2 Korintho 10

1 Unene ne Paulo, unene kumupepeelya kuupolo nuang'wa Kilisto. Unene nemupolo itungo nenhole ntongeela anyu, kuite nkete ugimya kitalanyu itungo nenkole kuli nunye.

Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Meshikha; I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you.

2 Kumulompa unye kena, itungu nenkole palung'wi nunye, shangakutula nuugimya itungo nekuagilya awa neasegile kena kikie kemuile.

But I implore you that when I am present I may not have to be bold with the confidence with which I intend on showing against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.

3 Kunsoko ataeze anga kuugenda kimuili, shanga kikua embita kimuili.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh;

4 Kunsoko iyege nekutumela kikuila singa yamuili, kuleka ite ikete ngulu ung'wi Tunda kubipya ukulu. Yukuheja lukulu udui nuakubepya.

for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty in God for the tearing down of strongholds,

5 Inge kuubepya kehi nekikete uuhumi nekikulya ntongeela ang'wi Tunda. Kuuletenda mateka kukela uhumi nukumugomba Ukilisto.

throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Meshikha;

6 Hange kuulija ugombinuakulamula kela intendo nimbe, nkua udu ugombi wanyu nuukutula wakonda.

and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience will be made full.

7 Goza eki nekikole ng'walye ntongeela anyu ang'wi wili ukupepeleka kena nuanso wang'wa Kilisto, nuikembushe nuanso ung'wenso kena anga uu udu nuile wang'wa Kilisto, ite uu nusese kile gwa.

Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Meshikha's, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Meshikha's, so also we are Meshikha's.

8 Kunsoko atanitogole inino udu kukeela uhumi witu, nu Mukulu aupumilye kunsoko ilu kumuzenga unyenye singa kumubipya, singa kuona imenyala.

For though I should boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down) I will not be disappointed,

9 Singa ndoilwe ele ligele kena kumutumbaunye kumabada ane.

that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.

10 Kuite antu ang'wi elunga, “Ibada yakwe itaki hange ikete ngulu, kuite nuanso munegetu ekumuili Inkani yakwe singa inonee kutegeligwa.”

For, "His letters," they say, "are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised."

11 Embu iantu anga awa nealengile kena lehi nekutambula kibada itungo nekukole kuli, inge anga uu ite nekika tende itungo nekukole pang'wanso.

Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.

12 Shakinzu nkuli du anga kilingeile usese ang'wi kigemela usese nawa neikulya ienso. Kuite neigemeelya ienso kukela ung'wi wao, agila anga mahala.

For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.

13 Usese, ata uu, singa kuitogola kukeela membi. Kuteka ite, kutenda uu udu mumembi izi ni Tunda ukupimie usese, membi niigeile kuli anga nianyu niele.

But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.

14 Kunsoko usese shanga aekiongeeye naekumizee unyenye. Ae kiang'wendyo kupika kuukuli anga nuanyu kunsoko ang'wa Kilisto.

For we do not stretch ourselves too much, as though we did not reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Meshikha,

15 Shanga kiloiye kukeela membi kumilemo aangiza. Kuleke ite, kuhuie uhueli wanyu uukuli wakwe kena ikianza kitu nehamelemu kekugalempigwa lukulu hange keli mumimbi lukulu.

not boasting excessively in the work done by others, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,

16 Kuhuie kuile, nsoko kena kuhume kutanantya ulukani ata mumekoa kukila nanyu. Shanga kuutogola kukeila milimo nekitung'wa muianza nungeza.

so as to preach the Good News even to the regions beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.

17 “Kuite wehi nuitogole, nuitogola Mumukulu.”

But "he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."

18 Kundogoilyo singa uwo nuigeela ung'wenso ukigela. Inge uyu nu Mukulu wimigelya.

For it is not he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
