2 Bakolinto 11
1 Bandeko, nabondeli bino: boyikela nanu oyo emonani lokola bozoba na ngai mpiko! Iyo, boyikela ngai mpiko.
I would that ye could bear with me a little, that I might talk foolishly: and indeed, bear ye with me.
2 Mpo na bino, natondi na zuwa kowuta na Nzambe. Nabalisaki bino na mobali moko kaka, Ye nde Klisto, lokola elenge mwasi oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te mpe azali peto.
For I am jealous over you, with a godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to a husband as a chaste virgin, whom I would present to the Messiah.
3 Nzokande, nazali kobanga ete makanisi na bino ebeba mpe epengwisa bino mosika na nzela ya solo mpe ya peto na miso ya Klisto, ndenge nyoka ekosaki Eva na mayele na yango ya mabe.
But I fear, lest, as the serpent beguiled Eve by his craftiness, so your minds should be corrupted from simplicity towards the Messiah.
4 Pamba te bozali kondima ete songolo aya koteya bino Yesu mosusu oyo akeseni na Yesu oyo biso toteyaki bino; bozali mpe kondima kozwa molimo mosusu oyo ekeseni na Molimo oyo boyambaki to mateya oyo ekeseni na Sango Malamu oyo bondimelaki!
For if he that cometh to you, had proclaimed to you another Jesus, whom we have not proclaimed; or if ye had received another Spirit, which ye have not received; or another gospel, which ye have not accepted; ye might well have given assent.
5 Nzokande, nakanisi ete nazali moke te na miso ya bantoma oyo bamimonaka ete bazali minene.
For, I suppose, I came not short of those legates who most excel.
6 Nakoki solo komonana lokola moto oyo ayebi nanu te koloba malamu, kasi nazali na boyebi; mpe tolakisaki bino yango polele na banzela mpe na makambo nyonso.
For, though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but in all things we have been manifest among you.
7 Boni, nasalaki mabe ndenge namikitisaki mpo ete bino botombwama, wana nateyaki bino Sango Malamu ya Nzambe?
Did I indeed commit an offence, by humbling myself that ye might be exalted? and by proclaiming the gospel of God to you gratis?
8 Nazwaki mbongo kowuta na Mangomba mosusu lokola lisungi na bango, wana nazalaki kokokisa lotomo na ngai kati na bino.
And I robbed other churches, and I took pay of them for ministering to you.
9 Tango nazalaki epai na bino, namemisaki moto moko te mokumba na ngai, atako nazalaki kokelela. Pamba te bandeko oyo bawutaki na Masedwane bapesaki ngai biloko nyonso oyo nazalaki na yango na bosenga. Mpe nazalaki komibatela malamu mpo ete namemisa bino mokumba na ngai te; mpe nakokoba kaka komibatela mpo na likambo yango.
And when I came among you and was needy, I was burdensome to none of you; for the brethren who came from Macedonia, supplied my wants: and in all things I kept myself, and I will keep myself, from being burdensome to you.
10 Lokola solo ya Klisto ezali kati na ngai, moto moko te kati na etuka ya Akayi akobotola ngai lokumu yango.
As the truth of the Messiah is in me, this glorying shall not be made vain as to me in the regions of Achaia.
11 Mpo na nini nalobi bongo? Mpo nalingaka bino te? Nzambe ayebi ete nalingaka bino!
Why? Because I do not love you? God knoweth.
12 Mpe nakokoba kosala oyo nazali kosala sik’oyo, mpo na kopekisa bato oyo bazali koluka nzela ya komikokanisa na biso kati na makambo oyo bazali komikumisa na yango.
But what I do, that also I will do; that I may cut off occasion, from them who seek occasion: so that in the thing wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
13 Pamba te bato ya lolenge wana bazali bantoma ya lokuta, bazali bakosi oyo bazali komikomisa lokola bantoma ya Klisto.
For they are false legates, crafty workers, and feign themselves to be legates of the Messiah.
14 Ezali likambo ya kokamwa te, pamba te Satana mpe amikomisaka lokola anjelu ya pole.
And in this there is nothing strange. For if Satan feigneth himself an angel of light,
15 Ezali likambo ya kokamwa te soki basali na ye mpe bazali komikomisa lokola basali ya Nzambe ya sembo. Kasi suka na bango ekozala kolanda misala na bango.
it is no great thing if his ministers feign themselves ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
16 Nazongeli lisusu: tika ete moto moko te azwa ngai lokola moto ya liboma! Kasi soki bolingi bongo, boyamba ngai lokola moto ya liboma mpo ete ngai mpe namikumisa mwa moke.
Again I say, let no one think of me, as being a fool: or if otherwise, receive me as a fool, that I may glory a little.
17 Makambo oyo nalingi koloba, nakoloba yango te ndenge Nkolo alingi, kasi nakoloba yango lokola moto ya liboma, mpe nazali na elikya ete nakozwa nzela ya komikumisa.
