2 Corinto 7

1 Mga hinigugma, sanglit nakabaton na kita niini nga mga saad hinloan nato ang atong mga kaugalingon sa tanan nga nakahimo kanato nga hugaw diha sa atong lawas ug espiritu. Ipadayon nato ang pagkabalaan diha sa kahadlok sa Dios.

My friends, whom I love, because [God] has promised [to accept us(inc) as his children], we [(inc)] must stop doing anything that is sinful. We must not do sinful things with our bodies, and we must not [think] sinful thoughts. [Because] we greatly revere God, we must strive to [live] a completely pure life. By doing that we will become the kind of people that he wants us to be.

2 Paghimog lawak alang kanamo! Wala kami nakasala ni bisan kinsa. Wala kami nagpasakit ni bisan kinsa o nagpahimulos ni bisan kinsa.

So, as I just wrote, I want you to love me (OR, us [IDM] [who are true apostles of Christ]). I/we [(exc)] have never done anything wrong to any of you. I/we have not done anything to harm any one of you spiritually or financially. And I/we have not tried to get money from [you] (for myself/for ourselves).

3 Dili kini paghukom kaninyo nga nag-ingon ako niini. Kay sa gikaingon ko na nga kamo anaa na sa among mga kasingkasing, kay alang kanamo magkauban kitang mamatay ug mabuhi nga magkauban.

[It is true that some people among you have said that I have done such things. Nevertheless], I am not trying to make you all feel ashamed because, as I wrote before, I will continue to love you all very much [IDM], whether I live with you or die with you. I am very confident about you.

4 Aduna akoy dakong pagsalig kaninyo, ug magarbuhon ako alang kaninyo. Napuno ako sa paghupay. Nag-awas na ang akong kalipay bisan sa tanan namong mga pag-antos.

I am very pleased with you. You have greatly encouraged me, so that I am now very joyful in spite of all the hardships that I have endured.

5 Sa dihang miabot kami sa Macedonia, ang among lawas wala gayoy pahulay. Hinuon, nasamok kami sa matag paagi pinaagi sa mga panagbingkil sa gawas ug kahadlok ngadto sa sulod.

Now [I will write more about what I was saying about Titus]. When I [left Troas and] came [here to] Macedonia [province], I still did not get any rest. Everywhere we [(exc)] went, [people were constantly] causing us trouble. [And not only were] people [constantly causing us] trouble, but I was greatly concerned [about you all].

6 Apan ang Dios, nga naghupay sa kaluya, naghupay kanamo pinaagi sa pag-abot ni Tito.

But God, who always encourages his people when they are discouraged, encouraged us by [sending] Titus back to us.

7 Dili lamang kini sa iyang pag-abot nga ang Dios naghupay kanamo. Mao usab kini ang kahupayan nga nadawat ni Tito gikan kaninyo. Misulti siya kanamo sa inyong dakong pag-antos, ang inyong kasub-anan, ug ang inyong halawom nga kabalaka kanako. Busa hilabihan pa ang akong pagmaya.

I was encouraged by [seeing] Titus, [but when I heard how] you had encouraged him, that encouraged me even more. He told me how much you wanted [to see me. He told me] that you were very sorry [that you had made me so unhappy. He also told me] that you are very eager for me [to continue to serve as your apostle. When Titus told me those things], I was very, very happy.

8 Bisan tuod ang akong sulat nakahimo kaninyo nga magul-anon, wala ako nagbasol niini. Apan nagbasol ako niini sa dihang nakita ko nga ang akong sulat nakapaguol kaninyo. Apan kamo naguol sa makadiyot lamang nga panahon.

Even though what [I wrote] in my letter (distressed you/made you sad), I am not sorry [that I wrote it]. For a while I was sorry that I had written it, [because I knew that it would distress you]. Now [Titus has also told] me that it did distress you [when you read it], but you were distressed only for a short time.

9 Karon nalipay ako, dili tungod kay kamo naguol, apan tungod kay ang inyong kagul-anan nagdala kaninyo sa paghinulsol. Inyong nasinatian ang diosnon nga kasubo, busa ang inyong pag-antos dili mawala tungod kanamo.

