2 Akorinto 13

1 Uwu ndi ulendo wachitatu ndikubwera kudzakuyenderani. “Nkhani itsimikizike ndi umboni wa anthu awiri kapena atatu.”

This third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two witnesses or three every saying will be confirmed.

2 Ndinakuchenjezani kale pamene ndinali nanu ulendo wachiwiri uja. Tsopano ndikubwereza ndisanafike. Ndikabweranso sindidzachitira chifundo amene anachimwa poyamba paja kapena wina aliyense amene anachimwa,

I have told you before, and I say in advance, as present the second time, and now absent, I write to those who have previously sinned, and to all the others, that if I come to it again, I will not spare,

3 popeza mufuna chitsimikizo chakuti Khristu akuyankhula kudzera mwa ine. Iye siwofowoka pofuna kuchita nanu koma ndi wamphamvu pakati panu.

since ye seek proof of the Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but is mighty in you.

4 Pofuna kutsimikizira, anapachikidwa ali wofowoka koma ali ndi moyo mwamphamvu ya Mulungu. Chomwechonso, ife ndife ofowoka mwa Iye, koma tidzakhala ndi moyo pamodzi naye ndi mphamvu ya Mulungu, potumikira pakati panu.

For even if he was crucified from weakness, yet he lives from the power of God. For we in him are also weak, but we will live with him from the power of God toward you.

5 Tadzisanthulani nokha kuti muone ngati muli mʼchikhulupiriro; dziyeseni nokha. Kodi simuzindikira kuti Khristu Yesu ali mwa inu, ngati si choncho mwalephera mayesowa?

Examine yourselves whether ye are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or know ye not yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless ye are test-failing something.

6 Ndipo ndikhulupirira kuti mudzazindikira kuti ife sitinalephere mayesowo.

But I hope that ye will know that we are not test-failing.

7 Tsopano tikupemphera kwa Mulungu kuti musadzachite kanthu kena kalikonse kolakwa. Osati chifukwa choti anthu aone kuti ife tapambana mayesowo koma kuti mudzachite zokhoza ngakhale anthu atamationa ngati olephera.

Now I pray to God, to do you nothing harmful, not that we would appear test-passing, but that ye would do right, even like we might be test-failing.

8 Pakuti sitingachite chilichonse chotsutsana ndi choonadi, koma chokhacho chovomerezana ndi choonadi.

For we do not have any power against the truth, but for the truth.

9 Ife timasangalala kuti pamene tafowoka, inu muli amphamvu; ndipo pemphero lathu ndi lakuti mukhale angwiro.

For we are glad when we are weak and ye are strong. And this also we pray for, your full qualification.

10 Nʼchifukwa chake ndimalemba zinthu zoterezi pamene ndili kutali, kuti ndikabwera ndisadzagwiritse ntchito ulamuliro wanga mokalipa, uwu ndi ulamuliro umene Ambuye anandipatsa kuti ndikukuzeni inu osati kukuwonongani.

Because of this I write these things while absent, so that I may not act harshly when present, according to the authority that the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

11 Potsiriza abale, ndikuti tsalani bwino. Yesetsani kukhala angwiro, mvetsetsani pempho langa, khalani a mtima umodzi, khalani mwamtendere. Ndipo Mulungu wachikondi ndi mtendere adzakhala nanu.

Finally brothers, farewell. Be thoroughly prepared, be encouraged, think the same way, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

12 Lonjeranani ndi mpsopsono wachiyero.

Salute each other by a holy kiss.

13 Anthu onse a Mulungu akupereka moni.

All the sanctified salute you.

14 Chisomo cha Ambuye Yesu Khristu, ndi chikondi cha Mulungu, ndi chiyanjano cha Mzimu Woyera zikhale ndi inu nonse.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, is with all of you. Truly.
