2 Abakkolinso 11
1 Mbasaba mungumiikirizeeko mu busirusiru bwange obutono, weewaawo mungumiikirize.
I wish ye would bear with me a little in my folly; and 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 a godly jealousy, having espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as 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 least as the serpent seduced Eve by his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the purity that is in 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 to you, 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 embraced, ye might indeed bear with him.
5 Kubanga ndowooza ng’abatume abakulu ennyo tebalina kye bansinza.
For I think I was not inferior to the very chiefest apostles: and if I am unskilled in speech,
6 Kubanga newaakubadde nga siri mumanyirivu mu kwogera, naye si mu kutegeera, wabula mu ngeri yonna twaboolesa ebintu byonna.
yet not in knowledge ---but we have been fully manifested among you in all things.
7 Oba nasobya bwe netoowaza mulyoke mugulumizibwe, bwe nabuulira Enjiri ya Katonda ey’obwereere?
Have I committed an offence in humbling myself that ye might be exalted? and in that I have preached the gospel of God to you gratis?
8 Nanyaga ekkanisa endala, kubanga zampeerezanga ensimbi ne nzikozesa nga ndi nammwe ndyoke mbaweereze,
I trespassed on other churches, receiving maintenance from them for your 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 among you, and in want, I was chargeable to no one. For the brethren that came from Macedonia supplied my want: and in every thing I have kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.
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 boast shall not be taken from me in the regions of Achaia.
11 Lwaki? Olw’okubanga sibaagala? Katonda amanyi nga mbaagala.
Wherefore? because I love you not?
12 Naye nzija kweyongera okukola nga bwe nkola ndyoke nziggyewo omukisa eri abo abaagala okukozesa omukisa ogwo abaagala okulabika nga ffe mu kwenyumiriza kwabwe.
God knoweth. But what I do, I will do, that I may cut off occasion from those that desire an occasion of boasting or censure, that in what they boast of they may be found to do even as we do.
13 Abantu ng’abo batume baabulimba, era bakozi baabukuusa, nga beefuula abatume ba Kristo.
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transformed into apostles of Christ.
14 Naye ekyo tekyewuunyisa, kubanga Setaani yeefuula nga malayika ow’omusana.
And no wonder: 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 therefore no great thing, if his ministers also be transformed into 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 think me foolish herein; but if they do, yet bear with my weakness, that I also may boast 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 as from the Lord, but as in weakness, in this confidence of boasting.
18 Naye obanga bano beenyumiriza mu by’omubiri nange ka nneenyumirize.
Since many boast in the flesh, I will boast also.
19 Mmwe muli bagezi, kyemuva mugumiikiriza abasirusiru.
For ye bear with fools willingly, being yourselves so wise:
20 Omuntu yenna bw’abafuula abaddu, oba n’abanyaga, oba n’abalyazaamanya, oba ne yeegulumiza, oba n’abakuba empi, mukigumiikiriza.
ye bear it, even if any one enslave you, if any devour you, if any take your substance, if any be lifted up, yea if any one 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 of their reproaches, as if we were weak: but whereinsoever any one may be confident (though I speak foolishly) I may be confident too.
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?
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.
so am I: are they ministers of Christ? (if I may speak as a fool) I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes far exceeding, in prisons more frequently, and often even in deaths.
24 Abayudaaya bankuba embooko amakumi asatu mu mwenda ku mirundi egy’enjawulo etaano.
From the Jews I have five times 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 beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I have been shipwrecked, and was a night and a day on 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 journies often, in perils from rivers, in perils from robbers, in perils from my own nation, 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 labor and toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness: and beside these outward troubles,
28 Ebirala bye simenye nga nabyo bikyali awo, neeraliikirira buli lunaku nga ndowooza ku Kkanisa zonna nga bwe ziri.
that which besets 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 infirm, and I am not infirm also? who is offended, and I am not inflamed?
30 Naye obanga kiŋŋwanidde okwenyumiriza, ka neenyumirize olw’ebyo ebiraga obunafu bwange!
If I must boast, I will boast of the things which relate to my infirmity.
31 Katonda, era Kitaawe wa Mukama waffe Yesu, atenderezebwa emirembe n’emirembe, amanyi nga ssirimba. (aiōn g165)
And the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knoweth that I lye not. (aiōn g165)
32 Bwe nnali mu Damasiko, Kabaka Aleta yalagira gavana alagire abakuumi b’ekibuga, nkwatibwe,
In Damascus the governor under king Aretas, placed guards about the city 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 I was let down by the wall through a window in a basket, and so escaped his hands.
