2 Corinthians 13
1 Behold, this is the third time I am coming to you: In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word stand.
Rĩrĩ nĩ riita rĩa gatatũ gũũka kwanyu. Ũhoro o wothe no nginya ũrũgamĩrĩrwo nĩ ũira wa andũ eerĩ kana atatũ.
2 I have told before, and foretell, as present, and now absent, to them that sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare.
Nĩndamũkaanirie hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaarĩ na inyuĩ riita rĩa keerĩ. O na rĩu nĩngũmũkaania o rĩngĩ, o na itarĩ hamwe na inyuĩ: Rĩrĩa ndĩrĩũka rĩngĩ, andũ arĩa matũũrĩte mehagia kuuma tene, kana mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe, ndirĩ ngacaaĩra,
3 Do you seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me, who towards you is not weak, but is mighty in you?
tondũ nĩmũrenda kũmenya kĩhooto kĩa atĩ nĩ Kristũ waragia na kanua gakwa. We ndamwĩkagĩra maũndũ ta atarĩ na hinya, no nĩonanagia atĩ arĩ na hinya gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.
4 For although he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him: but we shall live with him by the power of God towards you.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩ ma nĩambirwo mũtharaba-inĩ atarĩ na hinya, no nĩatũũraga muoyo nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wa Ngai. O ta ũguo-rĩ, o na ithuĩ tũtirĩ hinya tũrĩ thĩinĩ wake, no nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wa Ngai nĩtũtũũraga muoyo thĩinĩ wake nĩguo tũmũtungatage.
5 Try your own selves if you be in the faith; prove ye yourselves. Know you not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless perhaps you be reprobates?
Mwĩgeriei, muone kana inyuĩ ene nĩ mwĩtĩkĩtie ũhoro wa ma; mwĩtuĩriei inyuĩ ene. Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ Kristũ Jesũ arĩ thĩinĩ wanyu, tiga no mũgĩkorirwo mũgwĩte kĩgeranio kĩu?
6 But I trust that you shall know that we are not reprobates.
Na nĩngwĩhoka atĩ nĩmũrĩona atĩ ithuĩ tũtigwĩte kĩgeranio.
7 Now we pray God, that you may do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is good, and that we may be as reprobates.
Na rĩu tũkũhooya Ngai atĩ mũtikae gwĩka ũndũ o na ũmwe mũũru. Ti atĩ nĩguo andũ monage atĩ nĩtwĩtĩkĩrĩtwo nĩwe, na nĩtũtooranĩtie, no nĩgeetha inyuĩ mwĩkage maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire, o na tũngĩoneka ta tũtatooranĩtie.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth; but for the truth.
Nĩgũkorwo tũtingĩhota gwĩka ũndũ ũreganĩte na ũhoro wa ma, tiga o ũrĩa ũrĩ wa ũhoro wa ma wiki.
9 For we rejoice that we are weak, and you are strong. This also we pray for, your perfection.
Tũkoragwo na gĩkeno rĩrĩa rĩothe tũtarĩ na hinya, no inyuĩ mũrĩ na hinya; na nĩtũmũhooyagĩra mũtuĩke andũ aagĩrĩru kũna.
10 Therefore I write these things, being absent, that, being present, I may not deal more severely, according to the power which the Lord hath given me unto edification, and not unto destruction.
Gĩtũmi kĩrĩa kĩratũma nyandĩke maũndũ maya o na itarĩ hamwe na inyuĩ-rĩ, nĩgeetha hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngooka ndikaanahũthĩre ũhoti wakwa ũũru, ũhoti ũrĩa Mwathani aaheire ũrĩ wa kũmũkũria, no ti wa kũmũthũkia.
11 For the rest, brethren, rejoice, be perfect, take exhortation, be of one mind, have peace; and the God of peace and of love shall be with you.
Na rĩu ngĩrĩkia-rĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, tigwoi na wega. Thiiagai na mĩthiĩre ĩrĩa yagĩrĩire, thikagĩrĩriai ithaithana rĩakwa, gĩagai na meciiria o mamwe, na mũtũũranagie na thayũ. Nake Ngai wa wendo na thayũ nĩarĩkoragwo hamwe na inyuĩ.
12 Salute one another with a holy kiss.
O mũndũ nĩageithie ũrĩa ũngĩ na ngeithi theru cia kĩmumunyano.
13 All the saints salute you.
Andũ arĩa othe aamũre nĩmamũgeithia.
14 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the charity of God, and the communication of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.
Wega wa Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ, na wendani wa Ngai, na ngwatanĩro ya Roho Mũtheru, ĩroikaraga na inyuĩ inyuothe.
