2 Korintos 10

1 Aniga qudhayda oo Bawlos ah waxaan idinku baryayaa qabownimada iyo raxmadda Masiixa, anigoo is-hoosaysiiya markaan dhexdiinna joogo, laakiin xaggiinna geesi ku ah markaan idinka maqnahay.

Now, I, Paul, make a personal appeal to you by the meekness and gentleness of the Christ – I who, ‘in your presence, am humble in my bearing towards you, but, when absent, am bold in my language to you’ –

2 Laakiin waxaan idinka baryayaa inaanan anigu markaan joogo geesi ku ahaan hubaashaas aan u malaynayo inaan geesi ku ahaado xagga kuwa nagu tirinaya inaannu sida jidhka ku soconno.

I implore you not to drive me to ‘show my boldness,’ when I do come, by the confident tone which I expect to have to adopt towards some of you, who are expecting to find us influenced in our conduct by earthly motives.

3 Maxaa yeelay, in kastoo aannu jidhka ku soconno, sida jidhka uma dagaallanno,

For, though we live an earthly life, we do not wage an earthly war.

4 waayo, hubka dagaalkayagu ma aha xagga jidhka, laakiin xoog bay leeyihiin Ilaah hortiisa in qalcado lagu dumiyo.

The weapons for our warfare are not earthly, but, under God, are powerful enough to pull down strongholds.

5 Waxaannu baabbi'innaa murannada, iyo wax kasta oo sarreeya oo aqoonta Ilaah iska sarraysiiya, oo fikir kasta maxbuus baannu ka dhignaa, si uu Masiix u addeeco,

We are engaged in confuting arguments and pulling down every barrier raised against the knowledge of God. We are taking captive every hostile thought, to bring it into submission to the Christ,

6 annagoo u diyaar ah inaannu ka aarsanno caasinimo oo dhan markii ay addeeciddiinnu kaamil noqoto.

and are fully prepared to punish every act of rebellion, when once your submission is complete.

7 Waxaad eegaysaan waxa idin hor yaal. Haddii qof uun isku hubo inuu ka mid yahay kuwa Masiix, midkaasi mar kale isaga qudhiisu ha ka fiirsado in, siduu isagu uga mid yahay kuwa Masiix, aannu annaguna uga mid nahay.

You look at the outward appearance of things! Let anyone, who is confident that he belongs to Christ, reflect, for himself, again on the fact – that we belong to Christ no less than he does.

8 Waayo, in kastoo aan si badan ugu faanayo amarkayaga uu Rabbigu noo siiyey inaannu idinku dhisno ee aanu noo siin inaannu idinku duminno, weliba layma ceebayn doono.

Even if I boast extravagantly about our authority – which the Lord gave us for building up your faith and not for overthrowing it – still I have no reason to be ashamed.

9 Tan waxaan u idhi inaanan u ekaan sidii anigoo warqadahayga idinku cabsiinaya.

I say this so that it doesn’t seem as if I am trying to overawe you by my letters.

10 Waayo, waxay yidhaahdaan, Warqadihiisu culays iyo xoog bay leeyihiin, laakiin joogidda jidhkiisu way tabardaran tahay, oo hadalkiisana waa la fududaystaa.

For people say ‘His letters are impressive and vigorous, but his personal appearance is insignificant and his speaking contemptible.’

11 Kaasoo kale ha ogaado in sidaannu xagga hadalka warqadaha ku nahay markaannu maqan nahay, aannu xagga falimaha ku nahay markaannu joogno.

Let such a person be assured of this – that our words in our letters show us to be, when absent, just what our deeds will show us to be, when present.

12 Waayo, kuma dhacno inaannu isku tirinno ama isu ekaysiinno kuwa is-ammaana. Laakiin iyaga qudhooda oo isku qiyaasaya qudhooda oo isu ekaysiinaya qudhooda waa garaadlaawayaal.

We have not indeed the audacity to class or compare ourselves with some of those who indulge in self-commendation! But, when such persons measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they show a want of wisdom.

13 Isu faanin mayno si qiyaastayada dhaafsiisan, laakiin sida ay tahay qiyaasta Ilaah noo qaybiyey inay qiyaas ahaato, si aannu idiin soo gaadhno.

We, however, will not give way to unlimited boasting, but will confine ourselves to the limits of the sphere to which God limited us, when he permitted us to come as far as Corinth.

14 Waayo, annaga qudhayadu si dhaafsiisan isugu kala bixin mayno sidii annagoo aan idin soo gaadhin; waayo, xataa idinka ayaannu idiinla nimid injiilka Masiix,

For it is not the case, as it would be if we were not in the habit of coming to you, that we are exceeding our bounds! Why, we were the very first to reach you with the good news of the Christ!

15 annagoo aan si dhaafsiisan uga faanayn hawlihii dadka kale, laakiin rajo u leh intuu rumaysadkiinnu korayo inaannu aad iyo aad ugu weynaan doonno dhexdiinna sida soohdintayada ah,

Our boasting, therefore, is not unlimited, nor does it extend to the labours of others; but our hope is that, as your faith grows, our influence among you may be very greatly increased – though still confined to our sphere –

16 si aannu injiilka ugu wacdinno meelaha idinka shisheeya oo aanan ku faanin waxa laga diyaariyey qof kale soohdintiisa.

So that we will be able to tell the good news in the districts beyond you, without trespassing on the sphere assigned to others, or boasting of what has been already done.

17 Kii faanaa, Rabbiga ha ku faano.

Let anyone who boasts make their boast of the Lord.

18 Ma aha ka qudhiisa ammaana ka loo bogaa, laakiin waa ka uu Rabbigu ammaano.

For it is not those who commend themselves that stand the test, but those who are commended by the Lord.
