2 VaKorinde 11

¹Dai muchindiitira moyo murefu zvishoma pavupenzi bwangu; asi munondiitira henyu moyo murefu.Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

²Nokuti ndinegodo pamusoro penyu negodo raMwari; nokuti ndakakuwanisai nomurume mumwe, kuti ndikuisei kunaKristu semhandara yakachena.For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

³Asi ndinotya kuti, senyoka yakanyengera Eva namano ayo zvimwe saizvozvo ndangariro dzenyu dzingasvibiswa, dzitsauke pakururama nokuchena kwomoyo kuri kunaKristu.But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

⁴Nokuti kana mumwe achivuya unoparidza mumwe Jesu, watisina kumboparidza isu, kana zvimwe muchigamuchira mumwe mweya, wamusina kumbogamuchira kana imwe Evhangeri, yamusinakumbogamuchira, kana imwe Evhangeri, yamusina kumbotenda, zvino momuitira moyo murefu kwazvo.For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

⁵Nokuti ndinoti handizi muduku napaduku-duku kuvaapostora vanopfuvura vamwe vose.For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.

⁶Zvino kunyange ndisinganatsi pakutaura, handina kudaro pakuziva; asi pazvinhu zvose takaratidzwa izvozvo kwamuri pamberi pavose.But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.

⁷Ndakatadza here zvandakazvininipisa kuti imi mukudzwe, zvandakakuparidzirai Evhangeri yaMwari ndisingapiwi mubairo?Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

⁸Dzimwe kereke ndakadzitorera, ndichireva mubairo, kuti ndikushumirei imi.I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.

⁹Vuye, panguva yandakanga ndiri kwamuri, ndichishaiwa, handina kuremedza munhu; nokuti zvandakashaiwa ndakapiwa nehama dzaibva Makedhonia; pazvinhu zvose ndakachenjera kuti ndirege kukuremedzai, vuye ndicharamba ndichichenjera.And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

¹⁰sezvo zvokwadi yaKristu iri mandiri, hakuna munhu ungandikonesa kuzvirumbidza kunyika dzeAkaya.As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

¹¹Nemhaka yeiko? Nokuti handikudiyi here? Mwari unoziva.Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

¹²Asi chinhu ichi chandinoita, ndinochiita, kuti ndishaise nzira ivo vanotsvaka nzira; kuti vawanikwe vakaita sesu pazvinhu izvozvo zvavanozvirumbidza nazvo.But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

¹³Nokuti vakadaro vaapostora venhema, vanobata nokunyengera, vano zvishandura vachizviita vaapostora vaKristu.For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

¹⁴Naizvozvo hazvishamisi; nokuti kunyange naSatani vo unozvishandura, achizviita somutumwa wechiedza.And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

¹⁵Naizvozvo hachizi chinhu chikuru, kana vashumiri vake vachizvishandura vo, vachizviita savashumiri vokururama; kuguma kwavo kuchava sezvavakabata.Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

¹⁶Ndinopamhidza, ndichiti: Ngakurege kuva nomunhu unoti ndiri benzi; asi kana muchidaro henyu, ndigamuchirei sebenzi, kuti ndizvirumbidze hangu zvishoma vo.I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.

¹⁷Zvandinotaura, handizvitauri sezvinobva kunaShe, asi sapavupenzi bwangu, pakuzvitenda uku kwatino zvirumbidza nako.That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

¹⁸Vazhinji zvava nozvirumbidza panyama, neni vo ndichazvirumbidza.Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

¹⁹Nokuti munoitira mapenzi moyo murefu nomufaro, imi muri vakachenjera;For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.

²⁰nokuti munoita nomoyo murefu kana munhu achikuitai varanda, kana achikuparadzai,, kana achikutapai, kana achizvikudza, kana achikurovai kumeso.For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

²¹Ndinoreva ndichizvishovora, ndichiti takanga tisinesimba kudaro. Zvino kana kunomunhu unotsunga, (ndinotaura sebenzi), neni ndinotsunga vo.I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.

²²Ivo vaHebheru here? Neni vo. Ivo vaIsraeri here? Neni vo. Ivo vana vaAbhurahamu here? neni vo.Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

²³Ivo vashumiri vaKristu here? (Ndinotaura somunhu unopenga), zvikuru ini; pamabasa ndinovapfuvura, pakusungwa patorongo ndinovapfuvura, pakurobwa zvikuru-kuru, parufu kazhinji.Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

²⁴Ndakarobwa navaJudha kashanu, shamhu dzinamakumi matatu nepfumbamwe.Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

²⁵Katatu ndakarobwa netsvimbo, kamwe ndakatakwa namabwe, katatu ndakaputsikirwa nechikepe vusiku bwumwe namasikati ndakanga ndiri mugungwa;Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

²⁶panzendo kazhinji, panjodzi dzenzizi, panjodzi dzamakororo, panjodzi dzovorudzi rwangu, panjodzi dzavahedheni, panjodzi muguta, panjodzi murenje, panjodzi mugungwa, panjodzi pakati pehama dzenhema;In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

²⁷pakubata napakutambura, pakuvata kazhinji takarindira, panzara nenyota, pakuzvinyima zvokudya kazhinji, pachando napakushaiwa zvokufuka.In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

²⁸kunze kwaizvozvi, ndinoremedzwa zuva rimwe nerimwe nokurangarira kereke dzose.Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

²⁹Ndianiko usine simba, neni ndikasava nesimba? Ndianiko unogumburwa, neni ndikasatsva?Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?

³⁰Kana ndikafanira kuzvirumbidza, ndichazvirumbidza nezvinhu zvovutera bwangu.If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.

³¹Mwari, Baba vaShe wedu Jesu Kristu, unokudzwa nokusingaperi, unoziva kuti handirevi nhema.The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

³²PaDhamasko mubati pasi pamambo Areta wakarinda guta raveDhamasko, achitsvaka kundibata;In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:

³³ndikaburuswa ndiri mudengu napawindi parusvingo, ndikatiza pamavoko ake.And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
