2 Corinthians 11
Maori Bible
11 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Ki ahau hoki kahore rawa ahau i hoki iho i nga tino apotoro.
6 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.
7 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?
8 I pahuatia e ahau era atu hahi, i tango utu ahau i a ratou kia minita ai ahau ki a koutou.
9 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.
10 I te mea kei ahau te pono o te Karaiti, e kore tenei whakamanamana aku e araia e tetahi i nga wahi o Akaia.
11 Na te aha? na te mea koia kahore oku aroha ki a koutou? e matau ana te Atua.
12 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.
13 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.
14 A ehara i te mea whakamiharo rawa; ina hoki a Hatana, e whakaahua ke ana i a ia hei anahera mo te marama.
15 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.
16 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.
17 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.
18 Na, ka tokomaha nei e whakamanamana i runga i to te kikokiko, ka whakamanamana ano hoki ahau.
19 E pai ana hoki koutou, e ata hanga ana ki te hunga wairangi, he hunga whakaaro hoki koutou.
20 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.
21 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.
22 He Hiperu ratou? ahau ano hoki. No Iharaira ratou? ahau ano hoki. He whanau ratou na Aperahama? pera ano hoki ahau.
23 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.
24 E rima nga wa i whiua ai ahau e nga Hurai, e wha tekau panga o te whiu, haunga te kotahi.
25 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;
26 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;
27 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.
28 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.
29 Ko wai te ngoikore ana, a kahore ahau e ngoikore? ko wai kua tutuki te waewae, a kahore ahau e pawerawera?
30 Ki te takoto te tikanga kia whakamanamana ahau, me whakamanamana ahau ki toku ngoikoretanga.
31 E matau ana te Atua, te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu, koia nei te whakapaingia ana ake tonu atu, kahore aku teka.
32 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:
33 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.

Paul and the False Apostles
11 I hope you will put up with(A) me in a little foolishness.(B) Yes, please put up with me! 2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband,(C) to Christ, so that I might present you(D) as a pure virgin to him. 3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning,(E) your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 4 For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached,(F) or if you receive a different spirit(G) from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel(H) from the one you accepted, you put up with it(I) easily enough.
5 I do not think I am in the least inferior to those “super-apostles.”[a](J) 6 I may indeed be untrained as a speaker,(K) but I do have knowledge.(L) We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way. 7 Was it a sin(M) for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by preaching the gospel of God(N) to you free of charge?(O) 8 I robbed other churches by receiving support from them(P) so as to serve you. 9 And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed.(Q) I have kept myself from being a burden to you(R) in any way, and will continue to do so. 10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me,(S) nobody in the regions of Achaia(T) will stop this boasting(U) of mine. 11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows(V) I do!(W)
12 And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about. 13 For such people are false apostles,(X) deceitful(Y) workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.(Z) 14 And no wonder, for Satan(AA) himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.(AB)
Paul Boasts About His Sufferings
16 I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool.(AC) But if you do, then tolerate me just as you would a fool, so that I may do a little boasting. 17 In this self-confident boasting I am not talking as the Lord would,(AD) but as a fool.(AE) 18 Since many are boasting in the way the world does,(AF) I too will boast.(AG) 19 You gladly put up with(AH) fools since you are so wise!(AI) 20 In fact, you even put up with(AJ) anyone who enslaves you(AK) or exploits you or takes advantage of you or puts on airs or slaps you in the face. 21 To my shame I admit that we were too weak(AL) for that!
Whatever anyone else dares to boast about—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast about.(AM) 22 Are they Hebrews? So am I.(AN) Are they Israelites? So am I.(AO) Are they Abraham’s descendants? So am I.(AP) 23 Are they servants of Christ?(AQ) (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder,(AR) been in prison more frequently,(AS) been flogged more severely,(AT) and been exposed to death again and again.(AU) 24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes(AV) minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods,(AW) once I was pelted with stones,(AX) three times I was shipwrecked,(AY) I spent a night and a day in the open sea, 26 I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews,(AZ) in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city,(BA) in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers.(BB) 27 I have labored and toiled(BC) and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food;(BD) I have been cold and naked. 28 Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.(BE) 29 Who is weak, and I do not feel weak?(BF) Who is led into sin,(BG) and I do not inwardly burn?
30 If I must boast, I will boast(BH) of the things that show my weakness.(BI) 31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is to be praised forever,(BJ) knows(BK) that I am not lying. 32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me.(BL) 33 But I was lowered in a basket from a window in the wall and slipped through his hands.(BM)
