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.
Nene Pauli namwene mwanilolekana kuvya mpoli penivya pamonga na nyenye, nambu nilolekana na mkali panivya patali na nyenye, nikuvayupa neju kwa lipyana na ubwina waki Kilisitu.
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.
Nikuvayupa mkoto kunikita nivya na mkali lukumbi lwe nibwela, muni nina uchakaka nihotola kuvya na mkali kwa voha vala veviholalela kuvya titama chimundu.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;
Chakaka titama pamulima, nambu nakukomana ngondo ngati vandu va pamulima chevitovana.
4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,
Muni, vindu vyatihengela kukomanela ngondo yitu lepi vya chimulima nambu makakala ga Chapanga gegigwisa ngomi za makoko zoha. Tihalabisa mambu goha ga udese,
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,
na kubomola chindu chechimeka chechivikiwi ndava ya kubela umanya Chapanga, tikugakamula maholo goha na kugakita gamuyidikila Kilisitu.
6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.
Mukasindamala mukuyidakila, tete tijitendelekili kuhukumwa kila mundu yoyoha angayidakila.
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.
Nyenye mlola mambu cha kuvala ndu. Wu, avi mundu yoyoha mwaiholalela kuvya mwene ndi mundu wa Kilisitu? Ena! Hinu mewawa atihololela tete kuvya vandu va Kilisitu ngati cheavili mwene.
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,
Hati ngati nimeka neju ndava ya uhotola wetipewili na BAMBU ndava ya kuvasindamalisa nyenye muusadika lepi kubomola, ndava ya lenilo nikola lepi soni.
9 that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
Mbwitu muholalela kuvya nigana kuvayogopesa nyenye ndava ya mayandiku gangu.
10 For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”
Mundu ihotola kujova, “Balua za Pauli zikali na zigegii malovi gegitopa, nambu Pauli mwene peivya pamonga na tete ndi mundu mpoli na hati peilongela malovi gaki ndi ngati lepi chindu.”
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.
Mundu mwaijova chenicho mbanga akumbukayi hoti kuvya mambu goha giwanangana gala gatiyandika mubalua lukumbi pativya kutali, na gala getikita lukumbi pativya na nyenye.
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.
Hinu ngatihotwi lepi kujivika amala kujiwanangisa vandu vala vevakujilumba vene. Vandu vevakujikita kuvya vene ndi chipimu cha kupimila vangi, vandu vevakujiwanangisa vene kwa vene, ndi vayimu.
13 But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
Nambu tete yati timeka lepi neju, kumeka kwenuko yati kwivya kwa chipimu chila cha lihengu leatigotolili Chapanga, lihengu letiyendelela kuhenga mewa kwinu.
14 For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,
Kumeka kwitu tahumbili lepi mibaka yatavikiwi lukumbi lwatabwelili kwinu. Kuvaletela Lilovi la Bwina kumvala Kilisitu.
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,
Hinu, timekela lepi lihengu levakitili vandu vangi, nambu tisadika kuvya sadika yinu iyonjokeseka kukula pagati yinu muchipimu cheativikili Chapanga.
16 so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
Penapo yati tihotola kukokosa Lilovi la Bwina pamulima wungi, patali na nyenye, ndi timekela lihengu litu, lepi kumekela lihengu levakitili vandu vangi pandu pangi.
17 But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
Nambu ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, “Mweimeka amekela gala geahengili BAMBU.”
18 For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
Mundu mweiyidakiliwa lepi yula mweakujilumbalila mwene, nambu mundu yula mwailumbiwa na BAMBU.
