< 2 Corinthians 6 >

1 And we helping do exhort you, that you receive not the grace of God in vain.
Imi hape, kusebezisana hamwina, tumikumbila kusatambula ikanya ye Ireeza isena musebezi. sina aba wambi, Munako iswanela, Nibatekikwako.
2 For he saith: In an accepted time have I heard thee; and in the day of salvation have I helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Imi mwizuba lye mpuluso ni bakutusi. “lole hanu chinako iswanela.” Lole hanu izuba lyempuluso.
3 Giving no offence to any man, that our ministry be not blamed:
kanzitubiki zisitataliso habusu bwazumwi mukuti kazilete musebezi we Ireeza kushinyeha.
4 But in all things let us exhibit ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulation, in necessities, in distresses,
Mukuti, tuli kolwisisa tubonse cha misebezi yetu. Mukuti tubahika be Ireeza.
5 In stripes, in prisons, in seditions, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,
Tubahikana bakwe mukutundamena, mukuzwafiswa, mumanyando, mukudamwa, mukusuminwa, mukulwiswa, mumasukuluka, mukulala chilabila,
6 In chastity, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in sweetness, in the Holy Ghost, in charity unfeigned,
munzala, mukujolola, munzibo, munkulo-nde, mukushiyama, muchisemo, muluhuho lujolola, nimwilato lishiyeme.
7 In the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armour of justice on the right hand and on the left;
Tubahikana bakwe ni mwinzwi lyeniti, nimuziho ze Ireeza. imi twina insilelezo inakwiyanza lijolola linakubulyo niku lyachimonso.
8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet known;
Tusebeza mwikute, ni mukusakutekeha, ni mukuwambwa bubi, ni mukububekwa. Tunyanswa mukuti tuwamba mapa imi nituwamba ze niti.
9 As dying, and behold we live; as chastised, and not killed;
Tusebeza sina katwizibitwe imi kanti twizibenkene. tusebeza sina bayakukufwa, mi mulole tusihala, Tusebeza sina bahindikitwe munkezozetu kono katunyansilizwe mukufwa. tusebeza sina basukulukite kanti inakoyonse tusangite.
10 As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as needy, yet enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
Tusebeza sina bashebete, kono kanti tubika bangi kuba bafumite. Tusebeza ni tusawani chimwi kanti katuwane, zintuzonse.
11 Our mouth is open to you, O ye Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.
Kanti, tuwamba kwenu zonse chabuniti. Makorinte, imi nkulo zetu ziyaluki.
12 You are not straitened in us, but in your own bowels you are straitened.
Inkulo zenu kazisinene chetu, kono zisinene cha maikuto enu.
13 But having the same recompense, (I speak as to my children, ) be you also enlarged.
Hanu, mushelene ni wamba sina yowamba kumuhwile mwiyalule ahulu inkulo zenu.
14 Bear not the yoke with unbelievers. For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness?
Kanji, musuminwa hamwina nibasa zumini. Linu chinzi balukite abakopana niba tenda zive? Imi kanti chizwale nzii china mwiseli ne fifi? Kuzuminzana kwinabule kwena Jesu ni batenda zibe?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever?
Kapa chinzi chali kauhanyeza mulumeli niyotenda zive?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God; as God saith: I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Imi intumelelano nzi, ina mukati ke tempele ye Ireeza ni ziswaniso? Sina hatuli twi tempele ihala ye Ireeza, sine Ireeza habawambi: “Kanizake mukatikabo imi niyende mukati kabo. Munibe Ireeze wabo, imi mubabe bantu bangu.”
17 Wherefore, Go out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing:
Lyahanu, “Muzwe mukati kabo imi mulikauhanye,” mwatela Ireeza. Kanzi muwondi zintu zisa jolwele, imi muni mitambule.
18 And I will receive you; and I will be a Father to you; and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Munibe Ishenu inwe mubebana bangu, imi kamube banabangu baba swisu niba kazana, “Kuwamba Ireeza wina kwilu.
