2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish you could have borne with a little foolish boasting on my part. Nay, do bear with me.
Ngankondwa namundekelelako nambi ndemuluya, ndashometi mulandekelele kendi!
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.
Nkute bufuba pali njamwe mufuba bwabulesa, amwe mulyeti mutukashi mulindu ngondatwalanga ku mulume umo Klistu.
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.
Nomba nkute buyowa mpani nenjamwe manjeyaulwa enu abola cakwinseti ngamuleka kuyeya sha Klistu, ngamuyungaulwa mbuli Eva ncalayungaulwa nebucenjeshi bwanjoka.
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!
Pakwinga pacino cindi na uliyense lesanga uko kakambauka sha Yesu wabula kuba Yesu ngotwalakambauka, nambi amuletelani mushimu wapusana ne uwo ngomwalatambula, nambi mulumbe wapusana ne ngomwalatambula, amwe mukute kumutambula.
5 Why, I reckon myself in no respect inferior to those superlatively great Apostles.
Nkandayeyengeti ndipanshi ku “batumwa benu balalibonongeti nibapelu.”
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.
Ee, ngakantacishi kwamba cena, nsombi nkute mano akwishiba bintu, kayi ici tulacibiki pantangalala kuli njamwe cindi conse, mumikalilo iliyonse.
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?
Mulumbe wa Lesa ngondalikukambauka kulinjamwe walikuba wabula malipilo. Ndalalibwesha panshi kwambeti amwe musumpulwe, sena kwinseco ame ndalepisha?
8 Other Churches I robbed, receiving pay from them in order to do you service.
Cindi ncendalikusebensa pamo nenjamwe, mibungano imbi eyalikunyamfwilisha ng'amboweti ndalikubeti ndabaibilinga kwambeti ndicikonshe kumunyamfwilisha.
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.
Nambi pacindi mpondali kuyanda lunyamfo ndiyakumutatisha, pakwinga baklistu balafuma ku Makedoniya balandetela bintu byalikuyandika pabuyumi bwakame. Mbuli ncendabula kumutatisha pakutanguna, nteti nkabepo mutolo kulinjamwe.
10 Christ knows that it is true when I say that I will not be stopped from boasting of this anywhere in Greece.
Pakuba ne cancine ncine ca Klistu mukati mwakame paliya nabaumo eti akacikonshe kumweneka kutwanga kwakame mu cimpansha ca Akaya.
11 And why? Because I do not love you? God knows that I do.
Sena ndambangeti nkandimusuni? Lesa ucisheti amwe ndimusuni!
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.
Nimpitilishe kwinsa ciliconse ncendenshinga kwambeti kantabashiyila munya “batumwa bandemishibili” Basa balayandanga pakutwangila balambangeti naboyo balasebensenga ncito yelana neyetu.
13 For men of this stamp are sham apostles, dishonest workmen, assuming the garb of Apostles of Christ.
Pakwinga abo bantu ntebo batumwa bancine ncine, nibatumwa bandemishibili, basebenshi batashomwa. Balabonekengeti batumwa ba Klistu.
14 And no wonder. Satan, their master, can disguise himself as an angel of light.
Kayi ici nteco cakukankamana naco, pakwinga neye Satana ukute kulibonesheti mungelo wa mumuni.
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.
Neco ngacimubelaconi censu na basebenshi bakendi kababoneketi balenshinga calulama? Pamapwililisho nibakatambule celela micito yabo.
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.
Ndabweshengaponga kwamba, kapataba muntu layeyengeti ndapusa. Na encemulayeyenga ngansumineti ndapusa kwambeti ntwange pang'ana.
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.
Ee, ncendambanga nteco ncela kuyanda Mwami Klistu kwambeti ndicambe, munkani yakutwanga ndambangeti ndapusa.
18 Since many boast for merely human reasons, I too will boast.
Na nabambi balatwanganga cebo ca ncito njebalensa mucishi, nenjame ngantwanga.
19 Wise as you yourselves are, you find pleasure in tolerating fools.
Amwe omwacenjela nomba kayi njamwe mulatambulunga bapusa.
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.
Mukute kulekelela bantu bakute kumupanga busha, nambi kumulyela masuku pa mitwi, nambi kumuteyakose nambi kulitunta nambi kumunyansha ne kumuma mpaka pa menso.
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.
Nkute nsoni pakusumineti twalikukute buyowa pakwinseco. Nomba na muntu kayanda kutwanga pa cintu nacimbi nenjame ngantwanga, nsombi kwinseco nako nikupusa.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
Sena balalituntungeti ni Bahebeli? nenjame nde Muhebeli. Sena balalituntungeti ni Baislayeli? nenjame nde Muislayeli. Sena balafuma mucikombo ca Abulahamu? nenjame enkondalafuma.
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.
Sena nibasebenshi ba Klistu? Ame kwambeco ndanyumfwikingeti ndapusa, nsombi ndemusebenshi waina ndalasebensa cangofu kubapita balo. Ndalasungwa mujele tunkanda twingi, ndalakwapulwa bikoti tunkanda twingi, ndalikuyanda kufwa munshila shingi.
24 From the Jews I five times have received forty lashes all but one.
Tunkanda tusanu Bayuda balankwapula minyansu makumi atatu ne isanu ne ina.
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.
Ba Loma balankwapula bikoti tunkanda tutatu, balwani bakame balampwaya mabwe kankanda kamo. Ndalacanika mumapensho a kupasukilwa bwato pamenshi tunkanda tutatu, ndalenda mushinso wa pamenshi munshi ne mashiku.
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;
Tunkanda twingi munyendo shakame ndalacana mapensho ayosha apa milonga, kubakapondo. Kumushobo wakame wa Bayuda ne kubantu babula kuba Bayuda. Muminshi mwalikuyosha, mucisuwa mwalikuyosha, palwenje palikuyosha, banse bame bandemishibili balikuyosha.
27 with labour and toil, with many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, in frequent fastings, in cold, and with insufficient clothing.
Yalikuba ncito yalemesha, tunkanda twingi kwalilwa kona, ndalikunyumfwa nsala ne nyotwa, kubula cakulya, pakona nambi kutontola necakufwala.
28 And besides other things, which I pass over, there is that which presses on me daily--my anxiety for all the Churches.
Kayi kwakubula kwamba bingi, ame ndalikuba ndayakamwa ne mibungano yonse busuba buli bonse.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led astray into sin, and I am not aflame with indignation?
Niyani watyompwa? ame kandi ndabula kunyumfwa kutyompwa kwakubula nenjame kutyompwa. Niyani latanguninwanga mubwipishi ame kantanyumfu kwipilwa mumoyo?
30 If boast I must, it shall be of things which display my weakness.
Na ntwanga, kutwanga kwakame ngakuleshowa kutyompwa kwakame.
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)
Lesa Baishi Mwami wetu Yesu uyo wela kulemekeshewa cindi conse! Eucisheti nkandabepenga. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas kept guards at the gates of the city in order to apprehend me,
Pacindi ncendalikuba ku Damasiko, kapacili Mwami Aleta mwendeleshi wamunshi wa Damasiko, walabika bashilikali pacishinga ca lilinga kwambeti bambona bansunge.
33 but through an opening in the wall I was let down in a basket, and so escaped his hands.
Nomba ndalaselukila pacibwanko ca lubumbu lwa lilinga kandi mumutanga, neco ndalapuluka mukanwa mwa nkalamu.
