2 Corinthians 11
1 O that you were bearing with me a little of the folly, but you also bear with me:
Ni li takaleza kuti kambe ni mwa libika mu bumwi buholo bwa ngu. Kono tota mu libika name!
2 for I am zealous for you with zeal of God, for I betrothed you to one Husband, a pure virgin, to present to Christ,
Mukuti ni fwa muuna chenu. Nina muuna wa bu ireeza ka chenu, kuzwa ha ni ba mi sepisezi ku ba mu maseso ku mukwame umwina. Ni ba sepisi ku mi tambika habusu ni muli ba kamwale luli kwa Kerisite.
3 and I fear, lest, as the serpent deceived Eve in his subtlety, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that [is] in the Christ;
Kono ni tiite kuti hamwi, sina inzoka mwi ba chengeleli Eva cha butali tali bwayo, mizezo yenu i wola kumi zwisa mwi nzila ya kuli boza hansi ni kulibika mubu niti bwa Kerisite.
4 for if, indeed, he who is coming preaches another Jesus whom we did not preach, or you receive another spirit which you did not receive, or other good news which you did not accept—well were you bearing [it],
Mi mukuti kuti zumwi mweze mi nja wambe za Jesu zumwi kwanda yozo utu ba luti. Kapa mukuti mu tambula lungi luhuho kwanda lu muba tambuli. Kamba mukuti mu tambula yingi i vangeli kwanda yeyina i mu ba tambuli. Muli bika ahulu mwezi zintu cho kwi zuula!
5 for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles,
Mi ni zeza kuti kanina hamu koloko wa bana ba lizuwa bunini kuba sumpwa ba apositola ba tota.
6 and even if a commoner in speech—yet not in knowledge, but in everything we were made evident in all things to you.
Kono ni hanisa lutitwe mukuha chiwambo, ka hena ni yasa lutitwe mu maano. Mwinzila zonse ni mu zintu zonse tu be ziba nkanisi ichi kwenu.
7 Did I do sin—humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I freely proclaimed the good news of God to you?
Kana ni ba tendi chibi cha kuli bozahansi cho kuti inwe mu nyamunwe? mi cha ku lukuluha ni ba kutazi i vangeli ya Ireeza kwenu.
8 I robbed other assemblies, having taken wages, for your ministry;
Ni ba hibili inkeleke zimwi cha ku tambula i ntuso zi zwa ku bali kuti cini mi tendele musebezi.
9 and being present with you, and having been in want, I was chargeable to no one, for the brothers supplied my lack—having come from Macedonia—and I kept myself burdenless to you in everything, and will keep.
Hani bena nanwe mi ni ba ku bulite, kahena ni ba lemenezi muntu zintu. Mi kubula kwangu ku ba tuswa ba mwangu baba li ku zwilila kwa Masedoniya. Mu zintu zonse ni bali bikite kuti kanji ni ni mi katazi, mi muni zwile habusu ni ku chita bulyo.
10 The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting will not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia;
Sina buniti bwa Kiresite mu bwina mwangu, ku li tundubula kwangu kete ku tontozwe mu zibaka za Achayia.
11 for what reason? Because I do not love you? God has known!
Ibaka? Ka kuti kanimi saki? Ireeza njo wizi.
12 And what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also;
Mi zini tenda muni zwile habusu ni ku zi tenda, nji kuta kuti nizwise kuzekelela kwa kuni nyansa mi ni ku zekelela ku basaka ku li tundubula ka teni- kuti nabo ba wani kite ni ba tenda mutendo uswana ni utu tenda.
13 for those such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,
Mi mukuti abo bantu ba polofita ba maapa ni ba tendi ba buchengi. Ba libonekisa abo beene kuti ba Apostola ba Kiresite.
14 and no wonder—for even Satan transforms himself into a messenger of light;
Mi iyi ka yi komokisi, kakuti ni haibe satani uli bonekisa kuti ingeloi lye seli.
15 [it is] no great thing, then, if his servants also transform themselves as servants of righteousness—whose end will be according to their works.
Ka hena indaba inkando i komokisa haiba aba ba hikana nabo bali bonekisa kuti ba hikana ba ku luka. Bu kaabo bwabo ka bu swanele mi tendo yabo.
16 Again I say, may no one think me to be a fool; and if otherwise, receive me even as a fool, that I also may boast a little.
