2 Corinthians 10
1 Now by the mildness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am humble when face to face with you, but bold when away.
Nene Pauli namwene mwanilolekana kuvya mpoli penivya pamonga na nyenye, nambu nilolekana na mkali panivya patali na nyenye, nikuvayupa neju kwa lipyana na ubwina waki Kilisitu.
2 I beg you that when I come I may not need to be as bold as I expect toward those who presume that we live according to the flesh.
Nikuvayupa mkoto kunikita nivya na mkali lukumbi lwe nibwela, muni nina uchakaka nihotola kuvya na mkali kwa voha vala veviholalela kuvya titama chimundu.
3 For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.
Chakaka titama pamulima, nambu nakukomana ngondo ngati vandu va pamulima chevitovana.
4 The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
Muni, vindu vyatihengela kukomanela ngondo yitu lepi vya chimulima nambu makakala ga Chapanga gegigwisa ngomi za makoko zoha. Tihalabisa mambu goha ga udese,
5 We tear down arguments and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
na kubomola chindu chechimeka chechivikiwi ndava ya kubela umanya Chapanga, tikugakamula maholo goha na kugakita gamuyidikila Kilisitu.
6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.
Mukasindamala mukuyidakila, tete tijitendelekili kuhukumwa kila mundu yoyoha angayidakila.
7 You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that we belong to Christ just as much as he does.
Nyenye mlola mambu cha kuvala ndu. Wu, avi mundu yoyoha mwaiholalela kuvya mwene ndi mundu wa Kilisitu? Ena! Hinu mewawa atihololela tete kuvya vandu va Kilisitu ngati cheavili mwene.
8 For even if I boast somewhat excessively about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed.
Hati ngati nimeka neju ndava ya uhotola wetipewili na BAMBU ndava ya kuvasindamalisa nyenye muusadika lepi kubomola, ndava ya lenilo nikola lepi soni.
9 I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you by my letters.
Mbwitu muholalela kuvya nigana kuvayogopesa nyenye ndava ya mayandiku gangu.
10 For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is unimpressive, and his speaking is of no account.”
Mundu ihotola kujova, “Balua za Pauli zikali na zigegii malovi gegitopa, nambu Pauli mwene peivya pamonga na tete ndi mundu mpoli na hati peilongela malovi gaki ndi ngati lepi chindu.”
11 Such people should consider that what we are in our letters when absent, we will be in our actions when present.
Mundu mwaijova chenicho mbanga akumbukayi hoti kuvya mambu goha giwanangana gala gatiyandika mubalua lukumbi pativya kutali, na gala getikita lukumbi pativya na nyenye.
12 We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they show their ignorance.
Hinu ngatihotwi lepi kujivika amala kujiwanangisa vandu vala vevakujilumba vene. Vandu vevakujikita kuvya vene ndi chipimu cha kupimila vangi, vandu vevakujiwanangisa vene kwa vene, ndi vayimu.
13 We, however, will not boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you.
Nambu tete yati timeka lepi neju, kumeka kwenuko yati kwivya kwa chipimu chila cha lihengu leatigotolili Chapanga, lihengu letiyendelela kuhenga mewa kwinu.
14 We are not overstepping our bounds, as if we had not come to you. Indeed, we were the first to reach you with the gospel of Christ.
Kumeka kwitu tahumbili lepi mibaka yatavikiwi lukumbi lwatabwelili kwinu. Kuvaletela Lilovi la Bwina kumvala Kilisitu.
15 Neither do we boast beyond our limits in the labors of others. But we hope that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you will greatly increase as well,
Hinu, timekela lepi lihengu levakitili vandu vangi, nambu tisadika kuvya sadika yinu iyonjokeseka kukula pagati yinu muchipimu cheativikili Chapanga.
16 so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.
Penapo yati tihotola kukokosa Lilovi la Bwina pamulima wungi, patali na nyenye, ndi timekela lihengu litu, lepi kumekela lihengu levakitili vandu vangi pandu pangi.
17 Rather, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
Nambu ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, “Mweimeka amekela gala geahengili BAMBU.”
18 For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
Mundu mweiyidakiliwa lepi yula mweakujilumbalila mwene, nambu mundu yula mwailumbiwa na BAMBU.
