2 VaKorinde 10
1 Nounyoro nokuzvidzora kwaKristu, ndinokumbira zvikuru kwamuri, ini Pauro, “ndinotya” zvikuru kana ndichitarisana nemi chiso nechiso asi, “handityi” kana ndisipo!
Myself now I myself Paul exhort you through the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who as to appearance indeed [am] humble among you, being absent however I am bold toward you;
2 Ndinokukumbirisai zvikuru kuti kana ndichinge ndasvika kwamuri ndirege kuzova nokushinga kwandinofanira kuva nako kuna vanhu avo vanofunga kuti tinorarama namararamiro enyika ino.
I implore [you] now that not being present to be bold with the confidence with which I reckon to be daring toward some those reckoning us as according to flesh walking.
3 Nokuti kunyange dai tichigara zvedu munyika, hatirwi hondo sezvinoita nyika ino.
In flesh for walking not according to flesh do we wage war,
4 Nhumbi dzatinorwa nadzo hadzizi nhumbi dzenyika ino. Asi dzine simba raMwari rokuputsa nhare.
The for weapons of the warfare of us [are] not fleshly but powerful divinely to [the] demolition of strongholds,
5 Tinoputsa kukakavara nokunyengera kwose kunozvikudza kuchipikisa kuziva Mwari, uye tinotapa mifungo yose kuti iteerere Kristu.
arguments overthrowing and every high thing lifting itself up against the knowledge of God and taking captive every thought into the obedience of Christ
6 Uye tichange takagadzirira kuranga kuita kwose kwokusateerera, kana kuteerera kwenyu kuchinge kwazadziswa.
and in readiness having to avenge all disobedience, when may have been fulfilled your obedience.
7 Imi muri kungoonera zvinhu pamusoro bedzi. Kana munhu achivimba kuti iye ndowaKristu, ngaarangarirewo zvakare kuti isu tiri vaKristu sezvaakaitawo iye.
The [things] according to appearance are you looking. If anyone is persuaded in himself of Christ to be, this he should reckon again (within *N(k)O*) himself that even as he [is] of Christ, so also [are] we ourselves (of Christ. *k*)
8 Nokuti kunyange dai ndichizvirumbidza pachena pamusoro pesimba ratakapiwa naIshe rokukuvakai kwete rokukuputsirai pasi, handinganyadziswi nazvo.
If even for (and *k*) more excessive somewhat I shall boast concerning the authority of us which has given the Lord (to us *k*) for building [you] up and not for tearing down you, not I will be ashamed;
9 Handidi kuedza kuita sendinokutyisidzirai netsamba dzangu.
that not [I] may seem as if to frighten you through the letters.
10 Nokuti vamwe vanoti, “Tsamba dzake dzina mashoko makukutu uye dzine chisimba, asi iye pachake haatyisi uye kutaura kwake hakuna maturo.”
For the letters indeed they say [are] weighty and strong, however the presence of the body weak and the speech ignored.
11 Vanhu vakadai vanofanira kuziva kuti zvatiri mumatsamba edu kana tisipo, ndizvo zvatichava pakuita kwedu kana tavapo.
This should realise type of [person] that such as we are in word through letters being absent, such [we are] also being present in action.
12 Hatidi kuedza kuzvienzanisa kana kuzvifananidza navamwe vanozvirumbidza. Pavanozviera vachizvienzanisa naivo pachavo, havana kuchenjera.
Not for dare we to classify or to compare ourselves [with] some themselves commending; but these by themselves themselves measuring and comparing themselves with themselves not understand.
13 Zvisinei, isu hatingazvirumbidzi kupfuura mwero wakafanira, asi tinogumisa mwero wokuzvirumbidza kwedu pabasa ratakapiwa naMwari, basa rinosvika kunyange kwamuri.
We ourselves however (not *N(k)O*) into the [things] beyond measure will boast but according to the measure of the area that has assigned to us God a measure to reach as far as also you.
14 Hatizi kupfurikidza mwero pakuzvirumbidza kwedu, sezvazvaizova kana dai takanga tisina kuuya kwamuri, nokuti takasvika kwamuri nevhangeri raKristu.
Not for as not reaching to you we are overextending ourselves; as far as for also you we came in the gospel of Christ;
15 Uyezve hatipfuuri miganhu yedu nokuzvirumbidza pamusoro pebasa rakaitwa navamwe. Tariro yedu ndeyokuti, pamunoramba muchikura pakutenda kwenyu, mashandiro edu pakati penyu achakurawo kwazvo,
not to the [things] beyond measure boasting in others’ labors, hope however having increasing the faith of you among you to be enlarged according to the area of us to excess,
16 kuitira kuti tigoparidza vhangeri kumatunhu ari mberi kwenyu. Nokuti hatidi kuzvirumbidza nebasa rakaitwa kare munzvimbo dzavamwe vanhu.
so as that beyond you to evangelise, not in another’s area in [things] ready to boast.
17 Asi, “Anozvirumbidza ngaazvirumbidze muna She.”
The [one] however boasting in [the] Lord he should boast;
18 Nokuti haasi uyo anozvirumbidza achanzi akatendeka, asi uyo anorumbidzwa naShe.
Not for the [one] himself commending, this [one] is approved, but [the one] whom the Lord commends.
