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.
Nambi ntwanga, paliya cikute kucanika mukutwanga sobwe, nomba lino ndayandanga kwamba sha bimboni mboni mbyalanjubululwila Mwami.
2 I know a man in Messiah, 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.
Ndanukungaponga umo muntu walamantwa kwilu ku makumbi abutatu byaka likumi ne bina bilapitipo. Nomba nkandicishi cena na cintu cilico calenshika kacili mumubili, nambi walikuba mumushimu, Lesa mwine eucishi.
3 I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I do not know; God knows),
Kayi ndabweshengaponga kwamba ndeti muntuyu walaya mu Paladaiso, nomba kayi nkandicishi cena mpani calikubowa cimboni mboni, Lesa mwine eucishi.
4 how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a human to utter.
Kayi kopeloko ku Paladaiso walanyumfwa bintu byela kubula kunyumfwika maswi, bintu byela kubula kwambwa ne mulaka wamuntu.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
Neco uyu muntu nampe kutwanga, nteti ntwange pacakame sobwe, nsombi pa kutyompwa kwamubili wakame.
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 ndayandanga kutwanga nteko kwambeti ndapusu sobwe, pakwinga ndambanga cakubinga. Nomba nteti ntwange pakwinga nkandayandangeti naumbi ambe bintu bingi palinjame mbyalabono kandibinsa kayi ne kunyumfwa mbyendambanga.
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 Satan to pound away at me, to keep me from exalting myself.
Pacino cindi ndayandanga kwamba sha bintu biyosha mbyendalabona, pakwinga ndalapewa cintu cilyeti munga ceshi kubaba mumubili, ico calikubeti mutumwa wa Satana walatumwa kulinjame kwisa kunkolwesha kwambeti ndicileke kutwanga.
8 Concerning this thing, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
Ndalapaila mankanda atatu kumusenga Lesa kwambeti acifunyemo.
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 Messiah may rest on me.
Nomba walankumbuleti, “Ulayandikinga nkumbo shakame, pakwinga ngofu shakame nishinene pacindi ncolatyompwa.” Neco ndakondwa nekutangala cebo ca kutyompwa kwakame kwambeti nyumfwe ngofu sha Klistu shilantabilishinga.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Messiah's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
Ndatintila kukutyompwa ne kumatuka ne mubuyumu yumu ne kupenshewa kayi ne makatasho cebo ca Klistu. Pakwinga nkute kunyumfwa ngofu pacindi ncendanyumfunga kutyompwa.
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 emissaries, though I am nothing.
Ndenshingeti muntu wapusa, nsombi njamwe mulampushikingeco. Njamwe mwela kulesha kushomeka kulinjame, kwambeti nambi paliya ncembele nkandipo panshi cikamba kulyabo “batumwa benu bapelu.”
12 Truly the signs of an emissary were worked among you in all patience, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
Bikankamanisho ne bingashilo byangofu byalikulesheti nde mutumwa ndalikubinsa pakati penu mwamoyo nteka.
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.
Nicani ncendalenshila mibungano naimbi ico ncendalabula kumwinshila? Kwamboweti muliya kunyamfwilisha mali? Nanico kamundekelelako!
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.
Lino ubu nibulwendo bwacitatu mbondalibambilinga kumufwakashila, nomba nteti nkasengepo ciliconse kulinjamwe sobwe. Pakwinga ndayandanga njamwe ntewo mali enu sobwe. Ee, bana nkabela kulangawila bintu Ishabo, nsombi Ishabo ewela kulangawila bintu banabendi.
15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
Ngankondwa kubenga bilibyonse byenkute kubikapo ne njame kwambeti ndimunyamfweni. Na ame ndimusuna cikamba, sena amwe ngamunsuna pang'ana.
16 But be it so, I did not myself burden you. But, being crafty, I caught you with deception.
Kayi ngamusuminisheti ndiya kubapo mutolo kulinjamwe sobwe. Nomba naumbi ngawambeti ndalikumufukanya bongo ne kumwikata nkola ya bwepeshi.
17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of them whom I have sent to you?
Munshila ilyeconi? Sena basa bantu mbondalikutuma kulinjamwe, pali naumbi walamubepapo?
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?
Ndalamusenga Tito kwambeti ese akamufwakashile pamo ne muklistu naumbi. Neye Tito uliya kumubepapo sobwe, Sena twense nkatwali kwinsa bintu mumushimu umo nekukonkela nshila imo imo?
19 Have you been thinking all this time that we have been defending ourselves before you? In the sight of God we speak in Messiah; and all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
Mpani mulayeyengeti kwangowa kulitabilisha tobene cindi conseci Sobwe! Tulambanga mbuli Klistu ncela kuyandeti twambe pamenso pa Lesa. Mobanse bame, ciliconse ncetulenshinga nicakumunyamfwilisha.
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;
Nkute buyowa pakwinga ndayeyengeti ndakesa ninkacaneti mwapusanako nencondalikuyandeti mube, nenjamwe nimukacaneti ndapusana ne ncemulayandangeti mbe. Ndayeyengeti ninkacanowa kamulondola nekwinshilana bufuba, kupya myoyo, kuliyanda, butungushi, kutukanishana kulisumpula nekubula lumuno mu bwikalo bwenu.
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.
Nkute buyowa cebo cakwambeti cindi nceti nkayande kwisa Lesa nakambweshe panshi pakati penu. Pakwinga mucipitilisha kwinsa bintu byabula kululama, mbyemwabula kuleka byeti bikandilishe pabantu bangi balepisha batana baleka lunkumbwa, bupombo kayi nebufule ne cendo cabo caipa.
