2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish you were bearing with me little (a *no*) (*k*) (of foolishness; *N(k)O*) but indeed you do endure me.
Laiti mngenivumilia kidogo katika upumbavu wangu! Naam, nivumilieni kidogo.
2 I am jealous as to for you of God with [the] jealousy; I have betrothed for you to one husband a virgin pure to present to Christ,
Ninawaonea wivu, wivu wa Kimungu, kwa kuwa mimi niliwaposea mume mmoja, ili niwalete kwa Kristo kama mabikira safi.
3 I am afraid however lest perhaps as the serpent deceived Eve in the craftiness of him, (thus *k*) may be corrupted the minds of you from the simplicity (and the purity *NO*) in Christ.
Lakini nina hofu kuwa, kama vile Eva alivyodanganywa kwa ujanja wa yule nyoka, mawazo yenu yasije yakapotoshwa, mkauacha unyofu na usafi wa upendo wenu kwa Kristo.
4 If indeed for the [one] coming another Jesus proclaims whom not we did proclaim, or a spirit different you receive which not you did receive, or glad tidings different which not you did accept, well (you are enduring [it]. *N(k)(o)*)
Kwa sababu kama mtu akija na kuwahubiria Yesu mwingine ambaye si yule tuliyemhubiri, au kama mkipokea roho mwingine ambaye si yule mliyempokea, au Injili tofauti na ile mliyoikubali, ninyi mnaitii kwa urahisi.
5 I reckon for in nothing to have been inferior to those most eminent most eminent apostles.
Lakini sidhani ya kuwa mimi ni dhalili sana kuliko hao “mitume wakuu.”
6 If however even unpolished in speech [I am], yet not in knowledge, but in every [way] (were manifested *N(k)O*) in all things to you.
Inawezekana mimi nikawa si mnenaji hodari, lakini ni hodari katika elimu. Jambo hili tumelifanya liwe dhahiri kwenu kwa njia zote.
7 Or a sin did I commit myself humbling so that you yourselves may be exalted, because freely the of God gospel I evangelised to you?
Je, nilitenda dhambi kwa kujishusha ili kuwainua ninyi kwa kuwahubiria Injili ya Mungu pasipo malipo?
8 Other churches I robbed having received support for the toward you service,
Niliyanyangʼanya makanisa mengine kwa kupokea misaada kutoka kwao ili niweze kuwahudumia ninyi.
9 And being present with you and having been in need not I did burden no [one]; for the need of mine completely filled up the brothers having come from Macedonia, and in everything unburdensome myself to you I kept and will keep.
Nami nilipokuwa pamoja nanyi, nikipungukiwa na chochote, sikuwa mzigo kwa mtu yeyote, kwa maana ndugu waliotoka Makedonia walinipatia mahitaji yangu. Kwa hiyo nilijizuia kuwa mzigo kwenu kwa njia yoyote, nami nitaendelea kujizuia.
10 Is [the] truth of Christ in me myself that boasting this not (will be stopped *N(k)O*) of mine in the regions of Achaia.
Kwa hakika kama vile kweli ya Kristo ilivyo ndani yangu, hakuna mtu yeyote katika Akaya nzima atakayenizuia kujivunia jambo hili.
11 Because of why? Because surely I do love you? God knows [I do]!
Kwa nini? Je, ni kwa sababu siwapendi? Mungu anajua ya kuwa nawapenda!
12 What however I do, also I will do, so that I may cut off the opportunity of those desiring an opportunity that in what they are boasting, they may be found even as also we ourselves.
Nami nitaendelea kufanya lile ninalofanya sasa ili nisiwape nafasi wale ambao wanatafuta nafasi ya kuhesabiwa kuwa sawa na sisi katika mambo wanayojisifia.
13 For such [are] false apostles, workers deceitful, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ;
Watu kama hao ni mitume wa uongo, ni wafanyakazi wadanganyifu, wanaojigeuza waonekane kama mitume wa Kristo.
14 And no (wonder; *N(k)O*) himself for Satan masquerades as an angel of light;
Wala hii si ajabu, kwa kuwa hata Shetani mwenyewe hujigeuza aonekane kama malaika wa nuru.
15 [It is] not surprising therefore if even the servants of him masquerade as servants of righteousness whose end will be according to the deeds of them.
Kwa hiyo basi si ajabu, kama watumishi wa Shetani nao hujigeuza ili waonekane kama watumishi wa haki. Mwisho wao utakuwa sawa na matendo yao yanavyostahili.
16 Again I say, no one me may think a fool to be; lest then except indeed even even as a fool do receive me, that I myself also I myself also little a may boast.
Nasema tena, mtu yeyote asidhani kwamba mimi ni mjinga. Lakini hata kama mkinidhania hivyo, basi nipokeeni kama mjinga ili nipate kujisifu kidogo.
