2 Ndị Kọrint 10
1 Ma mụ onwe m bụ Pọl, ji ịdị nwayọọ na obi umeala nke Kraịst na-arịọ unu. Mụ, onye na-adị umeala mgbe mụ na unu nọ nʼihu nʼihu, ma na-enwe mkwuwa okwu nʼebe unu nọ mgbe m na-anọghị nʼetiti unu.
Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you:
2 Arịọ m unu, ka m ghara inwe obi ike mgbe m bịarutere dịka o kwesiri nʼebe ụfọdụ ndị nọ, site na iguzogide ndị ahụ na-eche na anyị na-eme ihe dị ka ndị ụwa si eme ya.
yea, I beseech you, that I may not when present shew courage with the confidence wherewith I count to be bold against some, which count of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3 Ọ bụ ezie na anyị na-ebi dịka mmadụ, ma anyị adịghị ebu agha dịka usoro anụ ahụ si dị.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh
4 Nʼihi na ngwa agha anyị ji ebu agha, abụghị ngwa agha nke mmadụ nkịtị nke ụwa, kama ha nwere ike nke mmụọ ịla ebe niile e wusiri ike nʼiyi.
(for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strong holds);
5 Anyị na-ala ịrụ ụka niile na okwu ụgha niile nʼiyi, nke na-egbochiri ụmụ mmadụ ụzọ e si amata Chineke, na-eme ka echiche niile hulata isi nʼokpuru Kraịst.
casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;
6 Anyị nọ na njikere ịta erubeghị isi niile ahụhụ, mgbe irube isi gị zuruoke.
and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be fulfilled.
7 Unu na-ele anya nʼihe ndị dị unu nʼihu. Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ ihe doro anya nye onye ọbụla na ha bụ nke Kraịst, ha matakwa na onwe ha, na otu ahụ ha bụ nke Kraịst na anyị onwe anyị bụkwa nke ya.
Ye look at the things that are before your face. If any man trusteth in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ’s, so also are we.
8 Ugbu a, ọ bụrụ na m anya isi banyere ikike ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere m nʼebe unu nọ, ike ahụ o nyere m iji wulie unu elu, ọ bụghị iji wedaa unu ala, ihere agaghị eme m nʼihi nke a.
For though I should glory somewhat abundantly concerning our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down), I shall not be put to shame:
9 Achọghị ka ọ dịka m a ga-asị na m sitere nʼakwụkwọ ozi m na-emenye unu egwu.
that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.
10 Nʼihi na ha na-asị, “Akwụkwọ ozi ya dị arọ dịkwa ike, ma na mmadụ, ma nʼọdịdị ya na mmadụ adịghị ike, okwu ọnụ ya bụkwa ihe na-abaghị uru.”
For, His letters, they say, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.
11 Ma ana m eme ka ndị dị otu a ghọta na ihe anyị na-ekwu site nʼakwụkwọ ozi mgbe anyị na-anọghị nʼetiti unu, ka anyị ga-eme ma anyị nọrọ nʼetiti unu.
Let such a one reckon this, that, what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such [are we] also in deed when we are present.
12 Anyị enweghị anya ike ihazi ọnọdụ maọbụ were onwe anyị tụnyere ndị ụfọdụ na ndị ahụ nʼeto onwe ha. Ma mgbe ha na-eji onwe ha na-atụ onwe ha, werekwa onwe ha na-atụnyere onwe ha, ha adịghị ezipụta nghọta.
For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain of them that commend themselves: but they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
13 Ma anyị onwe anyị, adịghị anya isi banyere ihe ọbụla anyị na-enweghị ike ime. Kama anyị ga-anya isi nʼoke ọrụ ahụ Chineke kenyere anyị, ka anyị rụrụte ọ bụladị ruo nʼebe unu nọ.
But we will not glory beyond [our] measure, but according to the measure of the province which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even unto you.
14 Nʼihi na anyị adịghị ekwu okwu karịrị ọnụ anyị mgbe anyị na-etinye anya nʼihe gbasara unu, nʼihi na ọ bụ anyị buru ụzọ bịakwute unu, ikwusara unu oziọma gbasara Kraịst.
For we stretch not ourselves overmuch, as though we reached not unto you: for we came even as far as unto you in the gospel of Christ:
15 Ọ bụghị na anyị na-ekwu na ọ bụ anyị rụrụ ọrụ niile, ya na ọrụ nke ndị ọzọ rụrụ nʼetiti unu, kama olileanya anyị bụ na okwukwe unu ga na-eto eto mgbe niile, ka ọrụ ya nʼetiti unu bụrụ nke ga-eto eto.
not glorying beyond [our] measure, [that is], in other men’s labours; but having hope that, as your faith groweth, we shall be magnified in you according to our province unto [further] abundance,
16 Nke a ga-eme ka anyị nwee ike zisaa oziọma ahụ na mba ndị ọzọ ndị dị nʼofe ala unu, ghara iji ọrụ arụrụ nʼebe ndị ọzọ na-arụ ọrụ na-etu ọnụ.
so as to preach the gospel even unto the parts beyond you, [and] not to glory in another’s province in regard of things ready to our hand.
17 Ma, “Onye ọbụla na-anya isi, ya nyaa nʼime Onyenwe anyị.”
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
18 Nʼihi na ọ bụghị onye ji aka ya bulie onwe ya elu ka a na-anabata, kama ọ bụ onye Onyenwe anyị jiri aka ya bulie.
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
