2 Corinthians 6
1 As workers together with God we also plead with you not to make your acceptance of God's grace worthless.
Na kulwejo, okukola smiling aamwi, echibhalembelesha emwe mtalamila echigongo cha Nyamuanga.
2 Just as God said, “At the right time I heard you, and on the day of salvation I rescued you.” Believe me: now is the right time! Now is the day of salvation!
Kwo kubha kaika, “Omwanya gunu gwekilisibwe naliga wakisi kwemwe, na kulusiku lwo mwelulo nabhasakiye.” Lola, woli ni mwanya gukilisibwe. Lola, woli no lusiku lwo mwelulo.
3 We don't put anything in anyone's way that would trip them up, making sure the work we do won't be criticized.
Chitakutulayo libhui lwo kwijula imbele yo mumubhili wonawona, kwo kubha chitakola emiimu jeswe jisigwe okugaywa.
4 Instead we try to demonstrate we are good servants of God in every way we can. With a great deal of patience we put up with all kinds of trouble, hardship, and distress.
Nawe mu jona, chilola abhene kwe bhikolwa byeswe bhona, ati chili bhakosi bha Nyamunga. Chili bhakosi bhae mu bwafu okunyasibwa, okukomela mubwikalo,
5 We have been beaten up, thrown into prison, and attacked by mobs. We have been worked to the bone, suffering sleepless nights and hunger.
Okubhumwa, no kubhoywa, mu kukalashanya, okukomela emilimu kwa managa, okubhula jintilo mungeta, no kusalalila,
6 We demonstrate who we are by living blameless lives in the knowledge of God, with a great deal of patience, being kind and filled with the Holy Spirit, showing sincere love.
Mu bwichumichumi, mu bhumenyi, mu kwigumilisha, mu chigongo, mu mwoyo mwelu, mu kwenda.
7 We speak truthfully, living in the power of God. Our weapons consist of what is true and right; we attack with our right hand and we defend with our left.
Chili bhakosi bhae mu musango gwe chimali, mu managa ga Nyamuanga. Chili ne bhigwato ebyo bhulengesi koleleki mu kubhoko kwo bhulyo no kwe bhumosi.
8 We continue whether we are honored or dishonored, whether we are cursed or praised. People call us frauds but we tell the truth.
Echikola emilimu muchibhalo no kugaywa, kulwo kulomwa. Nokukusibha kubha bhabhei kanawe omwanya chili bha chimali.
9 We are disregarded, even though we are well-known; given up for dead, but we're still alive; lashed, but not killed.
Echikola emilimu koleleki chitakumenyeka na kutyo echimenyekana kisi. Echikola emilimu lwa bhachifwa na - Lola! - chili bhanga. Echikola emilimu lwa bhanu abhabhalilwa kwe bhikolwa byeswe nawe tali bhanu abhalamulwa okufwa.
10 Seen as miserable, we are always rejoicing; as poor, but we make many rich; as destitute, but we own everything!
Echikola emilimu lwa bhanu abhasulumbala, nawesiku jona chili na likondelelwa. Echikola emilimu lwa bhataka nawe echibhanibya bhafu. Echikola emilimu lwa bhanu bhatali na chinu ka nawe bhali na byona.
11 I've been speaking bluntly, my Corinthian friends, loving you with a big heart!
Chalomelwe bwe chimali bhona kwimwe, Abhakorintho, ne mitima jeswe igawe kwo bhunene.
12 We haven't kept our love from you, but you have kept your love from us.
Emitima jeswe jitakuganyibwa neswe, nawe omuganyibwa mwime abhene.
13 Please respond in the same way, as if you were my children, and be big-hearted!
Woli okuindulana enaika kwa bhana mwigale emitima jeswe kwo bhunene.
14 Don't join together with people who don't believe—for what connection does goodness have with wickedness? What do light and darkness have in common?
Mutabhoyelwe amwi na bhanyatekilisha. Kwo kubha obhulengesi no bhubhibhi kutiki? Nolwo obwelu ne chisute chisigala kutiki?
15 How could Christ and the Devil ever agree? How could a believer and an unbeliever share together?
Bhulio bhungwaniki Kristo na Beliali? Amwi unu ekilisishe ali no mugabho ki amwi na unu atekilisishe?
16 What compromise could the Temple of God make with idols? For we are a temple of the living God, just as God said: “I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.”
Na bhulio bhungwani ki agati ya iyekalu ya Nyamuanga ne chisusano? Kwo kubha eswe ni yekalu ya Nyamuanga unu ali muanga, lwa kutyo Nyamuanga aikili: ati Niliyanja agati yebwe no kulibhata agati yebwe. Nilibha Nyamuanga webwe, nabho bhalibha bhanu bhani.”
17 “So leave them, and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don't touch anything that is unclean, and I will accept you.”
Kulwejo, “Musoke agati, yebwe mwaukane nabho,” kaika Lata bhugeyi. “Mutakuniako chinu chili chijabhi, na ndibhakalibhisha emwe.
18 “I will be like a Father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”
Nikubha Esomwana kwimwe, nemwe mulibha bhana abhe chilume na bhe chiyala,” kaika Lata bhugenyi.
