2 Corinthians 12
1 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast, but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Chinalilape namose ngaikuŵajilwa, nambo chisale yankati yakwiwona ni uunukuko umbatile kutyochela kwa Ambuje.
2 I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago—whether in the body, I do not know, or whether out of the body, I do not know; God knows.
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.
3 I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I do not know; God knows),
Une nguimanyilila yakuti mundu jo ŵajigalikwe kwinani, nambo nganguimanyilila kanga ŵatemi kweleko mchiilu pane ngaŵa mchiilu, Akunnungu nsyene akwimanyilila.
4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
Kweleko kumbepo ko, ŵaipilikene indu yanti, indu yo ngaikusachilwa mundu kuiŵalanga.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
Nipele chinalilape kwaligongo lya mundu jwanti yele nambo ngangulilapa nansyene, ikaŵe chinalilape kwaligongo lya kulepetala kwangu.
6 For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.
Ngasachile kulilapa ngangaŵe jwakuloŵela, pakuŵa ngasasile isyene pe. Nambo ngulisiŵila, kuti jwalijose atakung'anichisya une mbundile nnope kwipunda yakwiwona njitendaga ni kwipilikana kutyochela kwangune.
7 By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
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.
8 Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
Nachondelele Ambuje katatu kuti kupeteka ko kundyoche.
9 He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
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.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
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.
11 I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
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.”
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
Imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka yaikumanyisya kuti une ndili nduna yapanganyikwe kukwenu kwa upililiu wose.
13 For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
Ana chindu chi changanimbanganya kukwenu chinachipangenye mu mipingo jine ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito? Nganinansausya kwakusaka mungamuchisye. Munechelesye chileŵo chi.
14 Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
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.
15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
Chinjisengwa nnope kupeleganya yose ingwete ni namose kulityosya nansyene kwaligongo lya kunkamusya ŵanyamwe. Ana chimunonyele kanandi pakuŵa nannonyele kwannnope?
16 Even so, I myself did not burden you. But you might say that being crafty, I caught you with deception.
Nipele chinjitichisye kuti nganinantopela. Nambo ŵane akuganisya kuti, “Pakuŵa che Paolo ali jwakalamuka, antanjisye kwakunlambusya.”
17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of those whom I have sent to you?
Ana panamtumile jwantenga kukwenu nampokwele chachili chose kwa litala lya jwantenga jula?
18 I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Did not we walk in the same spirit? Did not we walk in the same steps?
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?
19 Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
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.
20 For I am afraid that perhaps when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you do not desire, that perhaps there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,
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.
21 that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness, sexual immorality, and lustfulness which they committed.
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.
