2 Vakolinto 11
1 poope nambe nijova hwene nilin'jasu nisuuma mhumhulikisie, looli muvwa kyang'haani, muli nu lugudo nuune.
If only you would bear with me for a bit in my foolishness! Yes, do bear with me!
2 une nili nikivavilisi numue, ikivavilisi iki kihuma kwa Nguluve, ulwakuva muli ndavule umhinja juno naamanyile umughoosi, juno nikan'tavwile kutolua nu mu ghoosi juno ghwe Kilisite.
I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy, because I promised you in marriage to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
3 neke lino nikwoghopa kuuti, ndavule uEefa vule alyasyangilue ni njoka jila in'sumbufu, najumue kyande musyangua, mukuvuleka uvugholofu nu lughano lwinu ulwa kyang'haani kwa Kilisite.
But I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds will be led astray from simple devotion to Christ.
4 ulwakuva ndepoonu ikwisa umuunhuu ujunge kupulisia uYeesu ujunge, juno usue natukampulisie. nambe mukumwupila uMhepo ujunge, juno na ghwe juno mukupiile kulyusue, nambe mukwupila imhola ijingi, jino namukwupiile kuhuma kulyusue. mungigude ku isio, kuva lukwiliine!
For if someone comes to you and preaches a different message about Jesus than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit than the one you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you bear with it well enough.
5 une nakwekuti nili n'debe kukila vuo vano vitambulua vasung'hua vavaha.
For I consider myself to be in no way inferior to these “super-apostles.”
6 neke lino nambe nanivulanisivue kudalikila, uvukagusi vwango vukome. tuhufisie uluo kulyumue mu sooni sino tuvombile, kange vukagulike kulyumue.
I may be untrained in speech, but I do not lack knowledge; indeed, in every way we have been made known to you in everything.
7 asi, nikavombile fivi pano nikajisisie mu lwa kupulisia imhola inofu ija Nguluve kulyumue, kuuti umue mughinisivue?
Did I commit a sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?
8 ye nivomba imbombo kulyumue, nupilagha ulutango kuhuma kufipugha ifingi ifya vitiki. mu uluo nikaale hwene nikuunya ifiinu fwave, neke nivatange umue.
I “robbed” other churches by receiving support from them in order to serve you!
9 un'siki ye nili palikimo numue, pano naghiluagha nanikaale n'sigho kwa muunhu, ulwakuva avitiki vano vakahumile ku Makedonia vakamheliile fino nilonda. mu uluo nikaale nikulolelela kuuti nileke kuuva n'sigho kulyumue, kange nifikulolelelagha.
When I was with you and in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.
10 ndavule uvwakyanghaani vwa kilisite vule vulivuo mun'kate mulyune, nakwale nambe jumo mulikaaja lwoni ilya Akaya, juno kya ikusigha kukughinia vwimila imhola iji.
As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.
11 lwa kiki? ulwakuva nanivaghanile? uNguluve akagwile kuuti nivaghanile.
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
12 nifivombagha ndavule nivomba lino, kuuti avasung'hua avuo vano viiti ve vavaha, vakunue ikya kughinia kuuti nivomba ndavule usue.
But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may deny any opportunity to those who want to be regarded as our equals in what they boast about.
13 ulwakuva avaanhu avuo vasung'hua vavudesi, ve vavombi avasyangi, vikuviika hwene vasung'hua va Kilisite.
For such men are false apostles and deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
14 mu uluo natudegha, ulwakuva naju Setano jujuo ikuviika hwene nyamhola ghwa lumuli.
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
15 kange natudegha pano voope avavombi vaake vikuviika hwene vavombi vagholofu. uvusililo vwake vilikwupila sino siling'hiine ni mbombo saave.
Therefore it is no great surprise if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be according to their works.
16 nijova kange, napeangavisaghe umuunhu ghweni juno isagha kuuti, une nilin'jaasu. neke nambe mwiti nilin'jaasu, nikuvasuuma mhumhulikisie, neke najune nighinue padebe.
I repeat: Let no one consider me to be a fool. But if you do, receive me just as you would a fool, so that I too may boast a little.
