2 Corinthians 12
1 I suppose I have to boast, even though it doesn't really help. Let me go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.
Mbe kunyiile okwikuya, nawe chitalio echoenongesha kwelyo. Ntali enigendelela ku bhilolo no kuswelulilwa okusoka ku Lata bhugenyi.
2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was taken up to the third heaven (whether physically in the body, or out of it, I don't know, but God knows).
Nimumenyele omunu umwi ku Kristo unu emyaka ekumi nene ejojatulileo unu aliga mu mubhili amwi anja yo mubhili anye nitakumenya, Nyamuanga kamenya agagelwe nasilwa ingulu ku lwa kasatu.
3 I know that this man (whether taken up physically in the body, or apart from it, I don't know, but God knows),
Nimenyele ati umunu unu aligali mumubhili, amwi anja ya mubhili, anye nitakumenya, nyamuwanga kamenya.
4 how he was taken up into Paradise, and heard things too wonderful to be spoken, in words so sacred that no human being is allowed to say.
Agegelwe nasilwa ingulu mu paradiso notes emisango jekisi muno mumubhili wonawona bhitakutala kwaikwa.
5 Something like that I'll boast about, but I won't boast about myself, except for my weaknesses.
Kwo munu undi oyo enikuya, nawe kwanye omwenela nitakwikuya. Ntali mu bwo kubhulwa amanaga kwani.
6 I wouldn't be foolish if I wanted to boast, because I'd be telling the truth. But I won't boast, so that nobody will think more of me than what they see me doing or hear me saying.
Kwo kubha nikinda okwikuya, nitakabhee mutamutamu, okubha nakabhee ninaika echimali. Nawe enisiga okwikuya, koleleki ati asige wonawona okunyiganilisha kukila ejo ejibhonekana kwanye amwi okungwa kusoka kwanye.
7 Also, because these revelations were so amazingly great, and so that I wouldn't become proud, I was given a “thorn in my flesh”—a messenger from Satan to hurt me so that I wouldn't become proud.
Nitakwikuya kwa injuno ya bhinu nasweluliywe byaliga bhilibya kulugusha. Kulwejo nitakubla nechigundu, Liwa lyatewe mumubhili gwani, intumwu ya shetani okunyasha anye, koleleki nisige kubha wo kusagilila.
8 I pleaded with the Lord three times to get rid of this problem.
kwiya kasatu nalembelejishe latabhugenyi kulinu, koleleki omwene achisosheko kwanye.
9 But he told me, “My grace is all you will need, for my power is effective in weakness.” That's why I happily boast about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may reside in me.
Nawe nambwila ati,”Echigongo chani chiile kwawe, kwo kubha amanaga agakola kukumisha kubhinu bhitana managa. Kutyo, enenda okwikuya kukila kubulwa amanaga gani, koleleki ati obhutulo bwa kristo bhutule kwikala kwanye.
10 So I appreciate weaknesses, insults, troubles, persecutions, and difficulties that I suffer for Christ's sake. For when I'm weak, then I'm strong!
Lwa kutyo nili kukristo, mukubhulwa mu managa, na kujimibwa, na mubhukene na kunyansibwa, na mu byakoleke kwo kubha omwanya nikabha nitana managa, niwo nibha na managa.
11 I'm talking like a fool, but you made me do it! You should really have been speaking well of me, for in no way am I inferior to the super-apostles, even though I don't count for anything.
Anye nabhee mutamutamu! emwe mwasinyilisishe kulinu. Okubha nakabhee nikusibwa nemwe. Kwo kubha nitakililwe kwabwo abhabhilikilwa jintuma je chibhalo, nolwo labha anye nitali chinu.
12 Yet the marks of an apostle were patiently demonstrated among you—signs, wonders, and powerful miracles.
Ebhibhalikisho bye chimali bya jitumwa byakoleke mu bhumwi bwemwe mu kwiganilisha, ebhibhalikisho na mu bhililugulo na mu bhikolwa bhikulu.
13 In what way were you inferior to the other churches except I wasn't any burden to you? Please forgive me for doing you wrong!
Mbe nikubhaki naliga wachimali wa asi kukila amakanisa ago gasigae, ati nitabhee mujigo kwemwe? munyiswalile kwe chikayo chinu!
14 Now I'm preparing to visit you for the third time, and I won't be a burden to you. I don't want what you have, I want you yourselves! After all, children shouldn't save up for their parents, but parents should for their children.
Rola! anye nimaliliye okuja kwemwe kulwakasatu nitakenele kubha mujigo kwemwe, okubha nitakukena chinu chili chemwe. Enibhenda emwe. Okubha abhana kuteile okubhilikila abhebhusi. Nawe abhebhusi bheile okubhikilaga abhana.
15 I will happily spend myself, and be spent, for you. If I love you so much more, will you love me even less?
Enikondelwa kukila kukola no kukolelwa kulwe emwoyo jemwe. Labha nikasagilila okubhenda, anye munyende kutoto?
16 Well, even if that's so, I wasn't a burden to you. Maybe I was being devious, and tricked you with my cunning ways!
Nawe labha jili kutyo, nitabhatamile emwe, Nawe okubha anye naliga nilimwenge muno, anye ni woyo nabhagwatile emwe nabhee oyo abhetegele mubhuligelige.
17 But did I take advantage of you by anyone I've sent to you?
Mbe, nagegele mu kwikolela omuyelo ku wonawona unu namutumile kwemwe?
18 I urged Titus to go and see you, and I sent another brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? No, we both have the same spirit and use the same methods.
Namukomelesishe Tito okuja kwemwe, nimutuma owasu amwi nage, mbe, Tito abhakolee omuyelo emwe? mbe, chitalibhatile mu njila iliya iliya? mbe, chitalibhatile mubhigele bhilya?
19 Maybe you're thinking that all along we've been just trying to defend ourselves. No, we speak for Christ before God. Everything we do, friends, is for your benefit.
Omwiganilisha ati kumwaya gunu gwone chaliga nichibhambala eswe abhene kwemwe? Imbele ya Nyamuanga, na mu kristo, chaikile bhuli bhinu kwo kubhombaka emwe.
20 I do worry when I visit that somehow I won't find you as I would want to, and that you won't find me as you would want to! I'm afraid that there will be arguments, jealousy, anger, rivalry, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.
Kwo kubha enubhaya ati, aligns naja enitula kubhasaga mtali lwa kutyo enenda. Nina bhubha ati omtula kusiga kumwaya anye lwa kutyo omwenda. Enubhaya ati, okutula okubhao amwi no lwango, amwi lifuwa, amwi lisungu, amwi bhuwenyele, olubheyi echigundu, amwi injongele.
21 I'm afraid that when I visit, my God will humble me in your presence, and that I will be weeping over many of those who have sinned previously, and who still have not repented of impurity, sexual immorality, and indecent acts that they committed.
Nilinobhubha ati, nilisubha kujalindi, Nyamuanga wani katula okukusya imbele yemwe. Nilinobhubha ati enitula kubha sulumbhasha na abhafu abho bhakolele echibhibhi kala, nabho bhalemele okuta obhujabhi, na ubhusiani na magambo ganu bhakolele.
