2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish you could have borne with a little foolish boasting on my part. Nay, do bear with me.
Ikaliji mbaya nkaambililile kanondi mu kuloŵela kwangu, ngummenda, mumbililile kanondi.
2 I am jealous over you with God's own jealousy. For I have betrothed you to Christ to present you to Him like a faithful bride to her one husband.
Ngunkolela wiu mpela ila Akunnungu yakuti kunkolela wiu, pakuŵa ŵanyamwe nli mpela mwalimwalipe junantomele kwaligongo lya jwannume jumo pe, jwele jwannume jo ali Kilisito.
3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent in his craftiness deceived Eve, so your minds may be led astray from their single-heartedness and their fidelity to Christ.
Nambo ngogopa kuti, mpela ila lijoka ilyatite pakunlambusya che Hawa kwa ukalamuche wakwe, iyoyopeyo nganisyo syenu sikalyungaswa mpaka kuleka kulityosya kwenu kwa ntima wambone kwa Kilisito.
4 If indeed some visitor is proclaiming among you another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or if you are receiving a Spirit different from the One you have already received or a Good News different from that which you have already welcomed, your toleration is admirable!
Pakuŵa aikaga mundu jwalijose kukunlalichila Che Yesu jwine jwanganitunlalichila uwe, ngunsimonga pakuŵa ŵanyamwe nkupililila. Ni ŵanyamwe nkumpochela mbumu jwine jwangaŵa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ajula jumwampochele. Ni nkujipochela ngani jambone jiine ni ngaŵa Ngani Jambone jimwalalichilwe jila!
5 Why, I reckon myself in no respect inferior to those superlatively great Apostles.
Nganguganisya kuti chiisoŵile chindu chalinacho ŵakuliŵilanga, “Achinduna ŵakulu.”
6 And if in the matter of speech I am no orator, yet in knowledge I am not deficient. Nay, we have in every way made that fully evident to you.
Nachiŵamuno nganingola umanyilisi wakuŵecheta yambone nambo ngwete umanyilisi. Noweji tulosisye yelei paujo penu papali pose ni katema kose.
7 Is it a sin that I abased myself in order for you to be exalted, in that I proclaimed God's Good News to you without fee or reward?
Uli, natesile sambi panalitulwisye nansyene ni kunkusya ŵanyamwe, pananlalichile Ngani Jambone ja Akunnungu pangali malipilo?
8 Other Churches I robbed, receiving pay from them in order to do you service.
Panatumikaga pasikati jenu, napochele ukamusi kutyochela kwa mipingo jine ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Ni kwa yele naliji mpela ngwapokola ŵelewo kuti ngombole kuntumichila ŵanyamwe.
9 And when I was with you and my resources failed, there was no one to whom I became a burden--for the brethren when they came from Macedonia fully supplied my wants--and I kept myself from being in the least a burden to you, and will do so still.
Panaliji ni ŵanyamwe, nganinanlagasya jwalijose panasakaga chindu chachili chose. Pakuŵa achinjetu ŵaŵaumile ku Makedonia ŵambelechele yose iyasoŵaga. Nganisaka kummenda ŵanyamwe chachili chose ni napundile kutenda yeleyo.
10 Christ knows that it is true when I say that I will not be stopped from boasting of this anywhere in Greece.
Mpela ila usyene wa Kilisito yautite kuŵa nkati mwangu, ngapagwa mundu jwali jose mu chilambo chose cha ku Akaya juchakombole kusiŵila une kulilapila chelecho.
11 And why? Because I do not love you? God knows that I do.
Kwa chichi nguŵecheta yele? Ana ligongo ngangunnonyela ŵanyamwe? Ngwamba! Akunnungu akuimanyilila kuti ngunnonyela.
12 But I will persist in the same line of conduct in order to cut the ground from under the feet of those who desire an opportunity of getting themselves recognized as being on a level with us in the matters about which they boast.
Nambo indu inguipanganya chimbunde kuipanganya, kuti naajime lipesa aŵala ŵakuliŵilanga “Achinduna ŵakulu,” aŵala ŵakusosa lipesa lya kulilapa kuti akupanganya masengo mpela uwe.
13 For men of this stamp are sham apostles, dishonest workmen, assuming the garb of Apostles of Christ.
Ŵandu ŵanti yeleyo ali achinduna ŵa unami, akupanganya masengo gao kwakulambusya achilitendaga kuti ali achinduna ŵa Kilisito.
14 And no wonder. Satan, their master, can disguise himself as an angel of light.
Ngaŵa chindu chakusimonga, pakuŵa namose Shetani nsyene akukombola kulitenda kuti, ali katumetume jwa kwinani jwa lilanguka.
15 It is therefore no great thing for his servants also to disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be in accordance with their actions.
Kwapele ngaŵa chindu cha kuchisimonga, yaŵaga nombewo achikatumetume ŵa Shetani akulitenda ali ŵakutumichila ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu. Nambo mbesi jao chalamulikwe malinga ni ipanganyo yao.
16 To return to what I was saying. Let no one suppose that I am foolish. Or if you must, at any rate make allowance for me as being foolish, in order that I, as well as they, may boast a little.
Nguti sooni, mundu jwalijose ngasang'anichisya jwakuloŵela une, nambo mwang'anichisyaga yeleyo, mumalanjile mpela jwakuloŵela, kuti none nalilape kanandi.
