oo dhan.
In addition to all that, I am constantly and deeply concerned about all the congregations [that I have helped to begin].
29 Kumaa itaaldaran oo anna aanan itaal darnayn? Kumaa la xumeeyey oo aanan ka guban?
[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 Hadday tahay inaan faano waxaan ku faanayaa waxyaalaha ku saabsan itaaldarradayda.
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 Ilaaha ah Aabbaha Rabbi Ciise, kan barakada leh weligiis, wuxuu yaqaan inaanan been sheegaynin. (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 Xagga Dimishaq taliyihii ka hooseeyey boqorkii Aretas ahaa ayaa gaadh ka qabtay magaalada reer Dimishaq si uu ii qabto.
[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 Markaas anigoo dambiil ku jira ayaa daaqad xagga derbiga hoos laygaga dejiyey oo aan gacmihiisii ka baxsaday.
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]!