What I am now saying, I say not in our Lord, but as in folly, in this matter of glorying.
18 Lokola bato mingi bazali komikumisa na tina na makambo ya mokili, ngai mpe nakomikumisa.
Because many glory after the flesh, I also will glory.
19 Bino oyo bozali bato ya bwanya, bozali kondima na esengo nyonso bato ya maboma.
For ye hear with indulgence them who lack reason, seeing ye are wise.
20 Bozali penza kondima ete bato bakomisa bino bawumbu, babotola bozwi na bino, banyokola bino, bamonela bino, babeta bino na bilongi!
And ye give ear to him, who putteth you in bondage; and to him, who devoureth you; and to him, who taketh from you; and to him, who exalteth himself over you; and to him, who smiteth you in the face.
21 Nalobi yango na soni ete tozalaki penza babolole mpo na komitika bongo. Nzokande, makambo oyo bato mosusu balingi komikumisa na tina na yango —nazali koloba lokola moto ya liboma— ngai mpe nakoki komikumisa na tina na yango.
I speak as if under contempt: I speak as if we were impotent, through deficiency of understanding; that in whatever thing any one is presuming, I also am presuming.
22 Bazali Ba-Ebre? Ngai mpe nazali Mo-Ebre. Bazali bana ya Isalaele? Ngai mpe nazali mwana ya Isalaele! Bazali bakitani ya Abrayami? Ngai mpe nazali mokitani ya Abrayami.
If they are Hebrews, so I also: or if they are Israelites, I also. If they are the seed of Abraham, I also.
23 Bazali basali ya Klisto? —Nazali koloba lokola moto ya liboma— Ngai naleki bango. Pamba te nasalaki makasi penza, nakotaki mbala mingi na boloko, babetaki ngai mingi, nakutanaki na makama ya kufa mbala mingi.
If they are ministers of the Messiah, (in defect of understanding, I say it, ) I am superior to them: in toils more than they, in stripes more than they, in bonds more than they, in deaths many times.
24 Mbala mitano, Bayuda babetaki ngai bafimbu tuku misato na libwa;
By the Jews, five times was I scourged, each time with forty stripes save one.
25 mbala misato, babetaki ngai banzete; mbala moko, babambaki ngai mabanga; mbala misato, nazindaki na mayi; nasalaki mokolo moko mpe butu moko kati na ebale monene.
Three times was I beaten with rods: at one time I was stoned: three times I was in shipwreck, by day and by night; I have been in the sea, without a ship.
26 Mbala na mbala, nazalaki kosala mibembo; nakutanaki na makama ya bibale, makama liboso ya bato mabe, makama liboso ya bandeko na ngai ya ekolo moko, makama liboso ya Bapagano, makama kati na engumba, makama kati na esobe, makama kati na ebale monene, mpe makama liboso ya bandeko ya lokuta.
In journeyings many, in peril by rivers, in peril by robbers, in peril from my kindred, in peril from Gentiles: I have been in peril in cities; I have been in peril in the desert, in peril in the sea, in peril from false brethren.
27 Solo nasalaki misala makasi mpe ya pasi penza; mbala mingi, nalalaki pongi te, nazangaki bilei ya kolia mpe mayi ya komela, nakilaki bilei, nanyokwamaki na malili, mpe nazangaki bilamba ya kolata.
In toil and weariness, in much watching, in hunger and thirst, in much fasting, in cold and nakedness:
28 Longola makambo nyonso oyo etikali, mokumba na ngai ya mokolo na mokolo ezalaki: komitungisa na tina na Mangomba nyonso.
besides many other things, and the thronging around me every day, and my anxiety for all the churches.
29 Nani oyo alembi, bongo ngai nalemba nzoto te? Nani oyo akweyi na masumu, bongo ngai nayoka motema pasi te?
Who becometh weak, and I become not weak? Who is stumbled, and I burn not?
30 Soki nasengeli komikumisa, nakomikumisa mpo na bolembu na ngai.
If I must glory, I will glory in my infirmities.
31 Nzambe mpe Tata ya Nkolo Yesu, Ye oyo akumisama mpo na seko, ayebi ete nazali kokosa te. (aiōn g165)
God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, blessed for ever and ever, he knoweth that I lie not. (aiōn g165)
32 Kati na Damasi, moyangeli ya mokonzi Aretasi apesaki mitindo ete bakengela engumba ya bato ya Damasi mpo ete bakanga ngai.
At Damascus, the commander of the army of Aretas the king, guarded the city of the Damascenes, to seize me.
33 Kasi bakitisaki ngai na nzela ya lidusu kati na mir, kati na kitunga, libanda ya mir; bongo nalongaki kokima ye.
And from a window, in a basket, they let me down from the wall, and I escaped from his hands.
