2 Wakorintu 11
1 Nuvimana memuhepeleri neni katepu hera, ata neni pawoneka mzyigizyigi, mwenga munhepeleri.
Put up with me if I am a little foolish: but, truly, you do put up with me.
2 Nankuwawonera weya, kumbiti ndo weya wa Mlungu, toziya mwenga mulifana na mwali kaherepa yanumuhetiti kwa mpalu yumu hera, ndo Kristu mweni.
For I have a very great care for you: because you have been married by me to one husband, and it is my desire to give you completely holy to Christ.
3 Kumbiti ntira, gambira njoka ulii yakampayiriti Eva, maholu ga mwenga gaweza kupotuziwa, hamuwuleki uwaminika wenu wa nakaka kwa Kristu.
But I have a fear, that in some way, as Eve was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be turned away from their simple and holy love for Christ.
4 Toziya muntu yoseri yakiza na kumbwera Yesu wantambu yingi na ulii yatumubweriti twenga, mwenga muwanka kwa mawoku mawili ama mumjimira Rohu Mnanagala na Shisoweru Shiwagira shamwankiti kulawa kwatwenga.
For if anyone comes preaching another Jesus from the one whose preachers we are, or if you have got a different spirit, or a different sort of good news from those which came to you, how well you put up with these things.
5 Nulihola ndiri kuwera neni namwana kuliku yawalishema weni “Wantumintumi wakulu.”
For in my opinion, I am in no way less than the most important of the Apostles.
6 Pamonga nahera mantambalira ga kutakula, kumbiti mahala nanaga, shitwatira ashi tushilanguziya pota na kufifa, kila pahala na kila shipindi.
But though I am rough in my way of talking, I am not so in knowledge, as we have made clear to all by our acts among you.
7 Hashi, neni ntenditi vidoda pananagaliti namweni su mwenga mpatwi kukwiswa kwa kuwabwelera Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Mlungu pota na kuluwa shintu?
Or did I do wrong in making myself low so that you might be lifted up, because I gave you the good news of God without reward?
8 Pantenditi lihengu pakati pa mwenga, mafiliru gangu mpananitwi kulawa kwa vipinga vimonga vya wantu yawamjimira Yesu. Ntenditi hangu gambira nuwapoka ulunda wawu mpati kuwatendera mwenga.
I took money from other churches as payment for my work, so that I might be your servant;
9 Neni paweri na mwenga, numgaziya ndiri muntu yoseri panfiriti mpiya, walongu yawalawiti Makedoniya wanjegeriti kila shintu shanfiriti. Su nulilola mweni kuwera nanawagaziya mwenga kwantambu yoseri ilii na hanendereyi kutenda hangu.
And when I was present with you, and was in need, I let no man be responsible for me; for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, gave me whatever was needed; and in everything I kept myself from being a trouble to you, and I will go on doing so.
10 Kwa unakaka ulii wa Kristu yawuweriti mngati mwaneni, kwahera muntu yakaweza kundewelera kulitumbira shitwatira ashi Muakaya mwoseri.
As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.
11 Hashi, ntakula hangu toziya nuwafira ndiri mwenga? Mlungu kavimana kuwera nuwafira!
Why? because I have no love for you? let God be judge.
12 Hanendereyi kutenda ntambu yantenda vinu, su nanuwapanana lupenyu walii wantumintumi wakulu yawasakula lupenyu lwa kulitumbira na kulonga womberi watenda lihengu ntambu yatutenda twenga.
But what I do, that I will go on doing, so that I may give no chance to those who are looking for one; so that, in the cause of their pride, they may be seen to be the same as we are.
13 Toziya wantu awa wawera wantumintumi wapayira, watenda lihengu lya kupayira na walipayira kuwera weni ndo wantumintumi wa Kristu.
For such men are false Apostles, workers of deceit, making themselves seem like Apostles of Christ.
14 Namulikangasha, toziya ata Shetani mweni kalipayira kawoneki kuwera ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa ulangala.
And it is no wonder; for even Satan himself is able to take the form of an angel of light.
15 Su ashi ndo shitwatira sha kulikangasha ndiri payiwera na wantumintumi wa Shetani walipayira weni wawoneki kuwera womberi ndo yawamfiriziya Mlungu. Na lupeleru womberi hawawanki kwa galii gawagatenditi.
So it is no great thing if his servants make themselves seem to be servants of righteousness; whose end will be the reward of their works.
16 Ntakula kayi, muntu nakaholera kuwera neni namzyigizyigi. Kumbiti handa pamuhola ntambu ayi, munjimili gambira mzyigizyigi, su nulitumbiri padidini hera.
I say again, Let me not seem foolish to anyone; but if I do, put up with me as such, so that I may take a little glory to myself.
17 Shantakula vinu ndo shilii ndiri shakanagaliriti Mtuwa, mushitwatira ashi sha kulitumbira, neni ntakula hera gambira muntu mzyigizyigi.
