2 Corinthians 11
1 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in [my] folly: and indeed bear with me.
Mbasaba mungumiikirizeeko mu busirusiru bwange obutono, weewaawo mungumiikirize.
2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ.
Mbakwatirwa obuggya, obuggya bwa Katonda, kubanga naboogereza omusajja omu, nga muli mbeerera zennyini, ne mbawaayo eri Kristo;
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
kyokka neeraliikirira nnyo nga ntya nti si kulwa nga mulimbibwa nga Kaawa bwe yalimbibwa omusota ne muwaba mu birowoozo byammwe okuva mu bwetoowaze n’obutukuvu obuli mu Kristo.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].
Bwe wabaawo omuntu ajja n’ababuulira Yesu omulala gwe tutabuulira, oba ne mufuna omwoyo omulala, gwe mutafunanga, oba ne mubuulirwa Enjiri endala gye mutabuulirwanga, mubigumiikiriza.
5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
Kubanga ndowooza ng’abatume abakulu ennyo tebalina kye bansinza.
6 But though [I be] rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
Kubanga newaakubadde nga siri mumanyirivu mu kwogera, naye si mu kutegeera, wabula mu ngeri yonna twaboolesa ebintu byonna.
7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
Oba nasobya bwe netoowaza mulyoke mugulumizibwe, bwe nabuulira Enjiri ya Katonda ey’obwereere?
8 I robbed other churches, taking wages [of them], to do you service.
Nanyaga ekkanisa endala, kubanga zampeerezanga ensimbi ne nzikozesa nga ndi nammwe ndyoke mbaweereze,
9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all [things] I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and [so] will I keep [myself].
era bwe nnali nammwe ne mbaako bye neetaaga, ssaazitoowerera muntu yenna kubanga abooluganda abaava e Makedoniya bampanga byonna bye nnali neetaaga, ne neekuuma nnyo obutabazitoowerera mu buli kintu, era nzija kwongera okwekuuma bwe ntyo.
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
Ng’amazirna ga Kristo bwe gali mu nze, okwenyumiriza kuno tekujja kuziyizibwa mu nze mu bitundu bya Akaya.
11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
Lwaki? Olw’okubanga sibaagala? Katonda amanyi nga mbaagala.
12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
Naye nzija kweyongera okukola nga bwe nkola ndyoke nziggyewo omukisa eri abo abaagala okukozesa omukisa ogwo abaagala okulabika nga ffe mu kwenyumiriza kwabwe.
13 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
Abantu ng’abo batume baabulimba, era bakozi baabukuusa, nga beefuula abatume ba Kristo.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Naye ekyo tekyewuunyisa, kubanga Setaani yeefuula nga malayika ow’omusana.
15 Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Noolwekyo abamuweereza bwe beefuula ng’abaweereza b’obutuukirivu tekitwewuunyisa. Ku nkomerero bagenda kubonerezebwa ng’ebikolwa byabwe biri.
16 I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
Nziramu okubagamba nti omuntu yenna aleme kundowooza kuba musirusiru; kyokka ne bwe mundowooza okuba omusirusiru, munsembeze, nange neenyumirizeeko katono.
17 That which I speak, I speak [it] not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
Kaakano bye njogera Mukama si yandagidde okubyogera, wabula neeyisa ng’omusirusiru mu buvumu buno obw’okwenyumiriza.
18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
Naye obanga bano beenyumiriza mu by’omubiri nange ka nneenyumirize.
19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye [yourselves] are wise.
Mmwe muli bagezi, kyemuva mugumiikiriza abasirusiru.
20 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour [you], if a man take [of you], if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
Omuntu yenna bw’abafuula abaddu, oba n’abanyaga, oba n’abalyazaamanya, oba ne yeegulumiza, oba n’abakuba empi, mukigumiikiriza.
21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly, ) I am bold also.
Ekyo kinswaza okukyogera kubanga tubadde banafu mu ekyo. Naye omuntu yenna kye yeewaayo okukola, nga njogera mu busirusiru, nange neewaayo okukikola.
22 Are they Hebrews? so [am] I. Are they Israelites? so [am] I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so [am] I.
Bo Baebbulaniya? Nange bwe ndi. Bagamba nti Bayisirayiri? Nange bwe ntyo. Bazzukulu ba Ibulayimu? Nange bwe ndi.
23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I [am] more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
Bagamba nti baweereza ba Kristo? Nga njogera ng’agudde eddalu, nze mbasinga; Mbasinga okukola ennyo, era nsibiddwa mu kkomera emirundi mingi okubasinga, n’emirundi gye nkubiddwa mingi okusingawo, era emirundi mingi ne mba kumpi n’okufa.
24 Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one.
Abayudaaya bankuba embooko amakumi asatu mu mwenda ku mirundi egy’enjawulo etaano.
25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
Nakubwa emiggo emirundi esatu. Omulundi gumu nakubwa amayinja. Emirundi esatu ekyombo kye nalingamu kyamenyeka. Olulala ne nsula era ne nsiiba mu buziba.
26 [In] journeyings often, [in] perils of waters, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils by [mine own] countrymen, [in] perils by the heathen, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren;
Ntambudde nnyo, era emirundi mingi ne mpona akabi k’omujjuzo gw’emigga, ne mpona n’akabi ak’abanyazi, n’empona ab’eggwanga lyange, era n’Abamawanga abalala. Nayolekera obubenje obw’omu kibuga, ne mpona n’okufiira mu ddungu ne mu muyaga ogw’oku nnyanja, ne mpona n’akabi ak’abantu abeeyita abooluganda;
27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
mu kukola ennyo ne mu kufuba nga seebaka, mu kulumwa enjala ne mu kufuuyibwa empewo ne mu kubeera obwereere.
28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
Ebirala bye simenye nga nabyo bikyali awo, neeraliikirira buli lunaku nga ndowooza ku Kkanisa zonna nga bwe ziri.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
Bwe wabaawo anafuye, nange nzigwamu amaanyi, omulala bw’agwa mu kibi, nange njaka munda yange.
30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
Naye obanga kiŋŋwanidde okwenyumiriza, ka neenyumirize olw’ebyo ebiraga obunafu bwange!
31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not. (aiōn g165)
Katonda, era Kitaawe wa Mukama waffe Yesu, atenderezebwa emirembe n’emirembe, amanyi nga ssirimba. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
Bwe nnali mu Damasiko, Kabaka Aleta yalagira gavana alagire abakuumi b’ekibuga, nkwatibwe,
33 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
naye ne mpisibwa mu ddirisa, eryali mu kisenge kya bbugwe w’ekibuga, nga ndi mu kisero kye baaleebeesa ku miguwa okuntuusa ebweru wansi, bwe ntyo abo ne mbawona.
