II Corinthians 11

Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

Ko taku e hiahia nei kia ata hanga mai koutou ki ahau, kia iti nei, i ahau e wairangi nei: ae ra, kia ata hanga mai ano ki ahau.

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Nui atu hoki toku ngakau ki a koutou, he ngakau no te Atua: kua oti hoki koutou te taumau e ahau ma te tane kotahi, kia tapaea atu ai hei wahine kore he ki a te Karaiti.

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

E wehi ana ia ahau, kei pera me Iwi i whakawaia e te tinihanga o te nakahi, kei kumea atu o koutou whakaaro ki te he, kei mahue te tapatahi o te ngakau ki a te Karaiti.

For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Ki te tae atu hoki te tangata, me te kauwhau i tetahi Ihu e rere ke ana i ta matou i kauwhau ai, ki te whiwhi ranei koutou i tetahi wairua ke atu i tena i whiwhi na koutou, ki tetahi rongopai ranei e rere ke ana i ta koutou i whakaae ai, e tika a na koutou kia ata hanga ki a ia.

For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.

Ki ahau hoki kahore rawa ahau i hoki iho i nga tino apotoro.

But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.

Na, ahakoa tangata ware ahau kite korero, kahore ia ki te matauranga; heoi i nga mea katoa kua tino kitea tenei i roto i a koutou.

Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

I hara oti ahau i ahau i whakaiti ra i ahau kia kake ai koutou, i kauwhau utukore ra i te rongopai o te Atua ki a koutou?

I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.

I pahuatia e ahau era atu hahi, i tango utu ahau i a ratou kia minita ai ahau ki a koutou.

And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

A i ahau i a koutou na, a i kore tetahi mea maku, kahore ahau i taimaha ki tetahi: na nga teina hoki, i to ratou haerenga mai i Makeronia, i whakawhiwhi ahau ki nga mea i kore i ahau: i nga mea katoa hoki i tiaki ahau i ahau kei taimaha iho ki a koutou; ina, ka tiaki pera ano ahau i ahau.

As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

I te mea kei ahau te pono o te Karaiti, e kore tenei whakamanamana aku e araia e tetahi i nga wahi o Akaia.

Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

Na te aha? na te mea koia kahore oku aroha ki a koutou? e matau ana te Atua.

But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

Ko taku ia e mea nei, e meinga ano e ahau, kia motuhia atu ai e ahau te take a te hunga e hiahia ana ki te take; kia kitea ai ratou i runga i ta ratou e whakamanamana nei e rite tahi ana ano ki a matou nei.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

He apotoro teka hoki nga pera, he kaimahi i te tinihanga, e whakaahua ana i a ratou kia rite ki nga apotoro a te Karaiti.

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

A ehara i te mea whakamiharo rawa; ina hoki a Hatana, e whakaahua ke ana i a ia hei anahera mo te marama.

Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Heoi ehara i te mea nui ki te whakaahua ke ano ana minita i a ratou kia rite ki nga minita o te tika; na, ko to ratou whakamutunga e rite ki a ratou mahi.

I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.

Me ki atu ano e ahau, Kaua tetahi e mea he wairangi ahau; a, ahakoa pena, heoi tahuri mai ki ahau, ki te wairangi, kia whakamanamana ai ano ahau, he mea iti nei.

That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

Ko taku e korero nei, ehara i te korero i runga i ta te Ariki, engari me te mea i runga i te wairangi, i tenei whakamanamana ka kaha nei.

Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

Na, ka tokomaha nei e whakamanamana i runga i to te kikokiko, ka whakamanamana ano hoki ahau.

For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.

E pai ana hoki koutou, e ata hanga ana ki te hunga wairangi, he hunga whakaaro hoki koutou.

For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

Ka ata hanga hoki koutou ki te whakataurekareka tetahi i a koutou, ki te pau a koutou mea i tetahi, ki te tangohia e ia hei herehere, ki te whakakake ia, ki te pahiatia e ia to koutou mata.

I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.

He korero whakaiti taku, ano he ngoikore matou. Na, ki te maia tetahi ki tetahi mea; he korero wairangi nei taku, ka maia ano ahau.

Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

He Hiperu ratou? ahau ano hoki. No Iharaira ratou? ahau ano hoki. He whanau ratou na Aperahama? pera ano hoki ahau.

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

He minita ratou na te Karaiti? He korero porangi taku nei, tera atu ano toku; hira atu oku mauiuitanga, maha noa atu oku meatanga ki roto ki nga whare herehere, nui noa atu oku whiunga, maha atu oku mate.

Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

E rima nga wa i whiua ai ahau e nga Hurai, e wha tekau panga o te whiu, haunga te kotahi.

Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

E toru oku whiunga ki te rakau, kotahi toku akinga ki te kohatu, tuatoru ahau ki te kaipuke pakaru, kotahi oku po, kotahi oku ra i te rire;

In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

I nga haereerenga maha, i nga oranga noatanga i nga awa, i nga oranga noatanga i nga kaipahua, i nga oranga noatanga i oku whanaunga, i nga oranga noatanga i nga tauiwi, i nga oranga noatanga i te pa, i nga oranga noatanga i te koraha, i nga ora nga noatanga i te moana, i nga oranga noatanga i nga teina teka;

In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

Mauiui ana, ngenge ana, he maha nga mataaratanga, nga matekaitanga, nga matewaitanga, he maha nga wa i nohopuku ai, i matao ai, i kore ai he kakahu.

Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

Hei tapiri mo nga mea o waho, ko te mea e pehi nei i ahau i tenei ra, i tenei ra, ko te manukanuka ki nga hahi katoa.

Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?

Ko wai te ngoikore ana, a kahore ahau e ngoikore? ko wai kua tutuki te waewae, a kahore ahau e pawerawera?

If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.

Ki te takoto te tikanga kia whakamanamana ahau, me whakamanamana ahau ki toku ngoikoretanga.

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

E matau ana te Atua, te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu, koia nei te whakapaingia ana ake tonu atu, kahore aku teka.

In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:

I Ramahiku e tiakina ana e te kawana i raro i a Kingi Areta te pa o nga tangata o Ramahiku, he mea kia hopukina ai ahau:

And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.

Heoi tukua iho ana ahau i roto i te kete, ra te matapihi, ra te taiepa kohatu, a mawhiti atu ana i roto i ona ringa.
