2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Messiah; I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you.
Kaakano nze kennyini, Pawulo, mbeegayirira mu buwombeefu n’obukkakkamu bwa Kristo bwe mba nabwo nga neetoowazizza nga ndi nammwe, naye bwe mba nga siri nammwe ne mba muvumu gye muli;
2 But I implore you that when I am present I may not have to be bold with the confidence with which I intend on showing against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.
mbegayirira wadde ssiriiwo, bwe ndijja nneme kwogeza maanyi nga bwe nkola eri abantu abamu abatulowooleza okuba nga tugoberera bya mubiri.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh;
Newaakubadde nga tutambulira mu mubiri, tetulwana ng’ab’omubiri,
4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty in God for the tearing down of strongholds,
kubanga ebyokulwanyisa byaffe eby’olutalo, si bya mubiri wabula bya maanyi mu Katonda olw’okuwangula ebigo, n’olw’okuwangula endowooza,
5 throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Messiah;
na buli kintu ekigulumivu ekyekuluntaza okusinga amagezi ga Katonda, era nga tujeemulula buli kirowoozo, kigondere Kristo,
6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience will be made full.
era nga tweteeseteese okuwalana eggwanga ku bujeemu bwonna, bwe munaagonderanga ddala.
7 Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Messiah's, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Messiah's, so also we are Messiah's.
Mutunuulira ebintu nga bwe birabika kungulu. Omuntu yenna bw’alowooza munda mu ye okuba owa Kristo, ekyo akirowooza ku ye yekka, nti nga naffe tuli ba Kristo nga ye.
8 For though I should boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down) I will not be disappointed,
Kubanga ne bwe ndisukkirira okwenyumiriza olw’obuyinza bwe tulina, Mukama bwe yatuwa olw’okubazimba so si lwa kubassa wansi, sirikwatibwa nsonyi,
9 that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
nneme kufaanana ng’abatiisa mu bbaluwa zange.
10 For, "His letters," they say, "are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised."
Kubanga agamba nti, “Ebbaluwa ze ddala nzito era z’amaanyi, naye okubaawo kwe mu mubiri kunafu, n’okwogera kwe kunyoomebwa.”
11 Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
Alowooza bw’atyo ategeere nga bye twogerako mu bbaluwa nga tetuli nammwe, era bye tukola nga tuli nammwe.
12 For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
Ffe tetwaŋŋanga kwebalira wadde okwegeraageranya n’abamu ku abo abeetendereza, naye bo bwe beepimamu bokka na bokka, ne beegeraageranya bokka na bokka tebaba na kutegeera.
13 But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
Naye ffe tetujja kwenyumiriza kusukka ku kigera kyaffe, naye tujja kwenyumiriza ng’ekigera ekyo ekyatuweebwa Katonda bwe kiri, ne tusobola n’okubatuukako mmwe.
14 For we do not stretch ourselves too much, as though we did not reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the gospel of Messiah,
Kubanga tetukununkiriza kusinga kigera kye tulina, kubanga nammwe twabatuusaako Enjiri ya Kristo,
15 not boasting excessively in the work done by others, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,
nga tetwenyumiriza kusinga omulimu abalala gwe baakola, naye nga tulina essuubi nti ng’okukkiriza kwammwe bwe kugenda kweyongera, n’omulimu gwaffe gugenda gweyongera,
16 so as to preach the gospel even to the regions beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
era nga tubuulira Enjiri ne mu bitundu ebibali ewala, naye so si mu kitundu eky’omulala omwakolebwa edda omulimu waleme okubaawo eyeenyumiriza.
17 But "he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."
Naye eyeenyumiriza yeenyumirizenga mu Mukama waffe;
18 For it is not he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
kubanga eyeetenda yekka, oyo si ye asiimibwa, wabula oyo Mukama gw’atenda.
