2 Corinthians 7
1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Ya mere, ndị enyi m, ebe anyị nwere nkwa ndị a niile, ka anyị debe onwe anyị ọcha nʼime ihe niile ọbụla nke na-emerụ ahụ anyị na mmụọ anyị. Ka anyị mezuo ịdị nsọ nʼịtụ egwu Chineke.
2 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
Megheenụ obi unu nabata anyị, nʼihi na o nweghị onye ọbụla nʼetiti unu anyị mere ihe ọjọọ. O nwekwaghị onye anyị duhiere. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla anyị rigburu.
3 I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
Anaghị m ekwu ihe ndị a ka m maa unu ikpe, dịka m kwuburu na mbụ, na anyị bu unu nʼobi anyị, ịdịkọ ndụ, maọbụ ịnwụkọkwa ọnwụ nʼotu.
4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
Nkwuwa okwu m ji gwa unu okwu dị ukwuu; ịnya isi m nʼihi unu dịkwa ukwuu. Abụ m onye a gbara ume nʼebe ọ dị ukwu, nʼime ọnọdụ ahụhụ anyị niile, ana m aṅụrịbiga ọṅụ oke.
5 For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
Nʼihi na mgbe anyị batara Masidonia, anyị enweghị izuike ma ọlị. Kama mkpagbu si nʼaka nri na aka ekpe bịakwute anyị, ọgụ nʼezi, egwu nʼime.
6 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
Ma otu ọ dị, Chineke, onye na-agba ndị ike gwụrụ ume, gbara anyị ume site nʼọbịbịa Taịtọs.
7 and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
Ọ bụkwaghị naanị nʼihi na ọbịbịa ọ bịara nyere anyị obi ụtọ, kama akụkọ o ji bịa, gbasara otu unu si gbaa ya ume, gwakwa anyị otu unu si na-ele anya ịhụ m, na otu unu si na-eru ụjụ nʼihi ihe niile mere, na otu unu si guzosie ike nʼukwu m, na ụdị ịhụnanya unu nwere nʼebe m nọ, obi tọrọ m ụtọ nke ukwuu.
8 For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.
Ọ naghị ewutekwa m ugbu a na m deere unu akwụkwọ ahụ, ọ bụ ezie na o wutere m mgbe ahụ m na-ede ya, nʼihi na amaara m na ọ ga-ewetara unu obi ọjọọ mgbe unu gụrụ ya. Ma obi ọjọọ ahụ abụrụla naanị nke nwa oge nta.
9 I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
Ma ugbu a ana m aṅụrị ọṅụ na m dere akwụkwọ ahụ. Ọ bụghị nʼihi na ọgụgụ ya wetaara unu obi ọjọọ, kama ọ bụ nʼihi na mwute o wutere unu emeela ka unu chegharịa. Ụdị mwute unu nwere bụ ụdị mwute Chineke chọrọ ka ndị nke ya nwee. Ya mere, o nweghị ihe ọjọọ bịakwasịrị unu nʼihi akwụkwọ anyị deere unu.
10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
Nʼihi na iru ụjụ otu Chineke chọrọ na-eweta nchegharị nke na-eduba mmadụ na nzọpụta, bụ nchegharị nke a na-apụghị ịkwa ụta banyere ya. Ma iru ụjụ dịka ụwa si eme na-eweta ọnwụ.
11 For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
Leenụ ihe Chineke rụpụtara site nʼihe mwute dakwasịrị unu. Ugbu a, unu abụrụla ndị ọ na-anụ ọkụ nʼobi na ndị jikeere izi anyị na aka unu abụọ dị ọcha. Lee otu unu si zi iwe unu, otu unu si zikwa na ihe ahụ wutere unu. Lee otu unu si tụọ ụjọ ihe mmehie ahụ nwere ike iwetara unu. Leekwanụ otu unu si mee ihe niile igosi na unu kwagidere m. Leekwanụ otu unu si nye onye ahụ mere mmehie ahụ ntaramahụhụ ngwangwa. Unu egosila na aka unu dị ọcha nʼokwu ndị a niile.
12 So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
Ọ bụ ezie na m deere unu akwụkwọ ahụ, ma edeghị m ya nʼihi onye ahụ mehiere, maọbụ nʼihi onye ahụ e mehiere megide. Kama edere m ya ime ka Chineke gosi unu otu ihe gbasara anyị si na-anụ unu ọkụ nʼobi.
13 Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
Nʼụzọ niile ndị a, anyị bụ ndị a gbara ume site nʼịhụnanya unu nwere nʼebe anyị nọ. A gbara anyị ume karịa site na ịhụ ọṅụ Taịtọs nʼihi nnabata unu nabatara, na otu unu si mee ka mmụọ ya zuru ike mgbe ọ bịakwutere unu.
14 For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
Nʼihi na tupu ọ hapụ anyị bịakwute unu, anyara m isi nʼihu ya banyere unu; ugbu a, obi dị m ụtọ nke ukwuu nʼihi na unu emeghị ka ihere mee m. Anyị ekwuola eziokwu nye unu. Ugbu a, ịnya isi m nʼebe Taịtọs nọ egosila na anyị bụ ndị eziokwu.
15 His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
Ugbu a, ịhụnanya o nwere nʼebe unu nọ na-aba ụba nke ukwuu, nʼihi ncheta ọ na-echeta otu unu niile si jiri ọṅụ gee ya ntị na otu unu si jiri ịtụ egwu na ahụ ịma jijiji nabata ya.
16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
Nke a na-enyekwa m obi ụtọ nʼihi na enwere m ntụkwasị obi nʼebe unu nọ nʼime ihe niile.
