2 Corinthians 11
1 I could wish ye would bear with me as to some little foolishness, —Nay! do even bear with me!
Nahisi panga muvumiliane na nenga katika baadhi ya upumbavu. Lakini kwa kweli mwavumiliana na nenga.
2 For I am jealous over you with a jealousy, of God; for I myself betrothed you unto one husband, to present, a chaste virgin, unto the Christ, —
Kwa kuwa ni ywabile ni wivu kuhusu mwenga. Nibile na wivu wa Nnongo kwa ajili yinu, tangu natibaahidi mwenga ndoa ya nsengo yumo. Natibaahidi kubaleta mwenga kwa Kristo kati bikra safi.
3 But I fear lest, by any means, as, the serpent, completely deceived Eve, in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the singleness [and the chasteness] which are [due] unto the Christ.
Lakini nendayogopa panga kwa namna fulani, kati nng'ambo ywadanganya Eva kwa hila yake, malango yinu yaweza kuapotosha kutalu boka mu'ibada halisi na safi kwa Kristo.
4 For, if, indeed, he that cometh, is proclaiming, another Jesus, whom we have not proclaimed, or, a different Spirit, ye are receiving, which ye had not received, or a different glad-message, which ye have never welcomed, ye are, well, bearing.
Kwa mana kwa mfano panga mundu fulani aisa ni tangaza Yesu ywenge tofauti ni yolo twatibahubiria. Au kwa mfano panga mwapokya roho ywenge tofauti ni yolo ywampokile. Au kwa mfano panga mwapokya injili yenge tofauti ni yelo yamuipokile. Mwativumilia makowe haga vema yatosha!
5 For I reckon not to have come a whit behind the exceeding overmuch apostles;
Kwa kuwa nadhani panga nenga na nkati ya mwabile duni kwa habo bakemilwe mitume-bora.
6 And, even if uncultured in my discourse, certainly not in my knowledge, —but, in every way, having made [it] manifest, in all things, unto you.
Lakini hata mana nenga nifundishwa kwaa katika kutoa hotuba, nibile kwaa nyoo katika maarifa. Kwa kila namna na katika makowe gote tulipangite lee kujulikana kwinu.
7 Or, a sin, did I commit—abasing, myself, that, ye, might be exalted, —in that, free of charge, God’s glad-message, I announced unto you?
Je, mupangite sambi kwa kuinyenyekeza mwene ili mwenga muweze kuinuliwa? Kwa kuwa natihubiri kwa uhuru injili ya Nnongo kwinu.
8 Other assemblies, I despoiled, receiving supplies that I might minister, unto you;
Natinyang'anya makanisa yenge kwa pokya msaada boka kwabe ili panga niweza kubahudumia mwenga.
9 And, being present with you, and having come short, I was not burdensome to anyone, —for, my deficiency, the brethren, coming from Macedonia, helped to make up; —and, in everything, without burden unto you, I kept, myself—and will keep!
Muda panibile mwenga na nibile katika uhitaji, namlemea kwaa yeyote. Kwa kuwa mahitaji gango yatitoshelezwa ni alongo baisile boka Makedonia. Katika kila kilebe nijizuia mwene kutokuwa mzigo kwinu, na nalowa yendelya kupanga nyoo.
10 Truth of Christ is in me, that, this boasting, shall not be silenced unto me, in the regions of Achaia.
Kati kweli ya Kristo ibile nkati yango, uku kuisifu kwango, kwanyamazishwa kwaa katika sehemu za Akaya.
11 Wherefore? Because I love you not? God, knoweth!
Kwa mwanja namani? Kwa sababu napenda kwaa? Nnongo atangite kuwa naapenda.
12 But, what I am doing, I also will do, —that I may cut off the occasion of them who are wishing an occasion, that, wherein they are boasting themselves, they may be found even as also, we.
Lakini chelo chanikipangite, nalowa kukipanga kae. Nalowa kukipanga ili panga niweze kuipinga nafasi ya balo baatamaniya nafasi ya kuwa kati tubile katika chelo chelo chawaipunia.
13 For, such as these, are false apostles, deceitful workers, transfiguring themselves into apostles of Christ.
Kwa kuwa bandu balo ni mitume ba uongo na batendakazi abocho. Baikelebuya benge kati mitume ba Kristo.
14 And no marvel! for, Satan himself, doth transfigure himself into a messenger of light!
Nga yee yashangaza kwaa, kwa kuwa hata nchela hujigeuza mwene kati malaika ba bweya.
15 No great thing, therefore, if, his ministers also, are transfiguring themselves as ministers of righteousness!—whose end, shall be according to their works.
Yee yabile kwaa mshangao nkolo kati batumishi ba haki. Mwisho wabe ipangika kati matendo gabe kati gastahili.
16 Again, I say—let no one deem me to be, foolish; but, otherwise, at least, as foolish, give me welcome, that, I also, some little, may boast myself.
