2 Avakolinto 11
1 Nisaaga ukhuta mwivange mwale mwomileile nune mbunkonyofu. Ilweli mukhiyumilila nune.
I hope you will bear with a little of my foolishness, but you are already doing that.
2 Ulwakhuva muleinukhunogwa ukhuvivi yumwe. Neilinuvuvivi uvunonu uwa Nguluve kwa ajili yenu ukhuhuma upunaijyigile khuvutegulani uwa ugoosi yumo. Naijyigila ukhuvagegela uKilisite ndung'inja ugoolofu nyie uugosi ukhuhuma iholiwa.
I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
3 Ulwakhuva nidwada khuluvafu ulunge, ndie njoka yiyo yadetelinche nkwa Efya khuvusyovi uwavuvivi, amasago geinyo giiwesya ukhuyanchiwa khuvutali ukhuhuma khulwisayo ulwalweli nulunonu mwa Kliste.
I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.
4 Pwuu angahomile uyuunge umunu uvakuvayancha anchoovage inongwa ncha Yesu uyunge uvisahwaninie nula uvitukhandumbililaga. Apange khuvijingahie ncho ukhumpokela umepo uyunge yuywa saliehanile nduvitukhampokile. Apange khukikhwani eikhinge mkhupilila ilivangiili ilienge ililivunge ndiliimukha pokile. Mkhiyumilincha mumbombo inchi vunonu!
For if someone comes and proclaims a Jesus other than the One we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit than the One you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it way too easily.
5 Ulwakhuva une apange niliemugati muvala avanchila maka khu avo vitambuliwa vasukhwa-vanonu.
I consider myself in no way inferior to those “super-apostles.”
6 Ndaniengave yune sanimanyile ukwima khulumbilila, vusanieliwo mbumanyi wango. Khu khila khinu pwu tupelile ukhuta umanyikhikhe khulyumwe.
Although I am not a polished speaker, I am certainly not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every way possible.
7 Te, navombile imbivi vunikhiyisya yune ukhuta umwe mwimikhiwagwe? Ulwakhuva na lumbililaga ninumbu bila khudwada khinu ilivangieli ilya Nguluve khulyumwe.
Was it a sin for me to humble myself in order to exalt you, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?
8 Napokhile imipelela mingi ukwupilila ulutangilo ukhuhuma khuvene nikhale nikhuvatanga ukhuvavombe umwe.
I robbed other churches by accepting their support in order to serve you.
9 Upunikhale numwe nale munu yune nilonda ulutangielo, saniekhava inchigo khumunu. Ulwakhuva ifyunale nafyo fyakwilanile na valunkolo lwango ukhuhuma khu Makedonia. Khu khila khinu nitagile ukhuleka ukhuva inchiigo khulyumwe,
And when I was with you and in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have refrained from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.
10 Kama kweli ya Kristo ilivyo ndani yangu, huku kujisifu kwangu, sakhulanunalikha khuvulafu ulwa Akaya.
As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.
11 Khikhi? Ulwakhuva sanievaganile? Unguluve alumanyile ukhuta nivaganile.
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
12 Ukhuva khila ikyunivomba, nikhukhivomba. Nikhukhivomba ukhuta nietange ukhusiga unsiekhi gwa vala avinogwa unsienki ndugwakhuva nduvutuliewo mukhila khila iekyukhigineihincha.
But I will keep on doing what I am doing, in order to undercut those who want an opportunity to be regarded as our equals in the things of which they boast.
13 Ulwakhuva avanu vala vasuhiwa va vudeidi na vavombambombo, vasyovi. Vikhisyetula vavo ukhuva vasuhiwa va Kilisti.
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
14 Ekhi sakyakudega, ulwakhuva nayusetano ikhisyetula yuywa ndava sukhwa avalumuli.
And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
15 Inchi sanchakhudega eeno ndavavombi avamwene avikhisyetula vavo ndavavombi avamwene avayielweli. Khuvusililo imbombo nchavene nchilava nduvuvavombile.
It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.
16 Ninchova kavili: Alekhage ukhuva pwale umunu uyunge uvisaga ukhuta une nifuvile. Ulwakhuva mungavombe, mumokhelage une ndumu uvyafuvile une pwu nigiienie padebe.
