2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I, Paul, myself appeal to you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am humble when with you face to face, but bold toward you when absent!
Nipele une che Paolo nansyene junguwoneka jwakulitimalika pinguŵa ni ŵanyamwe nambo natalichilaga ni ŵanyamwe nguŵa jwachikali mpela ŵane yakuti kusala. Ngunchondelela kwa chanasa ni umbone wakwe Kilisito.
2 I ask that when I am present I need not show boldness by daring to oppose those who think that we walk according to the flesh.
Ngunchondelela ngasimundendekasya meje jwakalipa pachinjiika kukwenu pakuŵa ikomboleka chinjiŵa jwa chikali kwa ŵandu ŵakutuganichisya kuti tukutama mpela ŵandu ŵa pachilambo chi.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.
Isyene tukutama pachilambo, nambo ngatukumenyana mpela ŵandu ŵa pachilambo yakuti pakumenyana.
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but are powerful in God for tearing down strongholds.
Pakuŵa, yakumenyanilana yetuwe ngaŵa ya pachilambo, nambo gali machili ga Akunnungu gagakukombola kugumula maboma gose ga ŵammagongo, tukusijonanga nganisyo syosye sya unami,
5 We tear down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
ni kugwisya nganisyo ni indu yose yaikulitutumula kuukanila umanyilisi wa Akunnungu, ni kusikamula nganisyo syose kuti sinjitichisye Kilisito.
6 We are ready to punish any disobedience, once your obedience is complete.
Mwaŵaga ŵa utindimisyo mu kwitichisya pelepo ni pachituŵe chile kunjamuka mundu jwalijose jwakukana kwitichisya.
7 Are you looking only at outward appearances? If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that just as he belongs to Christ, so we also belong to Christ.
Ŵanyamwe nkulolesya indu chapasa pe. Ana kwana mundu jwakuliganichisya kuti jwelejo ali jwa Kilisito? Ili yambone, nambo aganichisyeje iyoyo kuti noweji tuli ŵa Kilisito mpela jwelejo yatite kuŵa jwa Kilisito.
8 For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority (which the Lord has given us for building you up and not for tearing you down), I will not be ashamed.
Namose iŵaga mbundile kulilapa ligongo lya ukombole watupele Ambuje nganingola soni pakuŵa ukombole wo uli kwaligongo lya kunlimbisya mchikulupi ni ngaŵa kungwisya ŵanyamwe.
9 For I do not want to seem as though I am trying to frighten you by my letters.
Ngangusaka nganisye kuti ngusaka kunjogoya ni ikalata yangu.
10 For, “His letters,” they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech amounts to nothing.”
Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵane akuti, “Ikalata i che Paolo ili yachikali yaili ni maloŵe gakutopela, nambo nsyene jo pakuŵaga noweji akuŵa mundu jwakulepetala, ni pakukunguluka, maloŵe gao gakuŵa gangali chindu.”
11 The people who say such things should realize that what we say in our letters when we are absent, we will demonstrate by our actions when we are present.
Mundu jwakuŵecheta yeleyo aimanyilileje kuti, pangali utinda wa yaili mu ikalata tuli tutalichile ni yachituitendekanye twaŵaga pamo ni ŵanyamwe.
12 For we do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves with one another and compare themselves to one another, they do not show good sense.
Ngatukuliŵika mu mpingo umo namuno kulilandanya ni ŵele ŵakulilapa achinsyene. Ŵelewo ali ŵakuloŵela, akulipima malinga ni chipimo chao achinsyene ni kulilandanya achinsyene kwa achinsyene.
13 We, however, will not boast beyond certain limits, but will confine our boasting to the area of ministry that God has assigned to us, which reaches even as far as you.
Uweji ngatukulilapa mwakupelenganya, nambo kulilapa kwetu chikusigalile mu chipimo cha masengo gaatupele Akunnungu, masengo gatukugapanganya kukwenu nombe.
14 For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you; we were the first to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ.
Kulilapa kwetu nganitupelenganya, pakuŵa patwannyichisye Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito twaliji mmipika jetu.
15 We do not go beyond our limits by boasting in the labors of others. On the contrary, our hope is that, as your faith increases, our area of ministry among you will be greatly expanded,
Nipele ngatukulilapila masengo gapangenye ŵandu ŵane nambo tukulolela kuti, chikulupi chenu chichipunde konjecheka, masengo getu kukwenu chigapunde kwenela malinga ni mipika jatupele Akunnungu.
16 so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, without boasting about work already done in someone else's area of ministry.
Pelepo chitukombole kulalichila Ngani Jambone mu ilambo ine, kwapele chitulilapilile masengo gatupangenye twachinsyene ni ngaŵa masengo gapangenye ŵandu ŵane.
17 But, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
Nambo, mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu igakuti pakusala, “Jwakulilapa alilape kwa achila chapangenye Ambuje.”
18 For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
Pakuŵa jwakukundikwa ngaŵa mundu jwakulilapa nsyene nambo ajula jwakulapikwa ni Ambuje.
