2 VaKorinde 11
1 Ndinovimba kuti muchava nomwoyo murefu zvishoma nokuda kwoupenzi hwangu; asi mava kutozviita kare.
I wish you could bear with me a little in my folly; but yet bear with me:
2 Ndine godo pamusoro penyu negodo raMwari. Ndakakuitai vakavimbika kumurume mumwe chete, kuna Kristu, kuitira kuti ndigozogona kukusvitsai kwaari semhandara yakachena.
for I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 Asi ndinotya kuti sokunyengerwa kwakaitwa Evha nenyoka nemano ayo, ndangariro dzenyu dzingangotsauswa kubva pakururama nokuchena kwomwoyo, pakuzvipira kuna Kristu.
But I fear lest, as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity which pertains to Christ.
4 Nokuti kana mumwe akauya kwamuri achiparidza mumwe Jesu kunze kwaJesu watakaparidza, kana kuti mukagamuchira mumwe mweya wakasiyana nouyo wamakagamuchira, kana rimwe vhangeri rakasiyana neramakagamuchira, munogona kuzvigamuchira zviri nyore kwazvo.
For if he that comes should preach another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or, if you receive another Spirit, which you did not receive, or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you would well bear with him.
5 Asi handifungi kuti ndiri muduku napaduku pose ku“vapostori vanopfuura vamwe vose.”
I count myself indeed to be in no respect inferior to the very greatest of the apostles.
6 Ndingava zvangu ndisinganatsi pakutaura, asi ndine ruzivo. Takanyatsojekesa izvi kwamuri nenzira dzose.
But if I am unpolished in my style of speech, yet I am not so in knowledge. But we have been fully manifested among you in all things.
7 Ndakatadza here zvandakazvininipisa kuitira kuti imi mugokudzwa nokuparidzwa kwevhangeri raMwari kwamuri pachena pasina mutengo?
Have I committed a sin, in making myself lowly, that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel to you without cost?
8 Ndakatorera dzimwe kereke pandakagamuchira rubatsiro kubva kwavari kuitira kuti ndigone kukushumirai.
I robbed other churches, taking wages to do you service: and when I was present with you, and wanted, I was not a burden to any one;
9 Uye pandakanga ndiri pakati penyu ndichishayiwa chimwe chinhu, handina kuva mutoro kuna ani zvake, nokuti hama dzakabva kuMasedhonia dzakandipa zvandaishayiwa. Handina kuda kuva mutoro nenzira ipi zvayo pakati penyu, uye ndicharamba ndichidaro.
for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied my wants; and in every thing I have kept myself from being burdensome to you, and will continue to keep myself.
10 Zvirokwazvo sezvo chokwadi chaKristu chiri mandiri, hakuna munhu mudunhu reAkaya achandidzivisa pakuzvirumbidza uku.
As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting shall not be silenced, in my case, in the regions of Achaia.
11 Seiko? Nokuti handikudei here? Mwari anoziva kuti ndinokudai!
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.
12 Uye ndicharamba ndichiita zvandiri kuita kuti ndishayise nzira kuna avo vanotsvaka mukana wokuti vaenzaniswe nesu pazvinhu zvavanozvirumbidza nazvo.
But what I am doing I will also continue to do, that I may cut off occasion from those who desire an occasion, that in what they boast, they may be found even as we.
13 Nokuti vanhu vakadai ndivo vapostori venhema, varume vanonyengera, vanozvishandura vachizviita vapostori vaKristu.
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ;
14 Uye naizvozvo hazvishamisi, nokuti Satani pachake anozvishandura achizviita mutumwa wechiedza.
and no wonder, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Naizvozvowo hazvishamisi, kana varanda vake vachizvishandura vachizviita varanda vokururama. Magumo avo achava sezvakafanira maitiro avo.
Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves so as to be like the ministers of righteousness; of such, the end shall be according to their works.
16 Ndinopamhidza kuti: Ngakurege kuva nomunhu anonditi ndiri benzi. Asi kana muchidaro, naizvozvo ndigamuchirei sebenzi, kuitira kuti ndigozvirumbidzawo zvishoma.
I say again, let no one think that I am without understanding; but if so, even as one without understanding bear with me, that I also may boast a little.
