2 VaKorinde 12
1 Ndinofanira kuramba ndichizvirumbidza. Kunyange zvisina zvazvinobatsira, ndichapfuurira mberi ndigotaura pamusoro pezviratidzo nezvakazarurwa zvaShe.
To boast (it behooves [me], *N(K)O*) not (is it profitable indeed, *N(K)O*) I will go on (however *N(k)O*) to visions and revelations of [the] Lord.
2 Ndinoziva mumwe munhu ari muna Kristu, uyo makore gumi namana akapfuura akakwidzwa kudenga rechitatu. Kana zvakaitwa mumuviri kana kunze kwomuviri handizivi, Mwari ndiye anoziva.
I know a man in Christ ago years fourteen — whether in [the] body not I know, or out of the body not I know, God knows — having been caught up such a man until [the] third heaven.
3 Uye ndinoziva kuti munhu uyu, kana akanga ari mumuviri kana kuti akanga asiri mumuviri handizivi, asi Mwari ndiye anoziva,
And I know such a man — whether in [the] body or (out of *N(k)O*) the body, not I know, God knows —
4 akakwidzwa kuparadhiso. Akanzwa zvinhu, zvinhu zvisingatsananguriki namashoko, zvinhu zvisingabvumirwi kuti munhu ataure.
that he was caught up into Paradise and he heard inexpressible declaration which not being permitted to man to speak.
5 Ndichazvirumbidza pamusoro pomunhu akadai, asi handingazvirumbidzi pachangu, kunze kwoutera hwangu.
Concerning such a man I will boast, concerning however myself not I will boast only except in the weaknesses (of mine; *K*)
6 Kunyange dai ndikasarudza kuzvirumbidza, handingavi benzi nokuti ndinenge ndichitaura chokwadi. Asi ndinorega zvangu, kuitira kuti pashayikwe munhu angafunga kuti ndiri mukuru kupfuura zvandinoita kana zvandinotaura.
If for I shall desire to boast, not I will be a fool; [the] truth for I will be speaking; I refrain however lest anyone to me myself may credit more than what he sees in me, or hears anything of me
7 Kuti ndirege kunyanya kuzvikudza nokuda kwoukuru kwazvo hwezvandakazarurirwa, ndakapiwa munzwa munyama yangu, mutumwa waSatani, kuti unditambudze.
and the by surpassingness of the revelations. (Therefore *NO*) that not I may become conceited, was given to me a thorn in [my] flesh, a messenger of Satan that me he may buffet so that not I may become conceited.
8 Katatu ndakakumbira kuna Ishe kuti aubvise pandiri.
For this three times the Lord I begged that it may depart from me.
9 Asi iye akati kwandiri, “Nyasha dzangu dzakakukwanira, nokuti simba rangu rinozadziswa muutera.” Naizvozvo ndichanyanya kuzvirumbidza pamusoro poutera hwangu, kuitira kuti simba raKristu rigova pamusoro pangu.
And He has said to me; Suffices you the grace of Mine; the for power (of mine *K*) in weakness (is finished. *N(k)O*) Most gladly therefore rather will I boast in the weaknesses of mine, so that may rest upon me myself the power of Christ.
10 Ndokusaka, nokuda kwaKristu ndichifara muutera, mukutukwa, mumatambudziko, munhamo, nomukuomerwa. Nokuti kana ndine utera, ipapo ndipo pandine simba.
Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions (and *N(k)O*) difficulties for Christ; when for I may be weak then strong I am.
11 Ndakazviita benzi, asi imi ndimi makandisundira ikoko. Ndaifanira kunge ndichirumbidzwa nemi, nokuti handisi muduku duku pakati pa“vapostori vanopfuura vamwe vose,” kunyange zvangu ndisiri chinhu.
I have become a fool (boasting; *K*) you yourselves me compelled. I myself for was being obliged by you to have been commended; [In] no[thing] for was I inferior to those most eminent most eminent apostles, if even no [thing] I am.