17 What I am now saying, I do not say by the Lord's command, but as a fool in his folly might, in this reckless boasting.
Chinguŵecheta sambano ngaŵa chanajisye Ambuje mechete, nambo yankati chindu chakulilapa chi, uneji nguŵecheta mpela jwakuloŵela.
18 Since many boast for merely human reasons, I too will boast.
Ŵandu ŵajinji akulilapa mpela ŵandu ŵa pachilambo yakuti pakulilapa. Kwaligongo lyo, noneji chinalilape iyoyo peyo.
19 Wise as you yourselves are, you find pleasure in tolerating fools.
Ŵanyamwe nkuliganichisya kuti nkwete lunda, kwayele nkwapililila ŵakuloŵela nkusengwa.
20 For you tolerate it, if any one enslaves you, lives at your expense, makes off with your property, gives himself airs, or strikes you on the face.
Pakuŵa nkumpililila mundu jwakuntenda ŵanyamwe achikapolo, ni jwakunjiŵila ipanje yenu ni jwakunjigala pangankusaka, achinnyelusyaga ni kumputa majanda ku meeso.
21 I use the language of self-disparagement, as though I were admitting our own feebleness. Yet for whatever reason any one is 'courageous' --I speak in mere folly--I also am courageous.
Ngwete soni pangwitichisya kuti twaliji ŵakulepetala mkupanganya yeleyo. Iŵeje yanti yose, iŵaga kwana mundu jwalijose akukombola kulilapila chindu, none jwakwe ngulinga kulilapa, sambano nguŵecheta mpela jwakuloŵela.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
Ana ŵelewo ali Ŵaebulania? None jwakwe ndili Mueblania. Ana ŵelewo ali Ŵaisilaeli? None jwakwe ndili mu Isilaeli. Ana ŵelewo ali ŵa lukosyo lu che Iblahimu? None jwakwe ndili jwa lukosyo lu che Iblahimu.
23 Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as if I were out of my mind.) Much more am I His servant; serving Him more thoroughly than they by my labours, and more thoroughly also by my imprisonments, by excessively cruel floggings, and with risk of life many a time.
Ana ali ŵakutumichila ŵa Kilisito? Une ndili jwakwapunda ŵelewo, none nguŵecheta mpela jwampugwe kuti uneji ndili jwakutumichila jwambone. Une nagapangenye masengo gakulimba kwapunda ŵelewo ni nataŵikwe kwapunda ŵelewo ni naputikwe kwapunda ŵelewo ni kakajinji naŵandichile kuwa kwapunda ŵelewo.
24 From the Jews I five times have received forty lashes all but one.
Kasano Ŵayahudi ŵambutile iboko selasini ni tisa.
25 Three times I have been beaten with Roman rods, once I have been stoned, three times I have been shipwrecked, once for full four and twenty hours I was floating on the open sea.
Katatu Ŵaloma ŵambutile iboko ni kamo naponyekwe maganga. Ni katatu jangasichile ngalaŵa jajikulungwa mu bahali ni nalonjele mu bahali chilo ni musi.
26 I have served Him by frequent travelling, amid dangers in crossing rivers, dangers from robbers; dangers from my own countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles; dangers in the city, dangers in the Desert, dangers by sea, dangers from spies in our midst;
Najesile kakajinji, naliji mchakogoya chakukumbwa ni meesi, naliji mchakogoya ni ŵachiswamba ni naliji mchakogoya ni Ŵayahudi achinjangu ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Naliji mchakogoya mu mmisi ni naliji mchakogoya mwipululu ni naliji mchakogoya mu bahali ni naliji mchakogoya kwa achambusanga ŵangu ŵa unami.
27 with labour and toil, with many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, in frequent fastings, in cold, and with insufficient clothing.
Ndesile masengo gakulimba ni kulaga ni njesisye kakajinji. Kakajinji jangwete sala ni njota ni kakajinji nganingola chakulya ni kakajinji naliji mu mbepo ni nganingola nguo.
28 And besides other things, which I pass over, there is that which presses on me daily--my anxiety for all the Churches.
Kupunda yeleyo yose, lyuŵa ni lyuŵa ngujiganisya mipingo jose ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led astray into sin, and I am not aflame with indignation?
Iŵaga mundu jwalijose ali jwa kulepetala ni une nguŵa jwakulepetala iyoyo, iŵaga mundu akwatendekasya ŵandu atende sambi une ikumbeteka muntima.
30 If boast I must, it shall be of things which display my weakness.
Nalilapaga, chinalilape kwa indu yaikulosya kulepetala kwangu.
31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--He who is blessed throughout the Ages--knows that I am speaking the truth. (aiōn g165)
Akunnungu, Atati ŵa Ambuje Che Yesu akuswe moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Ŵelewo akuimanyilila kuti ngangulambusya. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas kept guards at the gates of the city in order to apprehend me,
Katema kanaliji ku Damesiki, nkamusi jwa mwenye che Aleta ŵaŵisile ŵakulindilila mminango ja musi wa ku Damesiki kuti angamule.
33 but through an opening in the wall I was let down in a basket, and so escaped his hands.
Nambo ŵamisile mu chitundu ni kundulusya kwakupitila palidilisha lyalili pa lipupa lya musi. Noneji nakombwele kwapeleta mmakono mwao.
