2 Corinthians 12
1 To boast indeed does not become me: but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Chinalilape namose ngaikuŵajilwa, nambo chisale yankati yakwiwona ni uunukuko umbatile kutyochela kwa Ambuje.
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago (whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not, God knoweth) such a one caught up to the third heaven.
Ngummanyilila mundu jumo mwa Kilisito, ni sambano ipitile yaka likumi ni ncheche, mundu jo ŵajigalikwe kwinani. Ngangwimanyilila kanga mchiilu pane mu mbumu nambo Akunnungu akwimanyilila.
3 And I know such a man (whether then in the body, or out of the body,
Une nguimanyilila yakuti mundu jo ŵajigalikwe kwinani, nambo nganguimanyilila kanga ŵatemi kweleko mchiilu pane ngaŵa mchiilu, Akunnungu nsyene akwimanyilila.
4 I know not, God knoweth) that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unutterable words, which it is not permitted unto man to speak.
Kweleko kumbepo ko, ŵaipilikene indu yanti, indu yo ngaikusachilwa mundu kuiŵalanga.
5 Of such a one I will boast; but of myself I will not boast, unless in my infirmities.
Nipele chinalilape kwaligongo lya mundu jwanti yele nambo ngangulilapa nansyene, ikaŵe chinalilape kwaligongo lya kulepetala kwangu.
6 For though I should incline to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I should speak truth. But I forbear least any one should think of me above what he seeth me to be, or heareth from me.
Ngasachile kulilapa ngangaŵe jwakuloŵela, pakuŵa ngasasile isyene pe. Nambo ngulisiŵila, kuti jwalijose atakung'anichisya une mbundile nnope kwipunda yakwiwona njitendaga ni kwipilikana kutyochela kwangune.
7 And least I should be too much lifted up with the abundance of the revelations, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, least I should be too much elevated.
Nambo kuti aasiŵile une kulilapa kwannope kwa winji wa iunukuko, napotekwe mchiilu changu mpela ila ngusomwa ni miiŵa, jijaliji mpela jwantenga jwa Shetani kwa kunagasya ni kusiŵila kuti ngasililapa kwakupunda.
8 For this I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
Nachondelele Ambuje katatu kuti kupeteka ko kundyoche.
9 And He said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is manifested in thy weakness." With the greatest pleasure therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Nombewo ŵaasalile, “Ntuuka wangu ukunjenela, pakuŵa ukombole wangu ukumalichika mu kulepetala.” Kwayele chinalilape kwa kwangala mu kulepetala kwangu kuti machili ga Kilisito gatame pachanya pangu.
10 And therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, and in straits for the sake of Christ: for when I am thus weak, then am I made strong.
Kwa yele ngusengwa pangulepetala ni pangutukanwa ni pangusoŵekwa ni indu ni pangulagaswa ni pangusauka ligongo lya Kilisito. Pakuŵa naŵaga jwakulepetala, katema ko ni pingukola machili.
11 Am I become vain in boasting? ye have forced me to it: for I ought to have been recommended by you, as I have in nothing fallen short of the very chiefest of the apostles, though in myself I am nothing.
Ndili mpela jwakuloŵela, nambo ŵanyamwe ni mundesisye meje jwanti nyi. Ŵanyamwe mwaŵajilwe kunapa une, pakuŵa naŵajilwe kulapikwa ni ŵanyamwe, ligongo atamuno nganima chindu nambo ngakunyichilila ŵele ŵakuliŵilanga, “Achinduna achakulu.”
12 The marks indeed of an apostle have been shewn among you with all patience, by signs, and wonders, and miracles.
Imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka yaikumanyisya kuti une ndili nduna yapanganyikwe kukwenu kwa upililiu wose.
13 For what is it that ye were inferior in to the rest of the churches, unless it be that I myself was not burdensome to you?--- Forgive me this injury.
Ana chindu chi changanimbanganya kukwenu chinachipangenye mu mipingo jine ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito? Nganinansausya kwakusaka mungamuchisye. Munechelesye chileŵo chi.
14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your substance, but your selves. For children are not expected to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Nnole, sambano naliŵichile chile kunjimajimila kaatatu ni ngasinantopela. Ngangusaka ipanje yenu nambo ngunsaka mwachinsyene. Pakuŵa achaŵelesi akwaŵichila mbiko achiŵana ŵao nambo ŵanache ngakwaŵichila mbiko achaŵelesi ŵao.
15 And I will with the greatest pleasure spend and be spent for your souls; even though the more I love you, the less I should be loved.
Chinjisengwa nnope kupeleganya yose ingwete ni namose kulityosya nansyene kwaligongo lya kunkamusya ŵanyamwe. Ana chimunonyele kanandi pakuŵa nannonyele kwannnope?
16 Be it so, that I did not burden you myself, yet, may some say, being crafty I over-reached you by subtilty.
Nipele chinjitichisye kuti nganinantopela. Nambo ŵane akuganisya kuti, “Pakuŵa che Paolo ali jwakalamuka, antanjisye kwakunlambusya.”
17 But did I make a gain of you by any of those whom I sent to you?
Ana panamtumile jwantenga kukwenu nampokwele chachili chose kwa litala lya jwantenga jula?
18 I desired Titus to come to you, and with him I sent a brother: did Titus make a gain of you? did we not walk in the same spirit? did we not tread in the same steps?
Nanchisisye che Tito ni kwatuma pamo ni nlongo njetu jwine. Uli che Tito ŵanjiŵile? Ana ngankuimanyilila kuti uwe twapanganyisye masengo kwa nningwa umo, ni tukupanganya chindu kwa litala lilalila?
19 Do ye then think that we are making apologies to you? No, we speak before God in Christ: and all, my beloved, for your edification.
Ana nkuganisya kuti mpaka sambano tukulichenjela twachinsyene kukwenu? Uweji tukuŵecheta paujo pa Akunnungu tuli tulumbikene ni Kilisito. Achambusanga ŵangu yele yose tukwipanganya kwa kunlimbisya ŵanyamwe.
20 For I am afraid least when I come, I should not find you such as I could wish, and I should be found to you such as ye would not: least there should be contentions, emulations, animosities, strifes, thwartings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: and least,
Ngogopa, apala pachinjiika kukwenu ndakunsimana nganimma inguti pakusaka une, mbesi chimoneche kukwenu ingangusaka moneche. Ngogopa kunsimana nli ni umani ni wiu ni ugongomalo ni makani ni kulambuchisyana ni kunong'onana ni kulifuna ni utindiganyo pasikati jenu.
21 when I come again, my God should humble me among you, and I should be grieved for many of those who have sinned heretofore, and have not repented of the impurity, and fornication, and lewdness which they have practised.
Ngogopa kuti pachiiche sooni, Akunnungu ŵangu chanyalusye mmbujo mwenu, noneji chinjililasika kwaligongo lya aŵala ŵandu ŵatesile sambi kalakala nambo nganaleka usakwa wao ni chigwagwa ni chikululu chiŵatesile.
