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 towards you:
Ngai Polo oyo namonani lokola moto na bolembu na miso na bino, kasi lokola moto ya makambo makasi tango nazalaka mosika, nazali kosenga na bino, na boboto mpe na bolingo ya Klisto:
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.
Nabondeli bino, tango nakoya epai na bino, bopesa ngai nzela te ya kosalela makambo makasi oyo nazali kokanisa kolakisa epai ya bato oyo bakanisaka ete biso totambolaka na mosuni.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh:
Pamba te atako ezali penza ya solo ete tozali bato, mpe tozali kobika bomoi na biso kati na nzoto, kasi tobundaka te kolanda nzoto.
4 (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; )
Bibundeli oyo tobundaka na yango ezali ya bonzoto te, kasi ezali bibundeli ya nguya kati na Nzambe mpo na kokweyisa bandako batonga makasi. Solo, tobukaka makanisi ya mabe,
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;
tokweyisaka makanisi ya lokuta mpe nguya nyonso oyo etelemelaka boyebi ya Nzambe; tolongaka makanisi nyonso ya bomoto mpe tosalaka ete yango etosa Klisto.
6 And having in a readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Lisusu, tomilengeli mpo na kopesa bozangi botosi nyonso etumbu, tango kaka botosi na bino ekokoka.
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.
Botala penza makambo ndenge ezaleli. Soki ezali na moto oyo andimisami solo ete azali ya Klisto, ayeba mpe ete soki ye azali ya Klisto, biso mpe tozali ya Klisto lokola ye.
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:
Bongo, ata namikumisaka koleka mpo na bokonzi oyo Nkolo apesa biso, mpo na kolendisa kondima na bino kasi mpo na kobebisa yango te, nakoyokela yango soni ata moke te
9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
mpo ete namonana te lokola nde nazali kobangisa bino na nzela ya mikanda na ngai.
10 For [his] letters (say they) [are] weighty and powerful; but [his] bodily presence [is] weak, and [his] speech contemptible.
Pamba te bato mosusu balobaka: « Mikanda na ye ezalaka makasi mpe ebangisaka; kasi soki ye moko azali elongo na biso, azalaka na ye moto ya bolembu mpe maloba na ye ezalaka tina te. »
11 Let such one 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.
Boye tika ete moto oyo akanisaka bongo asimba likambo oyo: ndenge tolobaka kati na mikanda na biso tango tozalaka mosika na bino, ndenge wana mpe tokosala tango tokozala epai na bino.
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.
Toboyi komikokanisa to komekana na bato mosusu oyo bamikumisaka bango moko, tango balukaka komikokanisa mpe komekana bango na bango. Solo, bazangi mayele!
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.
Kasi biso, tokomikumisa te koleka ndelo; tokomikumisa kaka kati na bandelo ya mosala oyo Nzambe apesa biso, oyo mpe esali ete tokoma kino epai na bino.
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:
Solo, toleki bandelo na biso te lokola nde tokomaki te kino epai na bino, pamba te tokomaki penza kino epai na bino mpo na komemela bino Sango Malamu ya Klisto.
15 Not boasting of things without [our] measure, [that is], of other men's labors; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you, according to our rule abundantly,
Tomikumisaka te mpo na mosala ya bato mosusu; nzokande, tozali na elikya ete, wana kondima na bino ezali kokola, mosala na biso mpe ezali kokoba koya monene kati na bino kolanda bandelo ya mosala, oyo Nzambe apesa biso.
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.
Boye, tokoteya Sango Malamu kati na bituka oyo ezali mosika na bino. Pamba te toboyi na biso komikumisa na tina na mosala oyo bato mosusu basali kati na elanga na bango ya mosala.
17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Kasi tika ete moto oyo alingi komikumisa amikumisa kati na Nkolo!
18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
Pamba te moto oyo bandimaka, ezali te oyo amilobelaka ye moko, kasi ezali nde oyo Nkolo atatolaka bosolo na tina na ye.
