2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
Unene ne Paulo, unene kumupepeelya kuupolo nuang'wa Kilisto. Unene nemupolo itungo nenhole ntongeela anyu, kuite nkete ugimya kitalanyu itungo nenkole kuli nunye.
2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, with which I think to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
Kumulompa unye kena, itungu nenkole palung'wi nunye, shangakutula nuugimya itungo nekuagilya awa neasegile kena kikie kemuile.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh:
Kunsoko ataeze anga kuugenda kimuili, shanga kikua embita kimuili.
4 ( For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; )
Kunsoko iyege nekutumela kikuila singa yamuili, kuleka ite ikete ngulu ung'wi Tunda kubipya ukulu. Yukuheja lukulu udui nuakubepya.
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Inge kuubepya kehi nekikete uuhumi nekikulya ntongeela ang'wi Tunda. Kuuletenda mateka kukela uhumi nukumugomba Ukilisto.
6 And having in a readiness to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Hange kuulija ugombinuakulamula kela intendo nimbe, nkua udu ugombi wanyu nuukutula wakonda.
7 Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trusteth to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.
Goza eki nekikole ng'walye ntongeela anyu ang'wi wili ukupepeleka kena nuanso wang'wa Kilisto, nuikembushe nuanso ung'wenso kena anga uu udu nuile wang'wa Kilisto, ite uu nusese kile gwa.
8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
Kunsoko atanitogole inino udu kukeela uhumi witu, nu Mukulu aupumilye kunsoko ilu kumuzenga unyenye singa kumubipya, singa kuona imenyala.
9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
Singa ndoilwe ele ligele kena kumutumbaunye kumabada ane.
10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
Kuite antu ang'wi elunga, “Ibada yakwe itaki hange ikete ngulu, kuite nuanso munegetu ekumuili Inkani yakwe singa inonee kutegeligwa.”
11 Let such a person think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
Embu iantu anga awa nealengile kena lehi nekutambula kibada itungo nekukole kuli, inge anga uu ite nekika tende itungo nekukole pang'wanso.
12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
Shakinzu nkuli du anga kilingeile usese ang'wi kigemela usese nawa neikulya ienso. Kuite neigemeelya ienso kukela ung'wi wao, agila anga mahala.
13 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even to you.
Usese, ata uu, singa kuitogola kukeela membi. Kuteka ite, kutenda uu udu mumembi izi ni Tunda ukupimie usese, membi niigeile kuli anga nianyu niele.
14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not to you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
Kunsoko usese shanga aekiongeeye naekumizee unyenye. Ae kiang'wendyo kupika kuukuli anga nuanyu kunsoko ang'wa Kilisto.
15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
Shanga kiloiye kukeela membi kumilemo aangiza. Kuleke ite, kuhuie uhueli wanyu uukuli wakwe kena ikianza kitu nehamelemu kekugalempigwa lukulu hange keli mumimbi lukulu.
16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.
Kuhuie kuile, nsoko kena kuhume kutanantya ulukani ata mumekoa kukila nanyu. Shanga kuutogola kukeila milimo nekitung'wa muianza nungeza.
17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
“Kuite wehi nuitogole, nuitogola Mumukulu.”
18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
Kundogoilyo singa uwo nuigeela ung'wenso ukigela. Inge uyu nu Mukulu wimigelya.
