2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
Ndipeekezya kuti ube aandime muli bumwi bufubafuba. Pesi nkasimpe kuti ulaandime!
2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you in marriage to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
Nkaambo ndili aabbivwe anduwe. Ndikuchitila bbivwe lilaabunaLeza, nkaambo ndakakusyomezya lukwatano kumulumi omwe. Ndakasyomezya kukutondeezya kubantu mbuli nakalindu uumaninide kuli Kkilisito.
3 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Pesi ndilikuyowa kuti muliimwi nzila, aawo mubbi sizibi nakeeneena Eva abusongo bwabumpelenge bwakwe, miyeyo yako ikonzya kusweeka kuzwa kukukomba kusinizizye alimwi kusalala kuliKkilisito.
4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news” which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough.
Nkaambo kuti umwi muntu wasika wakambawuka uumwi Jesu kwiinda ooyo ngutwakakambawuka. Na kuti mwatambula uumbi muuya kwiinda ngumwakatambula kale kana kuti mwatambula limbi ijwi lisiyene kuli eelyo ndimwakatambula kale. Mbuli mbumukkala kamuzibona zintu eezi!
5 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
Nkaambo ndiyeya kuti nsili aansi kababo baambwa kuti mbebatumwa bantu loko.
6 But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
Pesi nikuba kuti tendakayiya zyakwaambuula, tachaambi kuti nsikwe luzibo. Muli zyoonse nzila amuzintu zyoonse twakachita kuti eechi chizibwe kulindinywe.
7 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God’s Good News free of charge?
Ndakabisya na kulibombya kuchitila kuti musumpulwe? Nkaambo ndakamukambawukilamijwi lyaLeza kakutakwe muulo.
8 I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
Ndakabbida zimwi mbungano mukutambula lugwasyo lwabo kuti ndizoomubelekele.
9 When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
Nindakali aandinywe alimwi nkebulide taakwe ngundakalemezya. Nkaambo nzindakali kuponaazyo zyakali kuzwa kubakwesu ibakwaza kuMasedoniya. Kuli zyoonse ndakalibamba kuti nsibi mukuli kulindinywe, alimwi ndiyochita mbubo lyoonse.
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
Mbuli simpe lyaKkilisito mbulili mulindime, ooku kupakala kwangu takukoyoowumuzigwa pe muli amwi masena aaku Akkayiya.
11 Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.
Nkaambonzi? Nkaambo nsimuyandi pe? Leza nguuzi.
12 But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity, that in which they boast, they may be recognized just like us.
Alimwi nzichita ndiyoyinkilila kunembo akuzichita, kuchitila kuti ndikagonke mweenya wababo bayanda mweenya wakujanika kabali mbuli ndiswe muzintu nzibalidundiizya aatala anzizyo.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.
Nkaambo bantu baliboobu mbatumwa babeji alimwi mbabelesi balaalweeno. Balyeena kuti mbatumwa baKkilisito.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
Alimwi eezi tazigambyi pe, nkaambo alakwe Satani ulyeena kuti mungelo wa mumuni.
15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
Tachili chigambyo chipati pe kuti abalabo babelesi bakwe balyeena kuti mbabelesi ba bulumami. Impindu yabo iyooba eezyo zyeendelana amilimo yabo.
16 I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
Ndilaamba alimwi: Takubi muntu uyeya kuti ndili chifubafuba. Pesi kuti mboyeya, munditambule mbuli chifubafuba kuchitila kuti ndipakale buniini.
17 That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
Nzindilikwaamba akupakala ooku kwakudundula - nsili kwaambuula munzila njali kunowambuula aayo pe Mwaami - njindili kuti mbuli chifubafuba.
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
Mbuli kuti bantu biingi bapakala zyeendelana anyama, ambebo ndiyoopakala.
19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
Nkaambo mulabotelwa kubaamwi abantu bafubafuba. Inywe lwenu muli basongo!
20 For you bear with a man if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, or if he strikes you on the face.
Nkaambo muntu umuchita bazike, na wamunyonyoona, wamulya maanu, walisumpula, na kuti wamusinka lubayi kumenso.
21 To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
Ndiyowamba kumawuse eesu kuti twakalilekelela loko akuchita oobo. Anu kuti umwi muntu wapakala - Ndili kwaambula mbuli chifubafuba - Ambebo ndilapakala.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
Mba Hibbulu na? Ambebo mbebede. Mba Izilayeli na? Ambebo mbebede. Mba mazyalane aa Abbulahamu na? Ambebo mbebede.
23 Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.
Mbabelesi baKkilisito na? (Ndili kwaambula anga ndapenga.) Ndiliinda aawo: kumilimu miyumu, muntolongo nyingi, mukuumwa kwiindilide, mukuswanana antenda nyingi ziyosya.
24 Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.
Kuzwa kubaJuda ndakatambula tuli musanu “kunabbwa myoondo makumi one kakugwisigwa omwe.”
25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.
Tutatu ndakawumwa atulamu. Lumwi nketululwa mabwe. Tutatu nkezapukilwa bwaato. Ndakakkala busiku azuba lyomwe aantanganana mulwizi.
26 I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers;
Ndakeenda twiingi nketentuuka milonga, nketentuuka bajayi, nketentuuka kubantu bakulindiswe, nketentuuka kuli bamasi, nketentuuka mugunzi, nketentuuka mulusaka, nketentuuka kulwizi, nketentuuka kuli bakwesu babeji.
27 in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
Ndakabeleka mubuzike akoomba, mumansiku miingi akatali koonwa, munzala amunyota, twiingi kelyimya, mumpeyo amuchintanda.
28 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.
Kusiya kuli zyoonse zimwi, kuli kupengaana kwangu mazuba woonse nkeyeeya aatala ambungano zyoonse.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’t burn with indignation?
Ngwani utakwe nguzu alimwi ime nsibulide nguzu? Ngwani wadadalisigwa, alimwi ime nsipyi?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
Kuti keyelede kupakala, ndiyopakala aatala azezyo zitondeezya kutasima kwangu.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed forever more, knows that I don’t lie. (aiōn g165)
Leza alimwi Wisi waMwaami Jesu, ooyo wakalongezegwa kutamani, ulizi kuti nsili kubeja pe! (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the Damascenes’ city, desiring to arrest me.
Ku Damasikkasi, imuleli munsi lyaMwaami Aletasi wakali kulinda gunzi lyaDamasikkasi kuti andisunge.
33 I was let down in a basket through a window by the wall, and escaped his hands.
Pesi ndakaselezegwa muchizuma kuzwa kumpulunguzyo yabulambo, alimwi ndakafutuka kuzwa kumaboko aakwe.
