2 Corinthians 10
1 But I myself, Paul, am begging you, through the meekness and modesty of Christ. I am certainly, by appearances, lowly among you, yet I have confidence in you, even while I am absent.
Ngai Polo oyo namonani lokola moto na bolembu na miso na bino, kasi lokola moto ya makambo makasi tango nazalaka mosika, nazali kosenga na bino, na boboto mpe na bolingo ya Klisto:
2 So I am petitioning you, lest I be bold, when present, with that bold confidence that I am considered to have by certain ones who judge us as if we were walking according to the flesh.
Nabondeli bino, tango nakoya epai na bino, bopesa ngai nzela te ya kosalela makambo makasi oyo nazali kokanisa kolakisa epai ya bato oyo bakanisaka ete biso totambolaka na mosuni.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not battle according to the flesh.
Pamba te atako ezali penza ya solo ete tozali bato, mpe tozali kobika bomoi na biso kati na nzoto, kasi tobundaka te kolanda nzoto.
4 For the weapons of our battles are not carnal, yet still they are powerful with God, unto the destruction of fortifications: tearing down every counsel
Bibundeli oyo tobundaka na yango ezali ya bonzoto te, kasi ezali bibundeli ya nguya kati na Nzambe mpo na kokweyisa bandako batonga makasi. Solo, tobukaka makanisi ya mabe,
5 and height that extols itself contrary to the wisdom of God, and leading every intellect into the captivity of obedience to Christ,
tokweyisaka makanisi ya lokuta mpe nguya nyonso oyo etelemelaka boyebi ya Nzambe; tolongaka makanisi nyonso ya bomoto mpe tosalaka ete yango etosa Klisto.
6 and standing ready to repudiate every disobedience, when your own obedience has been fulfilled.
Lisusu, tomilengeli mpo na kopesa bozangi botosi nyonso etumbu, tango kaka botosi na bino ekokoka.
7 Consider the things that are in accord with appearances. If anyone trusts that by these things he belongs to Christ, let him reconsider this within himself. For just as he belongs to Christ, so also do we.
Botala penza makambo ndenge ezaleli. Soki ezali na moto oyo andimisami solo ete azali ya Klisto, ayeba mpe ete soki ye azali ya Klisto, biso mpe tozali ya Klisto lokola ye.
8 And if I were even to glory somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord has given to us for your edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed.
Bongo, ata namikumisaka koleka mpo na bokonzi oyo Nkolo apesa biso, mpo na kolendisa kondima na bino kasi mpo na kobebisa yango te, nakoyokela yango soni ata moke te
9 But let it not be said that I am scaring you by means of epistles.
mpo ete namonana te lokola nde nazali kobangisa bino na nzela ya mikanda na ngai.
10 For they say: “His epistles, indeed, are weighty and strong. But his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is contemptible.”
Pamba te bato mosusu balobaka: « Mikanda na ye ezalaka makasi mpe ebangisaka; kasi soki ye moko azali elongo na biso, azalaka na ye moto ya bolembu mpe maloba na ye ezalaka tina te. »
11 Let someone like this realize that whatever we are in word through epistles, while absent: we are much the same in deed, while present.
Boye tika ete moto oyo akanisaka bongo asimba likambo oyo: ndenge tolobaka kati na mikanda na biso tango tozalaka mosika na bino, ndenge wana mpe tokosala tango tokozala epai na bino.
12 For we would not dare to interpose or compare ourselves with certain ones who commend themselves. But we measure ourselves by ourselves, and we compare ourselves with ourselves.
Toboyi komikokanisa to komekana na bato mosusu oyo bamikumisaka bango moko, tango balukaka komikokanisa mpe komekana bango na bango. Solo, bazangi mayele!
13 Thus, we will not glory beyond our measure, but rather according to the measure of the limit which God has measured out to us, a measure which extends even to you.
Kasi biso, tokomikumisa te koleka ndelo; tokomikumisa kaka kati na bandelo ya mosala oyo Nzambe apesa biso, oyo mpe esali ete tokoma kino epai na bino.
14 For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we are not able to reach as far as you are able. For we have gone even as far as you have in the Gospel of Christ.
Solo, toleki bandelo na biso te lokola nde tokomaki te kino epai na bino, pamba te tokomaki penza kino epai na bino mpo na komemela bino Sango Malamu ya Klisto.
15 We are not glorying immeasurably over the labors of others. Instead, we hold on to the hope of your growing faith, so as to be magnified in you, according to our own limits, but in abundance,
Tomikumisaka te mpo na mosala ya bato mosusu; nzokande, tozali na elikya ete, wana kondima na bino ezali kokola, mosala na biso mpe ezali kokoba koya monene kati na bino kolanda bandelo ya mosala, oyo Nzambe apesa biso.
16 and even so as to evangelize in those places that are beyond you, not in order to glory in the measure of others, but rather in those things which have already been prepared.
Boye, tokoteya Sango Malamu kati na bituka oyo ezali mosika na bino. Pamba te toboyi na biso komikumisa na tina na mosala oyo bato mosusu basali kati na elanga na bango ya mosala.
17 But whoever glories, let him glory in the Lord.
Kasi tika ete moto oyo alingi komikumisa amikumisa kati na Nkolo!
18 For it is not he who commends himself who is approved, but rather he whom God commends.
Pamba te moto oyo bandimaka, ezali te oyo amilobelaka ye moko, kasi ezali nde oyo Nkolo atatolaka bosolo na tina na ye.
