2 Abhakorintho 12
1 Mbe kunyiile okwikuya, nawe chitalio echoenongesha kwelyo. Ntali enigendelela ku bhilolo no kuswelulilwa okusoka ku Lata bhugenyi.
It is necessary to boast, though it is not profitable. But I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Nimumenyele omunu umwi ku Kristo unu emyaka ekumi nene ejojatulileo unu aliga mu mubhili amwi anja yo mubhili anye nitakumenya, Nyamuanga kamenya agagelwe nasilwa ingulu ku lwa kasatu.
I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I do not know, or whether out of the body, I do not know; God knows), such a one was caught up into the third heaven.
3 Nimenyele ati umunu unu aligali mumubhili, amwi anja ya mubhili, anye nitakumenya, nyamuwanga kamenya.
I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I do not know; God knows),
4 Agegelwe nasilwa ingulu mu paradiso notes emisango jekisi muno mumubhili wonawona bhitakutala kwaikwa.
how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a human to utter.
5 Kwo munu undi oyo enikuya, nawe kwanye omwenela nitakwikuya. Ntali mu bwo kubhulwa amanaga kwani.
On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
6 Kwo kubha nikinda okwikuya, nitakabhee mutamutamu, okubha nakabhee ninaika echimali. Nawe enisiga okwikuya, koleleki ati asige wonawona okunyiganilisha kukila ejo ejibhonekana kwanye amwi okungwa kusoka kwanye.
For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no one may think more of me than that which he sees in me, or hears from me.
7 Nitakwikuya kwa injuno ya bhinu nasweluliywe byaliga bhilibya kulugusha. Kulwejo nitakubla nechigundu, Liwa lyatewe mumubhili gwani, intumwu ya shetani okunyasha anye, koleleki nisige kubha wo kusagilila.
And because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, therefore, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to pound away at me, to keep me from exalting myself.
8 kwiya kasatu nalembelejishe latabhugenyi kulinu, koleleki omwene achisosheko kwanye.
Concerning this thing, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
9 Nawe nambwila ati,”Echigongo chani chiile kwawe, kwo kubha amanaga agakola kukumisha kubhinu bhitana managa. Kutyo, enenda okwikuya kukila kubulwa amanaga gani, koleleki ati obhutulo bwa kristo bhutule kwikala kwanye.
He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
10 Lwa kutyo nili kukristo, mukubhulwa mu managa, na kujimibwa, na mubhukene na kunyansibwa, na mu byakoleke kwo kubha omwanya nikabha nitana managa, niwo nibha na managa.
Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
11 Anye nabhee mutamutamu! emwe mwasinyilisishe kulinu. Okubha nakabhee nikusibwa nemwe. Kwo kubha nitakililwe kwabwo abhabhilikilwa jintuma je chibhalo, nolwo labha anye nitali chinu.
I have become foolish. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
12 Ebhibhalikisho bye chimali bya jitumwa byakoleke mu bhumwi bwemwe mu kwiganilisha, ebhibhalikisho na mu bhililugulo na mu bhikolwa bhikulu.
Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
13 Mbe nikubhaki naliga wachimali wa asi kukila amakanisa ago gasigae, ati nitabhee mujigo kwemwe? munyiswalile kwe chikayo chinu!
For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the churches, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong.
14 Rola! anye nimaliliye okuja kwemwe kulwakasatu nitakenele kubha mujigo kwemwe, okubha nitakukena chinu chili chemwe. Enibhenda emwe. Okubha abhana kuteile okubhilikila abhebhusi. Nawe abhebhusi bheile okubhikilaga abhana.
Look, for the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not what is yours, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15 Enikondelwa kukila kukola no kukolelwa kulwe emwoyo jemwe. Labha nikasagilila okubhenda, anye munyende kutoto?
I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
16 Nawe labha jili kutyo, nitabhatamile emwe, Nawe okubha anye naliga nilimwenge muno, anye ni woyo nabhagwatile emwe nabhee oyo abhetegele mubhuligelige.
But be it so, I did not myself burden you. But, being crafty, I caught you with deception.
17 Mbe, nagegele mu kwikolela omuyelo ku wonawona unu namutumile kwemwe?
Did I take advantage of you by anyone of them whom I have sent to you?
18 Namukomelesishe Tito okuja kwemwe, nimutuma owasu amwi nage, mbe, Tito abhakolee omuyelo emwe? mbe, chitalibhatile mu njila iliya iliya? mbe, chitalibhatile mubhigele bhilya?
I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Did not we walk in the same spirit? Did not we walk in the same steps?
19 Omwiganilisha ati kumwaya gunu gwone chaliga nichibhambala eswe abhene kwemwe? Imbele ya Nyamuanga, na mu kristo, chaikile bhuli bhinu kwo kubhombaka emwe.
Have you been thinking all this time that we have been defending ourselves before you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ; and all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
20 Kwo kubha enubhaya ati, aligns naja enitula kubhasaga mtali lwa kutyo enenda. Nina bhubha ati omtula kusiga kumwaya anye lwa kutyo omwenda. Enubhaya ati, okutula okubhao amwi no lwango, amwi lifuwa, amwi lisungu, amwi bhuwenyele, olubheyi echigundu, amwi injongele.
For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you do not desire; that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, riots;
21 Nilinobhubha ati, nilisubha kujalindi, Nyamuanga wani katula okukusya imbele yemwe. Nilinobhubha ati enitula kubha sulumbhasha na abhafu abho bhakolele echibhibhi kala, nabho bhalemele okuta obhujabhi, na ubhusiani na magambo ganu bhakolele.
that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness and sexual immorality and lustfulness which they committed.
