2 Corinthians 11

1 I hope you will put up with a little of my foolishness, but you are already doing that.

1 请你们包容我的这点愚妄吧！我知道你们一定会包容我。

2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.

2 我以上帝痛恨不贞的爱爱你们。因为我曾把你们当作贞洁的少女许配给一位丈夫——基督。

3 I 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.

3 但我真怕你们会像被狡猾的蛇欺骗的夏娃一样，思想受迷惑，失去了对基督纯真专一的心。

4 For 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 very easily.

4 有人来传另一位耶稣——与我们所传的不同，或要你们接受另一个灵——与你们所接受的不同，或要你们相信另一种福音——与你们所相信的不同，你们竟欣然容忍。

5 I consider myself in no way inferior to those “super-apostles.”

5 我想，我一点也不比那些“超级使徒”差。

6 Although I am not a polished speaker, I am certainly not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every way possible.

6 我虽然不善辞令，但我认识真理。这一点，我们在各方面已经向你们证明了。

7 Was 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?

7 我为了把上帝的福音白白地传给你们，甘愿卑微，以提升你们，我这样做有罪吗？

8 I robbed other churches by accepting their support in order to serve you.

8 我“抢夺”其他教会，拿了他们的资助，来服侍你们。

9 And 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.

9 我在你们那里经济拮据的时候，没有拖累过你们任何人，因为马其顿来的弟兄补足了我的缺乏。我没有在任何方面成为你们的负担，将来也不会成为你们的负担。

10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.

10 我凭我心中基督的真理说，亚该亚地区无人会阻止我这样夸口。

11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!

11 为什么呢？难道我不爱你们吗？上帝知道我爱你们！

12 But 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.

12 我现在所做的，将来还会继续做下去，为了要断绝那些投机分子的机会，使他们无法在所夸耀的事上被认为与我们一样。

13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.

13 其实这些人是假使徒，为人诡诈，冒充基督的使徒。

14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

14 这不足为奇，因为连撒旦都装成光明的天使，

15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.

15 它的爪牙若冒充公义的仆人，又何足为奇呢？他们最终必得到应得的报应。

16 I 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.

16 我再说，谁也别把我当作傻瓜。你们如果真这么想，那就把我当傻瓜看待吧！好让我也能说几句自夸的话。

17 In this confident boasting of mine, I am not speaking as the Lord would, but as a fool.

17 我这样说，并不是主的意思，而是像一个傻瓜一样夸口。

18 Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I too will boast.

18 既然许多人凭血气夸口，我当然也可以夸口。

19 For you gladly put up with fools, since you are so wise.

19 因为你们这些聪明人竟然甘愿忍受那些傻瓜，

20 In 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.

20 就算有人奴役、剥削、利用、侮辱你们，打你们耳光，你们都能逆来顺受！

21 To 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.

21 惭愧得很，我必须说，我们太软弱了，做不出那样的事！ 然而，别人敢夸口的，我再讲一句傻话，我也敢。

22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.

22 他们是希伯来人，我也是。他们是以色列人，我也是。他们是亚伯拉罕的子孙，我也是。

23 Are they servants of Christ? (I am speaking as if I were out of my mind.) I am so much more: in harder labor, in more imprisonments, in worse beatings, in frequent danger of death.

23 他们自称是基督的仆人，我说句狂话，我更是！我比他们更辛苦，坐牢更多，身受更重的鞭打，经常出生入死。

24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.

24 我被犹太同胞鞭打了五次，每次三十九鞭 ，

25 Three 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.

25 被人用棍打了三次，用石头打了一次，遇到船难三次，曾在大海上漂浮了一天一夜。

26 In 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,

26 我常常四处奔波，遭遇江河的危险、盗贼的威胁、同胞的威胁、外族的威胁、城中的危险、旷野的危险、海上的危险和假信徒的威胁。

27 in labor and toil and often without sleep, in hunger and thirst and often without food, in cold and exposure.

27 我劳碌困苦，不得安眠，又饥又渴，挨饿受冻，赤身露体。

28 Apart from these external trials, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.

28 此外，我还挂虑众教会的事，天天承受着压力。

29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with grief?

29 有谁软弱，我不感同身受呢？有谁失足犯罪，我不心急如焚呢？

30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

30 如果一定要夸耀，我情愿夸耀自己的软弱。

31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is forever worthy of praise, knows that I am not lying.

31 主耶稣的父上帝永受称颂，祂知道我不撒谎。

32 In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas secured the city of the Damascenes in order to arrest me.

32 在大马士革的时候，亚哩达王手下的总督吩咐人把守城门，要逮捕我。

33 But I was lowered in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his grasp.

33 我被人用筐子从城墙上的窗户缒下去，才逃出他的手掌。
