2 Corinthians 10
1 NOW I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
Zvino ini Pauro ndomene ndinokukumbirisai neunyoro, uye moyochena waKristu, wakaninipiswa pakati penyu kana ndiripo, asi kana ndisipo ndine ushingi kwamuri;
2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
ndinokumbirisawo, kuti kana ndiripo, ndirege kuva neushingi nekuzvipira uku kwandinoverengerwa kuti ndine ushingi hwekumirisana nevamwe vanotifungira sevanofamba panyama.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
Nokuti kunyange tichifamba panyama, hatirwi maererano nenyama;
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; )
nokuti zvombo zvehondo yedu hazvisi zvenyama, asi zvakasimba kubudikidza naMwari pakuputsa nhare,
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
tichiwisa mirangariro nechese chakakwirira chinozvikwiridza chichipesana neruzivo rwaMwari, nekuisa muutapwa murangariro wese pakuteerera Kristu;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
takazvigadzira kutsiva kusateerera kwese, kana kuteerera kwenyu kwazadzisika.
7 Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.
Munotarira zvinhu pamaonekero azvo ekunze here? Kana munhu achizvivimba kuti iye ndewaKristu, ngaazvirangarirezve, kuti iye sezvaari waKristu, saizvozvo nesu tiri vaKristu.
8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
Nokuti kana nezvinhu zvizhinjisa ndisazvirumbidzazve maererano nesimba redu, Ishe raakatipa pakuvaka, uye kwete rekuparadza kwedu, handinganyadziswi;
9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
kuti ndirege kuonekwa sendinokutyityidzirai netsamba.
10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
Nokuti vanoti: Tsamba dzake dzinorema uye dzine simba; asi kuvapo kwemuviri kune utera nekutaura kwake kunozvidzika.
11 Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
Wakadaro ngaarangarire ichi, kuti sezvatakadaro pashoko kubudikidza netsamba kana tisipo, nesu takadaro pakuita kana tiripo.
12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
Nokuti hatina ushingi hwekuzviverengera kana kuzvifananidza nevamwe vevanozvirumbidza; asi ivo vanozvienzanisa vega, nekuzvifananidza pachavo, havanzwisisi.
13 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
Asi isu hatingazvikudzi zvinopfuura chipimo, asi zvinoenderana nechipimo chemuganhu Mwari waakatitemera, chipimo chekusvika nekwamuri.
14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
Nokuti hatizvitandavadzi kupfuurikidza setisingasvikiri kwamuri, nokuti nekwamuriwo takasvika muevhangeri yaKristu;
15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
tisingazvikudzi kupfuurikidza chipimo pamabasa evamwe; asi tine tariro, kuti kana rutendo rwenyu rwuchiwanzwa, isu tichakuriswa pakati penyu zvinoenderana nemuganhu wedu nekupfuurisa,
16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.
kuparidza evhangeri pamatunhu ari mhiri kwenyu, kwete kuzvirumbidza pamuganhu weumwe pazvinhu zvakagadzirwa.
17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Asi anozvirumbidza, ngaazvirumbidze muna Ishe.
18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
Nokuti haasi anozvirumbidza uyo anogamuchirwa, asi Ishe waanorumbidza.
