2 Corinthians 11

1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do 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 jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin 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 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the sincerity and purity that is in 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 he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different Good News, which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.

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 am not at all behind the very best apostles.

Mi ni zeza kuti kanina hamu koloko wa bana ba lizuwa bunini kuba sumpwa ba apositola ba tota.

6 Even though I am unskilled in speech, I am not unskilled in knowledge. But in every way we have made this known to you in all things.

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 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God's Good News free of charge?

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 churches, taking wages from them that I might serve you.

Ni ba hibili inkeleke zimwi cha ku tambula i ntuso zi zwa ku bali kuti cini mi tendele musebezi.

9 When I was present with you and was in need, I was not a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.

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 As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

Sina buniti bwa Kiresite mu bwina mwangu, ku li tundubula kwangu kete ku tontozwe mu zibaka za Achayia.

11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.

Ibaka? Ka kuti kanimi saki? Ireeza njo wizi.

12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we.

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 such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ's apostles.

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 masquerades as an angel of light.

Mi iyi ka yi komokisi, kakuti ni haibe satani uli bonekisa kuti ingeloi lye seli.

15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade 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 I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, 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 confidence of boasting.

Chini wamba kakuya cha kuli tundumuna kwa kulizuwisisa kaku nyanswitwe kwa Simwine, kono ni wamba ubu chihole.

18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.

Sina mukuti bungi bwa bantu buli tundumuna ka kuya che nyama, name muni li tundubule.

19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.

Mi cho ku tabela muli kopanya ni zihole, mu talifite mu bene?

20 For you put up with it if someone makes slaves of you, if someone exploits you, if someone takes advantage of you, if someone exalts himself, if someone 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 by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet however any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

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? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.

Kana Maheberu? He name. Kana Maisilaele? He name. Kana ba luzubo lwa Abrahama? He name.

23 Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I am more so; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often.

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 from the Jews I received forty stripes minus 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 suffered shipwreck. I have been 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 I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from those who are not Jews, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the 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 labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and 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 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily, anxiety for all the churches.

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 caused to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?

Njeni yasena ziho? mi kanina ziho? Njeni yaba chitwa kuti a we, mi ime kani suntiki?

30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.

Haibe ni ni li tundumuna, munili tundumune ni zi bonisa bu fokoli bwangu.

31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed forevermore, knows 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 guarded the city of the Damascenes, desiring to arrest me.

Kwa Damaseka, mubusi mwi konde lya Mulena Aretasi abali ku gantela itolopo ya Damaseka kuti ani sumine.

33 Through a window I was let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.

Kono ni ba zwisikizwa he haulo lye mota mu chitanda, mi niba ba banduki mu manza akwe.
