2 Vakolinto 10

1 Nene Pauli namwene mwanilolekana kuvya mpoli penivya pamonga na nyenye, nambu nilolekana na mkali panivya patali na nyenye, nikuvayupa neju kwa lipyana na ubwina waki Kilisitu.

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 Nikuvayupa mkoto kunikita nivya na mkali lukumbi lwe nibwela, muni nina uchakaka nihotola kuvya na mkali kwa voha vala veviholalela kuvya titama chimundu.

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 Chakaka titama pamulima, nambu nakukomana ngondo ngati vandu va pamulima chevitovana.

For walking in flesh, we do not war according to flesh.

4 Muni, vindu vyatihengela kukomanela ngondo yitu lepi vya chimulima nambu makakala ga Chapanga gegigwisa ngomi za makoko zoha. Tihalabisa mambu goha ga udese,

For the arms of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but powerful according to God to [the] overthrow of strongholds;

5 na kubomola chindu chechimeka chechivikiwi ndava ya kubela umanya Chapanga, tikugakamula maholo goha na kugakita gamuyidikila Kilisitu.

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 Mukasindamala mukuyidakila, tete tijitendelekili kuhukumwa kila mundu yoyoha angayidakila.

and having in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience shall have been fulfilled.

7 Nyenye mlola mambu cha kuvala ndu. Wu, avi mundu yoyoha mwaiholalela kuvya mwene ndi mundu wa Kilisitu? Ena! Hinu mewawa atihololela tete kuvya vandu va Kilisitu ngati cheavili mwene.

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 Hati ngati nimeka neju ndava ya uhotola wetipewili na BAMBU ndava ya kuvasindamalisa nyenye muusadika lepi kubomola, ndava ya lenilo nikola lepi soni.

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 Mbwitu muholalela kuvya nigana kuvayogopesa nyenye ndava ya mayandiku gangu.

that I may not seem as if I was frightening you by letters:

10 Mundu ihotola kujova, “Balua za Pauli zikali na zigegii malovi gegitopa, nambu Pauli mwene peivya pamonga na tete ndi mundu mpoli na hati peilongela malovi gaki ndi ngati lepi chindu.”

because his letters, he says, [are] weighty and strong, but his presence in the body weak, and his speech naught.

11 Mundu mwaijova chenicho mbanga akumbukayi hoti kuvya mambu goha giwanangana gala gatiyandika mubalua lukumbi pativya kutali, na gala getikita lukumbi pativya na nyenye.

Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by letters [when] absent, such also present in deed.

12 Hinu ngatihotwi lepi kujivika amala kujiwanangisa vandu vala vevakujilumba vene. Vandu vevakujikita kuvya vene ndi chipimu cha kupimila vangi, vandu vevakujiwanangisa vene kwa vene, ndi vayimu.

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 Nambu tete yati timeka lepi neju, kumeka kwenuko yati kwivya kwa chipimu chila cha lihengu leatigotolili Chapanga, lihengu letiyendelela kuhenga mewa kwinu.

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 Kumeka kwitu tahumbili lepi mibaka yatavikiwi lukumbi lwatabwelili kwinu. Kuvaletela Lilovi la Bwina kumvala Kilisitu.

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 Hinu, timekela lepi lihengu levakitili vandu vangi, nambu tisadika kuvya sadika yinu iyonjokeseka kukula pagati yinu muchipimu cheativikili Chapanga.

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 Penapo yati tihotola kukokosa Lilovi la Bwina pamulima wungi, patali na nyenye, ndi timekela lihengu litu, lepi kumekela lihengu levakitili vandu vangi pandu pangi.

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 Nambu ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, “Mweimeka amekela gala geahengili BAMBU.”

But he that boasts, let him boast in the Lord.

18 Mundu mweiyidakiliwa lepi yula mweakujilumbalila mwene, nambu mundu yula mwailumbiwa na BAMBU.

For not he that commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
