< 2 Corinthians 7 >
1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in God's fear.
Nipele, achambusanga ŵangu pakuti tukwete ilanga yose yi menema tuliswejesye iilu ni mbumu ni tuŵeje ŵaswela mbee tuchitamaga nkwalamba Akunnungu.
2 Receive us: we have injured no one, we have ruined no one, we have made gain of no one.
Ntupochele mmitima jenu. Nganitunneŵela jwalijose atamuno kummulasya mundu jwalijose atamuno kunlambusya mundu jwalijose.
3 I do not speak for condemnation, for I have already said that ye are in our hearts, to die together, and live together.
Ngangusala yeleyi kwakunlamulila ŵanyamwe. Mpela inatite pakusala katasi kuti ŵanyamwe nli mmitima jetu, iŵaga mchiwa pane mkulama, tuli pamo.
4 Great [is] my boldness towards you, great my exulting in respect of you; I am filled with encouragement; I overabound in joy under all our affliction.
Uneji ngunkulupilila ŵanyamwe kwannope ni kulifuna kwaligongo lyenu. Nkulaga kwetu une nansyene ndusiswe ntima, ni lukondwa lwangu lwangali chiwani.
5 For indeed, when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but [we were] afflicted in every way; without combats, within fears.
Pakuŵa namose patwaiche ku Makedonia nganitukombola kupumulila mu iilu yetu. Twalasile mosemose, kwa paasa kwaliji kwana umenyani ni muntima mwaliji ni lipamba.
6 But he who encourages those that are [brought] low, [even] God, encouraged us by the coming of Titus;
Nambo Akunnungu ŵakwatulasya mitima ŵakupwa ntima ŵatutulasisye mitima jetu pakwika Che Tito.
7 and not by his coming only, but also through the encouragement with which he was encouraged as to you; relating to us your ardent desire, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I the more rejoiced.
Ni ngaŵa kwa kwika Che Tito pe nambo tupilikene imwatite pakuntulasya ntima. Atusalile inkuti pakulajila kumona ni inkuti pakusupuka kwa aila iyangopochele ni inkuti pakusaka kunjenjela une, chelecho chikusengwasya kwannope une.
8 For if also I grieved you in the letter, I do not regret [it], if even I have regretted it; for I see that that letter, if even [it were] only for a time, grieved you.
Nipele, namose nansupwisye kwa chikalata chila une ngangulilasika. Namuno nalilasiche kwa katema pe, ngangulilasika sooni, pakuŵa naimanyi kuti chikalata changu chansupwisye kwakatema pe.
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye have been grieved, but that ye have been grieved to repentance; for ye have been grieved according to God, that in nothing ye might be injured by us.
Sambano ngusengwa, ngaŵa ligongo mwasupwiche, nambo ligongo kusupuka kwenu kwantesile ngalauche ni kuleka sambi. Pakuŵa mwasupwiswe mpela yakuti pakusaka Akunnungu, kwapele nganitumpanganyichisya chachili chose changalumbana.
10 For grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death.
Pakuŵa kusupuka kwakukuichiswa ni Akunnungu kukwapitikusya ŵandu mitima jao ni kuuleka sambi, ni kupochela ukulupusyo wangali kulilasika, nambo pachilambo kusupuka kwa chiundu kukunnyichisya mundu chiwa.
11 For, behold, this same thing, your being grieved according to God, how much diligence it wrought in you, but [what] excusing [of yourselves], but [what] indignation, but [what] fear, but [what] ardent desire, but [what] zeal, but [what] vengeance: in every way ye have proved yourselves to be pure in the matter.
Sambano nnole yaikopochele nkati mwenu kwaligongo lya kusupuka kwenu mpela Akunnungu yakuti pakusaka. Kuntesile mme ŵakuchalila kwannope kwakulosya kuti nganimpanganye chileŵo chachili chose. Mwapotekwe muntima ni kutojima, nkwete lung'wanu lwa kumona, ni nkunonyelana ni nkunlechela Akunnungu alamule. Kwa yailiyose nlilosisye kuti nganinkola chileŵo mu yele yose.
12 So then, if also I wrote to you, [it was] not for the sake of him that injured, nor for the sake of him that was injured, but for the sake of our diligent zeal for you being manifested to you before God.
Kwapele namose nanlembele, nganinanlembela ligongo lya jwaleŵile atamuno jwaleŵelwe. Nambo nasachile iloleche paujo pa Akunnungu inkuti pakutukamusya uweji.
13 For this reason we have been encouraged. And we the rather rejoiced in our encouragement more abundantly by reason of the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
Kwapele twatusiswe mitima jetu. Ngaŵa kutuswa ntima pe nambo Che Tito ŵatusengwasisye kwannope kwaligongo lyakusangalala kwakwe pakuŵa mwaukonjisye ntima wao.
14 Because if I boasted to him anything about you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken to you all things in truth, so also our boasting to Titus has been [the] truth;
Uneji nalilapile paujo pa Che Tito kwaligongo lyenu ni ŵanyamwe nganimundaga soni. Nambo kila chindu chitunsalile chaliji usyene ni kunlapa ŵanyamwe paujo pa Che Tito chaliji chindu cha usyene.
15 and his affections are more abundantly towards you, calling to mind the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
Unonyelo wakwe kukwenu ukupunda nnope paakukumbuchila ŵanyamwe wose imwatite pakwitichisya ni imwatite pakumpochela kwa ntima ni kwa kunchimbichisya.
16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident as to you.
Ngusangalala pakuŵa ngukombola kunkulupilila ŵanyamwe mu indu yose.
