2 Korintho 11
1 Kupepelya kene munindeele unene muupungu. Kuite kutai mukunindeila unene.
If only you would bear with me for a bit in my foolishness! Yes, do bear with me!
2 Kunsoko nukete uwelu kung'waanyu. Nkete welu kung'wi Tunda kunsoko anyu kupuma naenemuie muwileni nuamusungu ung'wi. Aenumuie kumuleta unyenye kung'wa Kilisto anga munanso numuza.
I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy, because I promised you in marriage to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
3 Kuite nogopile kena kuuli, anga enzoka naeimukongee u Eva kuuteele wakwe imasigo anyu ahumile kupeulwa kule kupuma mikulyo lukulu niza kung'wa Kilisto.
But I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds will be led astray from simple devotion to Christ.
4 Kunsoko kukelengasiilyo kena muntu wekiza nukutanatya u Yesu mungiza singa anga uyu nekumitanantilye. Ang'wi kukilengasiilyo kena musengeelye utananti ungiza shanga - uwu nae musingeiye. Mulindeile imakani nanso iza ikondile.
For if someone comes to you and preaches a different message about Jesus than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit than the one you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you bear with it well enough.
5 Kunsoko kusaga kene unene singa nepalung'wi muawe nea pihe kuawa neakitangwa aluung'wa neaza.
For I consider myself to be in no way inferior to these “super-apostles.”
6 Kuite ateze unene singa manyisigwa kupumya ulusimu, kutile ite mumahala. Kukela lehi kumakani ehi kutendile ite kulengika kung'waanyu.
I may be untrained in speech, but I do not lack knowledge; indeed, in every way we have been made known to you in everything.
7 Itee, aenitumile mulandune kisimya unene nsoko unyenye muhume kuhumbulwa? Kunsoko aetanantya kuwidesi inkani ninziza niang'wi Tunda kung'wa anyu.
Did I commit a sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?
8 Aeneahegeeye imatekeelo nemangiza kusingeilya uaeligwa kupuma kitalao nsoko kene aenihumile kumitumila unyenye.
I “robbed” other churches by receiving support from them in order to serve you!
9 Imatungo nae nkole nunyenye aenkole muula, singa aenumuhumieye wihi. Kunsoko uula wane aeukondigwe nea luwa naeazile kupuma kumakedonia. Mukela kentu nigiiye unene kuleka kutula nemuligo kunywaanyu, hange kulongoleka kutenda uu.
When I was with you and in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.
10 Anga itai nang'wa Kilisto neli mukali ane, kunu kikulya kung'waane shanga yukukilegigwa munu muakaya.
As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.
11 Kunekee? Kunsoko singa numuloilwene? Itunda uine numuloilwe.
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
12 Kuute ehe nekituma, kitumagwa kituma nsoko kene nihume kugilya lyoma a awa neahete insula ilyoma kena anga nekile mukeko kikoo neakiloelya.
But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may deny any opportunity to those who want to be regarded as our equals in what they boast about.
13 Kunsoko iantu ao inge atuung'wa auteele hange itunu neakulongopa. Akipiula ienso ang'wa Kilisto.
For such men are false apostles and deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
14 Neli singa ikuelwa, kunsoko ata umulugu wipiule ung'wenso anga malaika nua welu.
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
15 Iye kutile anga ikuelwa nikulu anga itumi akwe gwa kipiule ienso anga itumi atai. Ugeeli wakwe yukutula anga intendo yao nieli.
Therefore it is no great surprise if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be according to their works.
16 Kutunga hange: Inge waleke kutula muntu wehi nukusiga unene nemupungu. Kuite anga mutende, nsingilye unene anga nemupungu nsoko nihume kikulya iniino.
I repeat: Let no one consider me to be a fool. But if you do, receive me just as you would a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
17 Iki nekulunga kunu kihuela kuwikumbuli nuakemuile nuku Mukulu. Kuite kuligitya anga nemupungu.
What I say in this confidence of boasting, I am not saying in accordance with the Lord, but as a fool.
