2 Abakkolinso 11
1 Mbasaba mungumiikirizeeko mu busirusiru bwange obutono, weewaawo mungumiikirize.
I WISH ye would bear with me a little in my foolishness, yea indeed bear with me.
2 Mbakwatirwa obuggya, obuggya bwa Katonda, kubanga naboogereza omusajja omu, nga muli mbeerera zennyini, ne mbawaayo eri Kristo;
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy; for I have espoused you to one husband, to present you a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 kyokka neeraliikirira nnyo nga ntya nti si kulwa nga mulimbibwa nga Kaawa bwe yalimbibwa omusota ne muwaba mu birowoozo byammwe okuva mu bwetoowaze n’obutukuvu obuli mu Kristo.
But I fear lest as the serpent beguiled Eve by his craftiness, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity which belongs to Christ.
4 Bwe wabaawo omuntu ajja n’ababuulira Yesu omulala gwe tutabuulira, oba ne mufuna omwoyo omulala, gwe mutafunanga, oba ne mubuulirwa Enjiri endala gye mutabuulirwanga, mubigumiikiriza.
For if he indeed that cometh preach another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not embraced, ye might well bear with him.
5 Kubanga ndowooza ng’abatume abakulu ennyo tebalina kye bansinza.
For I reckon myself to be nothing inferior to the very chief of the apostles.
6 Kubanga newaakubadde nga siri mumanyirivu mu kwogera, naye si mu kutegeera, wabula mu ngeri yonna twaboolesa ebintu byonna.
For though I may be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but on every occasion we have been made manifest in all things among you.
7 Oba nasobya bwe netoowaza mulyoke mugulumizibwe, bwe nabuulira Enjiri ya Katonda ey’obwereere?
Am I chargeable with a fault (humbling myself that you might be exalted), that I preached to you the gospel of God freely?
8 Nanyaga ekkanisa endala, kubanga zampeerezanga ensimbi ne nzikozesa nga ndi nammwe ndyoke mbaweereze,
I plundered other churches, receiving a provision from them, in order to minister to you.
9 era bwe nnali nammwe ne mbaako bye neetaaga, ssaazitoowerera muntu yenna kubanga abooluganda abaava e Makedoniya bampanga byonna bye nnali neetaaga, ne neekuuma nnyo obutabazitoowerera mu buli kintu, era nzija kwongera okwekuuma bwe ntyo.
And when I was with you, and in want, I was burdensome to no man; for my want the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied; and on every occasion I have kept myself from being burdensome, and will keep myself.
10 Ng’amazirna ga Kristo bwe gali mu nze, okwenyumiriza kuno tekujja kuziyizibwa mu nze mu bitundu bya Akaya.
I protest, by the truth of Christ in me, that from this boasting no man shall seal up my lips in the regions of Achaia.
11 Lwaki? Olw’okubanga sibaagala? Katonda amanyi nga mbaagala.
Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth.
12 Naye nzija kweyongera okukola nga bwe nkola ndyoke nziggyewo omukisa eri abo abaagala okukozesa omukisa ogwo abaagala okulabika nga ffe mu kwenyumiriza kwabwe.
But what I do, I will do also, that I may cut off occasion from those who desire occasion, that wherein they boast, they may be found even as we.
13 Abantu ng’abo batume baabulimba, era bakozi baabukuusa, nga beefuula abatume ba Kristo.
For such are fake apostles, deceitful labourers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
14 Naye ekyo tekyewuunyisa, kubanga Setaani yeefuula nga malayika ow’omusana.
And no marvel! For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Noolwekyo abamuweereza bwe beefuula ng’abaweereza b’obutuukirivu tekitwewuunyisa. Ku nkomerero bagenda kubonerezebwa ng’ebikolwa byabwe biri.
It is no wonder therefore if his ministers also be transformed as ministers of righteousness; whose end will be according to their works.
16 Nziramu okubagamba nti omuntu yenna aleme kundowooza kuba musirusiru; kyokka ne bwe mundowooza okuba omusirusiru, munsembeze, nange neenyumirizeeko katono.
I repeat it again, Let no man suppose that I am a fool; but if otherwise, then as a fool receive me, that I too may boast myself a little.
17 Kaakano bye njogera Mukama si yandagidde okubyogera, wabula neeyisa ng’omusirusiru mu buvumu buno obw’okwenyumiriza.
What I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as it were in folly in this confidence of boasting.
