2 Akorinto 7

1 Abwenzi okondedwa, popeza tili ndi malonjezo amenewa, tiyeni tidziyeretse, kusiyana nazo zilizonse zimene zikhoza kudetsa thupi ndi mzimu, ndipo tiyesetse kukhala oyera mtima poopa Mulungu.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sactification in the fear of God.

2 Mutipatse malo mʼmitima mwanu. Ife sitinalakwire munthu aliyense, kapena kuyipitsa munthu aliyense, kapena kumuchenjerera munthu aliyense.

Receive us. We have injured no man, we have corrupted no man, we have overreached no man.

3 Sindikunena izi kuti mupezeke olakwa. Ndinanena kale kuti ife timakuganizirani kwambiri kotero kuti tili pamodzi, ngakhale tikhale moyo kapena timwalire.

I speak not this to your condemnation. For we have said before, that you are in our hearts, to die together, and to live together.

4 Ndimakukhulupirirani kwambiri ndipo ndimakunyadirani kwambiri. Ndikulimbikitsidwa kwambiri; mʼmasautso athu onse, chimwemwe changa chilibe malire.

Great is my confidence for you, great is my glorying for you. I am filled with comfort: I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulation.

5 Pakuti titafika ku Makedoniya, sitinapume nʼkomwe, koma tinavutitsidwa mbali zonse. Kunja kunali mikangano, ndipo mʼmitima mwathu munali mantha.

For also when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we suffered all tribulation; combats without, fears within.

6 Koma Mulungu, amene amatonthoza mtima wopsinjika, anatitonthoza mtima ndi kufika kwa Tito,

But God, who comforteth the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus.

7 sikubwera kwake kokhako, komanso mawu achilimbikitso amene analandira kuchokera kwa inu. Iye anatiwuza kuti mukufuna kundiona, zachisoni chanu chachikulu, ndi kudzipereka kwanu kwa ine, motero chimwemwe changa chinachuluka kuposa kale.

And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation, wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.

8 Ngakhale kalata yanga ija inakupwetekani mtima, sindikudandaula kuti ndinalemberanji. Ngakhale zinandikhudza, ndikudziwa kuti kalata yanga inakupwetekani, koma kwa kanthawi kochepa.

For although I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent; and if I did repent, seeing that the same epistle (although but for a time) did make you sorrowful;

9 Koma tsopano ndine wokondwa, osati chifukwa chakuti kalatayo inakupwetekani, koma chifukwa chakuti chisoni chanu chinakuthandizani kutembenuka mtima. Pakuti munamva chisoni monga mmene Mulungu amafunira, choncho simunapwetekedwe mwanjira iliyonse.

Now I am glad: not because you were made sorrowful; but because you were made sorrowful unto penance. For you were made sorrowful according to God, that you might suffer damage by us in nothing.

10 Chisoni chimene Mulungu amafuna chimabweretsa kutembenuka mtima komwe kumabweretsa chipulumutso, ndipo sichikhumudwitsa. Koma chisoni cha dziko lapansi chimabweretsa imfa.

For the sorrow that is according to God worketh penance, steadfast unto salvation; but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

11 Taonani zimene chisoni chimene Mulungu amafuna chatulutsa mwa inu. Chatulutsa khama lalikulu, chakuthandizani kuti mudzikonze nokha, chakukwiyitsani kwambiri, komanso chakupatsani mantha aakulu. Chakuchititsani kuti mufune kundiona ine, mwakhudzidwa kwambiri ndipo mukufuna kuonetsetsa kuti chilungamo chachitikadi. Pa nkhani yonseyi, mwaonetsadi kuti ndinu osalakwa.

For behold this selfsame thing, that you were made sorrowful according to God, how great carefulness it worketh in you; yea defence, yea indignation, yea fear, yea desire, yea zeal, yea revenge: in all things you have shewed yourselves to be undefiled in the matter.

12 Choncho ngakhale ndinakulemberani kalata ija, sindinayilembe ndi chifukwa cha amene analakwayo kapena wolakwiridwa, koma ndinayilemba kuti inuyo muone kudzipereka kwanu kwa ife pamaso a Mulungu.

Wherefore although I wrote to you, it was not for his sake that I did the wrong, nor for him that suffered it; but to manifest our carefulness that we have for you

13 Zimenezi zatilimbikitsa kwambiri. Kuwonjezera pa zotilimbikitsazo, tinakondwa kwambiri poona chisangalalo cha Tito, chifukwa nonsenu munamuthandiza kukhazikitsa mtima wake pansi.

Before God: therefore we were comforted. But in our consolation, we did the more abundantly rejoice for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

14 Ndinamuwuza kuti ndimakunyadirani, ndipo simunandichititse manyazi. Koma monga zonse zimene tinakuwuzani zinali zoona, tsono zomwe ndinawuza Tito zokunyadirani zinali zoona.

And if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our boasting that was made to Titus is found a truth.

15 Ndipo chikondi chake pa inu nʼchachikulu kwambiri akakumbukira kuti nonse munali omvera, munamulandira ndi mantha ndi kunjenjemera.

And his bowels are more abundantly towards you; remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you have received him.

16 Ndine wokondwa kuti ndingathe kukukhulupirirani pa zonse.

I rejoice that in all things I have confidence in you.
