2 Ŵakolinto 10
1 Nipele une che Paolo nansyene junguwoneka jwakulitimalika pinguŵa ni ŵanyamwe nambo natalichilaga ni ŵanyamwe nguŵa jwachikali mpela ŵane yakuti kusala. Ngunchondelela kwa chanasa ni umbone wakwe Kilisito.
Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you:
2 Ngunchondelela ngasimundendekasya meje jwakalipa pachinjiika kukwenu pakuŵa ikomboleka chinjiŵa jwa chikali kwa ŵandu ŵakutuganichisya kuti tukutama mpela ŵandu ŵa pachilambo chi.
yea, I beseech you, that I may not when present shew courage with the confidence wherewith I count to be bold against some, which count of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3 Isyene tukutama pachilambo, nambo ngatukumenyana mpela ŵandu ŵa pachilambo yakuti pakumenyana.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh
4 Pakuŵa, yakumenyanilana yetuwe ngaŵa ya pachilambo, nambo gali machili ga Akunnungu gagakukombola kugumula maboma gose ga ŵammagongo, tukusijonanga nganisyo syosye sya unami,
(for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strong holds);
5 ni kugwisya nganisyo ni indu yose yaikulitutumula kuukanila umanyilisi wa Akunnungu, ni kusikamula nganisyo syose kuti sinjitichisye Kilisito.
casting 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;
6 Mwaŵaga ŵa utindimisyo mu kwitichisya pelepo ni pachituŵe chile kunjamuka mundu jwalijose jwakukana kwitichisya.
and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be fulfilled.
7 Ŵanyamwe nkulolesya indu chapasa pe. Ana kwana mundu jwakuliganichisya kuti jwelejo ali jwa Kilisito? Ili yambone, nambo aganichisyeje iyoyo kuti noweji tuli ŵa Kilisito mpela jwelejo yatite kuŵa jwa Kilisito.
Ye look at the things that are before your face. If any man trusteth in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ’s, so also are we.
8 Namose iŵaga mbundile kulilapa ligongo lya ukombole watupele Ambuje nganingola soni pakuŵa ukombole wo uli kwaligongo lya kunlimbisya mchikulupi ni ngaŵa kungwisya ŵanyamwe.
For though I should glory somewhat abundantly concerning our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down), I shall not be put to shame:
9 Ngangusaka nganisye kuti ngusaka kunjogoya ni ikalata yangu.
that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.
10 Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵane akuti, “Ikalata i che Paolo ili yachikali yaili ni maloŵe gakutopela, nambo nsyene jo pakuŵaga noweji akuŵa mundu jwakulepetala, ni pakukunguluka, maloŵe gao gakuŵa gangali chindu.”
For, His letters, they say, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.
11 Mundu jwakuŵecheta yeleyo aimanyilileje kuti, pangali utinda wa yaili mu ikalata tuli tutalichile ni yachituitendekanye twaŵaga pamo ni ŵanyamwe.
Let such a one reckon this, that, what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such [are we] also in deed when we are present.
12 Ngatukuliŵika mu mpingo umo namuno kulilandanya ni ŵele ŵakulilapa achinsyene. Ŵelewo ali ŵakuloŵela, akulipima malinga ni chipimo chao achinsyene ni kulilandanya achinsyene kwa achinsyene.
For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain of them that commend themselves: but they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
13 Uweji ngatukulilapa mwakupelenganya, nambo kulilapa kwetu chikusigalile mu chipimo cha masengo gaatupele Akunnungu, masengo gatukugapanganya kukwenu nombe.
But we will not glory beyond [our] measure, but according to the measure of the province which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even unto you.
14 Kulilapa kwetu nganitupelenganya, pakuŵa patwannyichisye Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito twaliji mmipika jetu.
For we stretch not ourselves overmuch, as though we reached not unto you: for we came even as far as unto you in the gospel of Christ:
15 Nipele ngatukulilapila masengo gapangenye ŵandu ŵane nambo tukulolela kuti, chikulupi chenu chichipunde konjecheka, masengo getu kukwenu chigapunde kwenela malinga ni mipika jatupele Akunnungu.
not glorying beyond [our] measure, [that is], in other men’s labours; but having hope that, as your faith groweth, we shall be magnified in you according to our province unto [further] abundance,
16 Pelepo chitukombole kulalichila Ngani Jambone mu ilambo ine, kwapele chitulilapilile masengo gatupangenye twachinsyene ni ngaŵa masengo gapangenye ŵandu ŵane.
so as to preach the gospel even unto the parts beyond you, [and] not to glory in another’s province in regard of things ready to our hand.
17 Nambo, mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu igakuti pakusala, “Jwakulilapa alilape kwa achila chapangenye Ambuje.”
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
18 Pakuŵa jwakukundikwa ngaŵa mundu jwakulilapa nsyene nambo ajula jwakulapikwa ni Ambuje.
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
