2 Corinthians 12
1 It is necessary to boast, though it is not profitable. But I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Njelede kuli dundizya, nikuba kuti tachigwasyi. Pesi ndilaya kuzilengaano aziyubunuzyo zizwa kuMwaami.
2 I know a man in Meshikha, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I do not know, or whether out of the body, I do not know; God knows), such a one was caught up into the third heaven.
Kuli mwaalumi umwi ngundizi muliKkilisito oyo minyaka iili kumi ayine yakayiinda - wakali mumubili tandizi pe, Leza nguuzi - wakatolwa kujulu lyatatu.
3 I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I do not know; God knows),
Alimwi ndilizi kuti oyu mwaalumi - naa muumubili, kanakuti kunze aamubili tandizi pe, Leza nguuzi -
4 how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a human to utter.
wakatolwa kubusena bwakulyookezya nkwakaakumvwa majwi aatambiki alimwi tachili mumulawu kuti bantu baawambe.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
Mukuyiminina muntu uuli oobo ndali dundiizya. Pesi ime ime nkelyiimvwilidi lwangu nsikolidundilizya pe, ado biyo aatalaakubula nguzu kwangu.
6 For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no one may think more of me than that which he sees in me, or hears from me.
Na kuti ndasla kulidundiizya, nsikoba chifubafuba, nkaambo ndinoli nkengamba kasimpe. Pesi ndilatantamuka kukuli dundiizya, kuchitila kuti kutabi uumwi undiyeeyela atala loko kwinda ezyoo nzyabona mulindime na kuti nzyamvwa kuzwa kuli ndime.
7 And because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, therefore, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satana to pound away at me, to keep me from exalting myself.
Mukundigwaysa kuti nditalisumpuli nkaambo kakukwiindilila kwabupati bwaziyubunuzyo, ndakapegwa buumvwa munyama, kuti mutumwa wasatani andipenzye kuchitila kuti nditali sumpuli.
8 Concerning this thing, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
Ndakakkombelezya Mwami tutatu aatala acheechi, kuti achigwisye kuzwa kulindime.
9 He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Meshikha may rest on me.
Pesi wakati kulindime, “Luzyalo lwangu aalinduwe lulizulide, nkaambo nguzu zilazulizigwa mukubula nguzu.” Aboobo inga chilabota loko kulidundiizya aatala akubula nguzu kwangu, kuchitila kuti nguzu zyaKkilisito zikale aali ndime.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Meshikha's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
Aboobo, ndilakutisika nkaambo kaKkilisito mukubula nguzu, muzisapi, mukupenzegwa, amuzyiimo zityompya. Awo nesikwe nguzu mpimpawo mpelaanguzu.
11 I have become foolish. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
Ndaba chifubafuba! Ndinywe mwakandisyanikizya kuchita oobu, nkaambo ndakeelede kulumbayizigwaa andinywe. Nkaambo teenzi ndakali muniini pe kulaabo bateegwa mbatumwa bapati, nikuba kuti nsili chintu.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
Zitondeezyo zyakasimpe zyamutumwa zyakachitwa aakati kanu akukakatila koonse, zitondeezyo, azigambyo amaleele.
13 For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the congregations, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong.
Ino mwakacheya biyeni kubupati kwiinda mbungano zyoonse, kunze kwakuti teensi ndakali mukkulikuli ndinywe? Mundilekelele mukubisya ooku!
14 Look, for the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not what is yours, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Mulange! ndilibambilide kuza kuli ndinywe ilwatatu. Nsikozooba mukkuli kulindinywe, nkaambo nsiyanduuli zyenu. Ndiyanda ndinywe. Nkaambo bana tabeelede kuyobwenda bana.
15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
Chakubotelwa inga ndila maninsya lubono lwangu akumana ime lwangu nkemaninina myuya yanu. Nankemuyanda loko, ino ime ndiyandwe buniini na?
16 But be it so, I did not myself burden you. But, being crafty, I caught you with deception.
Mbuuli mbukubede takwe nindaka mulemezya pe. Pesi nkaambo ndilimuchenjezu loko, ndime ndakamujata chalweeno.
17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of them whom I have sent to you?
Ani ndakalya maanu na kwindila kuli baabo mbindakatuma kuli ndinywe?
18 I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Did not we walk in the same spirit? Did not we walk in the same steps?
Ndakasungwazya Tayitasi kuti ayinke kuli ndinywe, alimwi ndakatuma uumwi mukwesu kuti amusindikile. Ani Tayitasi wakamulya maanu na? Teetwakenda mumuuya omwe na? Teetwakakeenda mumuuyaomwe na? Teetwakeenda muntambo zyomwe na?
19 Have you been thinking all this time that we have been defending ourselves before you? In the sight of God we speak in Meshikha; and all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
Ani muyeeya kuti echi chiindi choonse twakali kulikwabilila kuli ndinywe? Mumenso aaLeza, nomuyandw, muliKkilisito twali kwamba zyoonse katuzyambula kusimisigwa kwanu.
20 For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you do not desire; that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, riots;
Ndiyoowa kuti ndaza amwi nsiko zoomujana mbuui mbepeekezya. Ndiyowa kuti amwi tamukozoondijana mbuli mbumupeekezya. Ndiyowa kuti amwi kunoli kukkazyania, bbivwe kunyemezya, kusaluulana kuninaania, kuvwiya, bulutiluti akutabambika kabotu.
21 that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness and sexual immorality and lustfulness which they committed.
Ndiyoowa kuti ndaboola Leza wangu uyoondibombya kunembo lyenu. Ndiyoowa kuti amwi ndizoowusa nkaambo kabwiingi bwabaabo bakabisya kale kabateempedwe pe kubusofwaazi abusangu alimwi akwemuzya kusofweede nkubakachita.