12 Zvinhu zvinoratidza upostori, zviratidzo, zvishamiso namabasa esimba, zvakaitwa pakati penyu nokutsungirira kukuru.
The indeed signs of the apostle were performed among you in all perseverance, (in *k*) signs (both *no*) and in wonders and in miracles.
13 Ko, imi makanga muri vaduku sei kune dzimwe kereke, kunze kwokuti ndakanga ndisiri mutoro pakati penyu? Ndiregererei pakutadza uku!
In what for is it that you were inferior beyond the rest [of the] churches, only except that myself I myself not did burden you? do forgive me wrong this!
14 Zvino ndagadzirira kukushanyirai kechitatu, uye handichazovi mutoro kwamuri, nokuti zvandinoda kwamuri haisi pfuma yenyu asi imi. Pamusoro pezvo vana havafaniri kuchengetera vabereki, asi vabereki ndivo vanofanira kuchengetera vana.
Behold third time (this *no*) ready I am to come to you and not I will burden (you; *k*) not for I seek what [is] yours but you. Not for ought the children for the parents to treasure up but the parents for the children;
15 Saka naizvozvo ndichafara zvikuru kuti ndipedze zvose zvandinazvo nokuzvipedzawo ini pachangu nokuda kwenyu. Kana ndichikudai zvakanyanya, mungandida zvishoma here?
I myself now most gladly will spend and I will be utterly spent for the souls of you, If (even *k*) more abundantly you (loving *NK(o)*) (less *N(k)O*) I am loved!
16 Ngazvive saizvozvo, nokuti ndakanga ndisiri mutoro pakati penyu. Asi zvandakanga ndine njere, ndakakubatai namano!
it should be however, I myself not did burden you; but being crafty by trickery you I caught.
17 Ndakakutorerai chinhu here kubudikidza navarume vandakatuma kwamuri?
Surely not any of whom I have sent to you, through him did I exploit you?
18 Ndakurudzira Tito kuti auye kwamuri uye ndatumira hama yedu pamwe chete naye. Tito haana kukutorerai chinhu, akakutorerai here? Hatina kufamba nomweya mumwe chete here uye tikatevera nzira imwe chete?
I urged Titus [to go] and sent with [him] the brother; surely not ever did exploit you Titus? Surely in the same spirit did we walk? Not in the same steps?
19 Makanga muchizvifunga here nguva yose iyi kuti takanga tichizvidavirira? Takanga tichitaura pamberi paMwari savaya vari muna Kristu; uye zvose zvatinoita, vadikani, tinozviita kuti musimbiswe.
(Previously *N(K)O*) you have been thinking that to you we are presenting a defense. (before *N(k)O*) (*k*) God in Christ we speak. but all things, beloved, for your edification.
20 Nokuti ndinotya kuti pandichauya kwamuri handingakuwanei muri zvandinoda kuti muve, uye mungandiwana ndisiri zvamunonditarisira kuti ndive. Ndinotya kuti kana ndauya kwamuri zvimwe ndingawana pakati penyu paine gakava, godo, kutsamwa kukuru, kupesana, kucherana, makuhwa, manyawi nenyonganiso.
I fear for lest perhaps having come not such as I wish I may find you, and I myself and I myself may be found by you such as not you do wish, lest perhaps (a quarrel, jealousy, *N(k)O*) anger, contentions slander, gossip, conceit, disorder,
21 Ndinotya kuti kana ndauya kwamuri zvakare, Mwari wangu achandininipisa pamberi penyu, uye ndicharwadziwa nokuda kwavazhinji vakaita zvivi kare uye vasina kutendeuka kubva pakusachena kwavo, chivi choupombwe noutera hwavakaita.
lest again (when was coming *N(k)O*) (I *no*) (he may humble *NK(o)*) me the God, of mine before you, and I may mourn over many of those having sinned before and not having repented of the impurity and of sexual immorality and of sensuality that they have practiced.
