Men Korint II 11
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1I mauki, komail en mueid on ia kijin pweipwei, iei ta komail pan mueid on ia.
1I hope you will bear with a little of my foolishness, but you are already doing that.
2Pwe nai me per kin komail dueta Kot, pwe nai me kileledier komail on ol amen, pwe i en kajale komail on Krijtuj duen jeripein makelekel amen.
2I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
3A i majak jerpent widinok, me kotaue Ewa, ma a jota pan pil kawela omail lamelam jan ni opampap en Krijtuj.
3I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.
4Pwe ma amen pan pwarado, me kin padaki duen amen Iejuj, me je jota padaki, de ma komail pan ale eu nen, me komail jota aleer, de eu ronamau, me komail jota wuki on, kaidin komail pan peren kida?
4For if someone comes and proclaims a Jesus other than the One we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit than the One you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it way too easily.
5Pwe i lamelame, me nai kaidin tikitik jan wanporon lapalap akan.
5I consider myself in no way inferior to those “super-apostles.”
6A ma i jota koiok on lokaia a kaidin ni ai dedeki, pwe kit janjal on komail ni jon o waja karoj.
6Although I am not a polished speaker, I am certainly not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every way possible.
7De nai me wiadar dip eu ni ai akmalkila pein nai? Pwe komail en indandala ki ai padaki on komail ronamau en Kot jo pwaipwai.
7Was it a sin for me to humble myself in order to exalt you, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?
8I atia jan momotijou tei kan ni ai aleer pwain en dodok, pwe I en kak dodok on komail.
8I robbed other churches by accepting their support in order to serve you.
9O ni ai mimi re omail o lao jamamala, kaidin amen, me i uki pa meakot, pwe ni ai jolar ai meakot, ri atail akan me kodo jan Majetonien me kija don ia; nai ari jota katoutoui komail ni meakot, o i pil pan due!
9And when I was with you and in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have refrained from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.
10A duen melel en Krijtuj mimi lol i, iduen i jota pan mueid on amen, en kawela kapin wet nan jap en Akaia kan.
10As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.
11Pwekida? Pweki ai jo pok on komail? Kot me kotin manier.
11Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
12A me i kin wia, i me i pan wiada, pwen kawela karep en akai me inon ion karep en ar juaiki dene irail dueta kit, jota lipilipil ij i.
12But I will keep on doing what I am doing, in order to undercut those who want an opportunity to be regarded as our equals in the things of which they boast.
13Pwe wanporon likam pukat o toun dodok likam akan irail, kin kawukilan wanporon akan en Krijtuj pein irail.
13For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
14A kaidin kapuriamui eu, pwe iduen Jatan kin kawukila pein i, wuki on tounlan en marain amen.
14And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
15I me kaidin kapuriamui eu, ma na papa kan pil pan wukilan papa en pun kan; a imwilar pan duen ar wiawia kan.
15It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.
16I puron indada, jota amen en akpweipwei kin ia, a ma iei, komail ap maki on ia ai pweipwei, pwe i en juai kin ia ekij.
16I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
17A me i inda, kaidin Kaun o me i pwili jan, pwe a tapi jan ni tiak en pweipwei, pwe i juaiki pein nai;
17In this confident boasting of mine, I am not speaking as the Lord would, but as a fool.
18Pwe me toto kin juaiki ni pali uduk, i pil pan juaiki pein nai.
18Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I too will boast.
19Pwe komail kin mauki me lolepon kan, pweki komail me lolekon.
19For you gladly tolerate fools, since you are so wise.
20Pwe komail kin mueid on amen, en wia kin komail ladu kan, de ma amen kaloke komail, de ma amen kuli komail edi, de ma amen aklapalap, de ma amen pikir komail.
20In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or exalts himself or strikes you in the face.
21Mepukat i indan komail, pwen kanamenok ki komail, dene kit luetalar. A ma meamen aima, nai pil aima, i kin lokaia nin tiak en pweipwei.
21To my shame I concede that we were too weak for that! Speaking as a fool, however, I can match what anyone else dares to boast about.
22Irail men Ipru, pil nai; irail men Ijrael, pil nai; irail kadaudok en Apraam, pil nai;
22Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
23Irail me papan Krijtuj, i kin lokaia dueta me iak amen, nai me lapa jan; ai dodok laud jan, i kalokolok laud jan; i jalidier toto jan, i koren ion mela pan pak toto.
23Are they servants of Christ? I am speaking like I am out of my mind, but I am so much more: in harder labor, in more imprisonments, in worse beatings, in frequent danger of death.
24Pan me limpak Juj oko ki on ia wok paeijok, eu katoror jan,
24Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
25A pan me jilepak re woki kin ia jokon; pan mepak me i pakajuk; pan me jilepak takepa i jop olar; pon o ran, me i pepe jili nan madau.
25Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked. I spent a night and a day in the open sea.
26Ai jailok me toto; i diar ai apwal nan pilap akan; i diar ai apwal ren lolap akan; i diar ai apwal ren ai kainok; i diar ai apwal nan jap tan; i diar ai apwal nan madau; i diar ai apwal ren jaulan likam akan;
26In my frequent journeys, I have been in danger from rivers and from bandits, in danger from my countrymen and from the Gentiles, in danger in the city and in the country, in danger on the sea and among false brothers,
27Ni dodok apwal, ni jonjonemaj, ni men manadar o men nim piladar, ni ijejol pan pak toto, ni pou o jo kidi pa;
27in labor and toil and often without sleep, in hunger and thirst and often without food, in cold and exposure.
28O me pil kin lel on ia ni ran karoj, o ai apapwali momodijou akan karoj.
28Apart from these external trials, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.
29Ij me luet, a nai jota pan luet? Ij me kin kamakar, a nai jo?
29Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with grief?
30Ma i en juaiki, i pan juaiki ai luet.
30If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
31Kot o Jam en Kaun Iejuj, me iajanai kokolata, kin mani, me i jota kin likam.
31The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is forever worthy of praise, knows that I am not lying.
32Nan Damajkuj nain nanmarki Aretaj kopina amen jinjila kanim en men Damajkuj ni a inon ion jaik ia di.
32In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas secured the city of the Damascenes in order to arrest me.
33I ap apikidi kopou eu jan ni wanim tuk en kel o, ap piti jan ni pa a kan.
33But I was lowered in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his grasp.
