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 exhort you, by the meekness and lenity of Christ, who in presence am lowly among 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 being absent am bold towards you, yea I intreat you, that I may not be bold, when I am present, with that confidence, wherewith I think to proceed against some, who censure us as walking after the flesh.
3 Ko da yake muna cikin duniya, ba ma yaƙi kamar yadda duniya take yi.
For though we are in the flesh, we do not carry on our 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 demolishing of bulwarks: )
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.
destroying false reasonings, and every height that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and captivating every thought to the obedience of Christ.
6 A shirye muke mu hori kowane rashin biyayya, sa’ad da biyayyarku ta cika.
And being prepared to avenge all disobedience, since 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 at things according to the outward appearance? If any one is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again of himself, that as he is Christ's, so we also are 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 yet 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.
But let such a one know this, that as we are in word by letters, when absent, such also shall we be in fact when 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 presume not to number, or compare ourselves with some who recommend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are void of understanding.
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 glory of things beyond our bounds, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath given to us, a measure to come even unto 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 do not stretch ourselves beyond measure, as though we were not commissioned to come unto you; for we have reached even 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 beyond our limits in other men's labors; but having hope that, when your faith is increased, we shall be abundantly enlarged by you according to our line,
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 places beyond you; and not to boast in another's province of things ready prepared for us.
17 Amma, “Duk mai yin taƙama, sai ya yi taƙama da Ubangiji.”
But let him, that glorieth, 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 he whom the Lord commendeth.
