2 Korintiyawa 10
1 Ni, Bulus, da kaina nake rokon ku, ta wurin tawali'u da nasihar Almasihu. Ina da saukin kai yayinda nake gaban ku, amma ina da gabagadi a gare ku yayinda ba na tare da ku.
But as for me Paul, I entreat you by the gentleness and self-forgetfulness of Christ--I who when among you have not an imposing personal presence, but when absent am fearlessly outspoken in dealing with you.
2 Ina rokon ku, yayinda nake gabanku, ba ni so in zama mai tsaurin hali. Amma ina ganin zan bukaci zama mai gabagadi sa'adda nake tsayayya da su wadanda ke zaton muna zama bisa ga jiki.
I beseech you not to compel me when present to make a bold display of the confidence with which I reckon I shall show my 'courage' against some who reckon that we are guided by worldly principles.
3 Kodashike dai muna tafiya bisa jiki, ba ma yin yaki bisa jiki.
For, though we are still living in the world, it is no worldly warfare that we are waging.
4 Domin makaman da muke yaki da su ba na jiki ba ne. Maimakon haka, makamai ne na Allah da ke da ikon rushe ikokin shaidan. Suna kawar da dukan gardandamin da ke kawo kaucewa.
The weapons with which we fight are not human weapons, but are mighty for God in overthrowing strong fortresses.
5 Muna kuma rushe duk wani abinda ke gaba da sanin Allah. Muna kuma kama kowanne tunani zuwa biyayya ga Almasihu.
For we overthrow arrogant 'reckonings,' and every stronghold that towers high in defiance of the knowledge of God, and we carry off every thought as if into slavery--into subjection to Christ;
6 Muna kuma shirye mu hukunta kowanne irin aiki na rashin biyayya, da zarar biyayyarku ta tabbata.
while we hold ourselves in readiness to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as ever you as a Church have fully shown your obedience.
7 Dubi abin da aka sa a bayyane a gaban ku. In har wani ya tabbata shi na Almasihu ne, bari fa ya tunatar da kansa cewa kamar yadda shi na Almasihu ne, hakanan muma muke.
Is it outward appearances you look to? If any man is confident as regards himself that he specially belongs to Christ, let him consider again and reflect that just as he belongs to Christ, so also do we.
8 Ko da zan yi fahariya da ikon da muke dashi, wanda Ubangiji ya ba mu domin mu inganta ku, ba domin mu rushe ku ba, ba zan ji kunya ba.
If, however, I were to boast more loudly of our Apostolic authority, which the Lord has given us that we may build you up, not pull you down, I should have no reason to feel ashamed.
9 Ba na so ya zama kamar ina firgita ku ne da wasikuna.
Let it not seem as if I wanted to frighten you by my letters.
10 Domin wadansu mutane na cewa, “Wasikunsa na da iko da firgitarwa, amma in ka gan shi kumama ne. Kalmominsa ba abin saurare ba ne.”
For they say "His letters are authoritative and forcible, but his personal presence is unimpressive, and as for eloquence, he has none."
11 Bari wadannan mutane su sani cewa abinda muke fadi a kalmomin wasikunmu lokacin da ba mu nan, haka za mu yi in muna nan.
Let such people take this into their reckoning, that whatever we are in word by our letters when absent, the same are we also in act when present.
12 Mu dai ba mu hada kanmu da kowa, ko kuma mu kwatanta kanmu da wadanda ke yabon kansu. Amma yayin da suke gwada kansu da junansu, suke kuma kwatanta kansu da junansu, ba su da ganewa.
For we have not the 'courage' to rank ourselves among, or compare ourselves with, certain persons distinguished by their self-commendation. Yet they are not wise, measuring themselves, as they do, by one another and comparing themselves with one another.
13 Saidai, ba za mu yi fahariya fiye da yadda ya kamata ba. Maimakon haka, za mu yi haka ne gwalgwadon iyakar abinda Allah ya sa muyi, iyakar da takai gareku.
We, however, will not exceed due limits in our boasting, but will keep within the limits of the sphere which God has assigned to us as a limit, which reaches even to you.
14 Gama bamu yi zarbabi ba sa'adda muka kai gareku. Mune na farko da muka kai gare ku da bisharar Almasihu.
For there is no undue stretch of authority on our part, as though it did not extend to you. We pressed on even to Corinth, and were the first to proclaim to you the Good News of the Christ.
15 Ba mu yi fahariya fiye da kima game da aikin wasu ba. Maimakon haka, muna fatan bangaskiyar ku ta karu domin bangaren aikin mu ya kara fadada kwarai, kuma a daidai iyakarsa.
We do not exceed our due limits, and take credit for other men's labours; but we entertain the hope that, as your faith grows, we shall gain promotion among you--still keeping within our own sphere--promotion to a larger field of labour,
16 Muna fatan haka, domin mu kai bishara zuwa yankunan da ke gaba da naku. Ba za mu yi fahariya akan aikin da aka yi a yankin wani ba.
and shall tell the Good News in the districts beyond you, not boasting in another man's sphere about work already done by him.
17 “Amma bari duk wanda zai yi fahariya, ya yi ta cikin Ubangiji.”
But "whoever boasts, let his boast be in the Lord."
18 Domin ba wanda ya ke shaidar kansa shine yardajje ba. Maimakon haka, sai dai wanda Ubangiji ke shaidarsa.
For it is not the man that commends himself who is really approved, but he whom the Lord commends.