Ni ta kuti hape: kanji kubi niyo zeza kuti ni muholo. Haiba mu mu zezela, muni tambule mu buhole bwa ngu nji kuti ni li tundumune kanini.
17 That which I speak, I do not speak according to the LORD, but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting;
Chini wamba kakuya cha kuli tundumuna kwa kulizuwisisa kaku nyanswitwe kwa Simwine, kono ni wamba ubu chihole.
18 since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast:
Sina mukuti bungi bwa bantu buli tundumuna ka kuya che nyama, name muni li tundubule.
19 for you gladly bear with the fools—being wise,
Mi cho ku tabela muli kopanya ni zihole, mu talifite mu bene?
20 for you bear, if anyone is bringing you under bondage, if anyone devours, if anyone takes away, if anyone exalts himself, if anyone strikes you on the face;
Mu likopanya ni zumwi yo mi tenda ba hikana, ha mi sinya, cwale ha mi hinda ha bufokoli bwenu, haiba uli bonisa ku hita iwe, kapa haiba uku bakula ha menso.
21 I speak in reference to dishonor, how that we were weak, and in whatever anyone is bold—in foolishness I say [it]—I also am bold.
Kani wambe ka cha maswabi etu kuti tu bena bufokoli mu ku chita bulyo. Kono he haiba kwina yo litundumuna- Ni wamba ubu chihole- Name bulyo muni li tundubule.
22 Are they Hebrews? I also! Are they Israelites? I also! Are they seed of Abraham? I also!
Kana Maheberu? He name. Kana Maisilaele? He name. Kana ba luzubo lwa Abrahama? He name.
23 Are they servants of Christ? As [if] beside myself I speak—I [am] more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times.
Kana ba hikana ba Kerisite? (Ni wamba ubu kana ni ba hena mwi ngana.) Ime nji ahulu. Ni bena mane mu mitendo mingi mi kukutu, mwi ntolongo zingi, mu ku kabwa ku hitilize, ku lolinsana ni bukabo bungi bwe ifu.
24 Five times I received from Jews forty [stripes] except one;
Kuzwa ku Majuda ni ba wani iyanza ka ku ekeza “makumi onee e mbazi ni kuzwisa kamwina.”
25 three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I have passed a night and a day in the deep;
To tatwe ni ba shupwa che mbazi. Limwina ni ba goobolwa. Totatwe nini fwilwa chisepe. Ni ba mani izuba ni busiku mu chisepe chiyalukite.
26 journeys many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from [my own] race, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brothers;
Ni ba kwina mu misipili inako ni nako, mwi nkozi ya lwizi, mwi nkozi ya baasa, mwi nkozi ya bakwangu, mwi nkozi ya ba kunze, inkozi ya mumu leneñi, inkozi ya mwi inkanda, inkozi ya kwi wate, inkozi ya ba mwangu ba maapa.
27 in laboriousness and painfulness, many times in watchings, in hunger and thirst, many times in fastings, in cold and nakedness;
Ni bena mumu tendo mu kukutu ni mu bu halo bukukutu, mu masiku a kusalala, mwi nzala ni mwi nyotwa, mukuli nyima zilyo inako ni nako, mu mpeho ni mu ma mpunu.
28 apart from the things without—the crowding on me that is daily—the care of all the assemblies.
Kuzwa ku zintu zonse, kwina kusunda kwe izuba ni zuba hangu cha kuli ka lililwa kaze nkeleke zonse.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is stumbled, and I am not burned?
Njeni yasena ziho? mi kanina ziho? Njeni yaba chitwa kuti a we, mi ime kani suntiki?
30 If it is necessary to boast, I will boast of the things of my weakness;
Haibe ni ni li tundumuna, munili tundumune ni zi bonisa bu fokoli bwangu.
31 the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ—who is blessed for all ages—has known that I do not lie! (aiōn g165)
Ireeza ni Isi wa Simwine Jesu, iye yo tembwa kuya kwi ile, wizi kuti kani chengi! (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor [under] Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me,
Kwa Damaseka, mubusi mwi konde lya Mulena Aretasi abali ku gantela itolopo ya Damaseka kuti ani sumine.
33 and I was let down through a window in a rope basket, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.
Kono ni ba zwisikizwa he haulo lye mota mu chitanda, mi niba ba banduki mu manza akwe.
