2 Makorinte 11
1 Ni li takaleza kuti kambe ni mwa libika mu bumwi buholo bwa ngu. Kono tota mu libika name!
O that ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
2 Mukuti ni fwa muuna chenu. Nina muuna wa bu ireeza ka chenu, kuzwa ha ni ba mi sepisezi ku ba mu maseso ku mukwame umwina. Ni ba sepisi ku mi tambika habusu ni muli ba kamwale luli kwa Kerisite.
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 Kono ni tiite kuti hamwi, sina inzoka mwi ba chengeleli Eva cha butali tali bwayo, mizezo yenu i wola kumi zwisa mwi nzila ya kuli boza hansi ni kulibika mubu niti bwa Kerisite.
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his craftiness, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 Mi mukuti kuti zumwi mweze mi nja wambe za Jesu zumwi kwanda yozo utu ba luti. Kapa mukuti mu tambula lungi luhuho kwanda lu muba tambuli. Kamba mukuti mu tambula yingi i vangeli kwanda yeyina i mu ba tambuli. Muli bika ahulu mwezi zintu cho kwi zuula!
For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
5 Mi ni zeza kuti kanina hamu koloko wa bana ba lizuwa bunini kuba sumpwa ba apositola ba tota.
For I suppose I was not a bit behind the very greatest apostles.
6 Kono ni hanisa lutitwe mukuha chiwambo, ka hena ni yasa lutitwe mu maano. Mwinzila zonse ni mu zintu zonse tu be ziba nkanisi ichi kwenu.
But though I am rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made evident among you in all things.
7 Kana ni ba tendi chibi cha kuli bozahansi cho kuti inwe mu nyamunwe? mi cha ku lukuluha ni ba kutazi i vangeli ya Ireeza kwenu.
Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God without charge?
8 Ni ba hibili inkeleke zimwi cha ku tambula i ntuso zi zwa ku bali kuti cini mi tendele musebezi.
I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
9 Hani bena nanwe mi ni ba ku bulite, kahena ni ba lemenezi muntu zintu. Mi kubula kwangu ku ba tuswa ba mwangu baba li ku zwilila kwa Masedoniya. Mu zintu zonse ni bali bikite kuti kanji ni ni mi katazi, mi muni zwile habusu ni ku chita bulyo.
And when I was present with you, and in need, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so will I keep myself.
10 Sina buniti bwa Kiresite mu bwina mwangu, ku li tundubula kwangu kete ku tontozwe mu zibaka za Achayia.
As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11 Ibaka? Ka kuti kanimi saki? Ireeza njo wizi.
Why? because I love you not? God knoweth.
12 Mi zini tenda muni zwile habusu ni ku zi tenda, nji kuta kuti nizwise kuzekelela kwa kuni nyansa mi ni ku zekelela ku basaka ku li tundubula ka teni- kuti nabo ba wani kite ni ba tenda mutendo uswana ni utu tenda.
But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them who desire occasion; that in what they glory, they may be found even as we.
13 Mi mukuti abo bantu ba polofita ba maapa ni ba tendi ba buchengi. Ba libonekisa abo beene kuti ba Apostola ba Kiresite.
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 Mi iyi ka yi komokisi, kakuti ni haibe satani uli bonekisa kuti ingeloi lye seli.
And no wonder; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Ka hena indaba inkando i komokisa haiba aba ba hikana nabo bali bonekisa kuti ba hikana ba ku luka. Bu kaabo bwabo ka bu swanele mi tendo yabo.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also are transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
16 Ni ta kuti hape: kanji kubi niyo zeza kuti ni muholo. Haiba mu mu zezela, muni tambule mu buhole bwa ngu nji kuti ni li tundumune kanini.
I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
17 Chini wamba kakuya cha kuli tundumuna kwa kulizuwisisa kaku nyanswitwe kwa Simwine, kono ni wamba ubu chihole.
That which I speak, I speak it not according to the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
18 Sina mukuti bungi bwa bantu buli tundumuna ka kuya che nyama, name muni li tundubule.
Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
19 Mi cho ku tabela muli kopanya ni zihole, mu talifite mu bene?
For ye bear with fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
20 Mu likopanya ni zumwi yo mi tenda ba hikana, ha mi sinya, cwale ha mi hinda ha bufokoli bwenu, haiba uli bonisa ku hita iwe, kapa haiba uku bakula ha menso.
For ye bear with it, if a man bringeth you into bondage, if a man devoureth you, if a man taketh from you, if a man exalteth himself, if a man smiteth you on the face.
21 Kani wambe ka cha maswabi etu kuti tu bena bufokoli mu ku chita bulyo. Kono he haiba kwina yo litundumuna- Ni wamba ubu chihole- Name bulyo muni li tundubule.
I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. But in whatever respect any is bold, (I speak foolishly, ) I am bold also.
22 Kana Maheberu? He name. Kana Maisilaele? He name. Kana ba luzubo lwa Abrahama? He name.
Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
23 Kana ba hikana ba Kerisite? (Ni wamba ubu kana ni ba hena mwi ngana.) Ime nji ahulu. Ni bena mane mu mitendo mingi mi kukutu, mwi ntolongo zingi, mu ku kabwa ku hitilize, ku lolinsana ni bukabo bungi bwe ifu.
Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool ) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often.
24 Kuzwa ku Majuda ni ba wani iyanza ka ku ekeza “makumi onee e mbazi ni kuzwisa kamwina.”
From the Jews five times I received forty stripes less one.
25 To tatwe ni ba shupwa che mbazi. Limwina ni ba goobolwa. Totatwe nini fwilwa chisepe. Ni ba mani izuba ni busiku mu chisepe chiyalukite.
Three times was I beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
26 Ni ba kwina mu misipili inako ni nako, mwi nkozi ya lwizi, mwi nkozi ya baasa, mwi nkozi ya bakwangu, mwi nkozi ya ba kunze, inkozi ya mumu leneñi, inkozi ya mwi inkanda, inkozi ya kwi wate, inkozi ya ba mwangu ba maapa.
In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by my own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
27 Ni bena mumu tendo mu kukutu ni mu bu halo bukukutu, mu masiku a kusalala, mwi nzala ni mwi nyotwa, mukuli nyima zilyo inako ni nako, mu mpeho ni mu ma mpunu.
In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
28 Kuzwa ku zintu zonse, kwina kusunda kwe izuba ni zuba hangu cha kuli ka lililwa kaze nkeleke zonse.
Besides those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
29 Njeni yasena ziho? mi kanina ziho? Njeni yaba chitwa kuti a we, mi ime kani suntiki?
Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is led into sin, and I am not incensed?
30 Haibe ni ni li tundumuna, munili tundumune ni zi bonisa bu fokoli bwangu.
If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern my infirmities.
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not. (aiōn g165)
32 Kwa Damaseka, mubusi mwi konde lya Mulena Aretasi abali ku gantela itolopo ya Damaseka kuti ani sumine.
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
33 Kono ni ba zwisikizwa he haulo lye mota mu chitanda, mi niba ba banduki mu manza akwe.
And through a window in a basket I was let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
