2 Corinthians 10
1 NOW I Paul myself exhort you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who, when present, am indeed lowly among you, but being absent, am bold towards you.
Kaakano nze kennyini, Pawulo, mbeegayirira mu buwombeefu n’obukkakkamu bwa Kristo bwe mba nabwo nga neetoowazizza nga ndi nammwe, naye bwe mba nga siri nammwe ne mba muvumu gye muli;
2 But I pray, that when I am present I may not be bold with the confidence with which I purpose to act resolutely against some who think of us, as if we walked after the flesh.
mbegayirira wadde ssiriiwo, bwe ndijja nneme kwogeza maanyi nga bwe nkola eri abantu abamu abatulowooleza okuba nga tugoberera bya mubiri.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we war not after the flesh:
Newaakubadde nga tutambulira mu mubiri, tetulwana ng’ab’omubiri,
4 for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for the casting down the strong holds of corruption;
kubanga ebyokulwanyisa byaffe eby’olutalo, si bya mubiri wabula bya maanyi mu Katonda olw’okuwangula ebigo, n’olw’okuwangula endowooza,
5 laying low proud reasonings, and every high thing which exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and making every thought captive to the obedience of Christ:
na buli kintu ekigulumivu ekyekuluntaza okusinga amagezi ga Katonda, era nga tujeemulula buli kirowoozo, kigondere Kristo,
6 and holding ourselves ready to avenge every act of disobedience, when your obedience is fully proved.
era nga tweteeseteese okuwalana eggwanga ku bujeemu bwonna, bwe munaagonderanga ddala.
7 Regard ye the things that are personal? If any man is confident in himself that he is Christ’s, let him reflect again in himself, that as he is Christ’s, so are we Christ’s.
Mutunuulira ebintu nga bwe birabika kungulu. Omuntu yenna bw’alowooza munda mu ye okuba owa Kristo, ekyo akirowooza ku ye yekka, nti nga naffe tuli ba Kristo nga ye.
8 Yea, and if I should boast somewhat more highly of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for your edification, and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed;
Kubanga ne bwe ndisukkirira okwenyumiriza olw’obuyinza bwe tulina, Mukama bwe yatuwa olw’okubazimba so si lwa kubassa wansi, sirikwatibwa nsonyi,
9 that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
nneme kufaanana ng’abatiisa mu bbaluwa zange.
10 For his letters indeed, say they, are weighty and forcible, but his bodily presence is feeble, and his speech contemptible.
Kubanga agamba nti, “Ebbaluwa ze ddala nzito era z’amaanyi, naye okubaawo kwe mu mubiri kunafu, n’okwogera kwe kunyoomebwa.”
11 Let such a man be assured of this, that such as we are by word in our letters when absent, such also will we be in deed when we are present.
Alowooza bw’atyo ategeere nga bye twogerako mu bbaluwa nga tetuli nammwe, era bye tukola nga tuli nammwe.
12 For we will not presume to put ourselves on the level, or compare ourselves with some who vaunt themselves; but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, have no understanding.
Ffe tetwaŋŋanga kwebalira wadde okwegeraageranya n’abamu ku abo abeetendereza, naye bo bwe beepimamu bokka na bokka, ne beegeraageranya bokka na bokka tebaba na kutegeera.
13 But we will not glory in things beyond our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath marked out for us―a measure that hath reached even unto you.
Naye ffe tetujja kwenyumiriza kusukka ku kigera kyaffe, naye tujja kwenyumiriza ng’ekigera ekyo ekyatuweebwa Katonda bwe kiri, ne tusobola n’okubatuukako mmwe.
14 For we stretch not our pretensions beyond bounds, as though we reached not unto you; for we have advanced even unto you in the gospel of Christ:
Kubanga tetukununkiriza kusinga kigera kye tulina, kubanga nammwe twabatuusaako Enjiri ya Kristo,
15 not boasting ourselves unmeasurably in other men’s labours; but having hope that when your faith is increased, we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule for more abundant usefulness,
nga tetwenyumiriza kusinga omulimu abalala gwe baakola, naye nga tulina essuubi nti ng’okukkiriza kwammwe bwe kugenda kweyongera, n’omulimu gwaffe gugenda gweyongera,
16 to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to arrogate glory in another man’s line for things already prepared.
era nga tubuulira Enjiri ne mu bitundu ebibali ewala, naye so si mu kitundu eky’omulala omwakolebwa edda omulimu waleme okubaawo eyeenyumiriza.
17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Naye eyeenyumiriza yeenyumirizenga mu Mukama waffe;
18 For not he who commendeth himself is approved, but he whom the Lord commendeth.
kubanga eyeetenda yekka, oyo si ye asiimibwa, wabula oyo Mukama gw’atenda.
