1 W axaan jeclaan lahaa inaad iigu dulqaadataan doqonnimadayda yar. Laakiin waad ii dulqaadataan.

I wish you would bear with me while I indulge in a little foolishness. Do bear with me!

2 W axaan idiinku masayrsanahay masayr xagga Ilaah ah, waayo, waxaan idiin guuriyey nin keliya, inaan idiin dhiibo Masiix idinkoo ah bikrad daahir ah.

For I am zealous for you with a godly eagerness and a divine jealousy, for I have betrothed you to one Husband, to present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

3 L aakiin waxaan ka baqayaa in maankiinna laga halleeyo lillaahinimada iyo daahirnimada xagga Masiix, sidii abeesadii xeeladdeedii Xaawa ugu khiyaanaysay oo kale.

But I am fearful, lest that even as the serpent beguiled Eve by his cunning, so your minds may be corrupted and seduced from wholehearted and sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

4 W aayo, 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.

For if a man comes and preaches another Jesus than the One we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the you received or a different gospel from the one you received and welcomed; you tolerate well enough!

5 W axaan u malaynayaa inaanan sina uga liidan rasuulladaas ugu waaweyn.

Yet I consider myself as in no way inferior to these extra-super apostles.

6 L aakiin in kastoo aanan hadalka ku fiicnayn, aqoonta waan ku fiicanahay, oo taasaannu si kasta idiinku muujinnay dadka oo dhan hortiisa.

But even if unskilled in speaking, yet not in knowledge; we have made this evident to you in all things.

7 D embi miyaan falay markaan is-hoosaysiiyey in idinka laydin sarraysiiyo, maxaa yeelay, injiilka Ilaah ayaan idinku wacdiyey hadiyad ahaan?

But did I perhaps make a mistake and do you a wrong in debasing and cheapening myself so that you might be exalted and enriched in dignity and honor and happiness by preaching God’s Gospel without expense to you?

8 K iniisado kale ayaan dhacay, anigoo mushahaaro ka qaadaya, si aan idiinku adeego.

Other churches I have robbed by accepting support for my ministry to serve you.

9 M arkaan 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.

And when I was with you and ran short financially, I did not burden any, for what I lacked was abundantly made up by the brethren who came from Macedonia. So I kept myself from being burdensome to you in any way, and will continue to keep.

10 S ida Masiixa runtiisu ay iigu jirto, faankan laygama joojin doono xagga dalalka Akhaya.

As the truth of Christ is in me, this my boast shall not be debarred (silenced or checked) in the regions of Achaia (most of Greece).

11 W aayo? Ma waxay tahay inaanan idin jeclayn? Ilaah baa garan.

And why? Because I do not love you ? God perceives and knows that I do!

12 L aakiin 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.

But what I do, I will continue to do, in order to cut off the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted they work on the same terms that we do.

13 K uwaas oo kale waa rasuullo been ah iyo shaqeeyayaal khaa'inno ah iyagoo isu ekaysiinaya rasuullada Masiix.

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles (special messengers) of Christ (the Messiah).

14 O o layaabna ma leh, waayo, Shayddaanka qudhiisu wuxuu isu ekaysiiyaa malaa'igta iftiinka.

And it is no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light;

15 H addaba wax weyn ma aha haddii ay midiidinyadiisuna isu ekaysiiyaan midiidinyada xaqnimada, iyagoo dhammaanshahoodu u ahaan doono sida shuqulladooda. Bawlos Oo Ku Dhibaatooday Rasuulnimadiisii

So it is not surprising if his servants also masquerade as ministers of righteousness. their end will correspond with their deeds.

16 H addana waxaan leeyahay, Qofna yaanu doqon ii malayn, laakiin haddaad ii malaysaan, weliba sida doqon ii qaata inaan aniguna in yar faano.

I repeat then, let no one think I have lost my wits; but even if you do, then bear with a witless man, so that I too may boast a little.

