2 Corinthians 7
1 Dear friends, since we have these promises, we should wash ourselves clean from all that makes both body and spirit dirty, aiming for complete holiness out of reverence for God.
Abhendwa wani, kwo kubha chili ne milago jinu chiyeshe abhene ku bhuli musango linu elichikola kubha bhajabhi mu mubhili jeswe na mu mwoyo. Na chibhulonde obwelu mu kubhaya Nyamuanga.
2 Please accept us as your friends! We haven't done anyone wrong, we haven't corrupted anyone, and we haven't taken advantage of anyone.
Mukole ombhwanya ingulu yeswe! Chichaliga kumunyamulila munu wona wona. Chitanyamuye munu wona wona. Chitenibhishe kwokwibhikila kumunu wona wona.
3 I'm not saying this to condemn you—as I already told you, you mean so much to us that we live and die together with you!
Enaika linu siyo ati enibhatonga. Kulwokubha naikile ati muli mumiyo jeswe, kweswe eswe okufwa amwi no kulama amwi.
4 I speak up very strongly for you because I am so proud of you. You are such an encouragement to me. I am so happy for you despite all our troubles.
Nino bhubhasi bhwamfu ingulu yemwe, na enikuya ingulu yemwe. Nijuwe okusilika. Nijuwe nalikondelewe nolo agati yo kunyansibhwa kweswe kwone.
5 When we arrived in Macedonia we didn't have a minute's peace. We were attacked from every direction, with external conflicts and inner fears.
Chejile Makedonia, emibhili jeswe jitaumuye. kulwejo, chabwene inyako nibhubhayo obhulemo aanja no lubhala lwa munda.
6 Even so, God who encourages the downhearted, encouraged us with Titus' arrival.
Nawe Nyamuanga unu kabhasisha abhakee, nachisilisha kulwo kuja Tito.
7 Not just by his arrival, but also by the encouragement you gave him. He told us how you were longing to see me, how sorry you were, and how concerned you were about me, which made me even happier.
Nolwo tali kulwo kuja kwae ela ati Nyamuanga achisilisishe. kwaliga kusilisibwa kuliya Tito alamiye okusoka kwimwe. Unu achibwiliye okwenda kunu mulinakwo, okusulumbala kwemwe, na mwaliga muli najiwasiwasi ku lwanye. Kutyo ninongesha okubha nalikondelelwa lyafu.
8 Even though I made you sorry by the letter I wrote, I don't regret it—though I did regret it because the letter did hurt you, but just for a while.
Nolo nakabhee inyalubha yani ibhakolele musulumbale, anye ntakubhwiswalilila. nawe enibhwiswalilila omwanya gunu enilola inyalubha eyo yabhakolele emwe mubha nobhujubhe. nawe mwabhee no bhujubhe mwanya mufuyi.
9 I'm happy now, not for hurting you, but because this pain led you to change your minds. You were made sorry in a way God would want, and so weren't harmed by us in any way.
Woli ninalikondelewe, tali ati mwaliga muli na jinyako, nawe obhujubhe bhwemwe bhwabhayanile okuta. Mwabhwene obhujubhe bhwe chinyamuanga, kulwejo mwanyansibhwe atali kwa bhule ingulu yeswe.
10 The kind of sorrow God wants us to have makes us change our minds and brings salvation. This kind of sorrow leaves no sense of regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
Kulwokubha okujubha kwe chinyamuanga okuleta okuta kunu okukumisha omwelulo kunu kutana kwigalula. Okusulumbala kwe chalo, nolo kutyo, eileta okufwa.
11 See what happened to you when you had this very same experience of sorrow that God wants. Remember how enthusiastic you became, how keen you were to defend yourselves, how angry you were at what had happened, how seriously you took it, how you longed to do right, how concerned you were, how you wanted justice to be done. In all of this you showed that you were sincere in wanting to make things right.
Mulole okujubha kunu okwechinyamuanga yebhusishe ki echinene munda yemwe. nikutiki yabhee nene munda yemwe nibhonekana ati aliga mutana ntambala. Nikwakutiki lisungu lyemwe lyaliga lilinene, okubhaya kwemwe, obhwiganilisha bhwemwe, obhukomee bhwemwe, nobhwiganilisha bhwemwe okulola ati obhulengelesi obhukolwa! Bhuli musango mwiyolesishe emwe abhene kutyo mutana ntambala.
12 So when I wrote to you, I wasn't writing about who did the wrong or who was wronged, but to show you how devoted you are to us in God's sight.
Nalwakutyo nabhandikiye emwe, nitandikile ingulu yo mukayi, nolo unu anyansibhwe ne bhibhibhi. Nandikile koleleki obhusimbagiliye bhwe mioyo jemwe ingulu yeswe ikolwe okumenyekana kwimwe imbele ya meso ga Nyamuanga.
13 We are so encouraged by this. Added to our own encouragement, we were so pleased to see how happy Titus was, because you set his mind at rest.
Ni kulinu ati echisilisibwa. nichiyongesha kwo kusilisibwa kweswe abhene, echikondelelwa ona, kwo kubha okukondelelwa ku Tito, kubha mwoyo gwaye gwakondesibwe nemwe bhona.
14 I boasted to him about you, and you didn't let me down. Just as all I've told you is true, my boasting about you to Titus has proved to be true too!
Kwo kubha nikekuya kumwene nokungwana nemwe, nitabheye na swalo. Alabha bhuli musango gunu chaikile kwemwe gwaliga gwachili, ku Tito gakolekene kubha gachimali.
15 Titus cares for you even more as he remembers how you did what he told you, how you welcomed him with great respect.
No kwenda kwaye kaemwe ni kwafu kukila, alabha echukile okwolobha kwemwe bhona, lwa kutyo mwamukumile omwene kwo kubhaya no kuyalala.
16 I am so happy that I can be completely confident of you.
Enikondelelwa kwo kubha eniikanya munda yemwe.