17 amasio ghano nijova lino aghakughinia, nanilaghilue nu Nguluve, looli nijova hwene muunhu n'jaasu.
What I say in this confidence of boasting, I am not saying in accordance with the Lord, but as a fool.
18 ulwakuva vinga vikughinia vwimila isa m'bili, najue nighinie.
Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast.
19 umue muli nu luhala, fyenambe mukuguda na kukuvakunda nu lukeelo avaanhu avajaasu.
For you gladly bear with fools since you are so wise!
20 mukuguda na kukun'kunda nambe umuunhu juno angakuviike mu vukami, nave ipelela kubaghulana n'kate mulyumue, nave ikuvatumila umue ku luvumbulilo lwa mwene, nambe ikughinia na kukuvavapula ku maaso.
You bear with it if anyone enslaves you, devours you, takes advantage of you, exalts himself, or hits you in the face.
21 nivona soni kujova kuuti pe usue tukaale vavotevote kuleka kuvomba isio. lino nave kwale umuunhu ghweni juno ikughinia - nijova hwene nilin'jaasu - najuune ninoghiile kukughinia.
To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone else dares to boast about—I am speaking like a fool—I also dare to boast about.
22 asi! aveene vaYahudi? najune nili muYahudi kikola kya Abulahamu? najune nili kikola kya Abulahamu.
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
23 asi! aveene vavombi va Kilisite? (nijova hwene nihasing'hinie uluhala.) une neene m'bombi ghwa Kilisite kukila aveene. une nighimbilue kuvoma imbombo kukila, ke kinga nidindilue mu ndinde, ke kinga nitovilue kyongo. kange ke kinga navisagha mu lutalamu ulwa kufua.
Are they servants of Christ? (I am speaking like I am out of my mind!) I am even more so, with far more labors, with beatings beyond measure, with far more imprisonments, and often facing death.
24 nitovilue na vaYahudi ing'hwego fijigho fitatu nabusika lubale, nivombilue uluo
Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.
25 kahaano. nikopilue ning'hwegho katatu. nitovilue kamo na mavue. nikulwike katatu mu ngalava. nikikalile mu nyanja pakilo na pamwisi.
Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I spent in the open sea.
26 ke kinga pano nakyulagha, navisagha mulutalamu ulwa fikogha, mulutalamu ulwa vahiiji avabudi, mulutalamu kuhuma kuvajango, mu lutalamu ulwa vano navitiki, mulutalamu ulwa mulikaaja, mulutalamu ulwa kulihaka, mulutalamu ulwa mu nyanja, mulutalamu luno luhuma ku vanyalukoloavadesi.
I have often been on journeys, exposed to dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers at sea, and dangers among false brothers.
27 nivombile imbombo inhalamu na kupumuka ke kinga ninoghonile maaso, nipumwike ni njala ni kyumilua, ke kinga nikalile kisila kulia, na kukukala ku mhepo na kuuva kisila mhenda.
I have endured labor and hardship, many sleepless nights, and hunger and thirst. I have often gone without food and have been cold due to a lack of sufficient clothing.
28 palikimo nisio sooni, jaatu nisagha vwimila ifipugha ifya vitiki.
Apart from these external things, there is my daily burden: my concern for all the churches.
29 nave jumonga m'botevote, najuune nikupulika m'botevote. nave jumonga van'kuvisie najuune niiva muvuvafi.
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
30 nave lunoghiile, nikughinia vwimila uvuvotevote vwango.
If I must boast, I will boast about the things that show my weakness.
31 uNguluve nu Nhaata ghwa Mutwa Yeesu juno anoghiie kughinisivua ifighono fyoni, akagwile kuutinanijova vudesi. (aiōn g165)
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. (aiōn g165)
32 ye nili mu likaaja lya Damesiki, umulongosi juno akalongosiagha ikighavo kino kyale mu vutwa vwa Ntwa uAleta, alyavikile avaloleleli mu likaaja ilio kuuti vang'hole.
In Damascus the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of the Damascenes, wanting to arrest me,
33 looli avaanhu vamonga vakanyisia mu kiivo kukilila pa lidilisa lino lyale mu luvumba nikakuluka kukolua
but I was let down in a basket through a window in the city wall and escaped from his hands.
