2 Korintiyawa 10
1 Ni Bulus da kaina, ina roƙonku albarkacin tawali’u da sanyin hali na Kiristi, ni da ake yi wa kirari “marar tsanani” a cikinku, amma “mai matsawa” sa’ad da nake rabe da ku!
Now I Paul myself beseech you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence [am] base among you, but being absent am bold towards you:
2 Ina roƙonku cewa sa’ad da na zo kada ku tilasta ni in matsa muku, gama na tabbata zan iya tsaya wa waɗanda suka ce abin da muke yi sha’anin duniya ne.
But I beseech [you], that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, with which I think to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3 Ko da yake muna cikin duniya, ba ma yaƙi kamar yadda duniya take yi.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh:
4 Makaman da muke yaƙi da su, ba makamai na duniya ba ne. Sai dai na ikon Allah ne, masu rushe wuraren mafaka masu ƙarfi.
(For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; )
5 Muna ka da masu gardama da kowane tunanin ɗaga kai da yake kafa kansa gāba da sanin Allah, muna kuma jan hankalin kowa ga bautar Kiristi.
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 A shirye muke mu hori kowane rashin biyayya, sa’ad da biyayyarku ta cika.
And having in a readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
7 Kuna duban abubuwa bisa-bisa ne kawai. In wani ya ganin cewa shi na Kiristi ne, ya kamata yă sāke lura cewa kamar yadda yake na Kiristi, haka mu ma muke.
Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trusteth to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he [is] Christ's, even so [are] we Christ's.
8 Ko da zan yi gadara fiye da kima a game da izinin nan namu, wanda Ubangiji ya bayar saboda inganta ku, ba don rushe ku ba, ba ni da abin jin kunya a ciki.
For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
9 Ba na so yă zama kamar ina ƙoƙari in tsorata ku ne da wasiƙuna.
That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
10 Gama waɗansu suna cewa, “Wasiƙunsa suna da nauyi da kuma ƙarfi, amma kuwa in ka gan shi, ba shi da wani kwarjini, maganarsa kuma ba kome ba ce.”
For [his] letters (say they) [are] weighty and powerful; but [his] bodily presence [is] weak, and [his] speech contemptible.
11 Ya kamata irin waɗannan mutane su gane cewa abin da muke faɗa a cikin wasiƙunmu sa’ad da ba ma nan tare da ku, shi muke aikatawa sa’ad da muke nan.
Let such one think this, that such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such [will we be] also in deed when we are present.
12 Ba za mu yi ƙarfin halin lissafta kanmu, ko mu kwatanta kanmu da waɗansu masu yabon kansu ba. Sa’ad da suke gwada kansu da kansu, da kuma kwatanta kansu da kansu, ba su da hikima.
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
13 Amma mu kam, ba za mu yi taƙama mu zarce iyakarmu ba, sai dai za mu yi taƙama cikin filin da Allah ya ƙayyade mana, filin kuwa ya kai har zuwa wurinku.
But we will not boast of things without [our] measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even to you.
14 Ba mu wuce gona da iri a taƙamarmu ba, kamar yadda zai zama, da a ce ba mu zo wurinku ba, gama mun kai har wurinku da bisharar Kiristi.
For we stretch not ourselves beyond [our measure], as though we reached not to you; for we are come as far as to you also in [preaching] the gospel of Christ:
15 Fahariyarmu ba fiye da yadda ya kamata take ba, ba tă kuma shafi aikin waɗansu ba. Sai dai muna sa zuciya bangaskiyarku ta riƙa ƙaruwa, ta haka kuma fagen aikinmu a cikinku yă riƙa ƙaruwa ƙwarai da gaske.
Not boasting of things without [our] measure, [that is], of other men's labors; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you, according to our rule abundantly,
16 Saboda mu iya yin wa’azin bishara a yankunan da suke gaba da ku. Gama ba ma so mu yi taƙama game da aikin da aka riga aka yi a sashen wani.
To preach the gospel in the [regions] beyond you, [and] not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
17 Amma, “Duk mai yin taƙama, sai ya yi taƙama da Ubangiji.”
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
18 Ai, ba mai yabon kansa ake amincewa da shi ba, sai dai wanda Ubangiji ya yaba wa.
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
