< 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, the apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Timothy, to the church of God which is at Corinth, along 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 our Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Alapikwe Akunnungu ŵaali Atati ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito ni Atati ŵaali ni chanasa ni Akunnungu ŵa utulasyo wose.
Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation;
4 Akunnungu akututulasya mitima mmalagasyo gose kuti noweji tukombole kwatulasya mitima aŵala ŵaali mmalagasyo gagaligose. Tukwatulasya mitima mpela ŵelewo iŵatite pakututulasya uwe.
the one comforting us in all our tribulation, in order that we may be able to comfort those in all tribulation, through the consolation with which we ourselves are comforted of God,
5 Mpela ila igakuti kupunda kukwetu malagasyo kwaligongo lya kwatumichila Kilisito, iyoyopeyo ni itukuti kutulaswa kwannope ni Kilisito.
because as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation through Christ also abounds.
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 in behalf of your consolation and salvation; if we are comforted, it is in behalf of your consolation, working in you through the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
7 Kwayele chilolelo chatulinacho kukwenu chili chakulimba, pakuŵa tukuimanyilila kuti mwaŵaga noweji mmalagasyo chinchiŵa pamo noweji mu kutulaswa kwetu.
And our hope is stedfast in your behalf; knowing that, as you are the partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the consolation.
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 we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction taking place in Asia, because we were burthened exceedingly, above our power, so that we despaired even of living:
9 Isyene mmitima jetu twaganisisye kuti tuli mpela ŵalamulikwe kuulagwa. Yakopochele yeleyo kuti tukagakulupilila machili getu twachinsyene nambo twakulupilile Akunnungu ŵakwasyusya ŵandu ŵawile.
but we had the answer of death in ourselves, in order that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God who raised the dead:
10 Ŵelewo ŵatukulupwisye mmalagasyo gala gagasachile kutuulaga ni chapunde kutukulupusya. Noweji tukwalolela ŵelewo kuti chatukulupusye sooni.
who delivered us from so great a death, and will deliver: in whom he have hope that he will also yet deliver;
11 Ŵanyamwe nkutukamusya uwe kwakutupopelela. Nipele Akunnungu chagajanje mapopelo genu ni chatupe upile, ni ŵandu achajinji chiŵatogolele Akunnungu kwaligongo lyetu.
you also cooperating in our behalf in prayer; in order that, the gift which is bestowed upon us from many persons, may through many be a source of thanks given in our behalf.
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 boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and purity of God, not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have sojourned in the world, and especially towards you.
13 Tukunnembela ŵanyamwe indu yankukombola kusyoma ni kuimanyilila. Ngulolela chinnyimanyilile yambone,
For we do not write other things to you, but those things which you read and know, and I hope that you will know them perfectly:
14 nachiŵamuno sambano nkutumanyilila kanandi, nipele pa lyuŵa lichauje Ambuje chinlifune kwaligongo lyetu ni uweji yachitujile pa kulifuna kwaligongo lyenu.
as you have also known us in part, because we are your glorying, as you 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 in this confidence I wished to come unto you sooner, that you may 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 through you to go unto Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be sent forward into Judea.
17 Ana panasachile kutenda yeleyo nkuganisya naliji jwagalaukagalauka? Pane inguganisya nguganisya kwa nganisyo sya chiundu pinguti, “Elo,” ni “Ngwamba,” kwakatema kamo?
Then wishing this, whether did I use lightness of purpose? or the things which I counsel, do I counsel according to the flesh, in order that it may be with me yes yes and no no?
18 Akunnungu ali ŵakukulupilichika, utenga wetu kukwenu ngaŵa liloŵe lyakuti “Elo,” ni “Ngwamba” kwakatema kamo.
But God is faithful, that our word which is 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 Christ Jesus, the Son of God, the one being preached by us, through me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yes and no, but it was yes in him.
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 so many promises of God, in Him are yes; therefore indeed through him they are Amen unto the glory to God through us.
21 Akunnungu nsyene ni ŵakutulimbisya uwe ni ŵanyamwe mkulumbikana ni Kilisito. Ni uŵatusagwile,
But the one confirming us along with you unto Christ, and having anointed us, is God.
22 atupele Mbumu jwakwe mmitima jetu aŵe chimanyisyo chachikulosya kuti tuli ŵandu ŵakwe, nombewo aŵele poni kwa indu yose yaatugosele.
Who also having sealed us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Akunnungu ali jwaumboni jwangu, ŵelewo akuumanyilila mtima wangu. Uneji naamwiwe ninaiche sooni ku Kolinto kukunsupusya kwakunsalila maloŵe gakalipa.
But I call God to witness to my soul, that sparing you I did not yet come into Corinth:
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 domineer over your faith, but we are fellow-workers of your joy: for by faith you stand.
