2 Corinthians 11
1 I wolde that ye wolden suffre a litil thing of myn vnwisdom, but also supporte ye me.
Laiti mngenivumilia kidogo katika upumbavu wangu! Naam, nivumilieni kidogo.
2 For Y loue you bi the loue of God; for Y haue spousid you to oon hosebonde, to yelde a chast virgyn to Crist.
Ninawaonea wivu, wivu wa Kimungu, kwa kuwa mimi niliwaposea mume mmoja, ili niwalete kwa Kristo kama mabikira safi.
3 But Y drede, lest as the serpent disseyuede Eue with his sutil fraude, so youre wittis ben corrupt, and fallen doun fro the symplenesse that is in Crist.
Lakini nina hofu kuwa, kama vile Eva alivyodanganywa kwa ujanja wa yule nyoka, mawazo yenu yasije yakapotoshwa, mkauacha unyofu na usafi wa upendo wenu kwa Kristo.
4 For if he that cometh, prechith anothir Crist, whom we precheden not, or if ye taken another spirit, whom ye token not, or another gospel, which ye resseyueden not, riytli ye schulden suffre.
Kwa sababu kama mtu akija na kuwahubiria Yesu mwingine ambaye si yule tuliyemhubiri, au kama mkipokea roho mwingine ambaye si yule mliyempokea, au Injili tofauti na ile mliyoikubali, ninyi mnaitii kwa urahisi.
5 For Y wene that Y haue don no thing lesse than the grete apostlis.
Lakini sidhani ya kuwa mimi ni dhalili sana kuliko hao “mitume wakuu.”
6 For thouy Y be vnlerud in word, but not in kunnyng. For in alle thingis Y am open to you.
Inawezekana mimi nikawa si mnenaji hodari, lakini ni hodari katika elimu. Jambo hili tumelifanya liwe dhahiri kwenu kwa njia zote.
7 Or whether Y haue don synne, mekynge my silf, that ye be enhaunsid, for freli Y prechide to you the gospel of God?
Je, nilitenda dhambi kwa kujishusha ili kuwainua ninyi kwa kuwahubiria Injili ya Mungu pasipo malipo?
8 Y made nakid othere chirchis, and Y took sowde to youre seruyce.
Niliyanyangʼanya makanisa mengine kwa kupokea misaada kutoka kwao ili niweze kuwahudumia ninyi.
9 And whanne Y was among you, and hadde nede, Y was chargeouse to no man; for britheren that camen fro Macedonye, fulfilliden that that failide to me. And in alle thingis Y haue kept, and schal kepe me with outen charge to you.
Nami nilipokuwa pamoja nanyi, nikipungukiwa na chochote, sikuwa mzigo kwa mtu yeyote, kwa maana ndugu waliotoka Makedonia walinipatia mahitaji yangu. Kwa hiyo nilijizuia kuwa mzigo kwenu kwa njia yoyote, nami nitaendelea kujizuia.
10 The treuthe of Crist is in me; for this glorie schal not be brokun in me in the cuntreis of Acaie.
Kwa hakika kama vile kweli ya Kristo ilivyo ndani yangu, hakuna mtu yeyote katika Akaya nzima atakayenizuia kujivunia jambo hili.
11 Whi? for Y loue not you?
Kwa nini? Je, ni kwa sababu siwapendi? Mungu anajua ya kuwa nawapenda!
12 God woot. For that that Y do, and that Y schal do, is that Y kitte awei the occasioun of hem that wolen occasioun, that in the thing, in which thei glorien, thei be foundun as we.
Nami nitaendelea kufanya lile ninalofanya sasa ili nisiwape nafasi wale ambao wanatafuta nafasi ya kuhesabiwa kuwa sawa na sisi katika mambo wanayojisifia.
13 For siche false apostlis ben trecherouse werk men, and transfiguren hem in to apostlis of Crist.
Watu kama hao ni mitume wa uongo, ni wafanyakazi wadanganyifu, wanaojigeuza waonekane kama mitume wa Kristo.
14 And no wondur, for Sathanas hym silf transfigurith hym in to an aungel of light.
Wala hii si ajabu, kwa kuwa hata Shetani mwenyewe hujigeuza aonekane kama malaika wa nuru.
15 Therfor it is not greet, if hise mynystris ben transfigurid as the mynystris of riytwisnesse, whos ende schal be aftir her werkis.
Kwa hiyo basi si ajabu, kama watumishi wa Shetani nao hujigeuza ili waonekane kama watumishi wa haki. Mwisho wao utakuwa sawa na matendo yao yanavyostahili.
16 Eft Y seie, lest ony man gesse me to be vnwise; ellis take ye me as vnwise, that also Y haue glorie a litil what.
Nasema tena, mtu yeyote asidhani kwamba mimi ni mjinga. Lakini hata kama mkinidhania hivyo, basi nipokeeni kama mjinga ili nipate kujisifu kidogo.
