2 Abakkolinso 11
1 Mbasaba mungumiikirizeeko mu busirusiru bwange obutono, weewaawo mungumiikirize.
Would that ye could bear with me in a little folly! and indeed ye do 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 a godly jealousy; for I espoused you to one husband, to present you as a pure 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 by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve by his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from single-heartedness toward 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 that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye did not receive, or another gospel, which ye did not accept, well might ye bear with it.
5 Kubanga ndowooza ng’abatume abakulu ennyo tebalina kye bansinza.
For I suppose that I am in no respect behind the very foremost apostles.
6 Kubanga newaakubadde nga siri mumanyirivu mu kwogera, naye si mu kutegeera, wabula mu ngeri yonna twaboolesa ebintu byonna.
And though I am rude in speech, yet I am not in knowledge; but this did we in every respect manifest to you in all things.
7 Oba nasobya bwe netoowaza mulyoke mugulumizibwe, bwe nabuulira Enjiri ya Katonda ey’obwereere?
Did I commit an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God without charge?
8 Nanyaga ekkanisa endala, kubanga zampeerezanga ensimbi ne nzikozesa nga ndi nammwe ndyoke mbaweereze,
I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, in order to do you service;
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 present with you, and in want, I was a charge to no one; (for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied my wants; ) and in every thing I kept myself and will keep myself from being burdensome to you.
10 Ng’amazirna ga Kristo bwe gali mu nze, okwenyumiriza kuno tekujja kuziyizibwa mu nze mu bitundu bya Akaya.
As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting shall not be stopped in regard to me 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, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off occasion from those who wish for an occasion, in order that in the matter of which 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 false apostles, deceitful workmen, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
14 Naye ekyo tekyewuunyisa, kubanga Setaani yeefuula nga malayika ow’omusana.
And no wonder; for even Satan transformeth himself 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 great thing, then, if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall 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 say again, let no one suppose me a fool; if otherwise, yet even 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 that many boast after the flesh, I will boast also.
19 Mmwe muli bagezi, kyemuva mugumiikiriza abasirusiru.
For ye bear with fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise;
20 Omuntu yenna bw’abafuula abaddu, oba n’abanyaga, oba n’abalyazaamanya, oba ne yeegulumiza, oba n’abakuba empi, mukigumiikiriza.
for ye bear with it, if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one smites 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 say it to my reproach, that we were weak; but in whatever any one is bold, (I speak in folly, ) 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 Abram's offspring? 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 ministers of Christ? (I speak as beside myself, ) I am more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often;
24 Abayudaaya bankuba embooko amakumi asatu mu mwenda ku mirundi egy’enjawulo etaano.
of the Jews five times I 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 was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have spent 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;
by journeyings often; by perils of rivers, by perils of robbers, by perils from my countrymen, by perils from the heathen, by perils in the city, by perils in the wilderness, by perils in the sea, by perils among false brethren;
27 mu kukola ennyo ne mu kufuba nga seebaka, mu kulumwa enjala ne mu kufuuyibwa empewo ne mu kubeera obwereere.
by weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
28 Ebirala bye simenye nga nabyo bikyali awo, neeraliikirira buli lunaku nga ndowooza ku Kkanisa zonna nga bwe ziri.
Besides the other troubles, there is that which presseth upon me daily, the anxiety for all the churches.
29 Bwe wabaawo anafuye, nange nzigwamu amaanyi, omulala bw’agwa mu kibi, nange njaka munda yange.
Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is in danger of stumbling, and I do not burn?
30 Naye obanga kiŋŋwanidde okwenyumiriza, ka neenyumirize olw’ebyo ebiraga obunafu bwange!
If I must boast, I will boast of the things which belong to my weakness.
31 Katonda, era Kitaawe wa Mukama waffe Yesu, atenderezebwa emirembe n’emirembe, amanyi nga ssirimba. (aiōn g165)
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I am not lying. (aiōn g165)
32 Bwe nnali mu Damasiko, Kabaka Aleta yalagira gavana alagire abakuumi b’ekibuga, nkwatibwe,
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept guard over the city of the Damascenes, in order to apprehend 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 I was let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
