2 Ŵakolinto 1
1 Uneji che Paolo nduna ju Che Yesu Kilisito kwa usache wa Akunnungu, ndili pamo ni nlongo njetu che Timoseo. Ngunnembela ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu unkwakulupilila Kilisito ŵanli ku Kolinto pamo ni ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu ŵaali ku Akaya kose.
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Timothy the brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:
2 Tukwaŵenda Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito ampe ntuuka ni chitendewele.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Alapikwe Akunnungu ŵaali Atati ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito ni Atati ŵaali ni chanasa ni Akunnungu ŵa utulasyo wose.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort;
4 Akunnungu akututulasya mitima mmalagasyo gose kuti noweji tukombole kwatulasya mitima aŵala ŵaali mmalagasyo gagaligose. Tukwatulasya mitima mpela ŵelewo iŵatite pakututulasya uwe.
Who gives us comfort in all our troubles, so that we may be able to give comfort to others who are in trouble, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5 Mpela ila igakuti kupunda kukwetu malagasyo kwaligongo lya kwatumichila Kilisito, iyoyopeyo ni itukuti kutulaswa kwannope ni Kilisito.
For as we undergo more of the pain which Christ underwent, so through Christ does our comfort become greater.
6 Iŵaga uwe tukulagaswa, tukulagaswa kuti ŵanyamwe ntulaswe mitima ni kukulupuswa. Pane iŵaga tukutulaswa mitima, ŵanyamwe nkutulaswa mitima iyoyopeyo ni kupata machili gakunkombolesya kugapililila malagasyo galagala gatukugapililila.
But if we are troubled, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which takes effect through your quiet undergoing of the same troubles which we undergo:
7 Kwayele chilolelo chatulinacho kukwenu chili chakulimba, pakuŵa tukuimanyilila kuti mwaŵaga noweji mmalagasyo chinchiŵa pamo noweji mu kutulaswa kwetu.
And our hope for you is certain; in the knowledge that as you take part in the troubles, so you will take part in the comfort.
8 Achalongo achinjetu tukusaka kummanyisya kulaga kwatwalasile ku chilambo cha Asia, pakuŵa kulaga ko kwagapundile machili getu ni kwichila mwakupwa mitima ja kupunda kukola umi.
For it is our desire that you may not be without knowledge of our trouble which came on us in Asia, that the weight of it was very great, more than our power, so that it seemed that we had no hope even of life:
9 Isyene mmitima jetu twaganisisye kuti tuli mpela ŵalamulikwe kuulagwa. Yakopochele yeleyo kuti tukagakulupilila machili getu twachinsyene nambo twakulupilile Akunnungu ŵakwasyusya ŵandu ŵawile.
Yes, we ourselves have had the answer of death in ourselves, so that our hope might not be in ourselves, but in God who is able to give life to the dead:
10 Ŵelewo ŵatukulupwisye mmalagasyo gala gagasachile kutuulaga ni chapunde kutukulupusya. Noweji tukwalolela ŵelewo kuti chatukulupusye sooni.
Who gave us salvation from so great a death: on whom we have put our hope that he will still go on to give us salvation;
11 Ŵanyamwe nkutukamusya uwe kwakutupopelela. Nipele Akunnungu chagajanje mapopelo genu ni chatupe upile, ni ŵandu achajinji chiŵatogolele Akunnungu kwaligongo lyetu.
You at the same time helping together by your prayer for us; so that for what has been given to us through a number of persons, praise may go up to God for us from all of them.
12 Uweji tukulifunila chindu chimo, miningwa jetu jikutuŵalanjila kuti utame wetu pachilambo pano nnopennope ni ŵanyamwe kutama kwauswela ni ntima wambone utupegwilwe ni Akunnungu. Nganitutenda yeleyo kwa lunda lwa chiundu nambo kwa ntuuka wa Akunnungu.
For our glory is in this, in the knowledge which we have that our way of life in the world, and most of all in relation to you, has been holy and true in the eyes of God; not in the wisdom of the flesh, but in the grace of God.
13 Tukunnembela ŵanyamwe indu yankukombola kusyoma ni kuimanyilila. Ngulolela chinnyimanyilile yambone,
For in our letters we say no other things to you, but those which you are reading, and to which you give agreement, and, it is my hope, will go on doing so to the end:
14 nachiŵamuno sambano nkutumanyilila kanandi, nipele pa lyuŵa lichauje Ambuje chinlifune kwaligongo lyetu ni uweji yachitujile pa kulifuna kwaligongo lyenu.
Even as you have been ready, in part, to say that we are your glory, in the same way that you are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 Isyene naliji ni chele chilolelo, nasachile kaje kwika kukwenu kuti nkole upile kwa kumona une kaaŵili.
And being certain of this, it was my purpose to come to you before, so that you might have a second grace;
16 Ngulapilila kupitila kukwenu ndili ngwaula kuchilambo cha ku Makedonia ni pakuuja, kuti mungamusye mu ulendo wangu wa kwaula ku Yudea.
And by way of Corinth to go into Macedonia, and from there to come back again to you, so that you might send me on my way to Judaea.
17 Ana panasachile kutenda yeleyo nkuganisya naliji jwagalaukagalauka? Pane inguganisya nguganisya kwa nganisyo sya chiundu pinguti, “Elo,” ni “Ngwamba,” kwakatema kamo?
If then I had such a purpose, did I seem to be changing suddenly? or am I guided in my purposes by the flesh, saying, Yes, today, and, No, tomorrow?
18 Akunnungu ali ŵakukulupilichika, utenga wetu kukwenu ngaŵa liloŵe lyakuti “Elo,” ni “Ngwamba” kwakatema kamo.
As God is true, our word to you is not Yes and No.
19 Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Akunnungu, Che Yesu Kilisito, jutwanlalichilaga kukwenu une ni che Siluwano ni che Timoseo, nganaŵa mundu jwa “Elo” ni “Ngwamba,” kwakatema kamo, nambo moŵa gose ali “Elo” ja Akunnungu.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we were preaching among you, even I and Silvanus and Timothy, was not Yes and No, but in him is Yes.
20 Pakuŵa ilanga yose ya Akunnungu kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito ikuŵa “Elo”. Kwa ligongo lyo tukuti “Eloo” kwa litala lya ŵelewo kwa kwakusya Akunnungu.
For he is the Yes to all the undertakings of God: and by him all the words of God are made certain and put into effect, to the glory of God through us.
21 Akunnungu nsyene ni ŵakutulimbisya uwe ni ŵanyamwe mkulumbikana ni Kilisito. Ni uŵatusagwile,
Now he who makes our faith strong together with you, in Christ, and has given us of his grace, is God;
22 atupele Mbumu jwakwe mmitima jetu aŵe chimanyisyo chachikulosya kuti tuli ŵandu ŵakwe, nombewo aŵele poni kwa indu yose yaatugosele.
And it is he who has put his stamp on us, even the Spirit, as the sign in our hearts of the coming glory.
23 Akunnungu ali jwaumboni jwangu, ŵelewo akuumanyilila mtima wangu. Uneji naamwiwe ninaiche sooni ku Kolinto kukunsupusya kwakunsalila maloŵe gakalipa.
But God is my witness that it was in pity for you that I did not come to Corinth at that time.
24 Ngatukusaka kunkanganichisya nkati aila inkuikulupilila, pakuŵa tukwimanyilila kuti nli ŵakulimba mu chikulupi chenu, nambo tukupanganya masengo pamo ni ŵanyamwe ligongo lya kusengwa kwenu.
Not that we have authority over your faith, but we are helpers of your joy: for it is faith which is your support.