What I am now saying is not by the order of the Lord, but as a foolish person, taking credit to myself, as it seems.
18 Tembera wavuwa walitumbira gambira wantu wa pasipanu, naneni viraa hanulitumbi.
Seeing that there are those who take credit to themselves after the flesh, I will do the same.
19 Maweni mwenga muwera na luhala, ndo toziya mwankuwahepelera wazyigizyigi kwa kunemelera!
For you put up with the foolish gladly, being wise yourselves.
20 Mwankumhepelera muntu yoseri yakawatendani mwenga wamanda, ama muntu yakatola vintu vya mwenga, ama muntu yakalikwisa na kuwakoma kusheni.
You put up with a man if he makes servants of you, if he makes profit out of you, if he makes you prisoners, if he puts himself in a high place, if he gives you blows on the face.
21 Ntakula kwa soni kuwera twenga tuweriti legilegi kutenda vitwatira vilii. Kumbiti handa kwana muntu yoseri yakajera kulitumbira shintu, ntakula gambira mzyigizyigi, viraa naneni ntira ndiri kulitumbira.
I say this by way of shaming ourselves, as if we had been feeble. But if anyone puts himself forward (I am talking like a foolish person), I will do the same.
22 Hashi, womberi ndo Waebulaniya? Su neni vilaa Namuebraniya. Hashi, womberi ndo Waisraeli? Su neni vilaa Namwisraeli. Hashi, womberi ndo washiyiwuku sha Aburahamu? Su neni vilaa wa shiyiwuku sha Aburahamu.
Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they of Israel? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
23 Hashi womberi ndo wantumintumi wa Kristu? Ntakula aga gambira nana likwali, kumbiti neni nantumintumi gwa Kristu nentu kuliku womberi. Neni ntenda lihengu likamala nentu kuliku womberi, nkala kushibetubetu mala zivuwa nentu kuliku womberi, nsyatagwa ntomondu mala zivuwa nentu kuliku womberi na nweriti pakwegera na kuhowa mala zivuwa kuliku womberi.
Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking foolishly) I am more so; I have had more experience of hard work, of prisons, of blows more than measure, of death.
24 Mala mhanu nsyatangitwi na Wayawudi, ntomondu malongu matatu na tisa.
Five times the Jews gave me forty blows but one.
25 Ngomangitwi na shindonga mala ntatu, wangumiti mabuwi mala yimu, mala ntantu mtumbwi gupantikiti mubahali na neni pawera mlaa na nyerukiti mmashi amu pashiru poseri na paliwala poseri.
Three times I was whipped with rods, once I was stoned, three times the ship I was in came to destruction at sea, a night and a day I have been in the water;
26 Mumwanja zyangu zivuwa neni nweriti muhatali kukusiwa mumashi, muhatali kukomwa na wapoka, muhatali kukomwa na wenikaya wayangu na muhatali kukomwa na wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi, ntabikiti mlushi na ntabikiti mushiwala na ntabikiti muntundu na mubahali na ntabisiyitwi na waganja yawapayira.
In frequent travels, in dangers on rivers, in dangers from outlaws, in dangers from my countrymen, in dangers from the Gentiles, in dangers in the town, in dangers in the waste land, in dangers at sea, in dangers among false brothers;
27 Ntenda lihengu na kutabika, nkala masu pota na kugonja mala zivuwa, nweriti na njala na kuyumuluwa, mala zivuwa noyiti kuliya shiboga na kulikala mumpepu shivula.
In hard work and weariness, in frequent watchings, going without food and drink, cold and in need of clothing.
28 Pamuhera na gamonga gavuwa, kila lishaka neni wera na mahengu gavuwa muvipinga vyoseri vya wantu yawamjimira Yesu.
In addition to all the other things, there is that which comes on me every day, the care of all the churches.
29 Handa kwana muntu mlegilegi, neni nwera mlegilegi vilaa. Muntu yoseri pakatendwa katendi vidoda, neni vilaa moyu guntama.
Who is feeble and I am not feeble? who is in danger of falling, and I am not angry?
30 Handa panulitumba, su hanulitumbiri shitwatila shashilanguziya ntambu yanwera legilegi.
If I have to take credit to myself, I will do so in the things in which I am feeble.
31 Mlungu, Tati gwa Mtuwa Yesu, litawu lyakuwi likwiswi mashaka goseri, yomberi kavimana kuwera neni mpaya ndiri. (aiōn g165)
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be praise for ever, is witness that the things which I say are true. (aiōn g165)
32 Paweriti Dameski, mkolamlima yakaweriti pasi pa mfalumi Areta, kaweriti pakalulolera lushi lwa Dameski, su kankamuli.
In Damascus, the ruler under Aretas the king kept watch over the town of the people of Damascus, in order to take me:
33 Kumbiti nsulusiwitwi mulijamanda, kupitira mulupenu lwa shibambaza, nulipotiti kulawa mmawoku gakuwi.
And being let down in a basket from the wall through a window, I got free from his hands.
