2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:

Paulusi, muapositola wa Jesu Kreste che ntato ye Ireeza, mi Timoteya mukwetu, ku nkereke ye Ireeza ina mwa Korinte, ni kuva zumina vonse vena muchilalo cha Akaiya.

2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Chisemo chive kwenu ni nkozo kuzwila kwe Ireeza ishetu ni Simwine wetu Jesu Kreste.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,

Ireeza ni Ishetu, cha Jesu Kreste Mfumwetu a tembwe. Nji yena Isii wa chisemo ni Ireeza wavo vonse va ombaombwa.

4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

Ireeza u tuombaomba muma sukuluka etu onse, ili kuti naswe tuombaombe bena mu masukuluko. Tu ombaomba vamwi sina Ireeza mwa va tuomba-ombeli.

5 For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

Sina masukuluko a Kreste ava letwa chetu, linu niku ombaombwa kwetu kutu leta hamwina cha Kreste.

6 If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience.

Kono ni hatu sukulwa, nji mukuti muwane ku ombaombwa ni impuluso. Imi hatu omaombwa, ku ombaombwa kwenu. Ku ombaombiwa kwenu kuseveza sinte chimuli kauhanyeze masukuluko chenkulo inde sina iswe mutuva sukulukili.

7 And our hope for you is sure, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you will share in our comfort.

Imi insepo yetu kwenu inkando, twizi sina nanwe hamuli kauhanyeza masukuluko, nanwe mulikauhanyeze ku ombaombwa.

8 We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia. We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life.

Linu katusaki kuti kanzi mwi zivi vakwangu, cha masukuluka atuva wani mwa Asiya. Tuva pwacolwa chakuhitiliza ahulu kuhita mutu va kuwolela kuchihindila, mane kana tuva kusepa kuti tusi wola kuhala hape.

9 Indeed, we felt we were under the sentence of death, in order that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead.

Chavu sakusima, tuvena inkatulo yefu hetu. Kono, ivali kutu pangila kuti kanzi tulisepi iwe tuvene, kono tusepe Ireeza, yo vuusa vafwile.

10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. In Him we have placed our hope that He will yet again deliver us,

Njiyena yavatu lamuleli kwi nkozi ivilala, imi, katulamulele hape, Tuva tuli insepo yetu kwali, kuti tulukule kwi nkozi hape.

11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers.

Katende ichi sina inwe hamu tu tusa cha mirapelo yenu. Linu, vungi kavahe vwitumelo cha chisemo chituhelwe 'kwetu che ntapelo zava vangi.

12 And this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in relation to you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God—not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God.

Tuli kumusa chechi; vupaki cha lizwalo lyetu. Mukuti mihupulo milotu ni kusepahala kuzwililila kwe Ireeza sina mutu batendeli iswe munkanda. Tuva tendi bulyo cha vungi nanwe- isiñi cha vutali vwe nkanda, kono cha chisemo che Ireeza.

13 For we do not write you anything that is beyond your ability to read and understand. And I hope that you will understand us completely,

Katu miñoleli zintu zi musa oli kuvala kapa kuzuwisisa. Ni sepa ka mutu zuwisise chakwizula,

14 as you have already understood us in part, so that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus.

sina hamu va tuzuwi kanini hanu. Linu mwizuva lya Mfumwetu Jesu katuve twi vaka lyenu lya kuli temba, sina mwete mu vile vetu.

15 Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.

Mukuti nivena insepo kwa mana nezi, Niva kusaka kukeza kwenu intanzi, linu kuti mutambule mipuzo cha mipotelo yo vele.

16 I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to return to you from Macedonia, and then to have you help me on my way to Judea.

Ni vaku lela ku mipotela chini kaya kwa Masedoniya. Linu hape ni vaku zeza kumi potela chini kazwa kwa Masedoniya, ni kuti inwe ze munitumine munzila yangu kuya kwa Judeya.

17 When I planned this, did I do it carelessly? Or do I make my plans by human standards, so as to say “Yes, yes” when I really mean “No, no”?

Linu hani vali kuhupula buti, niva kuhakanyeha? Kana nilela zintu mukulukela cha buntu, linu niti “Eni, eni.” mi “Awa, awa” chenako iswana?

18 But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”

Kono sina Ireeza yo sepahala katuti vulyo zonse “Eni” ni “Awa.”

19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but in Him it has always been “Yes.”

Mukuti mwana e Ireeza, Jesu Kreste, ka Silvanasi, Timoteya, ni va kutazi mukati kenu, kena “Eni” kapa “Awa.” kuhita kuti nji “Eni” chenako yonse.

20 For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God.

Mukuti insepiso zonse ze Ireeza nji “Eni” chakwe. Linu, chakwe iye mwine tuti “Amen” kwi kanya ye Ireeza.

21 Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us,

Hahanu, nji Ireeza yo tunyakisisa nanwe Kreste, imi ava tu tumi.

22 placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come.

Ava tuviki luswayo mi chatuha luhuho mwi nkulo zetu kuti ive chisupo cha chete natuhe.

23 I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.

Kuhita kuti, ni sumpa Ireeza kuti ave mpaki yangu mwi vaka anisena nivezi kwa korinte ivavi kuti nimi sileleze.

24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers with you for your joy, because it is by faith that you stand firm.

Izi kena kuti tusaka kuyendisa entumelo yenu mwi swanela kuvila. Kuhita kuti, tukwete kuseveza nanwe kuti muve nentavo, sina hamu zimene muntumelo yenu.
