2 Abhakorintho 12
1 Mbe kunyiile okwikuya, nawe chitalio echoenongesha kwelyo. Ntali enigendelela ku bhilolo no kuswelulilwa okusoka ku Lata bhugenyi.
As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Nimumenyele omunu umwi ku Kristo unu emyaka ekumi nene ejojatulileo unu aliga mu mubhili amwi anja yo mubhili anye nitakumenya, Nyamuanga kamenya agagelwe nasilwa ingulu ku lwa kasatu.
I have knowledge of a man in Christ, fourteen years back (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only), who was taken up to the third heaven.
3 Nimenyele ati umunu unu aligali mumubhili, amwi anja ya mubhili, anye nitakumenya, nyamuwanga kamenya.
And I have knowledge of such a man (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only),
4 Agegelwe nasilwa ingulu mu paradiso notes emisango jekisi muno mumubhili wonawona bhitakutala kwaikwa.
How he was taken up into Paradise, and words came to his ears which may not be said, and which man is not able to say.
5 Kwo munu undi oyo enikuya, nawe kwanye omwenela nitakwikuya. Ntali mu bwo kubhulwa amanaga kwani.
On account of such a one I will have glory: for myself I will take no glory, but only in my feeble body.
6 Kwo kubha nikinda okwikuya, nitakabhee mutamutamu, okubha nakabhee ninaika echimali. Nawe enisiga okwikuya, koleleki ati asige wonawona okunyiganilisha kukila ejo ejibhonekana kwanye amwi okungwa kusoka kwanye.
For if I had a desire to take credit to myself, it would not be foolish, for I would be saying what is true: but I will not, for fear that I might seem to any man more than he sees me to be, or has word from me that I am.
7 Nitakwikuya kwa injuno ya bhinu nasweluliywe byaliga bhilibya kulugusha. Kulwejo nitakubla nechigundu, Liwa lyatewe mumubhili gwani, intumwu ya shetani okunyasha anye, koleleki nisige kubha wo kusagilila.
And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain.
8 kwiya kasatu nalembelejishe latabhugenyi kulinu, koleleki omwene achisosheko kwanye.
And about this thing I made request to the Lord three times that it might be taken away from me.
9 Nawe nambwila ati,”Echigongo chani chiile kwawe, kwo kubha amanaga agakola kukumisha kubhinu bhitana managa. Kutyo, enenda okwikuya kukila kubulwa amanaga gani, koleleki ati obhutulo bwa kristo bhutule kwikala kwanye.
And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.
10 Lwa kutyo nili kukristo, mukubhulwa mu managa, na kujimibwa, na mubhukene na kunyansibwa, na mu byakoleke kwo kubha omwanya nikabha nitana managa, niwo nibha na managa.
So I take pleasure in being feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong.
11 Anye nabhee mutamutamu! emwe mwasinyilisishe kulinu. Okubha nakabhee nikusibwa nemwe. Kwo kubha nitakililwe kwabwo abhabhilikilwa jintuma je chibhalo, nolwo labha anye nitali chinu.
I have been forced by you to become foolish, though it was right for my praise to have come from you: for in no way was I less than the chief of the Apostles, though I am nothing.
12 Ebhibhalikisho bye chimali bya jitumwa byakoleke mu bhumwi bwemwe mu kwiganilisha, ebhibhalikisho na mu bhililugulo na mu bhikolwa bhikulu.
Truly the signs of an Apostle were done among you in quiet strength, with wonders and acts of power.
13 Mbe nikubhaki naliga wachimali wa asi kukila amakanisa ago gasigae, ati nitabhee mujigo kwemwe? munyiswalile kwe chikayo chinu!
For what is there in which you were made less than the other churches, but in the one thing that I was not a trouble to you? Let me have forgiveness for this wrong.
14 Rola! anye nimaliliye okuja kwemwe kulwakasatu nitakenele kubha mujigo kwemwe, okubha nitakukena chinu chili chemwe. Enibhenda emwe. Okubha abhana kuteile okubhilikila abhebhusi. Nawe abhebhusi bheile okubhikilaga abhana.
This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children.
15 Enikondelwa kukila kukola no kukolelwa kulwe emwoyo jemwe. Labha nikasagilila okubhenda, anye munyende kutoto?
And I will gladly give all I have for your souls. If I have the more love for you, am I to be loved the less?
16 Nawe labha jili kutyo, nitabhatamile emwe, Nawe okubha anye naliga nilimwenge muno, anye ni woyo nabhagwatile emwe nabhee oyo abhetegele mubhuligelige.
But let it be so, that I was not a trouble to you myself; but (someone may say) being false, I took you with deceit.
17 Mbe, nagegele mu kwikolela omuyelo ku wonawona unu namutumile kwemwe?
Did I make a profit out of you by any of those whom I sent to you?
18 Namukomelesishe Tito okuja kwemwe, nimutuma owasu amwi nage, mbe, Tito abhakolee omuyelo emwe? mbe, chitalibhatile mu njila iliya iliya? mbe, chitalibhatile mubhigele bhilya?
I gave orders to Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus make any profit out of you? were we not guided by the same Spirit, in the same ways?
19 Omwiganilisha ati kumwaya gunu gwone chaliga nichibhambala eswe abhene kwemwe? Imbele ya Nyamuanga, na mu kristo, chaikile bhuli bhinu kwo kubhombaka emwe.
It may seem to you that all this time we have been attempting to put ourselves in the right; but we are saying these things before God in Christ. For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit.
20 Kwo kubha enubhaya ati, aligns naja enitula kubhasaga mtali lwa kutyo enenda. Nina bhubha ati omtula kusiga kumwaya anye lwa kutyo omwenda. Enubhaya ati, okutula okubhao amwi no lwango, amwi lifuwa, amwi lisungu, amwi bhuwenyele, olubheyi echigundu, amwi injongele.
For I have a fear that, when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority;
21 Nilinobhubha ati, nilisubha kujalindi, Nyamuanga wani katula okukusya imbele yemwe. Nilinobhubha ati enitula kubha sulumbhasha na abhafu abho bhakolele echibhibhi kala, nabho bhalemele okuta obhujabhi, na ubhusiani na magambo ganu bhakolele.
And that when I come again, my God may put me to shame among you, and I may have grief for those who have done wrong before and have had no regret for their unclean ways, and for the evil desires of the flesh to which they have given way.
