2 Corinthians 12
1 If I must glory (it is not expedient indeed), but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Njelede kuli dundizya, nikuba kuti tachigwasyi. Pesi ndilaya kuzilengaano aziyubunuzyo zizwa kuMwaami.
2 I know a man in Christ above fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not, or out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up to the third heaven.
Kuli mwaalumi umwi ngundizi muliKkilisito oyo minyaka iili kumi ayine yakayiinda - wakali mumubili tandizi pe, Leza nguuzi - wakatolwa kujulu lyatatu.
3 And I know such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not: God knoweth),
Alimwi ndilizi kuti oyu mwaalumi - naa muumubili, kanakuti kunze aamubili tandizi pe, Leza nguuzi -
4 That he was caught up into paradise, and heard secret words, which it is not granted to man to utter.
wakatolwa kubusena bwakulyookezya nkwakaakumvwa majwi aatambiki alimwi tachili mumulawu kuti bantu baawambe.
5 For such an one I will glory; but for myself I will glory nothing, but in my infirmities.
Mukuyiminina muntu uuli oobo ndali dundiizya. Pesi ime ime nkelyiimvwilidi lwangu nsikolidundilizya pe, ado biyo aatalaakubula nguzu kwangu.
6 For though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I will say the truth. But I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth in me, or any thing he heareth from me.
Na kuti ndasla kulidundiizya, nsikoba chifubafuba, nkaambo ndinoli nkengamba kasimpe. Pesi ndilatantamuka kukuli dundiizya, kuchitila kuti kutabi uumwi undiyeeyela atala loko kwinda ezyoo nzyabona mulindime na kuti nzyamvwa kuzwa kuli ndime.
7 And lest the greatness of the revelations should exalt me, there was given me a sting of my flesh, an angel of Satan, to buffet me.
Mukundigwaysa kuti nditalisumpuli nkaambo kakukwiindilila kwabupati bwaziyubunuzyo, ndakapegwa buumvwa munyama, kuti mutumwa wasatani andipenzye kuchitila kuti nditali sumpuli.
8 For which thing thrice I besought the Lord, that it might depart from me.
Ndakakkombelezya Mwami tutatu aatala acheechi, kuti achigwisye kuzwa kulindime.
9 And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee; for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
Pesi wakati kulindime, “Luzyalo lwangu aalinduwe lulizulide, nkaambo nguzu zilazulizigwa mukubula nguzu.” Aboobo inga chilabota loko kulidundiizya aatala akubula nguzu kwangu, kuchitila kuti nguzu zyaKkilisito zikale aali ndime.
10 For which cause I please myself in my infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ. For when I am weak, then am I powerful.
Aboobo, ndilakutisika nkaambo kaKkilisito mukubula nguzu, muzisapi, mukupenzegwa, amuzyiimo zityompya. Awo nesikwe nguzu mpimpawo mpelaanguzu.
11 I am become foolish: you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you: for I have no way come short of them that are above measure apostles, although I be nothing.
Ndaba chifubafuba! Ndinywe mwakandisyanikizya kuchita oobu, nkaambo ndakeelede kulumbayizigwaa andinywe. Nkaambo teenzi ndakali muniini pe kulaabo bateegwa mbatumwa bapati, nikuba kuti nsili chintu.
12 Yet the signs of my apostleship have been wrought on you, in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
Zitondeezyo zyakasimpe zyamutumwa zyakachitwa aakati kanu akukakatila koonse, zitondeezyo, azigambyo amaleele.
13 For what is there that you have had less than the other churches, but that I myself was not burthensome to you? Pardon me this injury.
Ino mwakacheya biyeni kubupati kwiinda mbungano zyoonse, kunze kwakuti teensi ndakali mukkulikuli ndinywe? Mundilekelele mukubisya ooku!
14 Behold now the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burthensome unto you. For I seek not the things that are yours, but you. For neither ought the children to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Mulange! ndilibambilide kuza kuli ndinywe ilwatatu. Nsikozooba mukkuli kulindinywe, nkaambo nsiyanduuli zyenu. Ndiyanda ndinywe. Nkaambo bana tabeelede kuyobwenda bana.
15 But I most gladly will spend and be spent myself for your souls; although loving you more, I be loved less.
Chakubotelwa inga ndila maninsya lubono lwangu akumana ime lwangu nkemaninina myuya yanu. Nankemuyanda loko, ino ime ndiyandwe buniini na?
16 But be it so: I did not burthen you: but being crafty, I caught you by guile.
Mbuuli mbukubede takwe nindaka mulemezya pe. Pesi nkaambo ndilimuchenjezu loko, ndime ndakamujata chalweeno.
17 Did I overreach you by any of them whom I sent to you?
Ani ndakalya maanu na kwindila kuli baabo mbindakatuma kuli ndinywe?
18 I desired Titus, and I sent with him a brother. Did Titus overreach you? Did we not walk with the same spirit? did we not in the same steps?
Ndakasungwazya Tayitasi kuti ayinke kuli ndinywe, alimwi ndakatuma uumwi mukwesu kuti amusindikile. Ani Tayitasi wakamulya maanu na? Teetwakenda mumuuya omwe na? Teetwakakeenda mumuuyaomwe na? Teetwakeenda muntambo zyomwe na?
19 Of old, think you that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ; but all things, my dearly beloved, for your edification.
Ani muyeeya kuti echi chiindi choonse twakali kulikwabilila kuli ndinywe? Mumenso aaLeza, nomuyandw, muliKkilisito twali kwamba zyoonse katuzyambula kusimisigwa kwanu.
20 For I fear lest perhaps when I come I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found by you such as you would not. Lest perhaps contentions, envyings, animosities, dissensions, detractions, whisperings, swellings, seditions, be among you.
Ndiyoowa kuti ndaza amwi nsiko zoomujana mbuui mbepeekezya. Ndiyowa kuti amwi tamukozoondijana mbuli mbumupeekezya. Ndiyowa kuti amwi kunoli kukkazyania, bbivwe kunyemezya, kusaluulana kuninaania, kuvwiya, bulutiluti akutabambika kabotu.
21 Lest again, when I come, God humble me among you: and I mourn many of them that sinned before, and have not done penance for the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, that they have committed.
Ndiyoowa kuti ndaboola Leza wangu uyoondibombya kunembo lyenu. Ndiyoowa kuti amwi ndizoowusa nkaambo kabwiingi bwabaabo bakabisya kale kabateempedwe pe kubusofwaazi abusangu alimwi akwemuzya kusofweede nkubakachita.
