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:
Kalata ilafumunga kuli njame Paulo walasalwa ne Lesa kuba mutumwa wa Klistu Yesu ndi ne mukwetu Timoti, ndalembelenga ku mubungano wa bantu bashoma Lesa bali mu Kolinto ne kubanse bonse bali mucibela ca Akaya.
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Inkumbo ne lumuno lwa Lesa Ishetu ne Mwami Yesu Klistu bibe ne njamwe.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
Katumulumbaishani Lesa Baishi Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu Lesa wankumbo, Lesa ukute kutontosha mu nshila iliyonse,
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.
ukute kututontosha twaba ne mapensho kwambeti ne njafwe tucikonshe kutontosha banetu bali mu mapensho amushobo uliwonse, pakwinga ne njafwe Lesa latutontoshonga.
5 For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
Nambi tulakumananga ne mapensho angi pacebo ca Klistu, kayi tulatontoshewanga kupitila muli Klistu.
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.
Mapensho ngotulakumananga nawo alamupanga katonto kwambeti mupuluke, na afwe katutontoshewa ne njamwe mwela kutontoshewa kwambeti, mucikonshe kwakoma mapensho awo ne njafwe ngotulakumananga nawo.
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.
Neco kupembelela kwetu nkotukute muli njamwe nkakulatenkananga sobwe, pakwinga tucisheti mulakumananga ne mapensho akoshana ne ngotulakumananga nawo, ne njamwe ni mukacane kutontoshewa,
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.
mobanse bame, tusuni kwambeti mwinshibe lipensho ndyotwalakumana nalyo mu cimpansha ca Asiya lyalikuba linene kayi lyalatulemena cakwinseti twalapwilwa mano.
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.
Cakubinga mu myoyo yetu twalikunyumfweti tulatambulu kendi lombolosho lwakufwa. Ici calenshika kwambeti tuleke kulishoma tobene, nsombi kwambeti tushome Lesa uyo ukute kucikonsha kupundusha bafwa.
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,
Walatufuna mu mapensho alikuyanda kututwala kulufu, kayi nakatufune, ndashoma kwambeti na tuloshomo nakatufune,
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.
mbuli ncomukute kutunyamfwa mu mipailo yenu, neco mipailo yabantu bangi pali njafwe nikakumbulwe ne Lesa, kayi Lesa nakatuleleke. Bantu bangi nibakalumbaishe Lesa.
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.
Lino pali cintu cilatupanga kulilumbanya tobene pakwinga miyeyo yetu ilatupanga bukamboni bwa kwambeti kulikonse nkotwalapita, makamaka pakati penu, tulenshi bintu byalulama, kayi munshila yashomeka kwelana ne luyando lwa Lesa. Nkatwali kutanguninwa ne mano a muntu sobwe, nsombi lwalikuba luse lwa Lesa.
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,
Makalata ngotulamulembelenga nkashupa kwabelenga ne kwanyumfwishisha, nomba ne kukabeco mulanyumfwishishingowa mbasu imo pa bintu mbyotulamulembelenga,
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.
nomba ndashoma kwambeti ku masuba akuntangu nimukanyumfwishishe. Pabusuba mbweshakese Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu, mwense nimukalilumbaishe cebo ca njafwe, ne njafwe tukalilumbaishe cebo ca njamwe.
15 Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.
Cebo cakushoma kulico, ndayeyanga kwambeti ndimufwakashile nanshi, kwambeti mukapewe colwe mankanda abili.
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.
Ndayeyanga kwisa kumufwakashila ndakayanga ku Makedoniya kwambeti, pakufuma uko mukanyamfweko bintu bilayandikinga mu bulwendo bwakame bwa kuya ku Yudeya.
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”?
Sena mulayeyengeti mpondalikuyeya sha kumufwakashila ndalikuyeyeti mwana wabula mano? sena ndilyeti muntu walisuna pakwinsa bintu, uyo wela kwambeti “Ee” Kayi eti “sobwe” Pacindi cimocimo?
18 But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
Mbuli Lesa ncatabepe bantu, ncendalamulaya nkacalikuba cakusankanya maswi akwambeti “Ee”Nambi “Sobwe.”
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.”
Pakwinga Klistu Yesu Mwanendi Lesa uyo ngotwalikukambauka ame ndekali Paulo, nambi Sailasi ne Timoti, nkalikuba wakwambeti “Ee” Nambi “Sobwe” Kuli njamwe, nsombi walikuba cindi conse “Ee” Wa Lesa.
20 For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God.
Nambi malayano a Lesa afula aconi mulyendiye onse akute kuba “Ee” Ecebo cakendi ncotukute kwambileti, “Ameni” Pacindi ncotukute kulumbanya Lesa.
21 Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us,
Lesa eukute kulengesha kwambeti afwe ne njamwe tube bayuminina nta muli Klistu, kayi ewalatutuma.
22 placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come.
Ewalatubika cando cakendi cakushomesha, kayi mumoyo wa muntu umo ne umo walatupa Mushimu Uswepa kubeti cishomesho ca bintu byeti bikese.
23 I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.
Nomba Lesa ampe cisubulo na ame nkandambanga cancinencine, capesha kwambeti mbule kwisa ku Kolinto nicakwambeti kantakamukansa kayi.
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.
Nkatulamukakatishinga bintu mbyomwela kushoma sobwe, pakwinga tucishi kwambeti mukute lushomo lwayuma. Neco njafwe basebenshi banenu pacebo ca kukondwa kwenu.
