2 Corinthians 12
1 To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the LORD.
Yiinogiwa nedaye, ilakhesikhuli ekhekhidenchiwa nelyo. Ila nikhwendelela khunyivonelo mwinukhe uwakhukhuma khwa mbaha.
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;
Nemanyile umunu yumo mwa Kilisite uuvalenave miaka kumi na minne egegerutile inave—giva mumbele, au khunchi khumbele, one sanehumanyile, Unguluve alumanyile—akhapembiwe khukwanya khukherunga ekhwadatu.
3 and I have known such a man—whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God has known—
Tena nelumanyile ukhuta umunu oyo—yingave khumbele, au khunchi khumbele ane saneluumanyile Unguluve alumanyile—
4 that he was snatched up to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.
ataliwe khukwanya impakha akhu paradeisi nukhupulekha embombo embalanchee khu munu vevoni uvikhoganchova.
5 Of such a one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my weaknesses,
Pakhuva umunu uyale nduyu yu nikhedaya. ila pakhuva ningave nemwene uvupepowango.
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;
Inave ninogwa ukhwedaya, sananiva inkonyofu, ulwakuva naninchoovaga uvutilweli. Ila nibekhela ukhwedaya, ili ave asipali vevoni uvakhusagila fivi pakwanya paago kholikho ekhokhive nekha igati ndyune au ukhupulekhekhe khulwune.
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.
Sanekhedaye ulwakhuva inyivonelo inchoo ajaabu. Ulwakhuva, sanidendiwa na matingo, elitoni lwa vekhiwe igati ndyune, usung'wa va ndugu khukhonesya onenee, ili nesite ukhupendukha ukhuva nulwedayo.
8 I called on the LORD three times concerning this thing, that it might depart from me,
Ifisekhe vidatu nekhanchoovile mumbaha khukhusu ela, ili omwene okhukhencha ukhukhuma khulwune.
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:
Umwene akhambula, “Uluhungu lwango lukwelile khulwune, inave amakha givomba ukhuva ipepe. Inave, nenganogweficha ulwedayo ukhulengana uvupepo wetu, niogwa uvuwesyo uvya Kilisiti vuwesya ukhutama pakwanya palyunee.
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;
Hata evo nikwelanila ukhukongana nu Kilisti, inave uvupepo, mu maganilo, mu taabu, mukhutesivwa, inave bado ulendokuto, ulwakhuva usekhe ugunavile nuvupepo, tena nelena makha.
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.
One nevile inkonyoofu! umwe mwa nyumelinche khu ele, ulwakhuva na niva nimuliwe numwe. Ulwakhuva sanala pasi khabisa khu vale avavikhelangiwa vasikhiwa— vanono, inave one siyo khantu.
12 The signs, indeed, of the apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds,
Ulwedekho ulwayilweli ulwa vasikhiwa twavombikhe pagati palwufwe nu lweyumilenchoo, nchivonekha nchakhuswiga nemigendelo.
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!
Khulugendo lulekho monogelamile ukhuva pasi pa tembile inchisigile, ila onene sanave inchigo khulwumwe? Musyekhele khunongwa inchi!
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,
Lolaa! one ninogwa okhwincha khulwumwe mara ya datu. Saniva inchigo khulwumwe, olwakhuva saninogwa ekhenu. Nikhuvonogwa omwe. Ulwakhuva avana savinogiwa ukhuvekha ifyapongera. Pakhuva yamwene, avavakha vinogiwa ukhuvekha ifyapongera khwa khuvatanga avana.
15 and I will most gladly spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, loving you more abundantly, I am loved less.
Nikhovokha sana ukhutumikha nukhutumekhewa mbunogwe wenyo. Inave nivaganile finchoo, ninogiwa ukhuganiwa padebe?
16 And be it [so], I did not burden you, but being crafty, I took you with guile;
Ila inave vuyelevo, sanekhavalekhele unchingo umwe. Ulwakhuva one nelemanyi sana, une ne navakolile omwe nale ndo khuva navawene khuvudesi.
17 anyone of those whom I have sent to you—did I take advantage of you by him?
Te, nekhatolile nu khwevombela ifyapakwanya khwa vevoni uvenekhasukhile khulwumwe?
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?
Nambulaninche uTito ukhwincha khulwumwe, ne khasung'ile ulokolo ayonge okhwincha pupaninie? Je, uTito avavombile ifinu fihi? Je, satwagendile munjila yila yila? Je, satwagende mulwayo lula lula?
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,
Mutile khusekhe gwoni ugu tulekhwetetela yufwe twevene khulwumwe? Khuvulongolo khwa Nguluve, nu Kriisti, tuvile twinchova khelakhela khunjela iyakhuvemikha omwe.
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,
Inave nele nulutende ukhuta nelava nikhwinchi nesite okhuvavona omwe ndo luninogwa. Nele nulotende ukhuta muwesya msite ukhumbona one ndolo mwinogwa. Nele nulutende ukhuta palava namalumbano, uwifu, umwinukhu ugwa luvipo, uvwegane uvwa vemwene, uvudesi, ekhiburi, na matata.
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.
Nele nulutende ukhuva upuyakhanivuya tena, Unguluve vango iwesya ukhunyisya pavulongolo palwumwe. Nele nulutende ukhuta yuniwesya ukhwelelesya na vingi avava vombile imbivi usekhe ugu, na avasavadovele ulusyekhelo, nu vuligu ni mbombo inchinchivombiwa.
