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.
Mulina lya Yesu Klistu wa moyonteka kayi wabomba moyo, ame ndekali Paulo ngobakute kwamba bantu nabambi eti ndemuyowa ndabanga ne njamwe, nomba ndabula buyowa ndabanga kutali, lino kamunyumfwani.
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.
Kamutankakatisha kuba wayuma moyo ndakesa, pakwinga ndashometi ngandibayumina moyo abo bakute kwambeti tukute kwinseti bantu bamucishici.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh;
Ee, nicakubinga nambi tukute kwikala mucishici, nsombi nkatukute kulwana nkondo yakusebensesha byensho byacishi sobwe.
4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty in God for the tearing down of strongholds,
Byensho byetu byakulwanisha ntebyo bya mucishi, nsombi ni byensho bya Lesa, byangofu mbyetukute kusebensesha kukulumuna malinga ashimpa, tukute kupwaya ntota shabwepeshi.
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;
Tukute kuwisha panshi bintu bilibyonse bikute kushinkilisha lwinshibo lwa Lesa, tukute kusunga busha miyeyo ya ntota kwambeti inyumfwile Klistu.
6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience will be made full.
Kayi panyuma pakuboneti lushomo lwenu lulayumu nta, nitukalibambile kupa cisubulo uliyense labulunga kunyumfwila.
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.
Amwe mukute kubona bintu mbuli ncobilabonekenga kunsa. Sena mulayeyengeti njamwe mwenka mulakonkelenga Klistu? Ishibani kwambeti twense tulakonkelenga Klistu mbuli bonse ncebalenshinga.
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,
Nambi ntwange mwakupitilila malile abwendeleshi mbwalatupa Mwami Klistu Yesu, nikwambeti twibake lushomo lwenu nteko kulupasula sobwe.
9 that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
Nkandamuyoshonga ne makalata akame.
10 For, "His letters," they say, "are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised."
Mobambi mulambangeti, “Makalata akame alema kayi nangofu, nomba ndabanga pakati penu ndemutolo kayi maswi ngonkute kwamba aliya ncito.”
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.
Abo bantu bela kwinshibeti paliya bupusano bulipo pakati pa makalata akame ne ncenkute kwamba ndabanga pakati penu.
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.
Afwe nkatwasakamana, nambi kulyelenkanya kulyabo balalisumpulunga. Nomba batabila! Pakwinga bakute kulipimina palwabo bene, kayi ne kulyelenkanya palwabo bene.
13 But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
Nomba afwe kutwanga kwetu nkakwapitilila malile, nsombi kuli mukati mwa malile a ncito njalatupa Lesa iyo yasankanyapo amwe.
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 Good News of Messiah,
Nkatulatwanganga mwakupitilila sobwe, pasa ntenjafwe twalamuletela mulumbe ulambanga sha Klistu.
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,
Nkatulatwangilinga ncito yalasebensa bantu nabambi kubeti njafwe twalaisebensa. Nsombi na mube ne lushomo lwayuma ndashoma kwambeti nitucikonshe kubashikila bantu bangi uko nkomwekala. Pakwinga ecintu cinene ncetulayandanga.
16 so as to preach the Good News even to the regions beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
Neco nitukacikonshe kukambauka Mulumbe Waina kubishi nabimbi bili kunsa kuli njamwe, uko nkotwela kubula kutwangila ncito njalasebensa muntu umbi.
17 But "he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."
Mabala alambangeti, “Layandanga kutwanga atwangile muli Lesa”
18 For it is not he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
Ngamutwanga mobene, nsombi kulumbwa kulayandikinga ni kulumbwa ne Mwami.
