2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ; I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you.
Ni Bulus da kaina, ina roƙonku albarkacin tawali’u da sanyin hali na Kiristi, ni da ake yi wa kirari “marar tsanani” a cikinku, amma “mai matsawa” sa’ad da nake rabe da ku!
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.
Ina roƙonku cewa sa’ad da na zo kada ku tilasta ni in matsa muku, gama na tabbata zan iya tsaya wa waɗanda suka ce abin da muke yi sha’anin duniya ne.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh;
Ko da yake muna cikin duniya, ba ma yaƙi kamar yadda duniya take yi.
4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty in God for the tearing down of strongholds,
Makaman da muke yaƙi da su, ba makamai na duniya ba ne. Sai dai na ikon Allah ne, masu rushe wuraren mafaka masu ƙarfi.
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 Christ;
Muna ka da masu gardama da kowane tunanin ɗaga kai da yake kafa kansa gāba da sanin Allah, muna kuma jan hankalin kowa ga bautar Kiristi.
6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience will be made full.
A shirye muke mu hori kowane rashin biyayya, sa’ad da biyayyarku ta cika.
7 Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ's, so also we are Christ's.
Kuna duban abubuwa bisa-bisa ne kawai. In wani ya ganin cewa shi na Kiristi ne, ya kamata yă sāke lura cewa kamar yadda yake na Kiristi, haka mu ma muke.
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,
Ko da zan yi gadara fiye da kima a game da izinin nan namu, wanda Ubangiji ya bayar saboda inganta ku, ba don rushe ku ba, ba ni da abin jin kunya a ciki.
9 that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
Ba na so yă zama kamar ina ƙoƙari in tsorata ku ne da wasiƙuna.
10 For, "His letters," they say, "are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised."
Gama waɗansu suna cewa, “Wasiƙunsa suna da nauyi da kuma ƙarfi, amma kuwa in ka gan shi, ba shi da wani kwarjini, maganarsa kuma ba kome ba ce.”
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.
Ya kamata irin waɗannan mutane su gane cewa abin da muke faɗa a cikin wasiƙunmu sa’ad da ba ma nan tare da ku, shi muke aikatawa sa’ad da muke nan.
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.
Ba za mu yi ƙarfin halin lissafta kanmu, ko mu kwatanta kanmu da waɗansu masu yabon kansu ba. Sa’ad da suke gwada kansu da kansu, da kuma kwatanta kansu da kansu, ba su da hikima.
13 But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
Amma mu kam, ba za mu yi taƙama mu zarce iyakarmu ba, sai dai za mu yi taƙama cikin filin da Allah ya ƙayyade mana, filin kuwa ya kai har zuwa wurinku.
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 Christ,
Ba mu wuce gona da iri a taƙamarmu ba, kamar yadda zai zama, da a ce ba mu zo wurinku ba, gama mun kai har wurinku da bisharar Kiristi.
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,
Fahariyarmu ba fiye da yadda ya kamata take ba, ba tă kuma shafi aikin waɗansu ba. Sai dai muna sa zuciya bangaskiyarku ta riƙa ƙaruwa, ta haka kuma fagen aikinmu a cikinku yă riƙa ƙaruwa ƙwarai da gaske.
16 so as to preach the Good News even to the regions beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
Saboda mu iya yin wa’azin bishara a yankunan da suke gaba da ku. Gama ba ma so mu yi taƙama game da aikin da aka riga aka yi a sashen wani.
17 But "he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."
Amma, “Duk mai yin taƙama, sai ya yi taƙama da Ubangiji.”
18 For it is not he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
Ai, ba mai yabon kansa ake amincewa da shi ba, sai dai wanda Ubangiji ya yaba wa.
