< 2 Corinthians 7 >
1 Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Bhapendwa bhangu, kwa ndabha tuye ni ahadi ese, na tujitakisiayi tayhoto kwa kila lijambo lalika tuketa tuyelai tabhachafu mu mibhele yhitu kiroho. Na tuulondai utakatifu kihofu ya k'yara.
2 Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.
Mketai nafasi kwa jia ya yhoto! Tunkosili hee munu yuoayola. Tanzulili lepi munu yuoayola. Tujinufaishi lepi kwa faida ya munu yuoayola.
3 I do not say this to condemn you. I have said before that you so occupy our hearts that we live and die together with you.
Nijobha ele so kwa kubhalaumu. Ndabha ni malili Kujobha kujo muyele mu miteema yhitu, kwa tete kufwa pamonga ni kuishi pamonga.
4 Great is my confidence in you; great is my pride in you; I am filled with encouragement; in all our troubles my joy overflows.
Niyele ni ukifu ubhaa mugati ya yhomo, na nikajifunula ndabha ya yhomo. Nimemili ni fulaha hata pagati pa mateso ghitu ghoa.
5 For when we arrived in Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were pressed from every direction—conflicts on the outside, fears within.
Twahidili Makedonia, mibhele ya yhoto yaayele hee yakup'homoseka. Badala yaki, takabhili taabu kwa namna syoa Kutobhibhwa vita upandi wa kwibhala ni hofu upandi wa mugati.
6 But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus,
Lakini K'yara, yaakabhafaliji yabhakatili tamaa, atufaliji kwa ujio wa Tito.
7 and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more.
Yayele hee kwa kuhida muene kuwa K'yara atufaliji. Yayele kabhele falaja sela Tito saasipokili kuhomela kwa yhomo. Muene atujobhili ya kuwa upendo ubhaa wamyele nabhu, kuhuzunika kwa yhomo, nakamwayele ni wasi wasi kwajia ya nene. Efu nizidili kuhobhoka nesu.
8 Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Although I did regret it, I now see that my letter caused you sorrow, but only for a short time.
Hata kujo walaka bhuangu wabhafwanyili kusikitika, nikaujutila liee. Ila nijutila pana ubhona walaka obho ubhafwanyili muyelai ni huzuni muenga. Ila so mwayele ni huzuni kwa mda udebe.
9 And now I rejoice, not because you were made sorrowful, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you felt the sorrow that God had intended, and so were not harmed in any way by us.
Henu nihobholela, so kwa ndabha mwayele ni shida, ndabha huzuni sinu sabhaletili mu toba. Mwakabhili huzuni ya kiungu, hombi mwa tesibhu sikihasala ndabha ya tete.
10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
Ndabha huzuni ya kiungu yileta toba yayika milisya wokovu wa bila ya kuya ni majuto. Huzuni ya kidunia, hata kabhele, yileta mauti.
11 Consider what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what vindication! In every way you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
Mlangai huzuni eye ya kiungu yakizalishi azma yeleku ibhaa mugati mwinu. Namna yeleku azma kayayele ubhaa mugati mwa yhomo kwa kulasya kujo mwayelepi ni hatia. Kwa namna yeleku uchungu wa yhomo kauyele ubhaa, hofu yhimo, matamanilu ghinu, bidii yhinu, ni shauku yhinu ya kubhona kutya haki kayilondeka kuketibhwa! kup'etela kila lijambo yamsibitishi mwa yhomo kutokuyani hatia.
12 So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did wrong or the one who was harmed, but rather that your earnestness on our behalf would be made clear to you in the sight of God.
Kujobhela nabhayandikili muenga, nayandiki lepi kwajia ya mkosaji, wala so kwa munu ya atesibhu ni maovu. Nayandiki ya ndabha uzati wa miteema ya yhomo kwajia ya tete ibhuesya kumanyikana kwa yhomo palongolo pa mihu gha K'yara.
13 On account of this, we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were even more delighted by the joy of Titus. For his spirit has been refreshed by all of you.
Ni ndabha ya ele kujo tifalijika. Kup'etela nyongesya ya falaja ya yhoto tabhene, tihobholela kabhele, kabhele kuzidi ndabha ya Tito, ndabha roho yaki yabhabuludishi ni muenga mwabhoa.
14 Indeed, I was not embarrassed by anything I had boasted to him about you. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus has proved to be true as well.
Yakuwa kujo najifunili kwa muene kuhisiana ni muenga nayele hee nisoni. Kinyume kyaki, kutya tukaliayi lilobhi latajobhili kwa yhomo layele la ukueli, majifuno ghitu kup'etela Tito ghasibitishu kujo gha ukueli.
15 And his affection for you is even greater when he remembers that you were all obedient as you welcomed him with fear and trembling.
Upendo bhuake kwajia ya yhomo hata kujo mmbaa zaidi, Katya kaikhomboka utii bhkimo mwabhoa, kutya kamwamkalibisi muene ki hofu ni kutelemeka.
16 I rejoice that I can have complete confidence in you.
Nihobholela ndabha ya ukifu ubhaa mugati mwinu.