17 What I am saying, not according to [the] Lord am I saying but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting.
Ninayosema kuhusiana na huku kujisifu kwa kujiamini, sisemi kama vile ambavyo Bwana angesema, bali kama mjinga.
18 Since many boast according to (the *ko*) flesh, I myself also I myself also will boast.
Kwa kuwa wengi wanajisifu kama vile ulimwengu ufanyavyo, mimi nami nitajisifu.
19 Gladly for you bear with fools, wise being!
Ninyi mwachukuliana na wajinga kwa sababu mna hekima sana!
20 You bear [it] for if anyone you enslaves, if anyone devours [you], if anyone takes [from you], if anyone exalts himself, if anyone in [the] face you strikes.
Kweli ni kwamba mnachukuliana na mtu akiwatia utumwani au akiwatumia kwa ajili ya kupata faida au akiwanyangʼanya au akijitukuza mwenyewe au akiwadanganya.
21 As to dishonor I speak, as that we ourselves (have been weak! *N(k)O*) In whatever however maybe anyone may be daring — in foolishness I speak — am daring I myself also. I myself also.
Kwa aibu inanipasa niseme kwamba sisi tulikuwa dhaifu sana kwa jambo hilo! Lakini chochote ambacho mtu mwingine yeyote angethubutu kujisifia, nanena kama mjinga, nami nathubutu kujisifu juu ya hilo.
22 Hebrews are they? I myself also; I myself also; Israelites are they? I myself also; I myself also; Descendants of Abraham are they? I myself also; I myself also;
Je, wao ni Waebrania? Mimi pia ni Mwebrania. Je, wao ni Waisraeli? Mimi pia ni Mwisraeli. Je, wao ni wazao wa Abrahamu? Mimi pia ni mzao wa Abrahamu.
23 Servants of Christ are they? As being beside myself I speak; above [measure] I myself[am]. in labors more abundantly in imprisonments more abundantly, in beatings above measure, in deaths often.
Je, wao ni watumishi wa Kristo? (Nanena kiwazimu.) Mimi ni zaidi yao. Nimefanya kazi kwa bidii kuwaliko wao, nimefungwa gerezani mara kwa mara, nimechapwa mijeledi sana, na nimekabiliwa na mauti mara nyingi.
24 From [the] Jews five times forty [lashes] minus one I received,
Mara tano nimechapwa na Wayahudi viboko arobaini kasoro kimoja.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day in the deep [sea] I have passed;
Mara tatu nilichapwa kwa fimbo, mara moja nilipigwa kwa mawe, mara tatu nimevunjikiwa na meli, nimekaa kilindini usiku kucha na mchana kutwa,
26 in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from [my own] race, in perils from [the] Gentiles, in perils in [the] city, in perils in [the] wilderness, in perils on [the] sea, in perils among false brothers,
katika safari za mara kwa mara. Nimekabiliwa na hatari za kwenye mito, hatari za wanyangʼanyi, hatari kutoka kwa watu wangu mwenyewe, hatari kutoka kwa watu wa Mataifa; hatari mijini, hatari nyikani, hatari baharini; na hatari kutoka kwa ndugu wa uongo.
27 (in *k*) labor and toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness;
Nimekuwa katika kazi ngumu na taabu, katika kukesha mara nyingi; ninajua kukaa njaa na kuona kiu; nimefunga kula chakula mara nyingi; nimehisi baridi na kuwa uchi.
28 Besides the [things] external the (stoppage on me *N(k)O*) on every day [is my] care for all the churches.
Zaidi ya hayo yote, nakabiliwa na mzigo wa wajibu wangu kwa makanisa yote.
29 Who is weak, and not I am weak? Who is led into sin, and surely I myself do burn inwardly?
Je, ni nani aliye mdhaifu, nami nisijisikie mdhaifu? Je, nani aliyekwazwa, nami nisiudhike?
30 If to boast it behooves [me], [in] the [things] of the weakness of mine I will boast.
Kama ni lazima nijisifu, basi nitajisifia yale mambo yanayoonyesha udhaifu wangu.
31 The God and Father of the Lord (of us *k*) Jesus (Christ *K*) knows, who is being blessed to the ages, that not I am lying. (aiōn g165)
Mungu na Baba wa Bwana Yesu, yeye ambaye anahimidiwa milele, anajua ya kuwa mimi sisemi uongo. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king was guarding the city of the Damascenes to seize me (wishing *KO*)
Huko Dameski, mtawala aliyekuwa chini ya Mfalme Areta aliulinda mji wa Dameski ili kunikamata.
33 But through a window in a basket I was let down through the wall and I escaped the hands of him.
Lakini nilishushwa kwa kapu kubwa kupitia katika dirisha ukutani, nikatoroka kutoka mikononi mwake.
