2 Corinthians 13
1 This is the third time I am coming to you. “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”
Au uli ulendo wangu waatatu uchiiche kukwenu. Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu igakuti kusala, “Magambo gose chigakaluche kwa kang'wa sya ŵandu ŵaŵili pane kupunda”
2 I already warned you the second time I was with you. So now in my absence I warn those who sinned earlier and everyone else: If I return, I will not spare anyone,
Natandite kunjamuka panaiche kukwenu pa ulendo wangu waaŵili, ni sambano ngunjamuka sooni pandi kwakutalichila, yakuti pachinjiika ngaangola chanasa kwa aŵala wose ŵalongolele kutenda sambi ni akwendelechela kutenda sambi, ni ŵane wose.
3 since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.
Chimuumanyilile usyene wose, kuti Kilisito akuŵecheta ni ŵanyamwe kwalitala lya kang'wa jangu. Kukwenu Kilisito nganaŵa ŵakulepetala paakulichenjeusya ni indu yenu, nambo akugalosya machili gao pasikati jenu.
4 For He was indeed crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. And though we are weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live with Him to serve you.
Atamuno ŵaliji ŵakulepetela paŵaŵambikwe pansalaba, nambo sambano akutama kwa machili ga Akunnungu. Iyoyopeyo noweji tuli ŵakulepetala kwakulumbikana nawo, nambo patukulilagasya kwa ligongo lyenu chitutame nawo kwa machili ga Akunnungu.
5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Can’t you see for yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you actually fail the test?
Nlipime mwachinsyene, nnyimanyilile kanga nlimbilichile mu chikulupi. Ana, ngankwimanyilila kuti Che Yesu Kilisito akutama munkati mwenu? Naga ngakutama nkati mwenu, nlepele.
6 And I hope you will realize that we have not failed the test.
Nambo ngwete chilolelo chakuti ŵanyamwe nkuimanyilila kuti uweji nganitulepela.
7 Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not that we will appear to have stood the test, but that you will do what is right, even if we appear to have failed.
Noweji tukwapopelela Akunnungu, nkantenda chachili chose changalumbana, ni uwe ngatukusaka tulolechele ni ŵandu kuti ŵakombole. Nambo, nkombole kuipanganya yaili yambone, namose yalolechelaga mpela ŵalepele.
8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.
Pakuŵa ngatukukombola kupanganya chachili chose chachikukanilana ni usyene. Nambo kuujimilila usyenepe.
9 In fact, we rejoice when we are weak but you are strong, and our prayer is for your perfection.
Tukusengwa patukuŵa ŵakulepetala, ŵanyamwe nli ŵakulimbangana. Kwayele tukwapopela Akunnungu kuti mmeje ŵamalile.
10 This is why I write these things while absent, so that when I am present I will not need to be severe in my use of the authority that the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.
Kwaligongo lyo, ngulemba aga ndili ndalichile ni ŵanyamwe, melepe kuti katema kachiiche kweleko, ngasima jwachikali malinga ni ukombole wambele Ambuje wa kunlimbisya ŵanyamwe ngaŵa kunlepetesya.
11 Finally, brothers, rejoice! Aim for perfect harmony, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
Pambesi achalongo achinjangu nguti nne mwanja. Mmeje ŵamalilwe, mpembesyaneje jwine ni jwine, mmeje ni nningwa umo, ntame mu chitendewele. Nombe Akunnungu ŵa unonyelo ni chitendewele chachiŵa ni ŵanyamwe.
12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.
Nkomasyane kwakulosyana unonyelo wa Kilisito.
13 All the saints send you greetings.
Ntuuka wa Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito, ni unonyelo wa Akunnungu ni ukamulangano wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu utame ni ŵanyamwe wose.
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.
Ntuuka wa Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito ni unonyelo wa Akunnungu ni ukamulangano wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu utame ni ŵanyamwe wose.
