< 2 Corinthians 7 >

1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sactification in the fear of God.
Arata akwa endwa, kuona atĩ nĩtwĩrĩirwo maũndũ macio-rĩ, nĩtwĩtheriei, tũtigane na ũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũthũkagia mũndũ mwĩrĩ na roho, na tũhingagie ũhoro wa ũtheru nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra Ngai.
2 Receive us. We have injured no man, we have corrupted no man, we have overreached no man.
Atĩrĩrĩ, tũhei handũ ngoro-inĩ cianyu. Tũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ tũhĩtĩirie, na tũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ tũthũkĩtie, na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ tũhinyĩrĩirie.
3 I speak not this to your condemnation. For we have said before, that you are in our hearts, to die together, and to live together.
Ndiroiga ũguo nĩguo ndĩmũtuĩre; nĩnjugĩte rĩngĩ atĩ mũrĩ na handũ thĩinĩ wa ngoro ciitũ, kuona atĩ tũgũtũũra muoyo kana tũkuanĩre na inyuĩ.
4 Great is my confidence for you, great is my glorying for you. I am filled with comfort: I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulation.
Ndĩ na ũũmĩrĩru mũnene ngĩmwarĩria; nĩndĩĩrahaga mũno nĩ ũndũ wanyu. Mathĩĩna-inĩ maitũ mothe, nĩngoragwo nyũmĩrĩirie mũno, na gĩkeno gĩakwa gĩgakĩrĩrĩria.
5 For also when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we suffered all tribulation; combats without, fears within.
Nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa twakinyire Makedonia, mwĩrĩ ũyũ witũ ndwagĩire na kĩhurũko, no gũthĩĩnio twathĩĩnagio o harĩa hothe twathiiaga; kũu nja kwarĩ na ngũĩ, na ngoro-inĩ ciitũ twarĩ na guoya.
6 But God, who comforteth the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus.
No Ngai ũrĩa ũhooragĩria arĩa makuĩte ngoro, nĩatũhooreririe nĩ ũndũ wa gũũka gwa Tito,
7 And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation, wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.
na to ũndũ wa gũũka gwake gwiki, no ningĩ nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoorerania ũrĩa mwamũheete. Nĩatũheire ũhoro wa ũrĩa mwendaga kũnyona, na kĩeha kĩnene kĩrĩa mũrĩ nakĩo, o na ũrĩa mwĩtangaga mũno nĩ ũndũ wakwa; nĩ ũndũ ũcio gĩkeno gĩakwa gĩkĩongerereka gũkĩra mbere.
8 For although I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent; and if I did repent, seeing that the same epistle (although but for a time) did make you sorrowful;
O na ingĩkorwo nĩndatũmire mũgĩe na kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa marũa makwa-rĩ, ndikwĩrira. O na gũkorwo kũrĩ hĩndĩ nderirire nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nguona atĩ marũa makwa nĩmamũiguithirie kĩeha, no nĩ gwa kahinda o kanini,
9 Now I am glad: not because you were made sorrowful; but because you were made sorrowful unto penance. For you were made sorrowful according to God, that you might suffer damage by us in nothing.
no rĩu ndĩ na gĩkeno, ti tondũ nĩmwaiguithirio kĩeha, no nĩ tondũ kĩeha kĩanyu nĩgĩatũmire mũhere. Nĩgũkorwo mwagĩire na kĩeha o ta ũrĩa Ngai endaga, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio ithuĩ tũtirĩ ũndũ mũũru o na ũmwe twamwĩkire.
10 For the sorrow that is according to God worketh penance, steadfast unto salvation; but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Kĩeha kĩrĩa kiumanĩte kũrĩ Ngai kĩrehaga ũhoro wa kũhera kũrĩa gũtũmaga andũ mahonoke, na gũtirĩ wĩriraga gwĩka ũguo, no kĩeha kĩa maũndũ ma thĩ kĩrehaga gĩkuũ.
11 For behold this selfsame thing, that you were made sorrowful according to God, how great carefulness it worketh in you; yea defence, yea indignation, yea fear, yea desire, yea zeal, yea revenge: in all things you have shewed yourselves to be undefiled in the matter.
Atĩrĩrĩ, ta kĩonei kĩeha kĩu kiumanĩte na Ngai kĩrĩa gĩciarĩte thĩinĩ wanyu: nĩgĩtũmĩte mũgĩe na kĩyo kĩnene, o na wendo mũnene wa gwĩkũũra, na gwakanwo nĩ ngoro, na kĩmako, na kwĩrirĩria kũnene, na kwĩrũmbũiya, o na wetereri wa kuona atĩ kĩhooto nĩkĩahingio. Maũndũ-inĩ mothe-rĩ, nĩmwĩonanĩtie inyuĩ ene atĩ mũtirĩ na ũcuuke ũndũ-inĩ ũyũ.
12 Wherefore although I wrote to you, it was not for his sake that I did the wrong, nor for him that suffered it; but to manifest our carefulness that we have for you
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o na gwatuĩka nĩndamwandĩkĩire marũa-rĩ, ndiamaandĩkire nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ ũrĩa wehĩtie, kana nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa wahĩtĩirio, no nĩgeetha mũhote kũmenya inyuĩ ene mũrĩ mbere ya Ngai ũrĩa mwĩheanĩte nĩ ũndũ witũ.
13 Before God: therefore we were comforted. But in our consolation, we did the more abundantly rejoice for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
Maũndũ maya mothe-rĩ, nĩmo matũmĩte tũũmĩrĩrio. O ũndũ ũmwe na kũũmĩrĩrio gwitũ-rĩ, makĩria nĩtwakenire nĩ ũndũ wa kuona ũrĩa Tito aakenete, tondũ roho wake nĩwekĩrĩtwo hinya nĩ inyuĩ inyuothe.
14 And if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our boasting that was made to Titus is found a truth.
Nĩnderahĩire Tito nĩ ũndũ wanyu, na inyuĩ mũtianjonorire. No o ta ũrĩa maũndũ mothe marĩa twamwĩrire maarĩ ma ma-rĩ, noguo kwĩraha gwitũ nĩ ũndũ wanyu harĩ Tito o nakuo gũtuĩkĩte ũhoro wa ma.
15 And his bowels are more abundantly towards you; remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you have received him.
Naguo wendo ũrĩa amwendete naguo nĩũkĩrĩrĩirie kũneneha aaririkana ũrĩa inyuothe mwaathĩkire, na ũrĩa mwamwamũkĩrire mũrĩ na gwĩtigĩra na kũinaina.
16 I rejoice that in all things I have confidence in you.
Ndĩ na gĩkeno tondũ rĩu ndĩ na mwĩhoko mũkinyanĩru thĩinĩ wanyu.
