2 Corinthians 12
1 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast, but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Lazima nijivunai, ila kiyelepi kakiyongisibhwa ni ehu. Bali nila yendelela ki maono ni mafunuo kuhomela kwa Bwana.
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.
Mmanyili munu mmonga kup'hetela kristu ambaye mlaka kumi na minne yailotili yayayele— kup'hetela mbhele, au kwibhala ni mbhele, nene ni manyili hee, k'yara ndo yaamanyili— anyakulibha kunani ku mbingu ya tete.
3 I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I do not know; God knows),
Na nimanyili ya kuwa munu oyho—ikayela kup'hetela mbhele, au kwibhala ni mbhele, nene ni manyili hee, k'yara amanyili.
4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
atolibhu hadi kupaladiso ni kup'hetela mambo matakatifu sana kwa munu yuoayola kughajobha.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
Kwaniaba ya munu kutya ogho nikajifuna. Ila kwajia ya yhoni nikajifuna hee yaibelili kuya labuda uzaifu bhuangu.
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.
Kutya nilonda kujifuna, nganiyele lepi na mpumbafu, kwa ndabha nganiyele nilongele ukueli. Ila nileka kujifuna, yakuwa asiye yuoayola wakufikilila zaidi ya agha kuleka kya kibhonekana mugati mwa nene au kup'eleka kuhomela kwa nene.
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.
Nikajifuna lepi ndabha agha mafunuo gha aina ya maajabu. Kwa ele, Nilaya lepi ni kiburi, mwifwa wa bhekibhu mgati kwa nene, mjumbe wa lisyetani kunishambulila nene, ili nisigeuki kuya kujo ya niyele ni majifuno.
8 Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
Mala sidatu nan'sihili Bwana kuhusu ele, ili muene abhosyai kuhomela kwa nene.
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.
Nimuene ajobhili, Neema ya nene yitosya kwa jia ya yhobhi, kwa ndabha nghofo yiketa kamili mu uzaifu. Efu, nakatamene kujifuna zaidi kuhusu uzaifu bhuangu, yakuwa ubhueso wa kristu ubhwesyai kutama panani pa nene.
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 elu nitoshiki kwajia ya kristu, kup'hetela uzaifu, kup'hetela malighu, kup'hetela shida, kup'hetela mateso, ni hali ya kusikitika. kwandabha magono gha mayele zaifu, kabhele nayele ni nghofo.
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.
Nene niyele na mpumbafu! muenga mwanilasimisi kwa ele, yakuwa kganiyele nisifibhu ni muenga, kwandabha nayele lepi duni kwa abhu yabhikutibhwa mitume- bora, hata kujobha nene khenu lepi.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
Ishala sa ukueli sa n'tume saketiki pagati payhomo kwa uvumilifu, ishala ni maajabu na matendo mabhaa.
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!
Kwa namna yeleku mwayele bha muhimu kwa pasi kuliko makanisa ghaghabakili, yaibelili kuya ndabha nayehee msighu kwa yhomo? mnisameheayi kwa likosa ele!
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.
Langai! nene niyele kuhida kwa yhomo kwa mala ya tatu. Nilaya hee msighu kwa yhomo, kwa ndabha nilonda hee khenu kakiyele kya yhomo. Nikabhalonda muenga. kwandabha bhana bhipasibhwa lepi kubheka akibha ya bhazazi. Badala yaki, bhazazi bhipasibhwa kubheka akiba kwajia ya bhana.
15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
Nilahobholela zaidi kutumila ni kutumibhwa kwajia ya nafasi situ. Kutya nibhaganili zaidi, nilondeka kubhagana padusu?
16 Even so, I myself did not burden you. But you might say that being crafty, I caught you with deception.
Lakini kutya kaiyele, nabhalemili lepi msighu muenga. Ila jobha yakuwa nene na mwelewa sana, nene ndo yhola yaabhakamuili muenga kwa niyele ya abhakabhili kwa kubhadanganya.
17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of those whom I have sent to you?
Ko, natolili kwa kujiketa faida kwa yuoayola yanantumili kwa muenga?
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?
Nansihili Tito kuhida kwa yhomo, na n'tumili ndhongo yhongi pamonga ni muen. Ko, Tito abhafwanyili faida kwa muenga? Ko, tagendili lepi kup'hetela njela yela yela? Ko, tagendili lepi mu nyayo sela sela?
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.
Mwibhona kujo muda obho bhwa twayele kujitetela tete tayhoto kwa yhomo? palongolo pa K'yara, ni kup'hetela kristu, tuyele kujobha kila khenu kwajia ya kubhaimalisha mwa yhomo.
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,
Kwandabha niyele ni hofu ya kuwa panibhwesyai kuhida nibhuesya nisibhakabhi muenga kutya kanitamani. Niye ni hofu ya kuwa mwibhuesya msinikabhi nene kutya kamwilonda. Nihofela ya kuwa kwibhuesya kuya ni majadiliano, bhuifu, milipuko ya ligoga, tamaa ya ubinafsi, umbeya, kiburi, ni ngondo.
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.
Niye ni hofu kabhele panibhwesyai kukelebhuka, k'yara wa nene ibhuesya kuninyenyekesya palongolo pa yhomo. Niye ni hofu ya kuwa nibhuesya kuhuzunishwa ni bhingi bhabhafwanyili zambi kabla ya henu, ni bhala ya bhatubwili lepi uchafu ni uashelati ni mambo gha tamaa gha bhiketa.
