< 2 Corinthians 11 >

1 Would that ye would bear with me [in] a little folly; but indeed bear with me.
Ikaliji mbaya nkaambililile kanondi mu kuloŵela kwangu, ngummenda, mumbililile kanondi.
2 For I am jealous as to you with a jealousy [which is] of God; for I have espoused you unto one man, to present [you] a chaste virgin to Christ.
Ngunkolela wiu mpela ila Akunnungu yakuti kunkolela wiu, pakuŵa ŵanyamwe nli mpela mwalimwalipe junantomele kwaligongo lya jwannume jumo pe, jwele jwannume jo ali Kilisito.
3 But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craft, [so] your thoughts should be corrupted from simplicity as to the Christ.
Nambo ngogopa kuti, mpela ila lijoka ilyatite pakunlambusya che Hawa kwa ukalamuche wakwe, iyoyopeyo nganisyo syenu sikalyungaswa mpaka kuleka kulityosya kwenu kwa ntima wambone kwa Kilisito.
4 For if indeed he that comes preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or ye get a different Spirit, which ye have not got, or a different glad tidings, which ye have not received, ye might well bear with [it].
Pakuŵa aikaga mundu jwalijose kukunlalichila Che Yesu jwine jwanganitunlalichila uwe, ngunsimonga pakuŵa ŵanyamwe nkupililila. Ni ŵanyamwe nkumpochela mbumu jwine jwangaŵa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ajula jumwampochele. Ni nkujipochela ngani jambone jiine ni ngaŵa Ngani Jambone jimwalalichilwe jila!
5 For I reckon that in nothing I am behind those who are in surpassing degree apostles.
Nganguganisya kuti chiisoŵile chindu chalinacho ŵakuliŵilanga, “Achinduna ŵakulu.”
6 But if [I am] a simple person in speech, yet not in knowledge, but in everything making [the truth] manifest in all things to you.
Nachiŵamuno nganingola umanyilisi wakuŵecheta yambone nambo ngwete umanyilisi. Noweji tulosisye yelei paujo penu papali pose ni katema kose.
7 Have I committed sin, abasing myself in order that ye might be exalted, because I gratuitously announced to you the glad tidings of God?
Uli, natesile sambi panalitulwisye nansyene ni kunkusya ŵanyamwe, pananlalichile Ngani Jambone ja Akunnungu pangali malipilo?
8 I spoiled other assemblies, receiving hire for ministry towards you.
Panatumikaga pasikati jenu, napochele ukamusi kutyochela kwa mipingo jine ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Ni kwa yele naliji mpela ngwapokola ŵelewo kuti ngombole kuntumichila ŵanyamwe.
9 And being present with you and lacking, I did not lazily burden any one, (for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied what I lacked, ) and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will keep myself.
Panaliji ni ŵanyamwe, nganinanlagasya jwalijose panasakaga chindu chachili chose. Pakuŵa achinjetu ŵaŵaumile ku Makedonia ŵambelechele yose iyasoŵaga. Nganisaka kummenda ŵanyamwe chachili chose ni napundile kutenda yeleyo.
10 [The] truth of Christ is in me that this boasting shall not be stopped as to me in the regions of Achaia.
Mpela ila usyene wa Kilisito yautite kuŵa nkati mwangu, ngapagwa mundu jwali jose mu chilambo chose cha ku Akaya juchakombole kusiŵila une kulilapila chelecho.
11 Why? because I do not love you? God knows.
Kwa chichi nguŵecheta yele? Ana ligongo ngangunnonyela ŵanyamwe? Ngwamba! Akunnungu akuimanyilila kuti ngunnonyela.
12 But what I do, I will also do, that I may cut off the opportunity of those wishing [for] an opportunity, that wherein they boast they may be found even as we.
Nambo indu inguipanganya chimbunde kuipanganya, kuti naajime lipesa aŵala ŵakuliŵilanga “Achinduna ŵakulu,” aŵala ŵakusosa lipesa lya kulilapa kuti akupanganya masengo mpela uwe.
13 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
Ŵandu ŵanti yeleyo ali achinduna ŵa unami, akupanganya masengo gao kwakulambusya achilitendaga kuti ali achinduna ŵa Kilisito.
14 And [it is] not wonderful, for Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.
Ngaŵa chindu chakusimonga, pakuŵa namose Shetani nsyene akukombola kulitenda kuti, ali katumetume jwa kwinani jwa lilanguka.
15 It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Kwapele ngaŵa chindu cha kuchisimonga, yaŵaga nombewo achikatumetume ŵa Shetani akulitenda ali ŵakutumichila ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu. Nambo mbesi jao chalamulikwe malinga ni ipanganyo yao.
16 Again I say, Let not any one think me to be a fool; but if otherwise, receive me then even as a fool, that I also may boast myself some little.
Nguti sooni, mundu jwalijose ngasang'anichisya jwakuloŵela une, nambo mwang'anichisyaga yeleyo, mumalanjile mpela jwakuloŵela, kuti none nalilape kanandi.
