2 Wakorintu 10
1 Neni Paulu nuwabeliziyani mwenga kupitira unanagala na upoli wakuwi Kristu, wantu wamonga walonga neni pawera na mwenga nwera mnanagala kumbiti nkalipa pawera patali na mwenga.
Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly amongst you, but being absent am bold towards you.
2 Nuwaluwani mwenga namuntenda hweri mkalipa panizaku, toziya nakaka neni weza kukalipa kwa wantu walii yawatuhola twenga tulikala handa wantu wa pasipanu.
Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.
3 Tulikoma ndiri handa wantu wa pasipanu ntambu yawalikoma.
For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;
4 Toziya silaa zyatuzitendera mungondu mwetu ndo silaa zya pasipanu ndiri, kumbiti silaa zyatuzitendera ndo silaa zya likakala lya Mlungu, zyatuzitendera kuhalibisiya boma zyoseri. Twankuharabisiya visoweru vyoseri vya kupaya,
for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,
5 na tubomolanga kila shileweleru sha kulitumbira shashitulwa kulema kuvimana kwa Mlungu. Tutola kila liholu lyoseri na kulitenda limjimili Kristu.
throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
6 Twenga hatuweri kala kwazibu kila ntambu ya kujimira ndiri, mwenga pamuwera kala mukujimira.
and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.
7 Mwenga mlola vitwatira kwa kunja hera. Hashi, kwana muntu yoseri yakalihola kuwera yomberi ndo gwa Kristu? Yina! Yomberi su katuholi viraa twenga twawantu wa Kristu ntambu yakawera mweni.
Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.
8 Ata neni panulitumbira uwezu wakatupananiti Mtuwa, uwezu wa kuwanyawa pota na kuwabomolanga, hapeni moni soni kwa shitwatila ashi.
For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,
9 Neni nfira ndiri monikani nuwatenda mwenga mtili kwa hamba zyangu.
that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
10 Toziya muntu hakalongi, “Hamba zya Paulu zikalipa na ziwera na ujumbi utopera, kumbiti mweni pakawera na twenga, kawoneka kalegilegi na visoweru vyakuwi shintu ndiri.”
For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”
11 Su muntu kavimani, kwahera ntambu yingi mushilii shatulemba muhamba zyetu patuwera patali na shilii shatutenda patuwera panu pamuhera na mwenga.
Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
12 Twenga metujeri ndiri kulitula twaweni ama kulifana na walii yawalikwisa weni. Wantu yawalitenda kuwera shipimu sha kulipimira weni na pawalifananiziya weni kwa weni, womberi su wawera wazyigizyigi.
For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
13 Kumbiti twenga hapeni tulitumbi nentu, kulitumba aku hakusigali mushipimu sha lihengu lyakatupananiti Mlungu, lihengu lyatulitenda kwa mwenga.
But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
14 Twenga tulokiti ndiri mumipaka yawatutuliriti patwiziti kwa mwenga, twenga ndo twatulongoleriti kuwajegera Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Kristu.
For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,
15 Su twenga hapeni tulitumbiri lihengu lyawatenditi wamonga, kupita mumipaka yakatutuliriti Mlungu. Kumbiti tulitumbira kuwera njimiru yenu payongereka, lihengu lya twenga kwa mwenga haliwongeleki nentu.
not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labours, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,
16 Shakapanu hatuwezi kubwera Shisoweru Shiwagira muisi zimonga kutali na mwenga na hapeni tulitumbiri lihengu lyalitenditwi kala na wantu wamonga pahala pingi.
so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
17 Kumbiti Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga, “Muntu yakalitumba, kalitumbiri lihengu lyakatenditi Mtuwa.”
But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
18 Muntu yakajimilwa ndo ulii ndiri yakalizyuma mweni, kumbiti ulii yakazyumwa na Mtuwa.
For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