17 Mukuzvirumbidza pachangu, handisi kutaura sezvinobva kuna She, asi sebenzi.
What I say, I say not according to the Lord, but as in folly, in this same confidence of boasting.
18 Sezvo vazhinji vachizvirumbidza nenzira inoitwa nenyika, neniwo ndichazvirumbidza.
Since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast.
19 Nokuti makava nomwoyo murefu nomufaro kumapenzi sezvo makachenjera!
For it is a pleasure to you to bear with men of no understanding, since you yourselves are wise.
20 Nokuti munoitira mwoyo murefu kunyange munhu wose anokuitai varanda kana anokubirai kana anokutapai kana anokuzvidzai kana anokurovai kumeso.
For you bear it, if one enslave you, if one devour you, if one take from you, if one exalt himself, if one smite you on the face,
21 Ndichizvishora ndinobvuma kuti takanga tisina simba rokuti tiite izvozvo. Zvinotsunga vamwe vose kuti vazvirumbidze pamusoro pazvo, ndinotaura sebenzi, ini ndinotsungawo kuzvirumbidza pamusoro pazvo.
I speak of their reproaches, as if we were weak. In whatever matter any one is bold, (I speak foolishly, ) I also am bold.
22 Ivo vaHebheru here? Neniwo ndiri. Ivo vaIsraeri here? Neniwo ndiri. Ivo zvizvarwa zvaAbhurahama here? Neniwo ndiri.
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they of the posterity of Abraham? So am I.
23 Ivo varanda vaKristu here? Ndava kupenga, kana ndichitaura zvakadai. Ini ndiri muranda wake zvikuru. Ndakashanda zvokuvapfuura, ndakaiswa mutorongo kakawanda kuvapfuura, ndakarohwa zvikuru kwazvo, uye ndakatarisana norufu kazhinji.
Are they ministers of Christ? (I say it foolishly, ) I am above them. In labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often.
24 Kanosvika kashanu ndakarohwa navaJudha shamhu makumi matatu nepfumbamwe.
From the Jews, five times I received forty stripes, save one;
25 Katatu ndakarohwa netsvimbo, kamwe chete ndakatakwa namabwe, katatu ndakaita tsaona nechikepe, ndakapedza usiku humwe namasikati ndiri pagungwa,
three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I have been shipwrecked; a night and a day I spent in the deep.
26 ndakanga ndiri parwendo nguva zhinji. Ndakava panjodzi dzenzizi, panjodzi dzamakororo, panjodzi dzevorudzi rwokwangu, panjodzi dzavaHedheni, panjodzi muguta, napanjodzi murenje, panjodzi mugungwa, napanjodzi pakati pehama dzenhema.
In journeyings often, in perils from rivers, in perils from robbers, in perils from my own race, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the desert, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
27 Ndakabata basa nokutambura uye nguva zhinji ndichishayiwa hope; ndinoziva nzara nenyota uye kushayiwa zvokudya nguva zhinji; chando nokushayiwa chokupfeka.
in weariness and in toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness:
28 Kunze kwaizvozvi zvose, ndinoremedzwa zuva rimwe nerimwe nokurangarira kereke dzose.
besides those things which come upon me from other sources, I have a daily concourse of troubles―my anxiety for all the churches.
29 Ndianiko anoshayiwa simba uye ndikasanzwa kushayiwa simba? Ndianiko anotungamirirwa muchivi uye ndikasarwadziwa mukati mangu?
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I am not incensed?
30 Kana ndichifanira kuzvirumbidza, ndichazvirumbidza pamusoro pezvinhu zvinoratidza utera hwangu.
If I must boast, I will boast in my infirmities.
31 Mwari naBaba vaIshe Jesu, uyo anofanira kurumbidzwa nokusingaperi, anoziva kuti handirevi nhema. (aiōn g165)
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knows that I do not lie. (aiōn g165)
32 MuDhamasiko mubati pasi pamambo Aretasi akaita kuti guta ravaDhamasiko ririndwe achida kuti andisunge.
In Damascus, the governor under Aretas the king, guarded the city of the Damascenes, desiring to apprehend me:
33 Asi ndakaburutswa ndiri mudengu napawindo parusvingo uye ndikapunyuka pamaoko ake.
and through a window I was let down in a basket through the wall, and escaped his hands.
