2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
Nahisi panga muvumiliane na nenga katika baadhi ya upumbavu. Lakini kwa kweli mwavumiliana na nenga.
2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you in marriage to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
Kwa kuwa ni ywabile ni wivu kuhusu mwenga. Nibile na wivu wa Nnongo kwa ajili yinu, tangu natibaahidi mwenga ndoa ya nsengo yumo. Natibaahidi kubaleta mwenga kwa Kristo kati bikra safi.
3 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Lakini nendayogopa panga kwa namna fulani, kati nng'ambo ywadanganya Eva kwa hila yake, malango yinu yaweza kuapotosha kutalu boka mu'ibada halisi na safi kwa Kristo.
4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news” which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough.
Kwa mana kwa mfano panga mundu fulani aisa ni tangaza Yesu ywenge tofauti ni yolo twatibahubiria. Au kwa mfano panga mwapokya roho ywenge tofauti ni yolo ywampokile. Au kwa mfano panga mwapokya injili yenge tofauti ni yelo yamuipokile. Mwativumilia makowe haga vema yatosha!
5 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
Kwa kuwa nadhani panga nenga na nkati ya mwabile duni kwa habo bakemilwe mitume-bora.
6 But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
Lakini hata mana nenga nifundishwa kwaa katika kutoa hotuba, nibile kwaa nyoo katika maarifa. Kwa kila namna na katika makowe gote tulipangite lee kujulikana kwinu.
7 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God’s Good News free of charge?
Je, mupangite sambi kwa kuinyenyekeza mwene ili mwenga muweze kuinuliwa? Kwa kuwa natihubiri kwa uhuru injili ya Nnongo kwinu.
8 I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
Natinyang'anya makanisa yenge kwa pokya msaada boka kwabe ili panga niweza kubahudumia mwenga.
9 When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
Muda panibile mwenga na nibile katika uhitaji, namlemea kwaa yeyote. Kwa kuwa mahitaji gango yatitoshelezwa ni alongo baisile boka Makedonia. Katika kila kilebe nijizuia mwene kutokuwa mzigo kwinu, na nalowa yendelya kupanga nyoo.
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
Kati kweli ya Kristo ibile nkati yango, uku kuisifu kwango, kwanyamazishwa kwaa katika sehemu za Akaya.
11 Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.
Kwa mwanja namani? Kwa sababu napenda kwaa? Nnongo atangite kuwa naapenda.
12 But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity, that in which they boast, they may be recognised just like us.
Lakini chelo chanikipangite, nalowa kukipanga kae. Nalowa kukipanga ili panga niweze kuipinga nafasi ya balo baatamaniya nafasi ya kuwa kati tubile katika chelo chelo chawaipunia.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.
Kwa kuwa bandu balo ni mitume ba uongo na batendakazi abocho. Baikelebuya benge kati mitume ba Kristo.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
Nga yee yashangaza kwaa, kwa kuwa hata nchela hujigeuza mwene kati malaika ba bweya.
15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
Yee yabile kwaa mshangao nkolo kati batumishi ba haki. Mwisho wabe ipangika kati matendo gabe kati gastahili.
16 I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
Nabaya kae: Bai na abile kwaa mundu yeyote ywawaza nenga na mpumbavu. Lakini kati mwapanga, munipoki nenga kati mpumbavu ili niweze kuisifu kichunu.
17 That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
Chelo chanikipanga kuhusu kwa kujiamini kwa kuipunia ahukumilwa kwaa na Ngwana, lakini nabaya kati mpumbavu.
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
Kwa ye bandu baingi huipuniya kwa namna ya yega, nalowa ipunia kae.
19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
Kwa mana mwatichukuliana kwa puraha na bapumbavu, mwenga mwabene mubile na busara!
20 For you bear with a man if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, or if he strikes you on the face.
Kwa mana mwatichukuliana na mundu mana akikutia atumwani, kati husababisha mgawanyiko kati yinu, kati akibatumia mwenga kwa faida yake, kati atijibeka nnani ya hewa, au kati atibakombwa kuminyo.
21 To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
Nalowa baya kwa oni yitu panga twenga tubile adhaifu muno kupanga nyoo. Na bado kati yeyote aipunia-nalongela kati mpumbavu-nenga naipuna kae.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
Je, bembe ni Ayahudi? Na mwenga nga nyoo. Je, bembe ni Baisraeli? Na nenga nga nyoo.
23 Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labours more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.
Je, bembe ni batumishi ba Kristo? Nalongela kati nabile kwa na malango gango.) Nenga na zaidi. Nibile hata katika kazi ngumu muno, mbali zaidi ya kuwa vifungoni, katika kkukombwa pitya ipimo, katika kuyeketya hatari yanyansima ya kiwo.
24 Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.
Boka kwa Ayahudi natipokya mara tano “mapigo arobaini kutoa limo.”
25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.
Mara tatu natikombwa kwa fimbo. Mara jimo nakombwile maliwe. Mara tatu natinusurika mu'ngalaba. Natitumya kilo na mutwekati katika bahari wazi.
26 I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils amongst false brothers;
Nibile katika safari za mara kwa mara, katika hatari za mito, katika hatari ya majambazi, katika hatari boka kwa bandu bamataifa, katika hatari ya mji, katika hatari ya lijangwa, katika hatari ya bahari, katika hatari iboka kwa alongo abocho.
27 in labour and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
Nibile katika kazi ngumu na katika maisha magumu, katika kilo kikolo cha gonja kwaa, katika njala na kiu, mara zanyansima katika kufunga, katika mbepo ni uchi.
28 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.
Kutalu na kila kilebe chenge, kubile na msukumo wa kila lisoba nnani yango na wasiwasi wango kwa ajili ya makanisa.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’t burn with indignation?
Nyai ywabile dhaifu, na nenga nibile dhaifu kwaa? Nyai ywasababisha benge tomboka mu'sambi, na nenga nitike kwaa ndani?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
Mana lazima nenga niipune, nalowa ipunia chelo chaibonekeya udhaifu wango.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed forever more, knows that I don’t lie. (aiōn g165)
Nnongo na Tate ba Ngwana Yesu, ywembe ywabile atukuzwa milele, atangite panga nenga nilongela kwaa uboso. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the Damascenes’ city, desiring to arrest me.
Kolyo Dameski, nkolo wa nkoa nnema wa mpwalume Areta abileakiulenda mji wa Dameski ili kunkamwa nenga.
33 I was let down in a basket through a window by the wall, and escaped his hands.
Lakini nibekilwe mu'kitondo, pitya pa'ridirisha katika ukuta, na natinusurika boka mu'maboko gake.
