< 2 Corinthians 6 >
1 But [as] fellow-workmen, we also beseech that ye receive not the grace of God in vain:
Dịka ndị ha na ya na-arụkọ ọrụ nʼotu, anyị na-arịọ arịrịọ sị unu ahapụla ịnara amara a Chineke na-enye unu nʼefu.
2 (for he says, I have listened to thee in an accepted time, and I have helped thee in a day of salvation: behold, now [is the] well-accepted time; behold, now [the] day of salvation: )
Nʼihi na ọ na-ekwu, “Nʼoge m na-anara mmadụ nke ọma anụrụ m olu unu. Ọ bụkwa ụbọchị nzọpụta ka m nyeere unu aka.” Lee, ugbu a bụ oge a na-anabata mmadụ nke ọma, ugbu a bụ ụbọchị nzọpụta.
3 giving no manner of offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed;
Anyị etinyeghị ihe ịsọ ngọngọ nʼụzọ onye ọbụla ka ọ ghara iwetara ọrụ anyị ihe ịta ụta.
4 but in everything commending ourselves as God's ministers, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in straits,
Kama nʼime ihe niile, anyị na-agbalịsị ike ime ka ndị mmadụ mara na anyị bụ ndị na-ejere Chineke ozi. Anyị ji ndidi na ntachiobi na-edi nsogbu niile na mkpagbu niile na ahụhụ niile na-adakwasị anyị.
5 in stripes, in prisons, in riots, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,
A na-eti anyị ihe otiti ọtụtụ mgbe. E tinyekwala anyị nʼime ụlọ mkpọrọ dị iche iche. Ọtụtụ mgbe ka igwe mmadụ tikwara anyị ihe otiti. Anyị na-adọgbu onwe anyị nʼọrụ. Ọtụtụ abalị anyị nọkwara nʼime ịmụ anya na-erighị nri,
6 in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in [the] Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,
nʼime ịdị ọcha na ezi nghọta na ntachiobi nke anyị nwere, nʼinwe obiọma na ezi ịhụnanya nke ihu abụọ nʼadịghị na ya nʼime Mmụọ Nsọ,
7 in [the] word of truth, in [the] power of God; through the arms of righteousness on the right hand and left,
sitekwa nʼikwu eziokwu na site nʼike Chineke. Anyị buru ezi omume dịka ngwa agha nʼaka nri na nʼaka ekpe.
8 through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report: as deceivers, and true;
Ụfọdụ na-asọpụrụ anyị ma ndị ọzọ na-eme anyị ihe ihere. Ụfọdụ na-ata anyị ụta, ma ụfọdụ na-eto anyị. Ụfọdụ mmadụ na-agụ anyị dị ka ndị ụgha, ma anyị nọgidesịrị ike na-ekwu eziokwu.
9 as unknown, and well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as disciplined, and not put to death;
Ụwa amaghị anyị, ma a maara anyị. Ọ bụ ezie na anyị na ọnwụ na-anọ nso mgbe niile, ma lee anyị ka dịkwa ndụ. A na-ata anyị ahụhụ, ma lee anyị anwụghị.
10 as grieved, but always rejoicing; as poor, but enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
Anyị na-anọ nʼihe mwute mgbe niile, ma lee ọṅụ juru anyị obi. Anyị bụ ndị ogbenye, ma anyị na-eme ka ọtụtụ mmadụ bụrụ ndị ọgaranya. Anyị enweghị ihe ọbụla, ma lee anyị nwere ihe niile.
11 Our mouth is opened to you, Corinthians, our heart is expanded.
Ndị enyi anyị nọ na Kọrint, anyị agwala unu ihe niile dị anyị nʼobi, anyị emeghepụla obi anyị nye unu.
12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your affections;
Anyị ji obi anyị niile hụ unu nʼanya, ma unu mechiri obi unu nʼebe anyị nọ.
13 but for an answering recompense, (I speak as to children, ) let your heart also expand itself.
Ugbu a, ana m ekwu dịka ana m agwa ụmụntakịrị. Na-emesonu anyị dịka anyị si emeso unu, meenụ ka obi unu saa mbara nʼebe anyị nọ.
14 Be not diversely yoked with unbelievers; for what participation [is there] between righteousness and lawlessness? or what fellowship of light with darkness?
Unu ekwela ka unu na ndị na-ekweghị ekwe nwee nkekọta ọbụla. Nʼihi na gịnị ka ezi omume na ajọ omume nwekọrọ? Olee ụdị mmekọ ìhè na ọchịchịrị ga-enwekọ?
15 and what consent of Christ with Beliar, or what part for a believer along with an unbeliever?
Ọ bụ nwekọ dị aṅaa dị na-agbata Kraịst na ekwensu? Gịnịkwa ka onye kwere ekwe na onye na-ekweghị ekwe nwekọrọ?
16 and what agreement of God's temple with idols? for ye are [the] living God's temple; according as God has said, I will dwell among them, and walk among [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people.
Gịnị bụ ihe jikọtara ụlọnsọ Chineke na arụsị? Nʼihi na anyị onwe anyị bụ ụlọnsọ Chineke dị ndụ. Dịka Chineke kwuru, “M ga-ebi nʼime ha. Jegharịakwa nʼime ha. M ga-abụkwa Chineke ha, ma ha onwe ha ga-abụkwa ndị nke m.”
17 Wherefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, saith [the] Lord, and touch not [what is] unclean, and I will receive you;
Ya mere, “Sinụ nʼetiti ha pụta. Nọpụkwanụ iche nʼebe ha nọ. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Unu emetụkwala ihe ọbụla rụrụ arụ aka. Mụ onwe m ga-akpọbatakwa unu.”
18 and I will be to you for a Father, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, saith [the] Lord Almighty.
Ma, “Aga m abụrụ unu Nna, unu onwe unu ga-abụkwara m ụmụ m ndị ikom na ndị inyom. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru.”
