2 Corinthians 10
1 And I, Paul, myself, call on you—through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ—who in presence [am] indeed humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you,
Nene Pauli namwene mwanilolekana kuvya mpoli penivya pamonga na nyenye, nambu nilolekana na mkali panivya patali na nyenye, nikuvayupa neju kwa lipyana na ubwina waki Kilisitu.
2 and I implore [you], that, being present, I may not have courage, with the confidence with which I reckon to be bold against certain reckoning us as walking according to the flesh;
Nikuvayupa mkoto kunikita nivya na mkali lukumbi lwe nibwela, muni nina uchakaka nihotola kuvya na mkali kwa voha vala veviholalela kuvya titama chimundu.
3 for walking in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,
Chakaka titama pamulima, nambu nakukomana ngondo ngati vandu va pamulima chevitovana.
4 for the weapons of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds,
Muni, vindu vyatihengela kukomanela ngondo yitu lepi vya chimulima nambu makakala ga Chapanga gegigwisa ngomi za makoko zoha. Tihalabisa mambu goha ga udese,
5 bringing down reasonings, and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ,
na kubomola chindu chechimeka chechivikiwi ndava ya kubela umanya Chapanga, tikugakamula maholo goha na kugakita gamuyidikila Kilisitu.
6 and being in readiness to avenge every disobedience whenever your obedience may be fulfilled.
Mukasindamala mukuyidakila, tete tijitendelekili kuhukumwa kila mundu yoyoha angayidakila.
7 You see the outward appearance. If anyone has trusted in himself to be Christ’s, let him reckon this again from himself, that according as he is Christ’s, so also we [are] Christ’s;
Nyenye mlola mambu cha kuvala ndu. Wu, avi mundu yoyoha mwaiholalela kuvya mwene ndi mundu wa Kilisitu? Ena! Hinu mewawa atihololela tete kuvya vandu va Kilisitu ngati cheavili mwene.
8 for even if I will also boast anything more abundantly concerning our authority, that the LORD gave us for building up, and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,
Hati ngati nimeka neju ndava ya uhotola wetipewili na BAMBU ndava ya kuvasindamalisa nyenye muusadika lepi kubomola, ndava ya lenilo nikola lepi soni.
9 that I may not seem as if I would terrify you through the letters,
Mbwitu muholalela kuvya nigana kuvayogopesa nyenye ndava ya mayandiku gangu.
10 “because the letters indeed,” says one, “[are] weighty and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech despicable.”
Mundu ihotola kujova, “Balua za Pauli zikali na zigegii malovi gegitopa, nambu Pauli mwene peivya pamonga na tete ndi mundu mpoli na hati peilongela malovi gaki ndi ngati lepi chindu.”
11 This one—let him reckon thus: that such as we are in word, through letters, being absent, such also, being present, [we are] in deed.
Mundu mwaijova chenicho mbanga akumbukayi hoti kuvya mambu goha giwanangana gala gatiyandika mubalua lukumbi pativya kutali, na gala getikita lukumbi pativya na nyenye.
12 For we do not make bold to rank or to compare ourselves with certain of those commending themselves, but they, measuring themselves among themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise,
Hinu ngatihotwi lepi kujivika amala kujiwanangisa vandu vala vevakujilumba vene. Vandu vevakujikita kuvya vene ndi chipimu cha kupimila vangi, vandu vevakujiwanangisa vene kwa vene, ndi vayimu.
13 and we will not boast ourselves in regard to the unmeasured things, but after the measure of the line that the God of measure appointed to us—to reach even to you;
Nambu tete yati timeka lepi neju, kumeka kwenuko yati kwivya kwa chipimu chila cha lihengu leatigotolili Chapanga, lihengu letiyendelela kuhenga mewa kwinu.
14 for we do not stretch ourselves too much, as not reaching to you, for even to you we came in the good news of the Christ,
Kumeka kwitu tahumbili lepi mibaka yatavikiwi lukumbi lwatabwelili kwinu. Kuvaletela Lilovi la Bwina kumvala Kilisitu.
15 not boasting of the things not measured, in other men’s labors, and having hope—your faith increasing—in you to be enlarged, according to our line—into abundance,
Hinu, timekela lepi lihengu levakitili vandu vangi, nambu tisadika kuvya sadika yinu iyonjokeseka kukula pagati yinu muchipimu cheativikili Chapanga.
16 to proclaim good news in the [places] beyond you, not in another’s line in regard to the things made ready, to boast;
Penapo yati tihotola kukokosa Lilovi la Bwina pamulima wungi, patali na nyenye, ndi timekela lihengu litu, lepi kumekela lihengu levakitili vandu vangi pandu pangi.
17 and he who is boasting—let him boast in the LORD;
Nambu ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, “Mweimeka amekela gala geahengili BAMBU.”
18 for he who is commending himself is not approved, but he whom the LORD commends.
Mundu mweiyidakiliwa lepi yula mweakujilumbalila mwene, nambu mundu yula mwailumbiwa na BAMBU.
