2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
Mbasaba mungumiikirizeeko mu busirusiru bwange obutono, weewaawo mungumiikirize.
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 Messiah.
Mbakwatirwa obuggya, obuggya bwa Katonda, kubanga naboogereza omusajja omu, nga muli mbeerera zennyini, ne mbawaayo eri Kristo;
3 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Havah in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah.
kyokka neeraliikirira nnyo nga ntya nti si kulwa nga mulimbibwa nga Kaawa bwe yalimbibwa omusota ne muwaba mu birowoozo byammwe okuva mu bwetoowaze n’obutukuvu obuli mu Kristo.
4 For if he who comes preaches another Yeshua whom we didn’t proclaim, 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.
Bwe wabaawo omuntu ajja n’ababuulira Yesu omulala gwe tutabuulira, oba ne mufuna omwoyo omulala, gwe mutafunanga, oba ne mubuulirwa Enjiri endala gye mutabuulirwanga, mubigumiikiriza.
5 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best emissaries.
Kubanga ndowooza ng’abatume abakulu ennyo tebalina kye bansinza.
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.
Kubanga newaakubadde nga siri mumanyirivu mu kwogera, naye si mu kutegeera, wabula mu ngeri yonna twaboolesa ebintu byonna.
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?
Oba nasobya bwe netoowaza mulyoke mugulumizibwe, bwe nabuulira Enjiri ya Katonda ey’obwereere?
8 I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
Nanyaga ekkanisa endala, kubanga zampeerezanga ensimbi ne nzikozesa nga ndi nammwe ndyoke mbaweereze,
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.
era bwe nnali nammwe ne mbaako bye neetaaga, ssaazitoowerera muntu yenna kubanga abooluganda abaava e Makedoniya bampanga byonna bye nnali neetaaga, ne neekuuma nnyo obutabazitoowerera mu buli kintu, era nzija kwongera okwekuuma bwe ntyo.
10 As the truth of Messiah is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
Ng’amazirna ga Kristo bwe gali mu nze, okwenyumiriza kuno tekujja kuziyizibwa mu nze mu bitundu bya Akaya.
11 Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.
Lwaki? Olw’okubanga sibaagala? Katonda amanyi nga mbaagala.
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 recognised just like us.
Naye nzija kweyongera okukola nga bwe nkola ndyoke nziggyewo omukisa eri abo abaagala okukozesa omukisa ogwo abaagala okulabika nga ffe mu kwenyumiriza kwabwe.
13 For such men are false emissaries, deceitful workers, masquerading as Messiah’s emissaries.
Abantu ng’abo batume baabulimba, era bakozi baabukuusa, nga beefuula abatume ba Kristo.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
Naye ekyo tekyewuunyisa, kubanga Setaani yeefuula nga malayika ow’omusana.
15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
Noolwekyo abamuweereza bwe beefuula ng’abaweereza b’obutuukirivu tekitwewuunyisa. Ku nkomerero bagenda kubonerezebwa ng’ebikolwa byabwe biri.
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.
Nziramu okubagamba nti omuntu yenna aleme kundowooza kuba musirusiru; kyokka ne bwe mundowooza okuba omusirusiru, munsembeze, nange neenyumirizeeko katono.
17 That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
Kaakano bye njogera Mukama si yandagidde okubyogera, wabula neeyisa ng’omusirusiru mu buvumu buno obw’okwenyumiriza.
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
Naye obanga bano beenyumiriza mu by’omubiri nange ka nneenyumirize.
19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
Mmwe muli bagezi, kyemuva mugumiikiriza abasirusiru.
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.
Omuntu yenna bw’abafuula abaddu, oba n’abanyaga, oba n’abalyazaamanya, oba ne yeegulumiza, oba n’abakuba empi, mukigumiikiriza.
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.
Ekyo kinswaza okukyogera kubanga tubadde banafu mu ekyo. Naye omuntu yenna kye yeewaayo okukola, nga njogera mu busirusiru, nange neewaayo okukikola.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
Bo Baebbulaniya? Nange bwe ndi. Bagamba nti Bayisirayiri? Nange bwe ntyo. Bazzukulu ba Ibulayimu? Nange bwe ndi.
23 Are they servants of Messiah? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labours more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.
Bagamba nti baweereza ba Kristo? Nga njogera ng’agudde eddalu, nze mbasinga; Mbasinga okukola ennyo, era nsibiddwa mu kkomera emirundi mingi okubasinga, n’emirundi gye nkubiddwa mingi okusingawo, era emirundi mingi ne mba kumpi n’okufa.
24 Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.
Abayudaaya bankuba embooko amakumi asatu mu mwenda ku mirundi egy’enjawulo etaano.
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.
Nakubwa emiggo emirundi esatu. Omulundi gumu nakubwa amayinja. Emirundi esatu ekyombo kye nalingamu kyamenyeka. Olulala ne nsula era ne nsiiba mu buziba.
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 amongst false brothers;
Ntambudde nnyo, era emirundi mingi ne mpona akabi k’omujjuzo gw’emigga, ne mpona n’akabi ak’abanyazi, n’empona ab’eggwanga lyange, era n’Abamawanga abalala. Nayolekera obubenje obw’omu kibuga, ne mpona n’okufiira mu ddungu ne mu muyaga ogw’oku nnyanja, ne mpona n’akabi ak’abantu abeeyita abooluganda;
27 in labour and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
mu kukola ennyo ne mu kufuba nga seebaka, mu kulumwa enjala ne mu kufuuyibwa empewo ne mu kubeera obwereere.
28 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.
Ebirala bye simenye nga nabyo bikyali awo, neeraliikirira buli lunaku nga ndowooza ku Kkanisa zonna nga bwe ziri.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’t burn with indignation?
Bwe wabaawo anafuye, nange nzigwamu amaanyi, omulala bw’agwa mu kibi, nange njaka munda yange.
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
Naye obanga kiŋŋwanidde okwenyumiriza, ka neenyumirize olw’ebyo ebiraga obunafu bwange!
31 The God and Father of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, he who is blessed forever more, knows that I don’t lie. (aiōn g165)
Katonda, era Kitaawe wa Mukama waffe Yesu, atenderezebwa emirembe n’emirembe, amanyi nga ssirimba. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the Damascenes’ city, desiring to arrest me.
Bwe nnali mu Damasiko, Kabaka Aleta yalagira gavana alagire abakuumi b’ekibuga, nkwatibwe,
33 I was let down in a basket through a window by the wall, and escaped his hands.
naye ne mpisibwa mu ddirisa, eryali mu kisenge kya bbugwe w’ekibuga, nga ndi mu kisero kye baaleebeesa ku miguwa okuntuusa ebweru wansi, bwe ntyo abo ne mbawona.