Nabaya kae: Bai na abile kwaa mundu yeyote ywawaza nenga na mpumbavu. Lakini kati mwapanga, munipoki nenga kati mpumbavu ili niweze kuisifu kichunu.
17 What I am saying, not according to the Lord, am I saying, but as in foolishness, —in this my boastful confidence!
Chelo chanikipanga kuhusu kwa kujiamini kwa kuipunia ahukumilwa kwaa na Ngwana, lakini nabaya kati mpumbavu.
18 Since, many, are boasting after the flesh, I also, will boast;
Kwa ye bandu baingi huipuniya kwa namna ya yega, nalowa ipunia kae.
19 For, gladly, do ye bear with the foolish, being [yourselves], discreet, —
Kwa mana mwatichukuliana kwa puraha na bapumbavu, mwenga mwabene mubile na busara!
20 For ye bear with it—if anyone enslaveth you, if any devoureth, if anyone taketh, if anyone lifteth himself up, if anyone, on the face, doth smite you!
Kwa mana mwatichukuliana na mundu mana akikutia atumwani, kati husababisha mgawanyiko kati yinu, kati akibatumia mwenga kwa faida yake, kati atijibeka nnani ya hewa, au kati atibakombwa kuminyo.
21 By way of disparagement, am I speaking, —as though, we, had been weak! whereas, in whatsoever anyone dareth, in foolishness I speak, I also, dare: —
Nalowa baya kwa oni yitu panga twenga tubile adhaifu muno kupanga nyoo. Na bado kati yeyote aipunia-nalongela kati mpumbavu-nenga naipuna kae.
22 Hebrews, are they? I also, Israelites, are they? I also, seed of Abraham, are they? I also,
Je, bembe ni Ayahudi? Na mwenga nga nyoo. Je, bembe ni Baisraeli? Na nenga nga nyoo.
23 Ministers of Christ, are they? As one deranged I am talking, I, above measure!—in toils, superabundantly, in prisons, superabundantly, in stripes, to excess, in deaths, oft, —
Je, bembe ni batumishi ba Kristo? Nalongela kati nabile kwa na malango gango.) Nenga na zaidi. Nibile hata katika kazi ngumu muno, mbali zaidi ya kuwa vifungoni, katika kkukombwa pitya ipimo, katika kuyeketya hatari yanyansima ya kiwo.
24 From Jews, five times, forty-save-one, have I received,
Boka kwa Ayahudi natipokya mara tano “mapigo arobaini kutoa limo.”
25 Thrice, have I been beaten with rods, once, have I been stoned, thrice, have I been shipwrecked, a day and night, in the deep, have I spent;
Mara tatu natikombwa kwa fimbo. Mara jimo nakombwile maliwe. Mara tatu natinusurika mu'ngalaba. Natitumya kilo na mutwekati katika bahari wazi.
26 In journeyings oft, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own race, in perils from Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the desert, in perils by the sea, in perils among false brethren,
Nibile katika safari za mara kwa mara, katika hatari za mito, katika hatari ya majambazi, katika hatari boka kwa bandu bamataifa, katika hatari ya mji, katika hatari ya lijangwa, katika hatari ya bahari, katika hatari iboka kwa alongo abocho.
27 in toil and hardship, in watchings, oft, in hunger and thirst, in fasting, oft, in cold and nakedness: —
Nibile katika kazi ngumu na katika maisha magumu, katika kilo kikolo cha gonja kwaa, katika njala na kiu, mara zanyansima katika kufunga, katika mbepo ni uchi.
28 Apart from the things without, my daily care, —my anxiety for all the assemblies; —
Kutalu na kila kilebe chenge, kubile na msukumo wa kila lisoba nnani yango na wasiwasi wango kwa ajili ya makanisa.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and, I, am not burning?
Nyai ywabile dhaifu, na nenga nibile dhaifu kwaa? Nyai ywasababisha benge tomboka mu'sambi, na nenga nitike kwaa ndani?
30 If, to boast, is needful, in the things that concern my weakness, will I boast.
Mana lazima nenga niipune, nalowa ipunia chelo chaibonekeya udhaifu wango.
31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus, knoweth—He who is blessed unto the ages—that I am not speaking falsely: (aiōn g165)
Nnongo na Tate ba Ngwana Yesu, ywembe ywabile atukuzwa milele, atangite panga nenga nilongela kwaa uboso. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus, the governor under Aretas the king, was guarding the city of Damascenes, to apprehend me, —
Kolyo Dameski, nkolo wa nkoa nnema wa mpwalume Areta abileakiulenda mji wa Dameski ili kunkamwa nenga.
33 And, through a window, was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
Lakini nibekilwe mu'kitondo, pitya pa'ridirisha katika ukuta, na natinusurika boka mu'maboko gake.
