< 2 Abhakorintho 12 >
1 Ilazimisya awivhune, lelo nahamo haha wonjelela nilwo. Ishi iwendelela insivhozyani na gafunuliwe afume humwanya wa Bwana.
Glorying must be, but it is not profitable: so I proceed to visions and revelations of our Lord.
2 Uhumanya muntu omo katika Kristu unu amaha kumi na naganji ganni gagashi shilile kashele shimbele au huzi yebele, anisi minye, Ungulubhi amenye iyanyakulima humwanya wingo imwanya iyatatu.
I knew a man in the Messiah fourteen years ago, (but whether in a body, or whether out of a body, I know not; God knoweth: ) who was caught up to the third region of heaven.
3 Namanya huje umuntu onu khamaimba shimbeli— au hunzi anisaiminye—
And I knew this same man; (but whether in a body, or out of a body, I know not; God knoweth; )
4 afhulilwe abhale humwanya hadi mupaladiso na nahuve amabhwo amiza sana bha bhantu yayandi agayanje.
and he was caught up to Paradise, and heard ineffable words, which it is not permitted a man to utter.
5 Wali kwa ajiyayo ivuna. Lelo khanine nimwe nesivuna. Lelo alingane nusafuwani.
Of him I will glory: but of myself I will not glory, except in my infirmities.
6 Khashele iwaza wivune, aghashele iwaza wivune, sanabha lema eshomana ninzanga ayanje uwanaluooli. Lelo imbaleshe evune, asiwepo uwansivhila shinje wigo gabhoneha muhati au gala gabhabhuvwa afume hulini.
Yet if I were disposed to glory, I should not be without reason; for I declare the truth. But I refrain, lest any one should think of me, beyond what he seeth in me and heareth from me.
7 Sigaiza wivune alengane nengoo gaga vfumile ighafwananana na manjele. Wisho sagaimbavhe mbili gwani ihabhomba nusentano ashambulila ani, aje engande galuhane insawivune.
And, that I might not be uplifted by the excellency of the revelations, there was imparted to me a thorn in my flesh, the angel of Satan, to buffet me, that I might not be uplifted.
8 Mala hatatu ihapepeha wa Bwana wili, angadahavhe wao, wavhe nashani.
Respecting this, I thrice besought my Lord, that it might depart from me.
9 Wope ahambula, “Uwihaziwa niwani uyile kwajiliyaliwe, wahuje inguvhu iwobwa huwinu. Isho, ihazasana awivhune elingane uwinu wanii ili ishi uwezo wa Kristi uwezye akhale pamwanya palini.
And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my power is perfected in weakness. Gladly, therefore, will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of the Messiah may rest upon me.
10 Phepoiwezya kwaajili ya Kristi, afwatane nuvhinu namaligo, naimba nishilavhe, nishishisiliha winu, antele imba nguvu.
Therefore I have pleasure in infirmities, in reproach, in afflictions, in persecutions, in distresses, which are for the Messiah's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
11 Anindilemai amwe mwa mwa mukandinizye shijanja, wagawe isumwangwa namwe. Pipipo nsali mwanasana wio awawitwa vhatumwa— wiza, hata kama anisaga initwe hantu.
Behold, I have become foolish in my glorying, for ye compelled me. For ye ought to bear witness for me; because I was inferior in nothing to those legates who most excel, although I was nothing.
12 Ishi manyilo shalwoli shatumwa nzyambishe pahati napati hati pinyu na hutabhu, imanyilo namanjele ni mbombo ingosi.
I wrought among you the signs of the legates, with all patience; and in prodigies, and in wonders, and in mighty deeds.
13 Nishibhu nri mwali bha muhimu bhansi hani kulinko umwafutile umwasagile, pipo lelo sihali lizigo hulimwi? Mu hobhoshe hwilwo!
For in what fell ye short of the other churches; except in this, that I was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this fault.
14 Enyi! ane inditayali awhinze hulimwi mala yatatu. Sihabhazigo hulimwi, pipo siwanza ahantu hahonti hulimwi. Iwaza aje amwi. Pipo awana hawaziwa abhavhishe bhunto kwa ajili ya pafhi. Bhabha mbawanzawa abhishe imbuto.
Behold, this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not burden you; for I seek not yours, but you: for children ought not to lay up treasures for the parents, but the parents for their children.
15 Ihaimoga hani etumile natumilwe kwaajili yimoyo nginyu. Khamba imbaganile hani iwaziwa angane hashe?
And cheerfully will I both pay my expenses, and also give myself for your souls; although the more I love you, the less ye love me.
16 Lelo nishi shashirire, sigaiha wilishile. Lelo pipo indijanja sana, ani nihakhente amweindhi nishi yabha gahusovhusana, ani nibha khite awe ishi indhi nishi yabhajile hujanja.
But perhaps, though I was not burdensome to you, yet, like a cunning man, I filched from you by craftiness!
17 Ishi ehejile wibhombele faida wayahyuthi witumile hulimwi?
Was it by the hand of some other person whom I sent to you, that I pilfered from you?
18 Imwinishe u Tito ahweze hulimwi, ihi hatuma uholo uwinhi palishimo nao. Lelo Tito awa bhabha mbela faida amwi? Lelo, satajenda lalila? Lelo satajenda na magaga getu gagala?
I requested Titus, and with him I sent the brethren: did Titus pilfer any thing from you? Did we not walk in one spirit, and in the same steps?
19 Mumanya isho huje awalilo hanti iha tawiyumilaga ntinti hulimwi? Witalila lwa Ngulubhi, na katika Kristi, talitu yanga shila siku shila wa muntu twabhulanga abhamanyizyezye amwi.
Do ye again suppose, that we would apologize to you? Before God, in the Messiah we speak: and all these things, my beloved, are for the sake of your edification.
20 Lelo ibhogopa huje piha iinza ama izha ibhaga amwe nishi pinsu ngwa. Lelo ibhogopa uje mugawezya asinte nanaje aani ni nishi pamusungwa. Isho gaishiwogopa huje hugawa nayangane, ukelo ulipuhanilyoyo anyonwe zya munyipuya ubima afasi amaseho ivigosi namao.
For I fear, lest I should come to you and not find you such as I would wish; and lest I also should be found by you, such as ye would not wish; lest there should be contention, and envying, and anger, and obstinacy, and slandering, and murmuring, and insolence, and commotion;
21 Iwogopa huje piibhuya na tena Ngulubhi wani agawezya eniswe witazi lwinyu. Iwogopa ingawezya avitililwe nahwinji ihi mho abhombabhivhi shahusili ishi. Nio bhasambile i vantu, nu malaya agabhomba.
lest, when I come to you, my God should humble me; and I should mourn over many, who have sinned, and have not repented of the impurity, the whoredom, and the lasciviousness, which they have committed.