[So now] I am happy [that I wrote it]. I am not happy that you were distressed {that [I] distressed you}, but [I am happy] because, when you became distressed, you felt sorry for what you had done and [you asked God to forgive you. What I mean is that you felt sorry in the way that God wanted you to feel sorry, so my making] you feel sorry did not harm you at all.

10 Kay ang diosnon nga kasub-anan modala kini sa paghinulsol nga mosangpot sa kaluwasan nga walay pagbasol. Apan ang kalibotanong kabalaka, magdalag kamatayon.

[The fact is that] when God causes [us to feel] truly sorry for having sinned and we turn from our sinful behavior, then God saves us [and will not punish us for the sinful things that we have done]. And no one is ever sorry about that. [However], the people who do not trust [in God] [MTY] may be sorry [for the sinful things that they have done]. But [if they do not turn from their sinful behavior and ask God to forgive them], they will remain separated from him forever.

11 Tan-awa unsa ang nahimo niining dako nga kalig-onan sa diosnon nga kasub-anan diha kaninyo. Unsa kadako ang kalig-onan diha kaninyo nga nagpamatuod nga kamo walay sala. Unsa kadako ang inyong kayugot, ang inyong kahadlok, ang inyong tinguha, ang inyong kasibot, ug ang inyong pangandoy sa pagtan-aw nga ang hustisya mahitabo na gayod! Sa kinatibuk-an kamo nagpamatuod sa inyong kaugalingon nga mahimong walay sala niini nga butang.

But [think about what happened when you read my letter]: God caused you to be truly sorry [for what you had done]. You eagerly [wanted to do what was right], and you wanted to show [God] (OR, [me]) that you had done the right thing. You were angry [about what had happened], and you were worried [that God would punish you if the situation continued]. You also wanted me [to visit you to encourage and help you]. You wanted me to know [that you really do accept me as your apostle, and that you punished the man who had sinned, as I told you to do. By doing] all of those things, you have shown [me] that you have done what is right in this matter.

12 Bisan paman nagsulat ako kaninyo, wala ako magsulat tungod ug alang sa nagabuhat sa sayop, ni ngadto sa usa nga nag-antos sa sayop. Nagsulat ako aron ang inyong pagkamainiton kanamo mahibaloan gayod ninyo diha sa panan-aw sa Dios.

So, even though I wrote that [severe] letter to you, I did not [write it just] so that [you would punish] the man who had done what was wrong. Also, I [did not write it] for the benefit of the person whom [he] had wronged. Instead, [I wrote it] so that, when you [read the letter], God would enable you to realize how much you really do respect [my authority].

13 Pinaagi kini niini nga nadasig kami. Dugang pa sa among kaugalingong paghupay, labaw pa ang among pagmaya tungod sa kalipay ni Tito, tungod kay ang iyang espirtu nabag-o tungod kaninyong tanan.

So, [because you listened to me and did what I asked you to do], (I was/we [(exc)] were all) encouraged. Not only (was I/were we) encouraged, but (I was/we [(exc)] were) [also] very happy to see how happy Titus was [when he arrived here. He told me/us that] he did not need to worry any more, because [he saw] that you all [had a good attitude toward me].

14 Kay kung nagpasigarbo ako ngadto kaniya mahitungod kaninyo, wala ako maulaw. Sa laing bahin, sama sa tanan nga gisulti namo diha kaninyo mao ang tinuod, ang among pagpasigarbo mahitungod kaninyo ngadto kang Tito napamatud-an nga tinuod.

I had told Titus that I was pleased about you. And I did not need to be ashamed [for feeling that way about you, because you did what I knew that you would do]. Just like everything that I have taught you [and written to you] has been the truth, the good things that I told Titus about you were also true.

15 Ang iyang pagbati alang kaninyo nagmadagayaon pa, sa dihang iyang mahinumdoman ang pagkamatinumanon ninyong tanan, kung giunsa ninyo siya pagdawat uban ang kahadlok ug pagpangurog.

Now he happily remembers how you all [were willing to] do [what I asked you to do]. He is [also happy about the way you] treated him with great respect. [When he thinks about those things], [it makes] him love you even more [than he did when he was with you].

16 Nagmaya ako tungod kay aduna akoy hingpit nga pagsalig kaninyo.

[As for me], I am very happy [because now] I am certain that I can depend on you [to do what you know God wants you to do].
