Sv. Pōvula pašaizlīdzeiba.
1 Ak, ka jyus kaut drusku grybātu pījimt munu naprōteibu. Jā, pījemit nu manis. 2 Es asmu pōrjimts par jums ar dīvišku centeibu; es jyusus sadarynōju vīnam veiram, lai jyusus, kai teiru jaunovu, stōdeitu prīškā Kristum. 3 Es beistūs, ka kai čyuska ar sovu viļteibu pīvyla Īvu, tai arī jyusu dūmu nasabūjōtu un nu Kristum pīnōceigōs vinkōršeibas un navaineibas naatrautu. 4 Un jo kas pi jums atgōjis kaidu cytu Jezu sludynōtu, na kai mes sludynojam, vai jyus cytu goru sajimtu, na asot sajāmuši, vai arī cytu Evangeliju dzērdātu, na kai jyus nu manis dzērdējot, tad varit sev pasaklauseit. 5 Bet es dūmoju, ka es par tū „dīžapostolu“ zamōks naasmu. 6 Lai arī es byutu naveikls runā, tad tūmār na atziņā, jo tū mes vysā un vysur skaidri asam pīrōdejuši.
7 Vai tad es asmu sagrākōjis? ka es, lai jyusus paaugstynōtu, sevi pazamynōju un bez atleidzeibas jums sludynōju Dīva Evangeliju? 8 Sajimdams nu jom pabolstu, cytas draudzes es asmu aplaupejis, lai varātu kolpōt jums. 9 Un kad es storp jums beju un tryukumu cīšu, es nivīna naapgryutynōju, un munam tryukumam paleidzēja brōli, kas nōce nu Makedonijas. Un tai es sorgōjūs, lai jyusu naapgryutynōtu, un arī uz prīšku es nu tō sorgōšūs. 10 Kai Kristus patīseiba ir manī, tai šytys dīžonums Achajas apgobolā man natiks nūslōpāts. 11 Kōpēc? Vai tōpēc, ka es jyusu namīļoju? — Tū zyna Dīvs. 12 Kū es doru, tū es dareišu arī uz prīšku, lai tim, kas mums dīžonumā grib leidzynōtīs, atjimtu ikvīnu izdeveibu. 13 Un tī cylvāki, kas izalīk par Kristus apostolim, ir vyltus apostoli, mōnu strodnīki. 14 Un nav kō breinōtīs. Jo pats satans izalīk par gaismas engeli. 15 Un nav nikas sevišks, ka arī jō kolpi izalīk par taisneibas kolpim. Jūs gols tūmār byus taids, kai jūs dorbi.
16 Un es atkōrtoju: Lai nivīns manis naskaita par muļki. Uu jo tūmār, tad skaitit mani par muļki tai, ka es ar sevi kaut par kū varātu dīžōtīs. 17 Kū es šymā gadejumā par dīžonumu soku, tō es nasoku Kristus gorā, bet gon kai nasaprosdams. 18 Jo tik daudzejī dīžojās par mīseigajom (lītom), tad arī es grybu dīžōtīs. 19 Jyus gon muļkus labprōt īcīšat, jo poši asot gudri. 20 Jyus pacīšat, jo kaids jyusus kalpynoj, izmontoj, jums pōresteibu dora, jyusus pōrspēj, jo kas jums par vaigu syt. 21 Sev par kaunu man ir jōatsazeist, ka mes šytō naspējam. Tūmār, kū kaids cyts īsadrūšynoj, — es runoju nasaprasšonā, — tū īsadrūšynoju arī es. 22 Jo jī ir ebreji, — arī es. Jo jī ir izraelīši, — arī es. Jo jī ir Abraama pēcnōcēji, — arī es. 23 Jo jī ir Kristus kolpi, — nasaprasšonā runoju — tū vairōk es: pōrmēreigajōs pyulēs, daudz vairōk īslūdzeišonā cītumūs, bezmēreigajā šausteišonā, pat bīži nōves brīsmōs, 24 nu jūdim es sajēmu pīcas reizes četrudemit sitīņu atjamūt vīnu. 25 Trejskōrteigi mani syta ar reikstem, reizi mātōja ar akminim, trejskōrteigi es pōrcīšu kuga avariju, vīnu dīnnakti es tyku plūseits jyurā. 26 Es daudzkōrt beju ceļōjumūs, upu yudiņu brīsmōs, slapkovu brīsmōs, nu ciļtsbrōlim brīsmōs, tūksnesī brīsmōs, nu pogōnim brīsmōs, piļsātā brīsmōs, uz jyuras brīsmōs, nu vyltus brōlim brīsmōs. 27 Es izcīšu pyules un tryukumu, bīži nūmūdā naktis, izolkumu un slōpes, daudz gavēņu, soltumu un plykumu. 28 Bez šytō vysa vēļ nōk klōtu ikdīniškōs ryupes un ryupes par vysom draudzem.
29 Kas tad palīk vōjs, man reizē vōjam napalīkūt? Kas īsaļaunoj, man naīsadagūt? 30 Jo ir jōsadīžoj, tad es dīžojūs par sovu vōjumu. 31 Dīvs, Kunga Jezus Tāvs zyna, ka es namaloju. Jys lai ir slaveits myužam!
32 Damaskas kēniņa Aretas pōrvaldnīks pavēlēja apsorgōt piļsātu, lai mani sakartu. 33 Bet mani caur lūgu pōri par myuru nūlaide peitinī un tai es nu jō rūkom izmuku.
1 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. 2 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. 3 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. 4 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 . 5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. 6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things. 7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely? 8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them , to do you service. 9 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 . 10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth. 12 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. 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 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.
16 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. 17 That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. 18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also. 19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise. 20 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. 21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also. 22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I. 23 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. 24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. 25 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; 26 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; 27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? 30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities. 31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not. 32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me: 33 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
