< 2 Corinthians 10 >

1 Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who indeed am lowly in presence among you, but am bold toward you when absent.
Anye Paulo, omwene enibhalembelesha kwo bhufula bwa Kristo. Anye ni mufula omwanya nili imbele yemwe, Nawe ninaobwiikanyibwa kwemwe omwanya nikabha kula nemwe.
2 But I pray not to be bold when present with the confidence by which I consider to be valiant toward some who consider us as walking according to flesh.
Enibhasabwa emwe ati, nikabhao amwi, nitakwenda okubha mubha nokwikomesha kwanye omwene. Nawe eniganilisha okubha namanaga omwanya nikabhabhuma bhaliya abhoabheganilisha ati echikala kulwo kulubha omubhili.
3 For though walking in flesh, we do not war according to flesh.
Kulwo kubha echilibhata kulwo kulubha omubhili, chitakulwana chinyamubhili.
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for the demolition of strongholds,
Kwo kubha ebhigwato ebyo echikolela okulwanila bhitali bye chinyamubhili. Nawe ni bya manage ga Nyamuanga gokunyamula obwikingo.
5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought captive into the obedience of the Christ,
Ona, echinyamula bhuli chinu echobhutulo bwa ingulu bwo bhumenyi bwa Nyamuanga.
6 and having in readiness to avenge every disobedience, whenever your obedience is fulfilled.
Nechilikula bhuli ganilisho mu bhugaya bwo kumungwa Kristo. Ne chibhona intambala bhuli bhikolwa elyo litali na bwolobha, no bwolobha bwemwe bhulibha bwa kumila.
7 Do ye look at things according to appearance. If any man has convinced himself to be of Christ, let him consider this again of himself, that, as he is of Christ, so also are we of Christ.
Lola chiliya chilibwelu imbele yemwe. Alabha wonawona unu keiikanyaga ati omwene ni wa Kristo, negalishe omwene ati lwa kutyo omwene ni wa Kristo, neswe one nikwo kutyo chili bha Kristo.
8 For even if I also should boast somewhat more abundantly about our authority (which the Lord gave us for building up and not for tearing you down), I will not be shamed,
Kwo kubha nolwo ndeyungwa kutoto obhutolo bweswe, bhunu Lata bhugenyi asosishe kulweswe okubhombaka emwe natali okubhanyamula, nitakulola nswalo.
9 so that I would not seem as if to terrify you by the letters.
Nitakwenda linu libhonekane ati enibhobhaisha emwe na jinyalubha jani.
10 Because, The letters, he says, are indeed weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is disdained.
Kwo kubha abhanu abhaika ati, “Jinyalubha jae jikomee na jina amanaga, Nawe chinyamubhili omwene mulenga. No bwaika bwae bhuteile okubhutegelesha.”
11 Let such a man think this, that such kind we are in word by letters when absent, we are also such kind when present in the work.
Abhanu bha insonga inu bhamenye ati chinu echaika kwo bhwangu omwanya gunu chili kula, nilwakutyo chilakola chilyao.
12 For we dare not classify or compare ourselves to some of those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves to themselves, do not understand.
Chitakuja kula muno lwo kwikuya eswe abhene okwisusanisha nabhanu abhekuya abhene. Nawe bhakelenga abhene na bhuli umwi webhwe, bhatana bhwenge.
13 But we will not boast in things immeasurable, but according to the measure of the standard that God apportioned to us, of a measure to reach even as far as you.
Eswe, nolo kutyo, chitakwikuya okulabha mumbibhi. Nawe, echikola kutyola munda ya jimbibhi jinu Nyamuanga achilengee eswe, jimbibhi jinu ejikinga obhulela lwo bhwemwe kutyo bhuli.
14 For it is not as not reaching for you. We overextend ourselves. For we even reached as far as you in the good news of the Christ,
Kulwokubha chiteyongesishe eswe abhene chejile obhakingako emwe. Chabhee bho kwamba okukinga obhulela bhwemwe ingulu ya Kristo.
15 not boasting in things immeasurable, in other men's labors, but having hope of your faith growing in you to be enlarged according to our measure for abundance,
Chichali kwikuya mundengo ye milimu ja bhandi. Nawe, echiikanya lwakutyo elikilisha lyemwe kutyo elikula olubhala lweswe lwe milimu lwa kutyo eliyongesha muno, naichali mumbibhi jakisi.
16 in order to preach the good news beyond you, not to boast in another measure, in things prepared.
Echiikanya kulinu, koleleki chibhone okulasha emisango jombwana mumikowa okukila emwe. Chichali kwikuya ingulu ye milimu jinu ejikolwa mumbala ejindi.
17 But he who boasts should boast in the Lord.
“Nawe wona wona unu kekuya, ekuye mu Latabhugenyi.”
18 For he who commends himself, that man is not approved, but whom the Lord commends.
Kulwokubha atali unu kekuya omwenela nawe unu kakuibhwa. Nawe, niunu Latabhugenyi kakuya.
