2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.
I me, Paulusi, ni mwine ni li kumbilila kwenu, cha kuliboza hansi ni lato lya Keresite. Ni li bozekeza hansi hate nina habusu bwenu kono ni chita cha kukola haiba nina kule nanwe.
2 Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.
Ni mikumbila kuti, heti nina hamwina nanwe, kete ni sake kukola cha kulisepa ni mwine. Kono ni zeza kuti ka nibe ni kukola ha ni ku li kangisana babo bazumina kuti iswe tuhala chakuya che nyama.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh;
Ni ha kubabulyo ni ha tuyenda che nyama, ka tuhambilizi inkondo kuya che nyama.
4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,
Chokuti zilwiso ze tu lwa kazo kahena ze nyama. Kono, beena ziho zijolola zi sinya sinya zi ba zimbulukite. Ka kwina che zi wola kuleta inkani za kuchengelela.
5 throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
Naswe bulyo tusinya chonse chihanzi chizimana kulwisa inzibo ye Ireeza. Tuhinda ni kusumina mihupulo yonse i sakuteki Keresite.
6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.
Mi tu libakanya ku ha inkoto kwi kezo zonse zi sa kuteki, haho bulyo ikute lyenu ha chi lye zuzilizwa.
7 Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.
Mulole chi bonahala sinte habusu bwenu. Haiba zumwi chalikupula kuti chili wa Keresite mu muleke a lihupulise iye mwine kuti sina iye ha li wa Keresite chobulyo mutwina tubonse.
8 For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,
Chokuti ni ha ni litundumuna kanini cha bungi kuamana ni inkamaiso, i yo Simwine a va ihi chetu kuti tu mizake kono isinyi kumisinya, kete ne ni swabe.
9 that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
Ka ni saki kuti kubonahale chokuti ni mitiiza cha mañolo angu.
10 For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”
Chokuti bamwi bantu ba ti, “Mañolo a kwe a hambiliza ni ziho, kono cha mazimo u fokwele. Manzwi a kwe kaswanelwi ku tekelezwa.”
11 Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
Musiye a bo bantu balemuhe kuti sina mu twikalile mu manzwi a mañolo e tu ni ha tu sa kwina kono mwete ne tubile mu zimpangaliko zetu ha te ne tube uko.
12 For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
Ka tuyendi kule sina kulikunganya iswe tubene kwetu kapa cha ku lilikanyisa kwetu na bo bakwete ku li litemba a bo bene. Kono ha ba bali ku li likanyisa a bo bene cha zumwi ni zumwi ni ku li likanyisa kwa bo zumwi ni zumwi, kakwina chebezi.
13 But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
Iswe, ni ha kwinabulyo, kete tu li tundubule cha kuhitiliza intikanyo. Kusi bulyo, ka tuchite bulyo mwi ntikanyo ya Ireeza ya ba tuhi, intikanyo i wola kusika kule u ko kwenu.
14 For we do not stretch ourselves too much, as though we did not reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,
Mi kana tu ba lihitilizi tubene ha twiza kusika kwenu. Njiswe ba ba tangi lwetanzi kusika u ko kwenu che ivangeli ya Keresite.
15 not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,
Kana tu ba litundumuni chakuhitiliza intikanyo chakuya cha mitendo ya bamwi. Kusi bulyo, tusepa kuti sina intumelo yenu ha ili kuti chibaka chetu cha mutendo kachikule ahulu, mi ni ku ba muintikanyo mu iswanelela.
16 so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
Tu sepa chobuti, tu ka kutaze ivangeli mane ni mu zikiliti zi mi hitilile. Ke te tu li tundumune cha mutendo u chitahala muzibaka zimwi.
17 But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
“Kono musiye u zo yo litundumuna, a li tindumuna mwa Simwine.”
18 For it is not he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
Chokuti ka njieye uzo u lipaka iye mwine yo zumininwe. Kusi bulyo, njozo mwine u pakwa kwa Simwine.
