2 Abakkolinso 10
1 Kaakano nze kennyini, Pawulo, mbeegayirira mu buwombeefu n’obukkakkamu bwa Kristo bwe mba nabwo nga neetoowazizza nga ndi nammwe, naye bwe mba nga siri nammwe ne mba muvumu gye muli;
But I myself, Paul, entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of the Christ, who, as to appearance, [when present] [am] mean among you, but absent am bold towards you;
2 mbegayirira wadde ssiriiwo, bwe ndijja nneme kwogeza maanyi nga bwe nkola eri abantu abamu abatulowooleza okuba nga tugoberera bya mubiri.
but I beseech that present I may not be bold with the confidence with which I think to be daring towards some who think of us as walking according to flesh.
3 Newaakubadde nga tutambulira mu mubiri, tetulwana ng’ab’omubiri,
For walking in flesh, we do not war according to flesh.
4 kubanga ebyokulwanyisa byaffe eby’olutalo, si bya mubiri wabula bya maanyi mu Katonda olw’okuwangula ebigo, n’olw’okuwangula endowooza,
For the arms of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but powerful according to God to [the] overthrow of strongholds;
5 na buli kintu ekigulumivu ekyekuluntaza okusinga amagezi ga Katonda, era nga tujeemulula buli kirowoozo, kigondere Kristo,
overthrowing reasonings and every high thing that lifts itself up against the knowledge of God, and leading captive every thought into the obedience of the Christ;
6 era nga tweteeseteese okuwalana eggwanga ku bujeemu bwonna, bwe munaagonderanga ddala.
and having in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience shall have been fulfilled.
7 Mutunuulira ebintu nga bwe birabika kungulu. Omuntu yenna bw’alowooza munda mu ye okuba owa Kristo, ekyo akirowooza ku ye yekka, nti nga naffe tuli ba Kristo nga ye.
Do ye look at what concerns appearance? If any one has confidence in himself that he is of Christ, let him think this again in himself, that even as he [is] of Christ, so also [are] we.
8 Kubanga ne bwe ndisukkirira okwenyumiriza olw’obuyinza bwe tulina, Mukama bwe yatuwa olw’okubazimba so si lwa kubassa wansi, sirikwatibwa nsonyi,
For and if I should boast even somewhat more abundantly of our authority, which the Lord has given [to us] for building up and not for your overthrowing, I shall not be put to shame;
9 nneme kufaanana ng’abatiisa mu bbaluwa zange.
that I may not seem as if I was frightening you by letters:
10 Kubanga agamba nti, “Ebbaluwa ze ddala nzito era z’amaanyi, naye okubaawo kwe mu mubiri kunafu, n’okwogera kwe kunyoomebwa.”
because his letters, he says, [are] weighty and strong, but his presence in the body weak, and his speech naught.
11 Alowooza bw’atyo ategeere nga bye twogerako mu bbaluwa nga tetuli nammwe, era bye tukola nga tuli nammwe.
Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by letters [when] absent, such also present in deed.
12 Ffe tetwaŋŋanga kwebalira wadde okwegeraageranya n’abamu ku abo abeetendereza, naye bo bwe beepimamu bokka na bokka, ne beegeraageranya bokka na bokka tebaba na kutegeera.
For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves; but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not intelligent.
13 Naye ffe tetujja kwenyumiriza kusukka ku kigera kyaffe, naye tujja kwenyumiriza ng’ekigera ekyo ekyatuweebwa Katonda bwe kiri, ne tusobola n’okubatuukako mmwe.
Now we will not boast out of measure, but according to the measure of the rule which the God of measure has apportioned to us, to reach to you also.
14 Kubanga tetukununkiriza kusinga kigera kye tulina, kubanga nammwe twabatuusaako Enjiri ya Kristo,
For we do not, as not reaching to you, overstretch ourselves, (for we have come to you also in the glad tidings of the Christ; )
15 nga tetwenyumiriza kusinga omulimu abalala gwe baakola, naye nga tulina essuubi nti ng’okukkiriza kwammwe bwe kugenda kweyongera, n’omulimu gwaffe gugenda gweyongera,
not boasting out of measure in other people's labours, but having hope, your faith increasing, to be enlarged amongst you, according to our rule, yet more abundantly
16 era nga tubuulira Enjiri ne mu bitundu ebibali ewala, naye so si mu kitundu eky’omulala omwakolebwa edda omulimu waleme okubaawo eyeenyumiriza.
to announce the glad tidings to that [which is] beyond you, not to be boasting in another's rule of things made ready to hand.
17 Naye eyeenyumiriza yeenyumirizenga mu Mukama waffe;
But he that boasts, let him boast in the Lord.
18 kubanga eyeetenda yekka, oyo si ye asiimibwa, wabula oyo Mukama gw’atenda.
For not he that commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
