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.
Mulina lya Yesu Klistu wa moyonteka kayi wabomba moyo, ame ndekali Paulo ngobakute kwamba bantu nabambi eti ndemuyowa ndabanga ne njamwe, nomba ndabula buyowa ndabanga kutali, lino kamunyumfwani.
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.
Kamutankakatisha kuba wayuma moyo ndakesa, pakwinga ndashometi ngandibayumina moyo abo bakute kwambeti tukute kwinseti bantu bamucishici.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.
Ee, nicakubinga nambi tukute kwikala mucishici, nsombi nkatukute kulwana nkondo yakusebensesha byensho byacishi sobwe.
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty to God unto the pulling down of fortifications, destroying counsels,
Byensho byetu byakulwanisha ntebyo bya mucishi, nsombi ni byensho bya Lesa, byangofu mbyetukute kusebensesha kukulumuna malinga ashimpa, tukute kupwaya ntota shabwepeshi.
5 And every height that exhalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every understanding unto the obedience of Christ;
Tukute kuwisha panshi bintu bilibyonse bikute kushinkilisha lwinshibo lwa Lesa, tukute kusunga busha miyeyo ya ntota kwambeti inyumfwile Klistu.
6 And having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be fulfilled.
Kayi panyuma pakuboneti lushomo lwenu lulayumu nta, nitukalibambile kupa cisubulo uliyense labulunga kunyumfwila.
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.
Amwe mukute kubona bintu mbuli ncobilabonekenga kunsa. Sena mulayeyengeti njamwe mwenka mulakonkelenga Klistu? Ishibani kwambeti twense tulakonkelenga Klistu mbuli bonse ncebalenshinga.
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.
Nambi ntwange mwakupitilila malile abwendeleshi mbwalatupa Mwami Klistu Yesu, nikwambeti twibake lushomo lwenu nteko kulupasula sobwe.
9 But that I may not be thought as it were to terrify you by epistles,
Nkandamuyoshonga ne makalata akame.
10 (For his epistles indeed, say they, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible, )
Mobambi mulambangeti, “Makalata akame alema kayi nangofu, nomba ndabanga pakati penu ndemutolo kayi maswi ngonkute kwamba aliya ncito.”
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.
Abo bantu bela kwinshibeti paliya bupusano bulipo pakati pa makalata akame ne ncenkute kwamba ndabanga pakati penu.
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.
Afwe nkatwasakamana, nambi kulyelenkanya kulyabo balalisumpulunga. Nomba batabila! Pakwinga bakute kulipimina palwabo bene, kayi ne kulyelenkanya palwabo bene.
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.
Nomba afwe kutwanga kwetu nkakwapitilila malile, nsombi kuli mukati mwa malile a ncito njalatupa Lesa iyo yasankanyapo amwe.
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.
Nkatulatwanganga mwakupitilila sobwe, pasa ntenjafwe twalamuletela mulumbe ulambanga sha Klistu.
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;
Nkatulatwangilinga ncito yalasebensa bantu nabambi kubeti njafwe twalaisebensa. Nsombi na mube ne lushomo lwayuma ndashoma kwambeti nitucikonshe kubashikila bantu bangi uko nkomwekala. Pakwinga ecintu cinene ncetulayandanga.
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.
Neco nitukacikonshe kukambauka Mulumbe Waina kubishi nabimbi bili kunsa kuli njamwe, uko nkotwela kubula kutwangila ncito njalasebensa muntu umbi.
17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Mabala alambangeti, “Layandanga kutwanga atwangile muli Lesa”
18 For not he who commendeth himself, is approved, but he, whom God commendeth.
Ngamutwanga mobene, nsombi kulumbwa kulayandikinga ni kulumbwa ne Mwami.