18 Kunsoko iantu edu itogola ike muili, kitogole gwa.
Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast.
19 Kunsoko aemuhoilwe nuulowa kuupungu, unyenye lukulu mukete mahala!
For you gladly bear with fools since you are so wise!
20 Kunsoko mukukolwa numuntu anga wauike muutung'wa, anga musashe wisapateli mung'waanyu, anga wamutumele unye kunsailo akwe, anga wieke migulya, angwanga wamukue muusu.
You bear with it if anyone enslaves you, devours you, takes advantage of you, exalts himself, or hits you in the face.
21 Kulunga kuminyala itu kena usese kiaitula heanegetu lukulu kituma ite. Ikele hange wehi anga wabunange - kuligitya anga nemupungu - nunene goa kitogola.
To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone else dares to boast about—I am speaking like a fool—I also dare to boast about.
22 Itee, neanso Ayahudi ne? Nunene inge uu. Itee, neanso Aislaeli ne? Nunene inge uu. Itee, Neanso utuungwa wang'wa Ibulahimu ne? Nunene inge uu.
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
23 Itee, neanso itumi ang'wa Kilisto ne? (Kutambula anga mpulilwe ne mahala) Unene inge kukela. Nkule ata mumelemu nemikaku lukulu, kule kukile niitungo, kukuwa nekutile anga ngele, nukuluta pakupe nensha.
Are they servants of Christ? (I am speaking like I am out of my mind!) I am even more so, with far more labors, with beatings beyond measure, with far more imprisonments, and often facing death.
24 Kupuma kuayahudi nsingeye nkua itaano, “mapigo makumi anne kuheja ling'wi.” Nkua itaatu aenkuilwe milanga.
Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
25 Nkue eng'we aenkuilwe magwe. Nkue itatu mponee inino kusha mumeli. Ntumie utiku nu mung'wi mubahali neng'walye.
Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I spent in the open sea.
26 Nekatula nemilinzo apakupi pakupi, kuponela ininoo mumiongo, kuponela iniino mualugu, kuponela iniino muantu ane ienso, kuponela iniinoo kuantu amakikupuma kuponela iniino muisale, kuponela iniino kupuma mualuna nealeele.
I have often been on journeys, exposed to dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers at sea, and dangers among false brothers.
27 Aenkule mumulemo ukaku hange mulikalo nulukaku, muuliku widu shanga aenelala, munzala ne nyota, kua yedu kufunga, mumpepo nekipwi.
I have endured labor and hardship, many sleepless nights, and hunger and thirst. I have often gone without food and have been cold due to a lack of sufficient clothing.
28 Kuleke naye nemangiza, ukole usukung'wi nuakela luhiku kunsoko ane imasigo ane kunsoko amatekeelo.
Apart from these external things, there is my daily burden: my concern for all the churches.
29 Nyenyu numunegetu, nunene singe nemunegetune? Nyenyu nusakilye numungiza kung'wa mumilandu, nunene shanilwalane mukati?
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
30 Ang'wi kusinja nitogole, kitogole kukeela ehe nekulagiila unegetu wane.
If I must boast, I will boast about the things that show my weakness.
31 Itunda nu Tata nu Yesu nu Mukulu nuanso nuekuligwa ikale, ulengile hene unene singa kukongela (kulongopa). (aiōn g165)
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. (aiōn g165)
32 Uko kudameski, mukulu nua mukoa pihe amutemi Areta aekuunga ikesale nekakudameski nsoko akumamba.
In Damascus the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of the Damascenes, wanting to arrest me,
33 Kuite nekaikwa munkapu, kukiila kidilisha kukeila mikiligo, nekaponela inino kuhega mume kono akwe.
but I was let down in a basket through a window in the city wall and escaped from his hands.
