2 Avakolinto 10
1 Nene Pavuli, nene nikuvadova kuvudekhedekhe nie khisa kya Kliste. Une nilienndekhevunieli pavulongo palyumwe, Niengave pavutali numwe pwu niva na makha.
Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ; I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you.
2 Nikhuvadova umwe ukuta, unsienki ugyakhiva niva numwe, saneikave na makha agaakwidwaja yune. Pwu nisagaa ukhuta nilonda ukuva na makha vunikhuvabencha vala avisaga ukhuta tutama khimbilie.
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 Ndatugeendage mumbili, pwu satwilwa khimbili.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh;
4 Ulwakhuva ifilwiilo ifyutulwila safyambilie. Fili namaka agaanguluve agiinanga ilihema. Kywuu giinanga lweli inongwa tsoni inchavuyagi.
for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty in God for the tearing down of strongholds,
5 Pwu, tunananga lweli khila khinu ikhilinu vutwa ikyukhitoncha mungaati mumaka ga Nguluve. Tukwibata khila khinu mumasage agaakwidika mwa Kliste.
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 Christ;
6 Pwu tupokhela amakha agievonekha nukhunanga imbombo nchoni inchusanchikwidihana nulwidiko lwinyo uludolwike.
and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience will be made full.
7 Mulole khila khinu ikhilipavuvalafu pamiho geinyo. Inave uvikwidika ukhuva va Klisti, eilole ievunche mwene ukhutu umwene va Kilisite, khumbe nayufwe vutuliwo ukhuva tulivakilisti.
Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ's, so also we are Christ's.
8 Khumbe ndaniegiinie padebe ukhukongana nuvuloleli weitu, uvu Untwa avuhuminche khulyufwe ukhuvukonga ukhuvuvombela umwe sawakuvunanga, saniekhavone soni.
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 Saninogwa ukhuta nivadwanchage pa iele khu khalata nchango.
that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
10 Ulwakhuva avange avanu vita, “Ikhalata ncha mwene chihoma khange nchilinamaka, ulwakhuva umwene khimbili indekhedekhe. Amamenyu agaamwene gielondiwa ukhugaapulihincha.
For, "His letters," they say, "are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised."
11 Pii londiwa avanu awoo velewe ukhuta ikyutwinchova mukalata vutulipatale, viliehanile ndifyutuvomba unsike vutulipala.
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 Satwiluta khuvutale enoo ndukwilundamania yufwe nduvutukhilihania yufwe ndavala uvuvikhigienia veene. Eingave vuvikhilihania vene navayavo, viva vanchila luhala.
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 Ufwe, nduvulino, satukhigiiniage ukhulutilila eeno. Pwutungavombage eiwo tuvombaga eiwo wutulimugaati ndugavelo ulu Unguluve atugavile ufive, imaakha inchifikhe khuvutali ndukwienyo vuuguliwo.
But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
14 Ulwakhuva satukhiyongelenche yufwe uputukadugiele palyumwe. Tukhale vavutengulilo ukhufika kuvutali nduwienyo kulivangiili ila Kiliste.
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 Christ,
15 Satwigieniche ukhulutilila ikhigelelo kya mbombo inchavange. Ulwakhuva tuhuvila ndu ulwidiko lwenyo ulyikhula ukhuta apoonu upumuvombela imbombo pwupikwongelela fincho, hange pisigala iegaati mulupakha ulwalweli.
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 Tuhuviela kwieli, ukhuta tukhimanyage ukhulumbilila ilivangieli na khukhilunga ikhinge pavutali. Satukhiginiage khu mbombo iyivombiwa mukhilunga ikhinge.
so as to preach the Good News even to the regions beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
17 “Umunu uvikhingiinia, ieginiage khunkuludeva.”
But "he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."
18 Ulwakhuva uveikhinchova yuywa ukhuta inchova limenu vyalanchoviwa. Uviengave unkhuludeva ikhumwimiekha.
For it is not he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
