2 Corinthians 12
1 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast, but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Ilazimisya awivhune, lelo nahamo haha wonjelela nilwo. Ishi iwendelela insivhozyani na gafunuliwe afume humwanya wa Bwana.
2 I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago—whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows.
Uhumanya muntu omo katika Kristu unu amaha kumi na naganji ganni gagashi shilile kashele shimbele au huzi yebele, anisi minye, Ungulubhi amenye iyanyakulima humwanya wingo imwanya iyatatu.
3 I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows),
Namanya huje umuntu onu khamaimba shimbeli— au hunzi anisaiminye—
4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
afhulilwe abhale humwanya hadi mupaladiso na nahuve amabhwo amiza sana bha bhantu yayandi agayanje.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
Wali kwa ajiyayo ivuna. Lelo khanine nimwe nesivuna. Lelo alingane nusafuwani.
6 For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.
Khashele iwaza wivune, aghashele iwaza wivune, sanabha lema eshomana ninzanga ayanje uwanaluooli. Lelo imbaleshe evune, asiwepo uwansivhila shinje wigo gabhoneha muhati au gala gabhabhuvwa afume hulini.
7 By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
Sigaiza wivune alengane nengoo gaga vfumile ighafwananana na manjele. Wisho sagaimbavhe mbili gwani ihabhomba nusentano ashambulila ani, aje engande galuhane insawivune.
8 Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
Mala hatatu ihapepeha wa Bwana wili, angadahavhe wao, wavhe nashani.
9 He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
Wope ahambula, “Uwihaziwa niwani uyile kwajiliyaliwe, wahuje inguvhu iwobwa huwinu. Isho, ihazasana awivhune elingane uwinu wanii ili ishi uwezo wa Kristi uwezye akhale pamwanya palini.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
Phepoiwezya kwaajili ya Kristi, afwatane nuvhinu namaligo, naimba nishilavhe, nishishisiliha winu, antele imba nguvu.
11 I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
Anindilemai amwe mwa mwa mukandinizye shijanja, wagawe isumwangwa namwe. Pipipo nsali mwanasana wio awawitwa vhatumwa— wiza, hata kama anisaga initwe hantu.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
Ishi manyilo shalwoli shatumwa nzyambishe pahati napati hati pinyu na hutabhu, imanyilo namanjele ni mbombo ingosi.
13 For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
Nishibhu nri mwali bha muhimu bhansi hani kulinko umwafutile umwasagile, pipo lelo sihali lizigo hulimwi? Mu hobhoshe hwilwo!
14 Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Enyi! ane inditayali awhinze hulimwi mala yatatu. Sihabhazigo hulimwi, pipo siwanza ahantu hahonti hulimwi. Iwaza aje amwi. Pipo awana hawaziwa abhavhishe bhunto kwa ajili ya pafhi. Bhabha mbawanzawa abhishe imbuto.
15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
Ihaimoga hani etumile natumilwe kwaajili yimoyo nginyu. Khamba imbaganile hani iwaziwa angane hashe?
16 Even so, I myself didn’t burden you. But you might say that being crafty, I caught you with deception.
Lelo nishi shashirire, sigaiha wilishile. Lelo pipo indijanja sana, ani nihakhente amweindhi nishi yabha gahusovhusana, ani nibha khite awe ishi indhi nishi yabhajile hujanja.
17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of those whom I have sent to you?
Ishi ehejile wibhombele faida wayahyuthi witumile hulimwi?
18 I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit? Didn’t we walk in the same steps?
Imwinishe u Tito ahweze hulimwi, ihi hatuma uholo uwinhi palishimo nao. Lelo Tito awa bhabha mbela faida amwi? Lelo, satajenda lalila? Lelo satajenda na magaga getu gagala?
19 Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
Mumanya isho huje awalilo hanti iha tawiyumilaga ntinti hulimwi? Witalila lwa Ngulubhi, na katika Kristi, talitu yanga shila siku shila wa muntu twabhulanga abhamanyizyezye amwi.
20 For I am afraid that perhaps when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire, that perhaps there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,
Lelo ibhogopa huje piha iinza ama izha ibhaga amwe nishi pinsu ngwa. Lelo ibhogopa uje mugawezya asinte nanaje aani ni nishi pamusungwa. Isho gaishiwogopa huje hugawa nayangane, ukelo ulipuhanilyoyo anyonwe zya munyipuya ubima afasi amaseho ivigosi namao.
21 that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness, sexual immorality, and lustfulness which they committed.
Iwogopa huje piibhuya na tena Ngulubhi wani agawezya eniswe witazi lwinyu. Iwogopa ingawezya avitililwe nahwinji ihi mho abhombabhivhi shahusili ishi. Nio bhasambile i vantu, nu malaya agabhomba.
