2 Corinthians 10
1 Moreover, I, Paul, myself, exhort you, through the meekness and considerateness of the Christ, —I who, to look upon, indeed, am lowly toward you, but, absent, am bold towards you; —
Zvino ini Pauro ndomene ndinokukumbirisai neunyoro, uye moyochena waKristu, wakaninipiswa pakati penyu kana ndiripo, asi kana ndisipo ndine ushingi kwamuri;
2 I entreat, however, that, when present, I may not be bold with the assurance wherewith I think to be daring against some who account of us as though, according to flesh, we were walking, —
ndinokumbirisawo, kuti kana ndiripo, ndirege kuva neushingi nekuzvipira uku kwandinoverengerwa kuti ndine ushingi hwekumirisana nevamwe vanotifungira sevanofamba panyama.
3 For, though, in flesh, we walk, not, according to flesh, do we war, —
Nokuti kunyange tichifamba panyama, hatirwi maererano nenyama;
4 For, the weapons of our warfare, are not fleshly, but mighty, by God, unto a pulling down of strongholds, —
nokuti zvombo zvehondo yedu hazvisi zvenyama, asi zvakasimba kubudikidza naMwari pakuputsa nhare,
5 When we pull down, calculations, and every height that uplifteth itself against the knowledge of God, and when we bring into captivity every thought unto the obedience of the Christ,
tichiwisa mirangariro nechese chakakwirira chinozvikwiridza chichipesana neruzivo rwaMwari, nekuisa muutapwa murangariro wese pakuteerera Kristu;
6 And when we hold ourselves, in readiness, to avenge all disobedience, as soon as your obedience shall be fulfilled!
takazvigadzira kutsiva kusateerera kwese, kana kuteerera kwenyu kwazadzisika.
7 The things that lie on the surface, ye are looking at: —if anyone hath come to trust in himself that he is, Christ’s, this, let him reckon, again, with himself—that, even as, he, is Christ’s, so, also are, we.
Munotarira zvinhu pamaonekero azvo ekunze here? Kana munhu achizvivimba kuti iye ndewaKristu, ngaazvirangarirezve, kuti iye sezvaari waKristu, saizvozvo nesu tiri vaKristu.
8 Yea, if, somewhat more abundantly, I should boast concerning our authority—which the Lord hath given for building up and not for pulling you down, I shall not be put to shame, —
Nokuti kana nezvinhu zvizhinjisa ndisazvirumbidzazve maererano nesimba redu, Ishe raakatipa pakuvaka, uye kwete rekuparadza kwedu, handinganyadziswi;
9 That I may not seem as though I would be terrifying you through means of my letters;
kuti ndirege kuonekwa sendinokutyityidzirai netsamba.
10 Because, The letters, it is true (saith one), are weighty and strong, but, the presence of the body, is weak, and, the discourse, contemptible; —
Nokuti vanoti: Tsamba dzake dzinorema uye dzine simba; asi kuvapo kwemuviri kune utera nekutaura kwake kunozvidzika.
11 This, let such a one reckon—that, what we are, in our word, through means of letters, being absent, such, also, being present, are we, in our deed.
Wakadaro ngaarangarire ichi, kuti sezvatakadaro pashoko kubudikidza netsamba kana tisipo, nesu takadaro pakuita kana tiripo.
12 For we dare not class or compare ourselves with some who do, themselves, commend; but, they, among themselves, measuring, themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without discernment!
Nokuti hatina ushingi hwekuzviverengera kana kuzvifananidza nevamwe vevanozvirumbidza; asi ivo vanozvienzanisa vega, nekuzvifananidza pachavo, havanzwisisi.
13 We, however, not as to the things without measure, will boast ourselves, but, according to the measure of the limit which God apportioned unto us, as a measure—to reach as far as even you!
Asi isu hatingazvikudzi zvinopfuura chipimo, asi zvinoenderana nechipimo chemuganhu Mwari waakatitemera, chipimo chekusvika nekwamuri.
14 For, not as though we were not reaching unto you, are we over-stretching ourselves, for, as far as even you, were we beforehand in the glad-message of the Christ:
Nokuti hatizvitandavadzi kupfuurikidza setisingasvikiri kwamuri, nokuti nekwamuriwo takasvika muevhangeri yaKristu;
15 Not, as to the things without measure, boasting ourselves in other men’s toils, but having, hope—your faith, growing—among you, to be enlarged, according to our limit for something beyond, —
tisingazvikudzi kupfuurikidza chipimo pamabasa evamwe; asi tine tariro, kuti kana rutendo rwenyu rwuchiwanzwa, isu tichakuriswa pakati penyu zvinoenderana nemuganhu wedu nekupfuurisa,
16 Unto the regions beyond you, to carry the glad-message: not, within another man’s limit, as to the things made ready, to boast ourselves.
kuparidza evhangeri pamatunhu ari mhiri kwenyu, kwete kuzvirumbidza pamuganhu weumwe pazvinhu zvakagadzirwa.
17 He that boasteth, however, in the Lord, let him boast;
Asi anozvirumbidza, ngaazvirumbidze muna Ishe.
18 For, not he that commendeth himself, he, is approved, but he whom, the Lord, doth commend.
Nokuti haasi anozvirumbidza uyo anogamuchirwa, asi Ishe waanorumbidza.
