2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I, Paul, am myself appealing to you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ (I who am ‘humble when present’ among you, but ‘bold when absent’ toward you).
Nene Pavuli, nene nikuvadova kuvudekhedekhe nie khisa kya Kliste. Une nilienndekhevunieli pavulongo palyumwe, Niengave pavutali numwe pwu niva na makha.
2 Yes, I beg you, that when I am present I may not have to be bold with the confidence that I will ‘dare’ to visit upon some who think that we are walking in a fleshly manner.
Nikhuvadova umwe ukuta, unsienki ugyakhiva niva numwe, saneikave na makha agaakwidwaja yune. Pwu nisagaa ukhuta nilonda ukuva na makha vunikhuvabencha vala avisaga ukhuta tutama khimbilie.
3 Well, we do walk about in flesh, but we do not wage war that way,
Ndatugeendage mumbili, pwu satwilwa khimbili.
4 because the weapons of our warfare are not physical, but are powerful in God for demolishing strongholds:
Ulwakhuva ifilwiilo ifyutulwila safyambilie. Fili namaka agaanguluve agiinanga ilihema. Kywuu giinanga lweli inongwa tsoni inchavuyagi.
5 demolishing sophistries and every arrogance that sets itself up against the knowledge of God; taking captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ;
Pwu, tunananga lweli khila khinu ikhilinu vutwa ikyukhitoncha mungaati mumaka ga Nguluve. Tukwibata khila khinu mumasage agaakwidika mwa Kliste.
6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.
Pwu tupokhela amakha agievonekha nukhunanga imbombo nchoni inchusanchikwidihana nulwidiko lwinyo uludolwike.
7 Do you only look at the ‘face’ of things? If anyone has persuaded himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again with himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also we are Christ's.
Mulole khila khinu ikhilipavuvalafu pamiho geinyo. Inave uvikwidika ukhuva va Klisti, eilole ievunche mwene ukhutu umwene va Kilisite, khumbe nayufwe vutuliwo ukhuva tulivakilisti.
8 Now even if I boast a little to excess about our authority (which the Lord gave us for building up, not to tear you down), I will not act ashamed,
Khumbe ndaniegiinie padebe ukhukongana nuvuloleli weitu, uvu Untwa avuhuminche khulyufwe ukhuvukonga ukhuvuvombela umwe sawakuvunanga, saniekhavone soni.
9 so as not to appear to agree that it is only with letters that I ‘terrify’ you.
Saninogwa ukhuta nivadwanchage pa iele khu khalata nchango.
10 Because some say, “His letters are ‘heavy’ and forceful, but his physical presence is weak, and his speech can be disdained.”
Ulwakhuva avange avanu vita, “Ikhalata ncha mwene chihoma khange nchilinamaka, ulwakhuva umwene khimbili indekhedekhe. Amamenyu agaamwene gielondiwa ukhugaapulihincha.
11 Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters while absent is just what we will be in action when present.
Pii londiwa avanu awoo velewe ukhuta ikyutwinchova mukalata vutulipatale, viliehanile ndifyutuvomba unsike vutulipala.
12 Now we do not dare to class or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves; but they, measuring themselves by themselves and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
Satwiluta khuvutale enoo ndukwilundamania yufwe nduvutukhilihania yufwe ndavala uvuvikhigienia veene. Eingave vuvikhilihania vene navayavo, viva vanchila luhala.
13 We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will stay within the boundaries that God assigned to us, a field that includes you.
Ufwe, nduvulino, satukhigiiniage ukhulutilila eeno. Pwutungavombage eiwo tuvombaga eiwo wutulimugaati ndugavelo ulu Unguluve atugavile ufive, imaakha inchifikhe khuvutali ndukwienyo vuuguliwo.
14 For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we had not reached you, because we did indeed get to you with the Gospel of Christ;
Ulwakhuva satukhiyongelenche yufwe uputukadugiele palyumwe. Tukhale vavutengulilo ukhufika kuvutali nduwienyo kulivangiili ila Kiliste.
15 nor do we boast ‘off limits’ in the labors of others, but we have hope that as your faith grows our boundaries will be greatly expanded through you,
Satwigieniche ukhulutilila ikhigelelo kya mbombo inchavange. Ulwakhuva tuhuvila ndu ulwidiko lwenyo ulyikhula ukhuta apoonu upumuvombela imbombo pwupikwongelela fincho, hange pisigala iegaati mulupakha ulwalweli.
16 so as to evangelize the regions beyond you (not to boast in work already done in someone else's field).
Tuhuviela kwieli, ukhuta tukhimanyage ukhulumbilila ilivangieli na khukhilunga ikhinge pavutali. Satukhiginiage khu mbombo iyivombiwa mukhilunga ikhinge.
17 “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
“Umunu uvikhingiinia, ieginiage khunkuludeva.”
18 Because it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
Ulwakhuva uveikhinchova yuywa ukhuta inchova limenu vyalanchoviwa. Uviengave unkhuludeva ikhumwimiekha.
