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).
une ne Paulo, ne juno nivoneka nili mhuugu pano nili palikimo numue, neke nivoneka nili n'kali pano nili kutali numue, nikuvasuuma mu lujisio na mu vuhugu vwa Kilisite,
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.
niliiva nisile kulyumue. nikuvasuuma umue kuuti, un'siki ghuno niliiv nisile kulyumue nanilonda kuuva n'kali. neke ninoghiile kuuva n'kali ku vaanhu vooni vano visaagha kuuti usue tuvingilila isa mu iisi.
3 Well, we do walk about in flesh, but we do not wage war that way,
ulwakuva nambe ndave tukukala mu iisi, natulua ilibaatu ndavule ava mu iisi.
4 because the weapons of our warfare are not physical, but are powerful in God for demolishing strongholds:
ulwakuva ifilwilo fino tulwila ililugu ilio nafya mu iisi, ulwene fili ni ngufu kuhuma kwa Nguluve isa kunangania amalinga gha valugu. tunangania amasio ghooni agha vudesi.
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;
kange tunangania amasio ghooni agha kughinia ghano ghisigha avaanhu kuuti, valeke kukun'kagula uNguluve. kange tughoma amasaaghe ghooni kuuti ghan'kundaghe uKilisite.
6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.
neke muliiva mukundile lwoni, usue tuling'hanisie kuhigha inongua sooni sino nasa vukundi.
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.
mu lolaghe fino fivoneka pamaaso ghiinu, umuunhu ghweni juno ikuvona kuuti umwene ghwa Kilisite, leka ikumbusie jujuo mwene kuuti ndavule alivuo kuuva ghwa Kilisite, najusue tuli va Kilisite ndavule umwene.
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,
nakyanivona soni ningighinie vwimila uvutavulilua vuno uMutwa atupeliile, ulwakuva uvutavulua uvuo navukuvanangania, looli vukuvatanga mu lwitiko.
9 so as not to appear to agree that it is only with letters that I ‘terrify’ you.
mu kalata sango sino nikuvalembela, nanilonda kukuvoghofia.
10 Because some say, “His letters are ‘heavy’ and forceful, but his physical presence is weak, and his speech can be disdained.”
ulwakuva avaanhu vamonga viiti “ikalata sa Paulo sili na masio amakali kange sili ni ngufu, looli kim'bili umwene nsila ngufu. amasio gha mwene namaghana kupulikisia”
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.
avaanhu ndavule avuo vakagulaghe kuuti, sino tukavalembile mu kalata pano tulikutali, se sino kya tuvomba pano tuli numue.
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.
natukuviika nambe padebe mu kipugha kimo nambe kukughwanania na vaanhu vano vikughinia vavuo. neke avaanhu vano vikuling'hania na kukughwanania vavuo, navakitang'inie kimonga.
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.
poope, nakyatukughinia kukila ikighelelo ikya mbombo jino atupeliile uNguluve. ulwene tuvomba ulue n'kate mu kighelelo kino uNgluve atupeliile usue, ijio je jino luvomba lwoni kulyumue nambe kutali.
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;
ulwakuva natukakiling'hinie jusue ikighelelo ye lukwisa kulyumue. tulyale vakwanda kukuvaletela imhola inofu ija Kilisite.
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,
nakya tukughinia vwimila imbombo ja vaangu avange. ulwene, tuhuviila vule ulwitiko lwinu lukwongelela, na ji mbombo jiitu pakate pa lyumue ji kwongelela.
16 so as to evangelize the regions beyond you (not to boast in work already done in someone else's field).
tuhuvila ku ulu kuuti kyande tupulisia iMhola iNofu na ku iisi isingi, nakyande tukughinia vwimila imbombo jino jivombua imbale isingi.
17 “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
looli, umuunhu ghweni juno ikughinia, ighiniaghe vwimila uMutwa.
18 Because it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
ulwakuva umuunhu ghweni, juno ikughinia jujuo nakwitikisivua, looli juno ighinisivua nu Mutwa.
