< 2 Corinthians 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
Paulo, mtume wa Kristo Yesu kwa mapenzi hga Nnongo, ni Timotheo nnongo witu, kwa likanisa lya Nnongo lyalibile Korintho, na kwa baumini bote babile mu'nkoa wote wa Akaya.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Neema na ibe kwinu na amani boka kwa Nnongo Tate yitu ni Ngwana Yesu kristo.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
Na asifiwe Nnongo na Tate wa Ngwana Yesu Kristo. Ywembe ni Tate wa rehema na Nnongo wa faraja yote.
4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
Nnongo utufariji twenga katika mateso yitu yote, ili panga tyweze kuafariji balo babile katika mateso. Tunaafariji wenge kwa faraja yeyelo ambayo Nnongo aitumile kutufariji twenga.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.
Kwa kuwa kati ya mateso ga Kristo uongezeka kwa ajili yitu, nyonyonyo faraja yitu uongezeka pitya Kristo.
6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
Lakini kati twaataabishwa, ni kwa ajili ya faraja yinu ni wokovu winu. Na mana twafarijiwa, ni kwa ajili ya faraja yinu. Faraja yinu panga kazi kikamilifu pamwashiriki mateso kwa uvumulivu kati twenga kae twateseka.
7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.
Na ujasiri witu nnani yinu ni thabiti. Tutangite panga kati ya ambavyo mwatishiriki mateso, nyonyonyo mwatishiriki faraja.
8 For we do not desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
Kwa kuwa tupala kwaa mwenga muwe alalo, alongo, kuhusu matatizo yatubile nayo kolo Asia. Twationewa zaidi ya twatiweza potwa, kati panga tubile kwaa ni litumaini lya tama kae.
9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
Kweli twabile ni hukumu ya kiwo nnani yitu. Lakini yoo yabile ni kutupanga twenga tubeke kwaa litumaini nnani yitu wene, badala yake tubeke litumaini katika Nnongo, ywafufua bandu.
10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us,
Ywatulopwile twenga boka ago maafa ga mauti, na alowa kutulopwa kae. Tubekite ujasiri witu katika ywembe panga alowa kutulopwa kae.
11 you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.
Alowa panga nyoo kati ya mwenga yamwatitusaidia twenga kwa maombi ginu. Nga nyoo baingi baloa toa shukrani kwa niaba yitu kwa ajili ya upendeleo wa nema tupyilwe twenga pitya maombi ya baingi.
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
Twaipunia lee: ushuhuda wa dhamiri yitu. kwa mana ni katika nia sapi ni usapi wa Nnongo panga twatiyenda wene katika dunia. Tupangite nyoo hasa ni mwenga, na katika hekima kwaa ya ulimwengu, lakini badala yake ni pitya neema ya Nnongo.
13 For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end—
Twaandikiya kwaa chochote ambacho muweza kwaa kukisoma au elewa. Nibile na ujasiri
14 as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
panga kwa sehemu muyomwile kutuyowa. Nibile ni ujasiri katika lisoba lya Ngwana Yesu twalowa sababu yinu kwa ajili ya kiburi chinu, kati yaa mwamubile kwitu.
15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,
Kwa mana nibile na ujasiri kuhusu lee, nipala isa kwinu kwanza, ili panga muweze pakya faida ya tembelewa mara ibele.
16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.
Nibile najiandaa kubatembelea kae wakati wakuyenda Makedonia. Kae nipala isa kubatembelea kae muda nakerebuka boka Makedonia, na boka po mwenga kunituma nenga wakati niyenga Uyahudi.
17 When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”
Panibile nawasa namna yee, je nibile nasitasita? Je naandaa nakowe lingana na viwango ya bandu, ili panga nibaye, “Eloo, eloo” na Hapana, hapana” kwa muda umo?
18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”
Lakini kati Nnongo ya abile mwaminifu, twabaya kwaa yoti “Eloo” na “Hapana.'
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”
Kwa kuwa mwana wa Nnongo, Yesu Kristo, ywabile Silvano, Timotheo ni nenga twabile twantangaza nkati yinu, abile kwaa “Eloo” na “Hapana.” Badala yake, ywembe wakati woti ni “Eloo.”
20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.
Kwa mana ahadi zoti za Nnongo ni “Eloo” katika ywembe. Nga nyo kae pitya ywembe twabaya 'Amina” kwa utukufu wa Nnongo.
21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,
Nambeambe Nnongo ywaatuthibitisha twenga pamope ni mwenga katika Kristo, nga atutumile twenga.
22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
Abekitea muhuri nnani yitu na kutupeya Roho katika mioyo yitu kati dhamana ya chelo chabile alowa kutupeya baadae.
23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I did not come to Corinth.
Badala yake, namloba Nnongo anishuhudie nenga panga sababu yanipangile niise kwaa Korintho panga nibaelemee kwaa mwenga.
24 We do not control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
Ayee ibile kwaa sababu twajaribu dhibiti jinsi imani yinu yaipalikwa kuwa, Badala yake, tupanga pamope ni mwenga kwa ajili ya puraha yinu, kati yamuyemite katika imani yinu.
