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.
Une ne Paulo, nene ebalabha huu nyenyekevu na uhugowe uwa Kristi. Nane endihogowe wakati nkendi hwitagalila lwenyu, Nina umalidada hwilimwe wakati nendi uhutali namwe.
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.
Embalabha amwe aje wakati nehwendi pandwemo namwe, sewanza abhe malidadi na hwiyamini hwilini nene. Lelo esebha ehwanza abhe malidadi wakati embakhoma bhala bhabhasebha aje tikhala jinsi eshebele.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;
Antele nkashile tijenda katika belesetikhomana ibho kwa jinsi eyebele.
4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,
Antele endoso zwatilumila akhomani se zwebele. Antele zilina maha ageshi Ngolobhe anankanya engome zwa zihwefwa tee mijadara yetezwa.
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,
Antele tinankanya kila chenye mamlaka gagahwinula ashile amataifa aga Ngolobhe. Tibhomba atekaye shila sebho eyogope hwa Kristi.
6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.
Tipewewe utayari uwa kuadhibu kilo matendo lyasa lihopa mara tu utii abha kamili.
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.
Enya shila shashiliwazi hwitagalila lwenyu. Nkashile yoyonti yasohwa aje umwahale wa Kristi, na hebu ahwikumbuzwe yoyo mwenyewe aje tu shahweli wa Kristi, esho shatili ate antele tili shesho.
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,
Afwanaje hata nkembahwilole hashe tee ahusu mamlaka Ugosi agafumizwe kwajili eyahwiliti abhazenje amwe na sio abhana nkanye sembalole esoni.
9 that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
Sehwanza eli libhone aje embogofwe amwe hwu nkalata zwane.
10 For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”
Shila bhamo abhantu bhayanga, “Enkalata zwane hali na zilinamaha, lelo eshebele umwahale zaifu. Enjengo zwakwe sezihwaziwa atejelezewe.”
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.
Umba abhantu bhenamna enyo bhelewe aje shila shatiyanga unkalata wakati natili hutali, ni lyolilyoli tilishalipandwemo namwe pala.
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.
Setibhale uhutali tee ahwibhonganye tete au ahwilangisye tete na bhala ambao bhuhwisifu bhebho. Lelo nabhahwipama bhebho nab shila muntu wao salinejele.
13 But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
Ate hata shesho setibhalwivune, ashele empaho. Badala yakwe tibhabhombe shesho tu mhati eye mpaho ambayo Ungolobhe atipimie ate empaho yefiha utali uwenyu shauhweli.
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,
Afwanaje setahwiyonjizwezwe. Tete natabhafishiye amwe tali bhahwande afishe uhutali neshe uwenyu ewilombelelo lya Kristi.
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,
Selihwivunile ashile ampaho ahusu embombo ezwa bhanje. Badala yakwe titegemela neshe ulyeteho lyenu shalukula aje ieneo lyenyu elye mbombo libhapanushe tee, antele bado ibhabhe muhati eye mpaho eye lyoli.
16 so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
Titegemela huveli aje tiwezwe alombele endombelelo hata hwenye mikoa zaidi yenyu. Setibhahwikune ahusu embombo yebhombeha katika sehemu ezwamwao.
17 But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
“Antele yoyonti yahwilola katika Gosi.”
18 For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
Hwa maana siyo yola yahwisibitisya yoyo asibitiziwa. Isipokuwa, yoyo ambaye Ugosi ahusibitizwa.
