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,
Neni Paulu nuwabeliziyani mwenga kupitira unanagala na upoli wakuwi Kristu, wantu wamonga walonga neni pawera na mwenga nwera mnanagala kumbiti nkalipa pawera patali na mwenga.
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;
Nuwaluwani mwenga namuntenda hweri mkalipa panizaku, toziya nakaka neni weza kukalipa kwa wantu walii yawatuhola twenga tulikala handa wantu wa pasipanu.
3 for walking in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,
Tulikoma ndiri handa wantu wa pasipanu ntambu yawalikoma.
4 for the weapons of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds,
Toziya silaa zyatuzitendera mungondu mwetu ndo silaa zya pasipanu ndiri, kumbiti silaa zyatuzitendera ndo silaa zya likakala lya Mlungu, zyatuzitendera kuhalibisiya boma zyoseri. Twankuharabisiya visoweru vyoseri vya kupaya,
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 tubomolanga kila shileweleru sha kulitumbira shashitulwa kulema kuvimana kwa Mlungu. Tutola kila liholu lyoseri na kulitenda limjimili Kristu.
6 and being in readiness to avenge every disobedience whenever your obedience may be fulfilled.
Twenga hatuweri kala kwazibu kila ntambu ya kujimira ndiri, mwenga pamuwera kala mukujimira.
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;
Mwenga mlola vitwatira kwa kunja hera. Hashi, kwana muntu yoseri yakalihola kuwera yomberi ndo gwa Kristu? Yina! Yomberi su katuholi viraa twenga twawantu wa Kristu ntambu yakawera mweni.
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,
Ata neni panulitumbira uwezu wakatupananiti Mtuwa, uwezu wa kuwanyawa pota na kuwabomolanga, hapeni moni soni kwa shitwatila ashi.
9 that I may not seem as if I would terrify you through the letters,
Neni nfira ndiri monikani nuwatenda mwenga mtili kwa hamba zyangu.
10 “because the letters indeed,” says one, “[are] weighty and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech despicable.”
Toziya muntu hakalongi, “Hamba zya Paulu zikalipa na ziwera na ujumbi utopera, kumbiti mweni pakawera na twenga, kawoneka kalegilegi na visoweru vyakuwi shintu ndiri.”
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.
Su muntu kavimani, kwahera ntambu yingi mushilii shatulemba muhamba zyetu patuwera patali na shilii shatutenda patuwera panu pamuhera na mwenga.
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,
Twenga metujeri ndiri kulitula twaweni ama kulifana na walii yawalikwisa weni. Wantu yawalitenda kuwera shipimu sha kulipimira weni na pawalifananiziya weni kwa weni, womberi su wawera wazyigizyigi.
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;
Kumbiti twenga hapeni tulitumbi nentu, kulitumba aku hakusigali mushipimu sha lihengu lyakatupananiti Mlungu, lihengu lyatulitenda kwa mwenga.
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,
Twenga tulokiti ndiri mumipaka yawatutuliriti patwiziti kwa mwenga, twenga ndo twatulongoleriti kuwajegera Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Kristu.
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,
Su twenga hapeni tulitumbiri lihengu lyawatenditi wamonga, kupita mumipaka yakatutuliriti Mlungu. Kumbiti tulitumbira kuwera njimiru yenu payongereka, lihengu lya twenga kwa mwenga haliwongeleki nentu.
16 to proclaim good news in the [places] beyond you, not in another’s line in regard to the things made ready, to boast;
Shakapanu hatuwezi kubwera Shisoweru Shiwagira muisi zimonga kutali na mwenga na hapeni tulitumbiri lihengu lyalitenditwi kala na wantu wamonga pahala pingi.
17 and he who is boasting—let him boast in the LORD;
Kumbiti Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga, “Muntu yakalitumba, kalitumbiri lihengu lyakatenditi Mtuwa.”
18 for he who is commending himself is not approved, but he whom the LORD commends.
Muntu yakajimilwa ndo ulii ndiri yakalizyuma mweni, kumbiti ulii yakazyumwa na Mtuwa.
