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.
Balingami na ngai, lokola tozali na bilaka ya lolenge oyo, tomipetolaka na nyonso oyo ekomisaka nzoto mpe molimo mbindo, mpo na kotambola na bomoi ya bosantu, kati na kotosa Nzambe.
2 Receive us: we have injured no one, we have ruined no one, we have made gain of no one.
Bopesa biso esika kati na mitema na bino! Tosalaki moto moko te mabe, tobebisaki moto moko te, tokosaki moto moko te mpo na kobotola ye biloko.
3 I do not speak for condemnation, for I have already said that ye are in our hearts, to die together, and live together.
Nalobi bongo te mpo ete bosalaki ngai mabe. Nasilaki koyebisa bino ete bozali na esika ya motuya kati na mitema na biso, ezala mpo na kokufa to mpo na kozala na bomoi elongo na bino.
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.
Nalobaki na tina na bino na bosembo monene, mpe namikumisaka makasi na tina na bino. Kati na pasi na biso nyonso, nalendisamaki makasi, mpe natondi na esengo.
5 For indeed, when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but [we were] afflicted in every way; without combats, within fears.
Pamba te, tango kaka tokomaki na Masedwane, tozwaki ata tango ya kopema te; tokutanaki na pasi ya lolenge nyonso: bitumba na libanda, mpe bobangi kati na mitema na biso.
6 But he who encourages those that are [brought] low, [even] God, encouraged us by the coming of Titus;
Kasi Nzambe oyo abondisaka mitema ya bato oyo batutami alendisaki biso na nzela ya boyei ya 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.
Tolendisamaki na nzela ya boyei ya Tito kaka te, kasi mpe na nzela ya kobondisama oyo ye Tito azwaki epai na bino. Atalisaki biso posa makasi oyo bozali na yango ya komona ngai, kolela na bino, mpe komipesa na bino mpo na ngai. Mpe nyonso wana esalaki ete esengo na ngai ebakisama lisusu makasi.
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.
Yango wana, soki nayokisaki bino mawa na nzela ya mokanda na ngai, ezali kosala ngai pasi te kati na motema na ngai. Solo, esalaki ngai nanu pasi na motema, na kotala ndenge eyokisaki bino mawa mpo na mwa tango moke.
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.
Kasi sik’oyo, nazali kosepela: ezali te mpo boyokaki mawa, kasi mpo ete mawa yango ememaki bino na kobongola mitema. Pamba te mawa na bino ezalaki malamu na miso ya Nzambe; mpe na bongo, tosalaki bino mabe te.
10 For grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death.
Mawa oyo ewutaka na mokano ya Nzambe ememaka moto na kobongola motema, mpe kobongola motema ememaka na lobiko, mpe bayokelaka yango pasi na motema te. Kasi mawa oyo ewutaka na baposa ya mokili ememaka na kufa.
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.
Botala makambo oyo mawa ya malamu na miso ya Nzambe ememaki kati na bino: bolingo, molende mpo na kolimbisana, koboya mabe, kotosa, posa makasi ya komona ngai, komipesa na mosala, molende ya kopamela mabe. Na nyonso, bolakisaki penza ete bosalaki mabe te kati na likambo oyo.
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.
Boye, soki nakomelaki bino, ezalaki te likolo na moto oyo asalaki mabe to likolo na moto oyo basalaki mabe, kasi ezalaki mpo ete bolingo na bino mpo na biso etalisama kati na bino liboso ya Nzambe.
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.
Yango wana, tobondisamaki na nzela ya makambo oyo nyonso. Mpe esengo makasi ebakisamaki na kobondisama na biso na kotala esengo ya Tito, pamba te bino nyonso bokitisaki ye motema.
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;
Namikumisaki epai na ye na tina na bino mpe nakoyokela yango soni te, pamba te ndenge kaka makambo nyonso oyo tolobaki na bino ezali ya solo, ndenge mpe kaka lokumu oyo totombolaki na tina na bino epai ya Tito ezali penza ya solo.
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.
Mpe bolingo na ye mpo na bino nyonso ekomaka lisusu monene tango akanisaka botosi na bino nyonso mpe ndenge boyambaki ye na kobanga mpe na kolenga.
16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident as to you.
Nazali na esengo ya kotiela bino motema na makambo nyonso.
