2 Corinthians 10
1 But as for me Paul, I entreat you by the gentleness and self-forgetfulness of Christ--I who when among you have not an imposing personal presence, but when absent am fearlessly outspoken in dealing with you.
Nene na Paulo, nayhoni nikabhasii ki unyenyekevu ni upole was Kristu. Nene na mpole magono nikayela palongo p'hinu, ila niyele ni ujasili kwa muenga ni kayela patali ni muenga.
2 I beseech you not to compel me when present to make a bold display of the confidence with which I reckon I shall show my 'courage' against some who reckon that we are guided by worldly principles.
Nikabhas'oma muenga yakuwa, magono gha niya pamonga ni muenga, nilonda lepi kuya jasili ni kujiamini kwa nene na yhoni. Ila nifikilila kuya jasili kwa kubhap'henga bhala bha bhizani kuwa tiishi namna ya mbhele.
3 For, though we are still living in the world, it is no worldly warfare that we are waging.
Hata kutya kujobha tigenda kwajia ya mbhele, titobhana lepi Vita kwajia ya mbhele.
4 The weapons with which we fight are not human weapons, but are mighty for God in overthrowing strong fortresses.
Kwandabha silaha sa titumila kutobhana so sa kimbhele. Badala yaki sina nghofo saki k'yara ya kumang'ara ngome. Sibhosya kabisa mijadala ya kupotosya.
5 For we overthrow arrogant 'reckonings,' and every stronghold that towers high in defiance of the knowledge of God, and we carry off every thought as if into slavery--into subjection to Christ;
Kabhele, tiharibu kila kakiyele ni mamlaka kakikajiinula zidi ya maalifa gha K'yara. Tukaliketa mateka kila libhuaso kup'hetela utii kwa kristu.
6 while we hold ourselves in readiness to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as ever you as a Church have fully shown your obedience.
Na tikabha utayali wa kuazibu kila litendo lalibelili kuya ni utii, pala tu utii bhuinu pawiya kamili.
7 Is it outward appearances you look to? If any man is confident as regards himself that he specially belongs to Christ, let him consider again and reflect that just as he belongs to Christ, so also do we.
Mlangai khela kakiyele bhuasi palongolo pa yhomo. kutya yuoayola ya ishawishika kujo muene was Kristu, ajiko mbhosyai muene yumuene kujo ayele ni was Kristu, hivyo ndo kabhele ni tete katuyele.
8 If, however, I were to boast more loudly of our Apostolic authority, which the Lord has given us that we may build you up, not pull you down, I should have no reason to feel ashamed.
Kwandabha hata nikajifunai padusu kabhele kuhusu mamlaka ghitu, ghaghayele Bwana apisili kwajia ya yhoto kubhambhomba muenga na sio kubhamang'ara, Nilabhonahee agha.
9 Let it not seem as if I wanted to frighten you by my letters.
Nilonda lepi Elle libhonekanai nikabhatisya muenga kwajia ya nyalaka sya nene.
10 For they say "His letters are authoritative and forcible, but his personal presence is unimpressive, and as for eloquence, he has none."
Kwa ndabha baazi ya bhanu bhijobha nahee, “Nyalaka sya muene sikali na siyele ni nghofo, ila kup'hetela mbhele muene ni zaifu. Malobhigha muene ghilondehe kughapelekesya.”
11 Let such people take this into their reckoning, that whatever we are in word by our letters when absent, the same are we also in act when present.
Hebu bhanu bha namna eye myele bhuayi ya kuwa khela katijobha khela katijobha kutya walaka magono ghatayele kutali, ndo khela khela ni ghala ghatilota kuketa magono ghatiyele pala.
12 For we have not the 'courage' to rank ourselves among, or compare ourselves with, certain persons distinguished by their self-commendation. Yet they are not wise, measuring themselves, as they do, by one another and comparing themselves with one another.
Tilota hee patali munu kujikusania tayhoto au kujilenganisya tayhoto ni bhala bhabhijisifila bhakajip'hema bhabhene ni kila mmonga bhabhu, bhayelehe ni akili.
13 We, however, will not exceed due limits in our boasting, but will keep within the limits of the sphere which God has assigned to us as a limit, which reaches even to you.
Tete, hata kabhele, tulajifuna hee kup'hetela mipaka. Badala yaki, tulaketa naa tu mugati mwa mipaka ya k'yara yaatupelili tete, mipaka yayifika patali kutya wa yhomo wa uyele.
14 For there is no undue stretch of authority on our part, as though it did not extend to you. We pressed on even to Corinth, and were the first to proclaim to you the Good News of the Christ.
Kwandabha tabhazidishili hee tayhoto twabhafikilai muenga lola. Twayele bhakuanza kufika kwa patali kutya muenga kwajia ya kristu.
15 We do not exceed our due limits, and take credit for other men's labours; but we entertain the hope that, as your faith grows, we shall gain promotion among you--still keeping within our own sphere--promotion to a larger field of labour,
Tujifunili hee kup'hetela mipaka kuhusu mbhombho sa bhangi. Badala yaki, titumaini kujo imani yhinu kujo eneo la mbhombho lilapanulibhwa sana, ni bado mugati mwa mipaka sahihi.
16 and shall tell the Good News in the districts beyond you, not boasting in another man's sphere about work already done by him.
Titumaini kwa ele, yakuwa tubhwesya kuhubili injili hata mu mikoa zaidi ya yhomo. Tulajifuna lepi kup'hetela mbhombho yayifwanyibhwa mmaeneo ghangi.
17 But "whoever boasts, let his boast be in the Lord."
“Lakini yuoayola yaakajifunila, ajifunai kup'hetela Bwana.
18 For it is not the man that commends himself who is really approved, but he whom the Lord commends.
Kwandabha so yhola yaakajisibitisya yumuene. Yaibelili kuya, yhola ambaye Bwana ndo akamsibitisya.
