2 Abhakorintho 12
1 Mbe kunyiile okwikuya, nawe chitalio echoenongesha kwelyo. Ntali enigendelela ku bhilolo no kuswelulilwa okusoka ku Lata bhugenyi.
I might boast, but it is not expedient; for I 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 knew a man in the Meshiha fourteen years ago, -whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not, Aloha himself knoweth, -who, this one himself, was rapt unto the third of heaven.
3 Nimenyele ati umunu unu aligali mumubhili, amwi anja ya mubhili, anye nitakumenya, nyamuwanga kamenya.
And I know this man himself, -but whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not, Aloha himself knoweth,
4 Agegelwe nasilwa ingulu mu paradiso notes emisango jekisi muno mumubhili wonawona bhitakutala kwaikwa.
-and he was rapt into paradise, and heard words which are not uttered, those which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5 Kwo munu undi oyo enikuya, nawe kwanye omwenela nitakwikuya. Ntali mu bwo kubhulwa amanaga kwani.
Of this I boast; but of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.
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.
Yet if I willed to boast, I should not be a fool, for I say the truth; but I spare, lest any one think of me beyond that which he seeth me (to be), and what he heareth of me.
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 that I might not be exalted by the abundance of revelations, there was delivered to me a stimulus of my flesh, an angel of Satana to buffet me, that I might not be exalted.
8 kwiya kasatu nalembelejishe latabhugenyi kulinu, koleleki omwene achisosheko kwanye.
Concerning this three times I entreated of my Lord that it might be removed 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 sufficeth thee; for my power in weakness is perfected. Gladly therefore will I boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Meshiha may overshadow 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.
For this cause I am willing in infirmities, in reviling, in affliction, in persecutions, in distresses, for the sake of the Meshiha; for when I am weak, 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.
Behold, I have been deficient in mind in my boasting, because you have constrained me; for you were debtors to bear witness concerning me; because in nothing am I less than those apostles who are the most eminent, nevertheless I am not any thing.
12 Ebhibhalikisho bye chimali bya jitumwa byakoleke mu bhumwi bwemwe mu kwiganilisha, ebhibhalikisho na mu bhililugulo na mu bhikolwa bhikulu.
The signs of the apostles I have wrought among you in all patience, and with mighty acts and miracles and with powers.
13 Mbe nikubhaki naliga wachimali wa asi kukila amakanisa ago gasigae, ati nitabhee mujigo kwemwe? munyiswalile kwe chikayo chinu!
For in what have you been less than the other churches, except in this, that I have not burdened you? Forgive me this offence.
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.
Behold, this is three times that I prepare to come to you, and not to burden you; for I seek not yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasures for the parents, but the parents for their children.
15 Enikondelwa kukila kukola no kukolelwa kulwe emwoyo jemwe. Labha nikasagilila okubhenda, anye munyende kutoto?
But I gladly the expenses will spend, and also myself will I give for the sake of your souls: though, while the more I love you, you the less love me.
16 Nawe labha jili kutyo, nitabhatamile emwe, Nawe okubha anye naliga nilimwenge muno, anye ni woyo nabhagwatile emwe nabhee oyo abhetegele mubhuligelige.
And, perhaps, (though) I did not burden you, yet (it may be said), as a crafty man with deceit I have robbed you.
17 Mbe, nagegele mu kwikolela omuyelo ku wonawona unu namutumile kwemwe?
By any other whom I have sent to you have I made prey of 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?
Of Titos I requested, and sent with him the brethren. In any thing has Titos made prey of you? Have we not walked in one spirit, and in the same steps?
19 Omwiganilisha ati kumwaya gunu gwone chaliga nichibhambala eswe abhene kwemwe? Imbele ya Nyamuanga, na mu kristo, chaikile bhuli bhinu kwo kubhombaka emwe.
DO you again consider that we apologize to you? Before Aloha in the Meshiha do we speak; and all, my beloved, for the sake of your up-building.
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 fear lest, when I come to you, I should not find you as I wish, but should find you what you would not wish: lest there be contention and envy, and wrath and angry talk, and accusations and murmurings, and pompousness and agitation:
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 lest, when I come to you, my God may humiliate me, and I may have to lament over many who have sinned, and have not repented of the uncleanness and of the fornication and of the lasciviousness which they have committed.
