2 Corinthians 12
1 To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the LORD.
Chinalilape namose ngaikuŵajilwa, nambo chisale yankati yakwiwona ni uunukuko umbatile kutyochela kwa Ambuje.
2 I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago—whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God has known—such a one being snatched up to the third heaven;
Ngummanyilila mundu jumo mwa Kilisito, ni sambano ipitile yaka likumi ni ncheche, mundu jo ŵajigalikwe kwinani. Ngangwimanyilila kanga mchiilu pane mu mbumu nambo Akunnungu akwimanyilila.
3 and I have known such a man—whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God has known—
Une nguimanyilila yakuti mundu jo ŵajigalikwe kwinani, nambo nganguimanyilila kanga ŵatemi kweleko mchiilu pane ngaŵa mchiilu, Akunnungu nsyene akwimanyilila.
4 that he was snatched up to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.
Kweleko kumbepo ko, ŵaipilikene indu yanti, indu yo ngaikusachilwa mundu kuiŵalanga.
5 Of such a one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my weaknesses,
Nipele chinalilape kwaligongo lya mundu jwanti yele nambo ngangulilapa nansyene, ikaŵe chinalilape kwaligongo lya kulepetala kwangu.
6 for if I may wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I will say truth; but I refrain, lest in regard to me anyone may think anything above what he sees me, or hears anything of me;
Ngasachile kulilapa ngangaŵe jwakuloŵela, pakuŵa ngasasile isyene pe. Nambo ngulisiŵila, kuti jwalijose atakung'anichisya une mbundile nnope kwipunda yakwiwona njitendaga ni kwipilikana kutyochela kwangune.
7 and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted too much, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, that he might batter me, that I might not be exalted too much.
Nambo kuti aasiŵile une kulilapa kwannope kwa winji wa iunukuko, napotekwe mchiilu changu mpela ila ngusomwa ni miiŵa, jijaliji mpela jwantenga jwa Shetani kwa kunagasya ni kusiŵila kuti ngasililapa kwakupunda.
8 I called on the LORD three times concerning this thing, that it might depart from me,
Nachondelele Ambuje katatu kuti kupeteka ko kundyoche.
9 and He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness”; most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:
Nombewo ŵaasalile, “Ntuuka wangu ukunjenela, pakuŵa ukombole wangu ukumalichika mu kulepetala.” Kwayele chinalilape kwa kwangala mu kulepetala kwangu kuti machili ga Kilisito gatame pachanya pangu.
10 for this reason I am well pleased in weaknesses, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses—for Christ; for whenever I may be weak, then I am powerful;
Kwa yele ngusengwa pangulepetala ni pangutukanwa ni pangusoŵekwa ni indu ni pangulagaswa ni pangusauka ligongo lya Kilisito. Pakuŵa naŵaga jwakulepetala, katema ko ni pingukola machili.
11 I have become a fool—boasting; you compelled me; for I ought to have been commended by you, for I was behind the very chiefest apostles in nothing—even if I am nothing.
Ndili mpela jwakuloŵela, nambo ŵanyamwe ni mundesisye meje jwanti nyi. Ŵanyamwe mwaŵajilwe kunapa une, pakuŵa naŵajilwe kulapikwa ni ŵanyamwe, ligongo atamuno nganima chindu nambo ngakunyichilila ŵele ŵakuliŵilanga, “Achinduna achakulu.”
12 The signs, indeed, of the apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds,
Imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka yaikumanyisya kuti une ndili nduna yapanganyikwe kukwenu kwa upililiu wose.
13 for what is there in which you were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this injustice!
Ana chindu chi changanimbanganya kukwenu chinachipangenye mu mipingo jine ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito? Nganinansausya kwakusaka mungamuchisye. Munechelesye chileŵo chi.
14 Behold, a third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I do not seek yours, but you, for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children,
Nnole, sambano naliŵichile chile kunjimajimila kaatatu ni ngasinantopela. Ngangusaka ipanje yenu nambo ngunsaka mwachinsyene. Pakuŵa achaŵelesi akwaŵichila mbiko achiŵana ŵao nambo ŵanache ngakwaŵichila mbiko achaŵelesi ŵao.
15 and I will most gladly spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, loving you more abundantly, I am loved less.
Chinjisengwa nnope kupeleganya yose ingwete ni namose kulityosya nansyene kwaligongo lya kunkamusya ŵanyamwe. Ana chimunonyele kanandi pakuŵa nannonyele kwannnope?
16 And be it [so], I did not burden you, but being crafty, I took you with guile;
Nipele chinjitichisye kuti nganinantopela. Nambo ŵane akuganisya kuti, “Pakuŵa che Paolo ali jwakalamuka, antanjisye kwakunlambusya.”
17 anyone of those whom I have sent to you—did I take advantage of you by him?
Ana panamtumile jwantenga kukwenu nampokwele chachili chose kwa litala lya jwantenga jula?
18 I begged Titus, and sent with [him] the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not walk in the same Spirit? Did we not [walk] in the same steps?
Nanchisisye che Tito ni kwatuma pamo ni nlongo njetu jwine. Uli che Tito ŵanjiŵile? Ana ngankuimanyilila kuti uwe twapanganyisye masengo kwa nningwa umo, ni tukupanganya chindu kwa litala lilalila?
19 Again, [do] you think that we are making defense to you? We speak before God in Christ; and all things, beloved, [are] for your up-building,
Ana nkuganisya kuti mpaka sambano tukulichenjela twachinsyene kukwenu? Uweji tukuŵecheta paujo pa Akunnungu tuli tulumbikene ni Kilisito. Achambusanga ŵangu yele yose tukwipanganya kwa kunlimbisya ŵanyamwe.
20 for I fear lest, having come, I may not find you such as I wish, and I may be found by you such as you do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, slanders, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,
Ngogopa, apala pachinjiika kukwenu ndakunsimana nganimma inguti pakusaka une, mbesi chimoneche kukwenu ingangusaka moneche. Ngogopa kunsimana nli ni umani ni wiu ni ugongomalo ni makani ni kulambuchisyana ni kunong'onana ni kulifuna ni utindiganyo pasikati jenu.
21 lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may mourn many of those having sinned before, and having not changed their mind concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and licentiousness, that they practiced.
Ngogopa kuti pachiiche sooni, Akunnungu ŵangu chanyalusye mmbujo mwenu, noneji chinjililasika kwaligongo lya aŵala ŵandu ŵatesile sambi kalakala nambo nganaleka usakwa wao ni chigwagwa ni chikululu chiŵatesile.
