2 Corinthians 11
1 I hope you will bear with a little of my foolishness, but you are already doing that.
Dai muchindiitira moyo murefu zvishoma paupenzi hwangu; asiwo munondiitira moyo murefu.
2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
Nokuti ndine godo nemwi negodo raMwari; nokuti ndakakuwanisai kumurume umwe, kuti ndikukumikidzeimuri mhandara yakachena kuna Kristu.
3 I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.
Asi ndinotya kuti zvimwe nyoka sezvayakanyengera Evha nemano ayo, saizvozvo ndangariro dzenyu dzingatsauswa pauchokwadi huri muna Kristu.
4 For if someone comes and proclaims a Jesus other than the One we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit than the One you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it way too easily.
Nokuti kana anosvika achiparidza umwe Jesu watisina kuparidza, kana zvimwe muchigamuchira umwe mweya wamusina kugamuchira, kana imwe evhangeri yamusina kugamuchira, zvakanaka kuti muzviitire moyo murefu.
5 I consider myself in no way inferior to those “super-apostles.”
Nokuti ndinoona ndisingasariri nepadiki kuvaapositori vakurusa.
6 Although I am not a polished speaker, I am certainly not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every way possible.
Kanawo kunyange ndisina kudzidza pashoko, asi kwete paruzivo; asi pachinhu chese takaratidzwa kwamuri muzvinhu zvese.
7 Was it a sin for me to humble myself in order to exalt you, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?
Kana ndakaita chivi here pakuzvininipisa kuti imwi mukudzwe, nokuti ndakaparidza kwamuri evhangeri yaMwari pasina muripo?
8 I robbed other churches by accepting their support in order to serve you.
Ndakapamba amwe makereke, ndichitora muripo kuti ndikushandirei.
9 And when I was with you and in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have refrained from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.
Uye pandakange ndiripo kwamuri ndichishaiwa handina kuremedza munhu; nokuti zvandaishaiwa, hama dzaibva Makedhonia dzakapa; uye pazvese ndakazvichengeta kuti ndirege kuva mutoro kwamuri, uye ndichazvichengeta.
10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.
Chokwadi chaKristu chiri mandiri, kuti kuzvikudza uku hakungamiswi mandiri kumatunhu eAkaya.
11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
Nemhaka yei? Nokuti handikudii here? Mwari anoziva.
12 But I will keep on doing what I am doing, in order to undercut those who want an opportunity to be regarded as our equals in the things of which they boast.
Asi chandinoita, ndichaitawo, kuti ndigure mukana kune vanoshuva mukana; kuti pane zvavanozvikudza nazvo vawanikwe vakaita sesuwo.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
Nokuti vakadaro vaapositori venhema, vabati vanonyengera, vanozvishandura kuva vaapositori vaKristu.
14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
Hazvishamisiwo; nokuti Satani amene anozvishandura kuva mutumwa wechiedza.
15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.
Naizvozvo hachisi chinhu chikuru kana nevashumiri vake vachizvishandura kuita sevashumiri vekururama; kuguma kwavo kuchava semabasa avo.
16 I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
Ndinotizve: Ngakurege kuva nemunhu anofunga kuti ndiri benzi; asi kana zvisakadaro, sebenziwo ndigamuchirei, kuti neni ndizvikudze zvishoma.
17 In this confident boasting of mine, I am not speaking as the Lord would, but as a fool.
Zvandinotaura, handitauri sekuna Ishe, asi sepaupenzi, pachivimbo ichi chekuzvikudza.
18 Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I too will boast.
Sezvo vazhinji vachizvikudza panyama, iniwo ndichazvikudza.
19 For you gladly tolerate fools, since you are so wise.
Nokuti munoitira mapenzi moyo murefu nemufaro muri vakachenjera.
20 In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or exalts himself or strikes you in the face.
Nokuti munoita moyo murefu, kana munhu achikuisai muuranda, kana munhu achikudyai kupedza, kana munhu achikutapai, kana munhu achizvikudza, kana munhu achikurovai kumeso.
21 To my shame I concede that we were too weak for that! Speaking as a fool, however, I can match what anyone else dares to boast about.
Ndinoreva sechinyadzo, senge kuti isu takange tine utera. Asi pane chipi nechipi umwe paane ushingi (ndinotaura paupenzi), ini ndine ushingiwo.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
VaHebheru here? Neniwo. VaIsraeri here? Neniwo. Imbeu yaAbhurahama here? Neniwo.
23 Are they servants of Christ? I am speaking like I am out of my mind, but I am so much more: in harder labor, in more imprisonments, in worse beatings, in frequent danger of death.
Vashumiri vaKristu here? (Ndinotaura semupengo), ndinovapfuura, zvikurusa pamabasa anorema, pamavanga kupfuura chipimo, mumajere zvikurusa, pandufu kazhinji.
24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
KuVaJudha ndakagamuchira kashanu shamhu dzine makumi mana kusiya imwe.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked. I spent a night and a day in the open sea.
Katatu ndakarohwa netsvimbo, kamwe ndakatakwa nemabwe, katatu ndakaputsikirwa nechikepe, usiku humwe nemasikati ndakange ndiri muudziku hwegungwa;
26 In my frequent journeys, I have been in danger from rivers and from bandits, in danger from my countrymen and from the Gentiles, in danger in the city and in the country, in danger on the sea and among false brothers,
panzendo kazhinji, panjodzi dzenzizi, panjodzi dzemakororo, panjodzi nevekwangu, panjodzi nevahedheni, panjodzi muguta, panjodzi murenje, panjodzi mugungwa, panjodzi pakati pehama dzenhema;
27 in labor and toil and often without sleep, in hunger and thirst and often without food, in cold and exposure.
pakutambudzika nepakuremerwa, pakusarara kazhinji, panzara nenyota, pakutsanya kazhinji, pachando nepakushama.
28 Apart from these external trials, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.
Kunze kwezvinhu izvi zviri panze, kurangarira makereke ese kunondimanikidza zuva rimwe nerimwe.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with grief?
Ndiani anoshaiwa simba, neni ndikasashaiwa simba? Ndiani anogumburwa, neni ndikasatsva?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
Kana zvakafanira kuzvikudza, ndichazvikudza nezvinhu zveutera hwangu.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is forever worthy of praise, knows that I am not lying. (aiōn g165)
Mwari naBaba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, anorumbidzwa kusvikira rinhi narinhi, anoziva kuti handirevi nhema. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas secured the city of the Damascenes in order to arrest me.
PaDhamasiko mutungamiriri wamambo Areta wakarinda guta reveDhamasiko achida kundibata;
33 But I was lowered in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his grasp.
uye ndakaburuswa nepawindo ndiri mudengu nepamudhuri, ndikapukunyuka pamaoko ake.