17 W axaan ku hadlayo ugu hadli maayo sida Rabbigu doonayo, laakiin si doqonnimo ah iyo si geesinimadan faanka ah ayaan ugu hadlayaa.

What I say by way of this confident boasting, I say not with the Lord’s authority but, as it were, in pure witlessness.

18 S iday kuwa badanu jidhka ugu faanaan, ayaan anna ugu faani doonaa.

since many boast of worldly things and according to the flesh, I will glory (boast) also.

19 W aayo, idinku si farxadleh ayaad doqonnada ugu dulqaadataan idinkoo caqli leh.

For you readily and gladly bear with the foolish, since you are so smart and wise yourselves!

20 I dinku waad u dulqaadataan nin hadduu idin addoonsado, hadduu wixiinna cuno, hadduu wax idinka qaato, hadduu isa sarraysiiyo, hadduu wejiga idinka dharbaaxo.

For you endure it if a man assumes control of your souls and makes slaves of you, or devours and preys upon you, or deceives and takes advantage of you, or is arrogant and puts on airs, or strikes you in the face.

21 W aan 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).

To my discredit, I must say, we have shown ourselves too weak! But in whatever any person is bold and dares —mind you, I am speaking in this foolish (witless) way—I also am bold and dare.

22 I yagu ma Cibraaniyo baa? Anna waan ahay. Ma reer binu Israa'iil baa? Anna waan ahay. Ma dhashii Ibraahim baa? Anna waan ahay.

They are Hebrews? So am I! They are Israelites? So am I! They are descendants of Abraham? So am I!

23 I yagu 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.

Are they servants of Christ (the Messiah)? I am talking like one beside himself, I am more, with far more extensive and abundant labors, with far more imprisonments, with countless stripes, and frequently death.

24 S han goor Yuhuuddu waxay i karbaasheen afartan mid la'.

Five times I received from the Jews forty but one;

25 S addex goorna ulaa laygu dhuftay, marna waa lay dhagxiyey, saddex goor doonni baa ila jabtay, habeen iyo maalinna waxaan ku jiray badda.

Three times I have been beaten with rods; once I was stoned. Three times I have been aboard a ship wrecked at sea; a night and a day I have spent on the deep;

26 M arar 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.

Many times on journeys, perils from rivers, perils from bandits, perils from nation, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the desert places, perils in the sea, perils from those posing as believers;

27 W axaanna ku jiray dhib iyo daal, marar badanna hurdola'aan iyo gaajo iyo harraad, marar badanna cuntola'aan iyo qabow iyo arrad.

In toil and hardship, watching often, in hunger and thirst, frequently driven to fasting by want, in cold and exposure and lack of clothing.

28 W axyaalahaas dibadda ahna waxaa ii dheeraad ah waxaa maalin walba i dhiba ee ah kawelwelidda kiniisadaha oo dhan.

And besides those things that are without, there is the daily of my care and anxiety for all the churches!

29 K umaa itaaldaran oo anna aanan itaal darnayn? Kumaa la xumeeyey oo aanan ka guban?

Who is weak, and I do not feel weakness? Who is made to stumble and fall and have his faith hurt, and I am not on fire ?

30 H adday tahay inaan faano waxaan ku faanayaa waxyaalaha ku saabsan itaaldarradayda.

If I must boast, I will boast of the things that my infirmity.

31 I laaha ah Aabbaha Rabbi Ciise, kan barakada leh weligiis, wuxuu yaqaan inaanan been sheegaynin.

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ knows, He Who is blessed and to be praised forevermore, that I do not lie.

32 X agga Dimishaq taliyihii ka hooseeyey boqorkii Aretas ahaa ayaa gaadh ka qabtay magaalada reer Dimishaq si uu ii qabto.

In Damascus, the city governor acting under King Aretas guarded the city of Damascus to arrest me,

33 M arkaas anigoo dambiil ku jira ayaa daaqad xagga derbiga hoos laygaga dejiyey oo aan gacmihiisii ka baxsaday.

And I was let down in a basket or hamper through a window (a small door) in the wall, and I escaped through his fingers.
