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:
Polo, ntoma ya Yesu-Klisto, kolanda mokano ya Nzambe, mpe ndeko Timote; Epai ya Lingomba ya Nzambe, oyo ezali kati na Kolinto; mpe epai ya basantu nyonso oyo bazali kati na Akayi mobimba:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino kowuta na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto!
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
Tika ete Nzambe mpe Tata ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, apambolama! Azali Tata oyo ayokelaka bato mawa, mpe Nzambe oyo abondisaka bato kati na makambo nyonso:
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.
abondisaka biso kati na pasi ya lolenge nyonso mpo ete biso mpe tokoka kobondisa bato oyo bazali kati na pasi ya lolenge nyonso, na nzela ya kobondisama oyo biso mpe tozwaka kowuta na Ye Nzambe.
5 For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
Pamba te, ndenge kaka tomonaka pasi mingi kati na Klisto, ndenge wana mpe Klisto abondisaka biso makasi.
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.
Boye soki tozali komona pasi, ezali mpo na kobondisama mpe lobiko na bino. Soki mpe biso tobondisami, ezali mpo ete bino mpe bobondisama mpo na koyikela pasi oyo tozali komona elongo na bino mpiko.
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.
Boye, tozali solo na elikya makasi na tina na bino, pamba te toyebi malamu ete ndenge kaka bozali komona pasi elongo na biso, ndenge wana mpe bozali kozwa kobondisama elongo na biso.
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.
Solo, bandeko, na tina na pasi oyo ekweyelaki biso kati na etuka ya Azia, tolingi boyeba malamu ete tonyokwamaki mingi kino ata kolemba nzoto mpe kobungisa elikya ya kokoba kozala na bomoi.
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.
Solo, tomonaki kaka ete basili kokatela biso etumbu ya kufa. Nzokande, ezalaki mpo ete tolongola elikya na bomoto na biso, kasi tozala na elikya nde na Nzambe oyo asekwisaka bakufi.
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,
Ye nde akangolaki biso na makama ya kufa ya lolenge wana, mpe akokangola biso lisusu. Solo, tozali na elikya kati na Ye ete akokangola biso lisusu,
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.
awa bozali kosala elongo na biso na nzela ya mabondeli na bino. Boye, bato ebele bakozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe na tina na biso mpo na likabo ya ngolu oyo azali kopesa biso lokola eyano na mabondeli ya bato ebele.
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.
Tala likambo oyo tokoki komikumisa na yango: mitema na biso ezali kotatola ete, kati na mokili mpe mingi penza na miso na bino, totambolaki na bosantu mpe na bosolo oyo ewutaka na Nzambe. Totambolaki bongo na bwanya ya bomoto te, kasi na ngolu ya Nzambe.
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,
Solo, tokomelaka bino makambo mosusu te, kaka makambo oyo bozali kotanga to oyo boyebi malamu. Mpe nazali na elikya ete bokososola penza malamu kino na suka,
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.
ndenge kaka bosili kososola yango mwa moke, ete bokoki penza komikumisa na tina na biso, ndenge mpe biso tokomikumisa na tina na bino na mokolo ya Nkolo Yesu.
15 Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.
Na elikya yango, nazalaki na mabongisi ya koya liboso epai na bino mpo ete bokoka kozwa ngolu ya mibale;
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.
mpe mpo ete, longwa epai na bino, nakende na Masedwane, mpe, sima na ngai kowuta na Masedwane, nazonga lisusu epai na bino mpo ete nazwa lisungi ya kokoba mobembo na ngai kino na Yuda.
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”?
Boni, elingi koloba ete namikakolaki tango nasalaki mabongisi yango to mpe elingi koloba ete nasalaka mabongisi na ngai kolanda baposa ya bomoto, mpo ete, na mbala moko, nandima likambo mpe naboya yango lisusu?
18 But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
Kasi lokola ezali solo ete Nzambe azali Moyengebene, maloba oyo toyebisaki bino ezali te « iyo » mpe « te. »
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.”
Pamba te Yesu-Klisto, Mwana na Nzambe, oyo ngai Silasi mpe Timote toteyaki bino, azalaki te « iyo » mpe « te; » kasi kati na Ye, ezalaki tango nyonso « iyo. »
20 For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God.
Pamba te bilaka nyonso ya Nzambe ezalaka « iyo » kati na Klisto; mpe ezali na nzela na Ye Klisto nde tolobaka « amen » mpo na nkembo ya Nzambe.
21 Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us,
Nzokande, ezali Nzambe nde alendisaka biso mpe bino kati na Klisto; mpe lokola abulisaki biso na nzela ya epakolami na Ye,
22 placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come.
abetaki biso kashe na Ye lokola libula na Ye, mpe atiaki Molimo na Ye kati na mitema na biso lokola ndanga ya biloko oyo akopesa biso.
23 I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.
Nazali kolapa ndayi na Kombo ya Nzambe mpe likolo ya bomoi na ngai ete ezalaki te mpo na kolukela bino mindondo nde nazongaki lisusu te na Kolinto;
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.
ezali mpe te mpo na kokonza kondima na bino, kasi tozali kosala elongo na bino mpo na esengo na bino, pamba te botelemi ngwi kati na kondima.
