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 a legate of Jesus the Messiah, by the good pleasure of God; and Timothy a brother; to the church of God that is at Corinth, and to all the saints that are in all Achaia.
2 Tukwaŵenda Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito ampe ntuuka ni chitendewele.
Grace be with you, and peace, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
3 Alapikwe Akunnungu ŵaali Atati ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito ni Atati ŵaali ni chanasa ni Akunnungu ŵa utulasyo wose.
Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, 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.
who comforteth us in all our afflictions, that we also might be able to comfort those who are in all afflictions, with the consolation wherewith we are comforted by God.
5 Mpela ila igakuti kupunda kukwetu malagasyo kwaligongo lya kwatumichila Kilisito, iyoyopeyo ni itukuti kutulaswa kwannope ni Kilisito.
For, as the sufferings of the Messiah abound in us, so also our consolation aboundeth by the Messiah.
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.
And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and for your life that we are afflicted; or whether we be comforted, it is, that ye may be comforted; and that there may be in you an eagerness, wherewith ye may endure those 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 concerning you is steadfast: for we know, that if ye partake of the sufferings, ye will also partake 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.
But, my brethren, we wish you to know, respecting the affliction that was upon us in Asia, that we were afflicted exceedingly, beyond our strength, insomuch that our life was ready to terminate.
9 Isyene mmitima jetu twaganisisye kuti tuli mpela ŵalamulikwe kuulagwa. Yakopochele yeleyo kuti tukagakulupilila machili getu twachinsyene nambo twakulupilile Akunnungu ŵakwasyusya ŵandu ŵawile.
And we passed a sentence of death upon ourselves, that our confidence might not be in ourselves, but in God, who raiseth up the dead;
10 Ŵelewo ŵatukulupwisye mmalagasyo gala gagasachile kutuulaga ni chapunde kutukulupusya. Noweji tukwalolela ŵelewo kuti chatukulupusye sooni.
who rescued us from imminent death: and we hope that he will again rescue us,
11 Ŵanyamwe nkutukamusya uwe kwakutupopelela. Nipele Akunnungu chagajanje mapopelo genu ni chatupe upile, ni ŵandu achajinji chiŵatogolele Akunnungu kwaligongo lyetu.
by the aid of your prayers in our behalf; so that his gift to us may be a favor done for the sake of many, and many may praise him on our account.
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 rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and purity, and by the grace of God, and not in the wisdom of the flesh, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially towards you.
13 Tukunnembela ŵanyamwe indu yankukombola kusyoma ni kuimanyilila. Ngulolela chinnyimanyilile yambone,
We write no other things unto you, than those which ye know and acknowledge. And I trust, ye will acknowledge them to the end:
14 nachiŵamuno sambano nkutumanyilila kanandi, nipele pa lyuŵa lichauje Ambuje chinlifune kwaligongo lyetu ni uweji yachitujile pa kulifuna kwaligongo lyenu.
as ye have also partially acknowledged that we are your rejoicing, as ye also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
15 Isyene naliji ni chele chilolelo, nasachile kaje kwika kukwenu kuti nkole upile kwa kumona une kaaŵili.
And in this confidence, I was before disposed to come to you, that ye might receive the grace doubly;
16 Ngulapilila kupitila kukwenu ndili ngwaula kuchilambo cha ku Makedonia ni pakuuja, kuti mungamusye mu ulendo wangu wa kwaula ku Yudea.
and to pass by you into Macedonia, and again to come to you from Macedonia, and so ye would accompany me to Judaea.
17 Ana panasachile kutenda yeleyo nkuganisya naliji jwagalaukagalauka? Pane inguganisya nguganisya kwa nganisyo sya chiundu pinguti, “Elo,” ni “Ngwamba,” kwakatema kamo?
When therefore I thus purposed, did I purpose as one inconsiderate? Or, were the things I purposed, things of the flesh; so that there should be in them Yes, yes, and No, no?
18 Akunnungu ali ŵakukulupilichika, utenga wetu kukwenu ngaŵa liloŵe lyakuti “Elo,” ni “Ngwamba” kwakatema kamo.
God is the witness, that our word to you was 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 the Messiah, who was preached to you by us, namely, by me, by Sylvanus, and by Timotheus, 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 all the promises of God in him, the Messiah, are Yes; for which cause, we through him give our Amen, to the glory of God.
21 Akunnungu nsyene ni ŵakutulimbisya uwe ni ŵanyamwe mkulumbikana ni Kilisito. Ni uŵatusagwile,
Now it is God who establisheth us, with you, in the Messiah, and hath anointed us,
22 atupele Mbumu jwakwe mmitima jetu aŵe chimanyisyo chachikulosya kuti tuli ŵandu ŵakwe, nombewo aŵele poni kwa indu yose yaatugosele.
and hath sealed us, and hath given the earnest of his Spirit in our hearts.
23 Akunnungu ali jwaumboni jwangu, ŵelewo akuumanyilila mtima wangu. Uneji naamwiwe ninaiche sooni ku Kolinto kukunsupusya kwakunsalila maloŵe gakalipa.
Moreover, I call God for a witness on my soul, that it was in order to spare you, that I came not to 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 are lords over your faith, but we are helpers of your joy; for it is by faith ye stand.
