2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I Paul myself beseech you, by the mildness and modesty of Christ, who in presence indeed am lowly among you, but being absent, am bold toward you.
Anye Paulo, omwene enibhalembelesha kwo bhufula bwa Kristo. Anye ni mufula omwanya nili imbele yemwe, Nawe ninaobwiikanyibwa kwemwe omwanya nikabha kula nemwe.
2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present, with that confidence wherewith I am thought to be bold, against some, who reckon us as if we walked according to the flesh.
Enibhasabwa emwe ati, nikabhao amwi, nitakwenda okubha mubha nokwikomesha kwanye omwene. Nawe eniganilisha okubha namanaga omwanya nikabhabhuma bhaliya abhoabheganilisha ati echikala kulwo kulubha omubhili.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.
Kulwo kubha echilibhata kulwo kulubha omubhili, chitakulwana chinyamubhili.
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty to God unto the pulling down of fortifications, destroying counsels,
Kwo kubha ebhigwato ebyo echikolela okulwanila bhitali bye chinyamubhili. Nawe ni bya manage ga Nyamuanga gokunyamula obwikingo.
5 And every height that exhalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every understanding unto the obedience of Christ;
Ona, echinyamula bhuli chinu echobhutulo bwa ingulu bwo bhumenyi bwa Nyamuanga.
6 And having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be fulfilled.
Nechilikula bhuli ganilisho mu bhugaya bwo kumungwa Kristo. Ne chibhona intambala bhuli bhikolwa elyo litali na bwolobha, no bwolobha bwemwe bhulibha bwa kumila.
7 See the things that are according to outward appearance. If any man trust to himself, that he is Christ’s, let him think this again with himself, that as he is Christ’s, so are we also.
Lola chiliya chilibwelu imbele yemwe. Alabha wonawona unu keiikanyaga ati omwene ni wa Kristo, negalishe omwene ati lwa kutyo omwene ni wa Kristo, neswe one nikwo kutyo chili bha Kristo.
8 For if also I should boast somewhat more of our power, which the Lord hath given us unto edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed.
Kwo kubha nolwo ndeyungwa kutoto obhutolo bweswe, bhunu Lata bhugenyi asosishe kulweswe okubhombaka emwe natali okubhanyamula, nitakulola nswalo.
9 But that I may not be thought as it were to terrify you by epistles,
Nitakwenda linu libhonekane ati enibhobhaisha emwe na jinyalubha jani.
10 (For his epistles indeed, say they, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible, )
Kwo kubha abhanu abhaika ati, “Jinyalubha jae jikomee na jina amanaga, Nawe chinyamubhili omwene mulenga. No bwaika bwae bhuteile okubhutegelesha.”
11 Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by epistles, when absent, such also we will be indeed when present.
Abhanu bha insonga inu bhamenye ati chinu echaika kwo bhwangu omwanya gunu chili kula, nilwakutyo chilakola chilyao.
12 For we dare not match, or compare ourselves with some, that commend themselves; but we measure ourselves by ourselves, and compare ourselves with ourselves.
Chitakuja kula muno lwo kwikuya eswe abhene okwisusanisha nabhanu abhekuya abhene. Nawe bhakelenga abhene na bhuli umwi webhwe, bhatana bhwenge.
13 But we will not glory beyond our measure; but according to the measure of the rule, which God hath measured to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
Eswe, nolo kutyo, chitakwikuya okulabha mumbibhi. Nawe, echikola kutyola munda ya jimbibhi jinu Nyamuanga achilengee eswe, jimbibhi jinu ejikinga obhulela lwo bhwemwe kutyo bhuli.
14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as if we reached not unto you. For we are come as far as to you in the gospel of Christ.
Kulwokubha chiteyongesishe eswe abhene chejile obhakingako emwe. Chabhee bho kwamba okukinga obhulela bhwemwe ingulu ya Kristo.
15 Not glorying beyond measure in other men’s labours; but having hope of your increasing faith, to be magnified in you according to our rule abundantly;
Chichali kwikuya mundengo ye milimu ja bhandi. Nawe, echiikanya lwakutyo elikilisha lyemwe kutyo elikula olubhala lweswe lwe milimu lwa kutyo eliyongesha muno, naichali mumbibhi jakisi.
16 Yea, unto those places that are beyond you, to preach the gospel, not to glory in another man’s rule, in those things that are made ready to our hand.
Echiikanya kulinu, koleleki chibhone okulasha emisango jombwana mumikowa okukila emwe. Chichali kwikuya ingulu ye milimu jinu ejikolwa mumbala ejindi.
17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
“Nawe wona wona unu kekuya, ekuye mu Latabhugenyi.”
18 For not he who commendeth himself, is approved, but he, whom God commendeth.
Kulwokubha atali unu kekuya omwenela nawe unu kakuibhwa. Nawe, niunu Latabhugenyi kakuya.