18 Naye obanga bano beenyumiriza mu by’omubiri nange ka nneenyumirize.
Seeing many boast themselves after the flesh, I will boast also.
19 Mmwe muli bagezi, kyemuva mugumiikiriza abasirusiru.
For ye bear with fools easily when you are wise yourselves.
20 Omuntu yenna bw’abafuula abaddu, oba n’abanyaga, oba n’abalyazaamanya, oba ne yeegulumiza, oba n’abakuba empi, mukigumiikiriza.
For ye bear if a man enslave you, if a man eat you up, if a man receive from you, if a man is insolent, if a man smite you on the face.
21 Ekyo kinswaza okukyogera kubanga tubadde banafu mu ekyo. Naye omuntu yenna kye yeewaayo okukola, nga njogera mu busirusiru, nange neewaayo okukikola.
I speak with reference to the reproach cast on me, as though we were feeble; but wherein any man is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
22 Bo Baebbulaniya? Nange bwe ndi. Bagamba nti Bayisirayiri? Nange bwe ntyo. Bazzukulu ba Ibulayimu? Nange bwe ndi.
Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
23 Bagamba nti baweereza ba Kristo? Nga njogera ng’agudde eddalu, nze mbasinga; Mbasinga okukola ennyo, era nsibiddwa mu kkomera emirundi mingi okubasinga, n’emirundi gye nkubiddwa mingi okusingawo, era emirundi mingi ne mba kumpi n’okufa.
Are they the ministers of Christ? (I speak foolishly) I am above them: in labours more abundantly, in stripes exceedingly more, in prisons more frequently, in the most immediate danger of death often.
24 Abayudaaya bankuba embooko amakumi asatu mu mwenda ku mirundi egy’enjawulo etaano.
Of the Jews five times I have received forty stripes save one.
25 Nakubwa emiggo emirundi esatu. Omulundi gumu nakubwa amayinja. Emirundi esatu ekyombo kye nalingamu kyamenyeka. Olulala ne nsula era ne nsiiba mu buziba.
Thrice I have been scourged with rods, once I have been stoned, thrice I have suffered shipwreck, a whole night and day I have passed in the deep;
26 Ntambudde nnyo, era emirundi mingi ne mpona akabi k’omujjuzo gw’emigga, ne mpona n’akabi ak’abanyazi, n’empona ab’eggwanga lyange, era n’Abamawanga abalala. Nayolekera obubenje obw’omu kibuga, ne mpona n’okufiira mu ddungu ne mu muyaga ogw’oku nnyanja, ne mpona n’akabi ak’abantu abeeyita abooluganda;
in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own countrymen, in perils from the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the desert, in perils on the sea, in perils among false brethren;
27 mu kukola ennyo ne mu kufuba nga seebaka, mu kulumwa enjala ne mu kufuuyibwa empewo ne mu kubeera obwereere.
in labour and travail, in watchings often, in fastings frequently, in hunger and thirst, in cold and nakedness;
28 Ebirala bye simenye nga nabyo bikyali awo, neeraliikirira buli lunaku nga ndowooza ku Kkanisa zonna nga bwe ziri.
and beside all these things from without, that accumulated burden which cometh on me daily, the care of all the churches.
29 Bwe wabaawo anafuye, nange nzigwamu amaanyi, omulala bw’agwa mu kibi, nange njaka munda yange.
Who is feeble, and am I not feeble? Who is offended, and am I not on fire?
30 Naye obanga kiŋŋwanidde okwenyumiriza, ka neenyumirize olw’ebyo ebiraga obunafu bwange!
If I must glory, I will glory in the things which respect my infirmities.
31 Katonda, era Kitaawe wa Mukama waffe Yesu, atenderezebwa emirembe n’emirembe, amanyi nga ssirimba. (aiōn g165)
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not. (aiōn g165)
32 Bwe nnali mu Damasiko, Kabaka Aleta yalagira gavana alagire abakuumi b’ekibuga, nkwatibwe,
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes, intending to seize me;
33 naye ne mpisibwa mu ddirisa, eryali mu kisenge kya bbugwe w’ekibuga, nga ndi mu kisero kye baaleebeesa ku miguwa okuntuusa ebweru wansi, bwe ntyo abo ne mbawona.
and through a window in a basket I was let down by the wall, and escaped out of his hands.