17 What I speak I do not speak according to [the] Lord, but as in folly, in this confidence of boasting.
Chinguŵecheta sambano ngaŵa chanajisye Ambuje mechete, nambo yankati chindu chakulilapa chi, uneji nguŵecheta mpela jwakuloŵela.
18 Since many boast according to flesh, I also will boast.
Ŵandu ŵajinji akulilapa mpela ŵandu ŵa pachilambo yakuti pakulilapa. Kwaligongo lyo, noneji chinalilape iyoyo peyo.
19 For ye bear fools readily, being wise.
Ŵanyamwe nkuliganichisya kuti nkwete lunda, kwayele nkwapililila ŵakuloŵela nkusengwa.
20 For ye bear if any one bring you into bondage, if any one devour [you], if any one get [your money], if any one exalt himself, if any one beat you on the face.
Pakuŵa nkumpililila mundu jwakuntenda ŵanyamwe achikapolo, ni jwakunjiŵila ipanje yenu ni jwakunjigala pangankusaka, achinnyelusyaga ni kumputa majanda ku meeso.
21 I speak as to dishonour, as though we had been weak; but wherein any one is daring, (I speak in folly, ) I also am daring.
Ngwete soni pangwitichisya kuti twaliji ŵakulepetala mkupanganya yeleyo. Iŵeje yanti yose, iŵaga kwana mundu jwalijose akukombola kulilapila chindu, none jwakwe ngulinga kulilapa, sambano nguŵecheta mpela jwakuloŵela.
22 Are they Hebrews? I also. Are they Israelites? I also. Are they seed of Abraham? I also.
Ana ŵelewo ali Ŵaebulania? None jwakwe ndili Mueblania. Ana ŵelewo ali Ŵaisilaeli? None jwakwe ndili mu Isilaeli. Ana ŵelewo ali ŵa lukosyo lu che Iblahimu? None jwakwe ndili jwa lukosyo lu che Iblahimu.
23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as being beside myself) I above measure [so]; in labours exceedingly abundant, in stripes to excess, in prisons exceedingly abundant, in deaths oft.
Ana ali ŵakutumichila ŵa Kilisito? Une ndili jwakwapunda ŵelewo, none nguŵecheta mpela jwampugwe kuti uneji ndili jwakutumichila jwambone. Une nagapangenye masengo gakulimba kwapunda ŵelewo ni nataŵikwe kwapunda ŵelewo ni naputikwe kwapunda ŵelewo ni kakajinji naŵandichile kuwa kwapunda ŵelewo.
24 From the Jews five times have I received forty [stripes], save one.
Kasano Ŵayahudi ŵambutile iboko selasini ni tisa.
25 Thrice have I been scourged, once I have been stoned, three times I have suffered shipwreck, a night and day I passed in the deep:
Katatu Ŵaloma ŵambutile iboko ni kamo naponyekwe maganga. Ni katatu jangasichile ngalaŵa jajikulungwa mu bahali ni nalonjele mu bahali chilo ni musi.
26 in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from [my own] race, in perils from [the] nations, in perils in [the] city, in perils in [the] desert, in perils on [the] sea, in perils among false brethren;
Najesile kakajinji, naliji mchakogoya chakukumbwa ni meesi, naliji mchakogoya ni ŵachiswamba ni naliji mchakogoya ni Ŵayahudi achinjangu ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Naliji mchakogoya mu mmisi ni naliji mchakogoya mwipululu ni naliji mchakogoya mu bahali ni naliji mchakogoya kwa achambusanga ŵangu ŵa unami.
27 in labour and toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
Ndesile masengo gakulimba ni kulaga ni njesisye kakajinji. Kakajinji jangwete sala ni njota ni kakajinji nganingola chakulya ni kakajinji naliji mu mbepo ni nganingola nguo.
28 Besides those things that are without, the crowd [of cares] pressing on me daily, the burden of all the assemblies.
Kupunda yeleyo yose, lyuŵa ni lyuŵa ngujiganisya mipingo jose ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is stumbled, and I burn not?
Iŵaga mundu jwalijose ali jwa kulepetala ni une nguŵa jwakulepetala iyoyo, iŵaga mundu akwatendekasya ŵandu atende sambi une ikumbeteka muntima.
30 If it is needful to boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity.
Nalilapaga, chinalilape kwa indu yaikulosya kulepetala kwangu.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows — he who is blessed for ever — that I do not lie. (aiōn g165)
Akunnungu, Atati ŵa Ambuje Che Yesu akuswe moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Ŵelewo akuimanyilila kuti ngangulambusya. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes shut up, wishing to take me;
Katema kanaliji ku Damesiki, nkamusi jwa mwenye che Aleta ŵaŵisile ŵakulindilila mminango ja musi wa ku Damesiki kuti angamule.
33 and through a window in a basket I was let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
Nambo ŵamisile mu chitundu ni kundulusya kwakupitila palidilisha lyalili pa lipupa lya musi. Noneji nakombwele kwapeleta mmakono mwao.
