2 Ŵakolinto 12
1 Chinalilape namose ngaikuŵajilwa, nambo chisale yankati yakwiwona ni uunukuko umbatile kutyochela kwa Ambuje.
I might boast, but it is not expedient; for I come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Ngummanyilila mundu jumo mwa Kilisito, ni sambano ipitile yaka likumi ni ncheche, mundu jo ŵajigalikwe kwinani. Ngangwimanyilila kanga mchiilu pane mu mbumu nambo Akunnungu akwimanyilila.
I knew a man in the Meshiha fourteen years ago, -whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not, Aloha himself knoweth, -who, this one himself, was rapt unto the third of heaven.
3 Une nguimanyilila yakuti mundu jo ŵajigalikwe kwinani, nambo nganguimanyilila kanga ŵatemi kweleko mchiilu pane ngaŵa mchiilu, Akunnungu nsyene akwimanyilila.
And I know this man himself, -but whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not, Aloha himself knoweth,
4 Kweleko kumbepo ko, ŵaipilikene indu yanti, indu yo ngaikusachilwa mundu kuiŵalanga.
-and he was rapt into paradise, and heard words which are not uttered, those which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5 Nipele chinalilape kwaligongo lya mundu jwanti yele nambo ngangulilapa nansyene, ikaŵe chinalilape kwaligongo lya kulepetala kwangu.
Of this I boast; but of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.
6 Ngasachile kulilapa ngangaŵe jwakuloŵela, pakuŵa ngasasile isyene pe. Nambo ngulisiŵila, kuti jwalijose atakung'anichisya une mbundile nnope kwipunda yakwiwona njitendaga ni kwipilikana kutyochela kwangune.
Yet if I willed to boast, I should not be a fool, for I say the truth; but I spare, lest any one think of me beyond that which he seeth me (to be), and what he heareth of me.
7 Nambo kuti aasiŵile une kulilapa kwannope kwa winji wa iunukuko, napotekwe mchiilu changu mpela ila ngusomwa ni miiŵa, jijaliji mpela jwantenga jwa Shetani kwa kunagasya ni kusiŵila kuti ngasililapa kwakupunda.
And that I might not be exalted by the abundance of revelations, there was delivered to me a stimulus of my flesh, an angel of Satana to buffet me, that I might not be exalted.
8 Nachondelele Ambuje katatu kuti kupeteka ko kundyoche.
Concerning this three times I entreated of my Lord that it might be removed from me.
9 Nombewo ŵaasalile, “Ntuuka wangu ukunjenela, pakuŵa ukombole wangu ukumalichika mu kulepetala.” Kwayele chinalilape kwa kwangala mu kulepetala kwangu kuti machili ga Kilisito gatame pachanya pangu.
And he said to me, My grace sufficeth thee; for my power in weakness is perfected. Gladly therefore will I boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Meshiha may overshadow me.
10 Kwa yele ngusengwa pangulepetala ni pangutukanwa ni pangusoŵekwa ni indu ni pangulagaswa ni pangusauka ligongo lya Kilisito. Pakuŵa naŵaga jwakulepetala, katema ko ni pingukola machili.
For this cause I am willing in infirmities, in reviling, in affliction, in persecutions, in distresses, for the sake of the Meshiha; for when I am weak, then am I strong.
11 Ndili mpela jwakuloŵela, nambo ŵanyamwe ni mundesisye meje jwanti nyi. Ŵanyamwe mwaŵajilwe kunapa une, pakuŵa naŵajilwe kulapikwa ni ŵanyamwe, ligongo atamuno nganima chindu nambo ngakunyichilila ŵele ŵakuliŵilanga, “Achinduna achakulu.”
Behold, I have been deficient in mind in my boasting, because you have constrained me; for you were debtors to bear witness concerning me; because in nothing am I less than those apostles who are the most eminent, nevertheless I am not any thing.
12 Imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka yaikumanyisya kuti une ndili nduna yapanganyikwe kukwenu kwa upililiu wose.
The signs of the apostles I have wrought among you in all patience, and with mighty acts and miracles and with powers.
13 Ana chindu chi changanimbanganya kukwenu chinachipangenye mu mipingo jine ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito? Nganinansausya kwakusaka mungamuchisye. Munechelesye chileŵo chi.
For in what have you been less than the other churches, except in this, that I have not burdened you? Forgive me this offence.
14 Nnole, sambano naliŵichile chile kunjimajimila kaatatu ni ngasinantopela. Ngangusaka ipanje yenu nambo ngunsaka mwachinsyene. Pakuŵa achaŵelesi akwaŵichila mbiko achiŵana ŵao nambo ŵanache ngakwaŵichila mbiko achaŵelesi ŵao.
Behold, this is three times that I prepare to come to you, and not to burden you; for I seek not yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasures for the parents, but the parents for their children.
15 Chinjisengwa nnope kupeleganya yose ingwete ni namose kulityosya nansyene kwaligongo lya kunkamusya ŵanyamwe. Ana chimunonyele kanandi pakuŵa nannonyele kwannnope?
But I gladly the expenses will spend, and also myself will I give for the sake of your souls: though, while the more I love you, you the less love me.
16 Nipele chinjitichisye kuti nganinantopela. Nambo ŵane akuganisya kuti, “Pakuŵa che Paolo ali jwakalamuka, antanjisye kwakunlambusya.”
And, perhaps, (though) I did not burden you, yet (it may be said), as a crafty man with deceit I have robbed you.
17 Ana panamtumile jwantenga kukwenu nampokwele chachili chose kwa litala lya jwantenga jula?
By any other whom I have sent to you have I made prey of you?
18 Nanchisisye che Tito ni kwatuma pamo ni nlongo njetu jwine. Uli che Tito ŵanjiŵile? Ana ngankuimanyilila kuti uwe twapanganyisye masengo kwa nningwa umo, ni tukupanganya chindu kwa litala lilalila?
Of Titos I requested, and sent with him the brethren. In any thing has Titos made prey of you? Have we not walked in one spirit, and in the same steps?
19 Ana nkuganisya kuti mpaka sambano tukulichenjela twachinsyene kukwenu? Uweji tukuŵecheta paujo pa Akunnungu tuli tulumbikene ni Kilisito. Achambusanga ŵangu yele yose tukwipanganya kwa kunlimbisya ŵanyamwe.
DO you again consider that we apologize to you? Before Aloha in the Meshiha do we speak; and all, my beloved, for the sake of your up-building.
20 Ngogopa, apala pachinjiika kukwenu ndakunsimana nganimma inguti pakusaka une, mbesi chimoneche kukwenu ingangusaka moneche. Ngogopa kunsimana nli ni umani ni wiu ni ugongomalo ni makani ni kulambuchisyana ni kunong'onana ni kulifuna ni utindiganyo pasikati jenu.
For I fear lest, when I come to you, I should not find you as I wish, but should find you what you would not wish: lest there be contention and envy, and wrath and angry talk, and accusations and murmurings, and pompousness and agitation:
21 Ngogopa kuti pachiiche sooni, Akunnungu ŵangu chanyalusye mmbujo mwenu, noneji chinjililasika kwaligongo lya aŵala ŵandu ŵatesile sambi kalakala nambo nganaleka usakwa wao ni chigwagwa ni chikululu chiŵatesile.
and lest, when I come to you, my God may humiliate me, and I may have to lament over many who have sinned, and have not repented of the uncleanness and of the fornication and of the lasciviousness which they have committed.