I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
17 Khila ikyuninchova khunu ukwikhangancha, nukwigiinia sakhukhegiwa nu Nkuludeva, pwuninchova ndumunu uvyafuvile.
In this confident boasting of mine, I am not speaking as the Lord would, but as a fool.
18 Ulwakhuva avanu avingi vikhigiinia khimbilii, khumbe nikhihiiniaga.
Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I too will boast.
19 Ulwakhuva mukhagegiinie nukhuluhekhelo niviafuvile, yumwe mwevene pwu mulie nuluhala!
For you gladly tolerate fools, since you are so wise.
20 Ulwakhuva mugeegana nu munu angakhuvikhe mbukhungiwa, vie ikhuvaviekha ukhugavika yumwe, angavavombe umwe khuvukavi wa mwene, angieviekhe munkyanya, apange angavatove khumiho.
In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or exalts himself or strikes you in the face.
21 Pwu ninchova khosoni nchetu ukhuta ufye twale vadekhedekhe fincho ukhovo ewo. Na bado kama yeyote akijivuna— nazungumza kama mpumbavu— mimi pia nitajivuna.
To my shame I concede that we were too weak for that! Speaking as a fool, however, I can match what anyone else dares to boast about.
22 Te, avene vuva Yahudi? Nayune vunielivyo. Te, avene Vaislahieli? Nayune vulevule. Te, avene vakholiwe nkikolo ikya Abulahamu? Nayune vulevule.
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
23 Te, avene vavombi va Klisite? (Ninchova ukhuta ulukhala lwango salwale lunonu.) Une nilutilile. Nibile na mu mbombo ing'afu ukhulutilila, ukhuhanga nukhuta nikhale mbukhungwa, ukhutoviwa ukhulutilila, ukhwagana nuvuvi uwavufwe.
Are they servants of Christ? I am speaking like I am out of my mind, but I am so much more: in harder labor, in more imprisonments, in worse beatings, in frequent danger of death.
24 Ukhuhuma khu Vayahudi nupielile khahano “ukhuvngiwa mala olobaini uhenche ukhuvungiwa khamo.”
Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
25 Natoviwe nulubikhi mala khadatu. Natoviwe khamo namawe. Mumeli naponi ukhufwa mala khadatu. Nivombili pakhilo na pamusi munyanja injila khinu.
Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked. I spent a night and a day in the open sea.
26 Nikhale ndugeendo ulunivile nigeenda khila nsiekhi, mungasi inchudwancha, muvanyambuda, ukhughenda muvanu vango yune avavivi, ukhuma khuvanu avavivi avanyapanchi, mumbuvivi uwankilunga, mumbivivi uwamunyanja, mumbivivi uwakhuma khuvalukholo lwango avavudesi.
In my frequent journeys, I have been in danger from rivers and from bandits, in danger from my countrymen and from the Gentiles, in danger in the city and in the country, in danger on the sea and among false brothers,
27 Nivile imbombo eimala na mumbutamo uvupala, nu mumajuva amingi amapala agasaga khugonelela, munjala nie kyumila, papingi ukhulekha ukhulya, ukhuva mumepu nukhulekha ukhufyala.
in labor and toil and often without sleep, in hunger and thirst and often without food, in cold and exposure.
28 Ukhulekha ifinu ifinge, khulimaka agavundwanchi igya mipelela.
Apart from these external trials, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.
29 Veni udeekhedekhe, nayune sanielidekhedekhe? Viveni uvieagwisincha unine mumbutulanongwa, nayune sanipya mugaati?
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with grief?
30 Inave lwampinyo niegieniaghe, nikhigiinia khu khila ikhivonesya uvuvi wango.
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
31 Unguluve nu Dada uva Ntwa u-Yesu, umwene uveiginiwa khuvusila lusiku, uvyalumanyile ukhuta une sanisyova. (aiōn g165)
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is forever worthy of praise, knows that I am not lying. (aiōn g165)
32 Uku ku Dameska, umbaha va khilunga pasi pa Ntwa uAreta alolelaga ikhilunga kya ku Damaski ukhuta anyibate.
In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas secured the city of the Damascenes in order to arrest me.
33 Khange vambiekhile mukhitundu, ukhugeendela pakhidwel ikhilipalwimato, nukhupokhiwa ukhuhuma mumavokho ghavene.
But I was lowered in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his grasp.
