2 Ŵakolinto 13
1 Au uli ulendo wangu waatatu uchiiche kukwenu. Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu igakuti kusala, “Magambo gose chigakaluche kwa kang'wa sya ŵandu ŵaŵili pane kupunda”
This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”
2 Natandite kunjamuka panaiche kukwenu pa ulendo wangu waaŵili, ni sambano ngunjamuka sooni pandi kwakutalichila, yakuti pachinjiika ngaangola chanasa kwa aŵala wose ŵalongolele kutenda sambi ni akwendelechela kutenda sambi, ni ŵane wose.
As I already said while with you the second time, I now repeat in writing while absent, to those who sinned before and to all the rest: If I come again I will not spare,
3 Chimuumanyilile usyene wose, kuti Kilisito akuŵecheta ni ŵanyamwe kwalitala lya kang'wa jangu. Kukwenu Kilisito nganaŵa ŵakulepetala paakulichenjeusya ni indu yenu, nambo akugalosya machili gao pasikati jenu.
since you want proof that Christ is speaking through me—He who is not weak toward you but powerful among you
4 Atamuno ŵaliji ŵakulepetela paŵaŵambikwe pansalaba, nambo sambano akutama kwa machili ga Akunnungu. Iyoyopeyo noweji tuli ŵakulepetala kwakulumbikana nawo, nambo patukulilagasya kwa ligongo lyenu chitutame nawo kwa machili ga Akunnungu.
(although He was crucified in weakness, He lives by the power of God). Now we also are weak in Him, but we will live with Him by the power of God toward you.
5 Nlipime mwachinsyene, nnyimanyilile kanga nlimbilichile mu chikulupi. Ana, ngankwimanyilila kuti Che Yesu Kilisito akutama munkati mwenu? Naga ngakutama nkati mwenu, nlepele.
Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you yourselves really not know that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
6 Nambo ngwete chilolelo chakuti ŵanyamwe nkuimanyilila kuti uweji nganitulepela.
Well I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.
7 Noweji tukwapopelela Akunnungu, nkantenda chachili chose changalumbana, ni uwe ngatukusaka tulolechele ni ŵandu kuti ŵakombole. Nambo, nkombole kuipanganya yaili yambone, namose yalolechelaga mpela ŵalepele.
Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do what is right (even though we may appear to have failed).
8 Pakuŵa ngatukukombola kupanganya chachili chose chachikukanilana ni usyene. Nambo kuujimilila usyenepe.
For we cannot do anything against the Truth, but only for the Truth.
9 Tukusengwa patukuŵa ŵakulepetala, ŵanyamwe nli ŵakulimbangana. Kwayele tukwapopela Akunnungu kuti mmeje ŵamalile.
Now we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. And we also pray for this, your perfecting.
10 Kwaligongo lyo, ngulemba aga ndili ndalichile ni ŵanyamwe, melepe kuti katema kachiiche kweleko, ngasima jwachikali malinga ni ukombole wambele Ambuje wa kunlimbisya ŵanyamwe ngaŵa kunlepetesya.
This is why I write these things while absent, so that when present I may not have to deal harshly, according to the authority that the Lord gave me, for building up and not for tearing down.
11 Pambesi achalongo achinjangu nguti nne mwanja. Mmeje ŵamalilwe, mpembesyaneje jwine ni jwine, mmeje ni nningwa umo, ntame mu chitendewele. Nombe Akunnungu ŵa unonyelo ni chitendewele chachiŵa ni ŵanyamwe.
Finally, brothers, rejoice; restore each other; encourage one another; be of one mind; live in peace; and the God of the love and the peace will be with you.
12 Nkomasyane kwakulosyana unonyelo wa Kilisito.
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
13 Ntuuka wa Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito, ni unonyelo wa Akunnungu ni ukamulangano wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu utame ni ŵanyamwe wose.
All the saints greet you.
14 Ntuuka wa Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito ni unonyelo wa Akunnungu ni ukamulangano wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu utame ni ŵanyamwe wose.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
