2 Corinthians 12
1 IT is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Kuzvikudza zvirokwazvo hakubatsiri kwandiri; nokuti ndichauya pazviratidzo nezvakazarurwa zvaIshe.
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; ) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
Ndinoziva munhu ari muna Kristu makore gumi nemana apfuura (kana zvakaitwa mumuviri, handizivi, kana kunze kwemuviri, handizivi, Mwari anoziva), wakadai wakabvutirwa kudenga rechitatu.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; )
Uye ndinoziva munhu wakadai (kana mumuviri, kana kunze kwemuviri, handizivi; Mwari anoziva),
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
kuti wakabvutwa akaiswa muparadhiso, akanzwa mashoko asingatauriki, asingabviri munhu kutaura.
5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
Ndichazvikudza newakadai; asi pamusoro pangu ndomene handizvikudzi, asi pautera hwangu.
6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
Nokuti kana ndichida kuzvikudza, handaizova benzi; nokuti ndichareva chokwadi; asi ndinorega, zvimwe umwe angandifungira kuva mukuru kune zvaakaona ndiri, kana zvaakanzwa kwandiri,
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
uye kuti ndirege kukudzwa kubudikidza nekuwanda kwezvakazarurwa, ndakapiwa munzwa munyama, nhume yaSatani kuti indirove, kuti ndirege kukudzwa.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
Maererano nechinhu ichi ndakakumbirisa Ishe katatu kuti chibve kwandiri.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Zvino akati kwandiri: Nyasha dzangu dzakakukwanira; nokuti simba rangu rinozadziswa muutera. Naizvozvo ndichazvirumbidza nemufaro mukuru muutera hwangu, kuti simba raKristu rigare pamusoro pangu.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Naizvozvo ndinofara muutera, mukutukwa, mukushaiwa, murushusho, mukushungurudzwa, nekuda kwaKristu; nokuti kana ndine utera, ipapo ndine simba.
11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
Ndava benzi ndichizvikudza; ndimwi makandimanikidza; nokuti ini ndaifanira kuziviswa nemwi; nokuti handisariri nepadiki kuvaapositori vakurusa, kunyange ndisiri chinhu.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
Zvirokwazvo zviratidzo zvemuapositori zvakaitwa pakati penyu pamoyo murefu wese, muzviratidzo nezvishamiso nemabasa esimba.
13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
Nokuti chii chamuri pasi nacho kune amwe makereke, kunze kwekuti ini ndomene handina kuva mutoro kwamuri? Ndikanganwirei kusarurama uku.
14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Tarirai, ndazvigadzirira kuuya kwamuri rwechitatu, uye handizovi mutoro kwamuri; nokuti handitsvaki zvenyu, asi imwi; nokuti vana havafaniri kuchengetera vabereki, asi vabereki vana.
15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
Uye ndinoda nemufaro mukuru kuparadza uye kuparadzirwa mweya yenyu, kunyange ndichikudai zvakapamhidzirwa zvikuru, ndinodikanwa zvishoma.
16 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
Asi zvakadaro, ini handina kukuremedzai; asi zvandakange ndine mano, ndakakubatai nekunyengera.
17 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
Ndakakutsvatai here chero neumwe waivo vandakatuma kwamuri?
18 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
Ndakakumbira Tito, ndikatuma hama naye; Tito wakakutsvatai here? Hatina kufamba nemumweya umwe here? Hatinakufamba nemumakwara mamwe here?
19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
Zvekare munofunga kuti tinozvidzivirira kwamuri here? Tinotaura pamberi paMwari muna Kristu; asi tinotaura zvese, vadikanwi, zvekuvakwa kwenyu.
20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
Nokuti ndinotya, zvimwe pakusvika ndikuwanei musina kuita sezvandinoda, neni ndiwanikwe nemwi ndisina kuita sezvamunoda; zvimwe kuvepo makakava, godo, hasha, kupesana, kucherana, makuhwa, manyawi, mabongozozo;
21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
zvimwe pakusvika kwanguzve Mwari wangu andininipise pakati penyu, uye ndichemere vazhinji vevakambotadza, vakasatendeuka pakusachena neupombwe neunzenza hwavakaita.
