< 2 Corinthians 12 >

1 It is not expedient for me no doubt to reioyce: for I will come to visions and reuelations of the Lord.
Nambi ntwanga, paliya cikute kucanika mukutwanga sobwe, nomba lino ndayandanga kwamba sha bimboni mboni mbyalanjubululwila Mwami.
2 I know a man in Christ aboue fourteene yeeres agone, (whether he were in the body, I can not tell, or out of the body, I can not tell: God knoweth) which was taken vp into the thirde heauen.
Ndanukungaponga umo muntu walamantwa kwilu ku makumbi abutatu byaka likumi ne bina bilapitipo. Nomba nkandicishi cena na cintu cilico calenshika kacili mumubili, nambi walikuba mumushimu, Lesa mwine eucishi.
3 And I knowe such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I can not tell: God knoweth)
Kayi ndabweshengaponga kwamba ndeti muntuyu walaya mu Paladaiso, nomba kayi nkandicishi cena mpani calikubowa cimboni mboni, Lesa mwine eucishi.
4 How that he was taken vp into Paradise, and heard words which cannot be spoken, which are not possible for man to vtter.
Kayi kopeloko ku Paladaiso walanyumfwa bintu byela kubula kunyumfwika maswi, bintu byela kubula kwambwa ne mulaka wamuntu.
5 Of such a man will I reioyce: of my selfe will I not reioyce, except it bee of mine infirmities.
Neco uyu muntu nampe kutwanga, nteti ntwange pacakame sobwe, nsombi pa kutyompwa kwamubili wakame.
6 For though I woulde reioyce, I should not be a foole, for I will say the trueth: but I refraine, lest any man should thinke of me aboue that hee seeth in me, or that he heareth of me.
Na ndayandanga kutwanga nteko kwambeti ndapusu sobwe, pakwinga ndambanga cakubinga. Nomba nteti ntwange pakwinga nkandayandangeti naumbi ambe bintu bingi palinjame mbyalabono kandibinsa kayi ne kunyumfwa mbyendambanga.
7 And lest I should be exalted out of measure through the aboundance of reuelations, there was giuen vnto me a pricke in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet mee, because I should not be exalted out of measure.
Pacino cindi ndayandanga kwamba sha bintu biyosha mbyendalabona, pakwinga ndalapewa cintu cilyeti munga ceshi kubaba mumubili, ico calikubeti mutumwa wa Satana walatumwa kulinjame kwisa kunkolwesha kwambeti ndicileke kutwanga.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrise, that it might depart from me.
Ndalapaila mankanda atatu kumusenga Lesa kwambeti acifunyemo.
9 And he said vnto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect through weakenesse. Very gladly therefore will I reioyce rather in mine infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
Nomba walankumbuleti, “Ulayandikinga nkumbo shakame, pakwinga ngofu shakame nishinene pacindi ncolatyompwa.” Neco ndakondwa nekutangala cebo ca kutyompwa kwakame kwambeti nyumfwe ngofu sha Klistu shilantabilishinga.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproches, in necessities, in persecutions, in anguish for Christes sake: for when I am weake, then am I strong.
Ndatintila kukutyompwa ne kumatuka ne mubuyumu yumu ne kupenshewa kayi ne makatasho cebo ca Klistu. Pakwinga nkute kunyumfwa ngofu pacindi ncendanyumfunga kutyompwa.
11 I was a foole to boast my selfe: yee haue compelled mee: for I ought to haue bene commended of you: for in nothing was I inferiour vnto the very chiefe Apostles, though I bee nothing.
Ndenshingeti muntu wapusa, nsombi njamwe mulampushikingeco. Njamwe mwela kulesha kushomeka kulinjame, kwambeti nambi paliya ncembele nkandipo panshi cikamba kulyabo “batumwa benu bapelu.”
12 The signes of an Apostle were wrought among you with all patience, with signes, and wonders, and great workes.
Bikankamanisho ne bingashilo byangofu byalikulesheti nde mutumwa ndalikubinsa pakati penu mwamoyo nteka.
13 For what is it, wherein yee were inferiours vnto other Churches, except that I haue not bene slouthfull to your hinderance? forgiue me this wrong.
Nicani ncendalenshila mibungano naimbi ico ncendalabula kumwinshila? Kwamboweti muliya kunyamfwilisha mali? Nanico kamundekelelako!
14 Behold, the thirde time I am ready to come vnto you, and yet will I not be slouthfull to your hinderance: for I seeke not yours, but you: for the children ought not to laye vp for the fathers, but the fathers for the children.
Lino ubu nibulwendo bwacitatu mbondalibambilinga kumufwakashila, nomba nteti nkasengepo ciliconse kulinjamwe sobwe. Pakwinga ndayandanga njamwe ntewo mali enu sobwe. Ee, bana nkabela kulangawila bintu Ishabo, nsombi Ishabo ewela kulangawila bintu banabendi.
15 And I will most gladly bestow, and will be bestowed for your soules: though the more I loue you, the lesse I am loued.
Ngankondwa kubenga bilibyonse byenkute kubikapo ne njame kwambeti ndimunyamfweni. Na ame ndimusuna cikamba, sena amwe ngamunsuna pang'ana.
16 But bee it that I charged you not: yet for as much as I was craftie, I tooke you with guile.
Kayi ngamusuminisheti ndiya kubapo mutolo kulinjamwe sobwe. Nomba naumbi ngawambeti ndalikumufukanya bongo ne kumwikata nkola ya bwepeshi.
17 Did I pill you by any of them whom I sent vnto you?
Munshila ilyeconi? Sena basa bantu mbondalikutuma kulinjamwe, pali naumbi walamubepapo?
18 I haue desired Titus, and with him I haue sent a brother: did Titus pill you of any thing? walked we not in the selfe same spirit? walked we not in the same steppes?
Ndalamusenga Tito kwambeti ese akamufwakashile pamo ne muklistu naumbi. Neye Tito uliya kumubepapo sobwe, Sena twense nkatwali kwinsa bintu mumushimu umo nekukonkela nshila imo imo?
19 Againe, thinke yee that wee excuse our selues vnto you? we speake before God in Christ. But wee doe all thinges, dearely beloued, for your edifying.
Mpani mulayeyengeti kwangowa kulitabilisha tobene cindi conseci Sobwe! Tulambanga mbuli Klistu ncela kuyandeti twambe pamenso pa Lesa. Mobanse bame, ciliconse ncetulenshinga nicakumunyamfwilisha.
20 For I feare least when I come, I shall not finde you such as I would: and that I shalbe found vnto you such as ye woulde not, and least there be strife, enuying, wrath, contentions, backebitings, whisperings, swellings and discord.
Nkute buyowa pakwinga ndayeyengeti ndakesa ninkacaneti mwapusanako nencondalikuyandeti mube, nenjamwe nimukacaneti ndapusana ne ncemulayandangeti mbe. Ndayeyengeti ninkacanowa kamulondola nekwinshilana bufuba, kupya myoyo, kuliyanda, butungushi, kutukanishana kulisumpula nekubula lumuno mu bwikalo bwenu.
21 I feare least when I come againe, my God abase me among you, and I shall bewaile many of them which haue sinned already, and haue not repented of the vncleannesse, and fornication, and wantonnesse which they haue committed.
Nkute buyowa cebo cakwambeti cindi nceti nkayande kwisa Lesa nakambweshe panshi pakati penu. Pakwinga mucipitilisha kwinsa bintu byabula kululama, mbyemwabula kuleka byeti bikandilishe pabantu bangi balepisha batana baleka lunkumbwa, bupombo kayi nebufule ne cendo cabo caipa.