17 That that Y speke, Y speke not aftir God, but as in vnwisdom, in this substaunce of glorie.
Ninayosema kuhusiana na huku kujisifu kwa kujiamini, sisemi kama vile ambavyo Bwana angesema, bali kama mjinga.
18 For many men glorien aftir the fleisch, and Y schal glorie.
Kwa kuwa wengi wanajisifu kama vile ulimwengu ufanyavyo, mimi nami nitajisifu.
19 For ye suffren gladli vnwise men, whanne ye silf ben wise.
Ninyi mwachukuliana na wajinga kwa sababu mna hekima sana!
20 For ye susteynen, if ony man dryueth you in to seruage, if ony man deuourith, if ony man takith, if ony man is enhaunsid, if ony man smytith you on the face.
Kweli ni kwamba mnachukuliana na mtu akiwatia utumwani au akiwatumia kwa ajili ya kupata faida au akiwanyangʼanya au akijitukuza mwenyewe au akiwadanganya.
21 Bi vnnoblei Y seie, as if we weren sike in this parti. In what thing ony man dar, in vnwisdom Y seie, and Y dar.
Kwa aibu inanipasa niseme kwamba sisi tulikuwa dhaifu sana kwa jambo hilo! Lakini chochote ambacho mtu mwingine yeyote angethubutu kujisifia, nanena kama mjinga, nami nathubutu kujisifu juu ya hilo.
22 Thei ben Ebrewis, and Y; thei ben Israelitis, and Y; thei ben the seed of Abraham, and Y;
Je, wao ni Waebrania? Mimi pia ni Mwebrania. Je, wao ni Waisraeli? Mimi pia ni Mwisraeli. Je, wao ni wazao wa Abrahamu? Mimi pia ni mzao wa Abrahamu.
23 thei ben the mynystris of Crist, and Y. As lesse wise Y seie, Y more; in ful many trauelis, in prisouns more plenteuousli, in woundis aboue maner, in deethis ofte tymes.
Je, wao ni watumishi wa Kristo? (Nanena kiwazimu.) Mimi ni zaidi yao. Nimefanya kazi kwa bidii kuwaliko wao, nimefungwa gerezani mara kwa mara, nimechapwa mijeledi sana, na nimekabiliwa na mauti mara nyingi.
24 Y resseyuede of the Jewis fyue sithis fourti strokis oon lesse;
Mara tano nimechapwa na Wayahudi viboko arobaini kasoro kimoja.
25 thries Y was betun with yerdis, onys Y was stonyd, thries Y was at shipbreche, a nyyt and a dai Y was in the depnesse of the see;
Mara tatu nilichapwa kwa fimbo, mara moja nilipigwa kwa mawe, mara tatu nimevunjikiwa na meli, nimekaa kilindini usiku kucha na mchana kutwa,
26 in weies ofte, in perelis of floodis, in perelis of theues, in perelis of kyn, in perelis of hethene men, in perelis in citee, in perelis in desert, in perelis in the see, in perelis among false britheren, in trauel and nedynesse,
katika safari za mara kwa mara. Nimekabiliwa na hatari za kwenye mito, hatari za wanyangʼanyi, hatari kutoka kwa watu wangu mwenyewe, hatari kutoka kwa watu wa Mataifa; hatari mijini, hatari nyikani, hatari baharini; na hatari kutoka kwa ndugu wa uongo.
27 in many wakyngis, in hungur, in thirst, in many fastyngis, in coold and nakidnesse.
Nimekuwa katika kazi ngumu na taabu, katika kukesha mara nyingi; ninajua kukaa njaa na kuona kiu; nimefunga kula chakula mara nyingi; nimehisi baridi na kuwa uchi.
28 Withouten tho thingis that ben withoutforth, myn ech daies trauelyng is the bisynesse of alle chirchis.
Zaidi ya hayo yote, nakabiliwa na mzigo wa wajibu wangu kwa makanisa yote.
29 Who is sijk, and Y am not sijk? who is sclaundrid, and Y am not brent?
Je, ni nani aliye mdhaifu, nami nisijisikie mdhaifu? Je, nani aliyekwazwa, nami nisiudhike?
30 If it bihoueth to glorie, Y schal glorie in tho thingis that ben of myn infirmyte.
Kama ni lazima nijisifu, basi nitajisifia yale mambo yanayoonyesha udhaifu wangu.
31 God and the fadir of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, that is blessid in to worldis, woot that Y lie not. (aiōn g165)
Mungu na Baba wa Bwana Yesu, yeye ambaye anahimidiwa milele, anajua ya kuwa mimi sisemi uongo. (aiōn g165)
32 The preuost of Damask, of the kyng of the folk Arethe, kepte the citee of Damascenes to take me;
Huko Dameski, mtawala aliyekuwa chini ya Mfalme Areta aliulinda mji wa Dameski ili kunikamata.
33 and bi a wyndow in a leep Y was latun doun bi the wal, and so Y ascapide hise hondis.
Lakini nilishushwa kwa kapu kubwa kupitia katika dirisha ukutani, nikatoroka kutoka mikononi mwake.
