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.
Bhapendwa bhangu, kwa ndabha tuye ni ahadi ese, na tujitakisiayi tayhoto kwa kila lijambo lalika tuketa tuyelai tabhachafu mu mibhele yhitu kiroho. Na tuulondai utakatifu kihofu ya k'yara.
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.
Mketai nafasi kwa jia ya yhoto! Tunkosili hee munu yuoayola. Tanzulili lepi munu yuoayola. Tujinufaishi lepi kwa faida ya munu yuoayola.
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!
Nijobha ele so kwa kubhalaumu. Ndabha ni malili Kujobha kujo muyele mu miteema yhitu, kwa tete kufwa pamonga ni kuishi pamonga.
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.
Niyele ni ukifu ubhaa mugati ya yhomo, na nikajifunula ndabha ya yhomo. Nimemili ni fulaha hata pagati pa mateso ghitu ghoa.
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.
Twahidili Makedonia, mibhele ya yhoto yaayele hee yakup'homoseka. Badala yaki, takabhili taabu kwa namna syoa Kutobhibhwa vita upandi wa kwibhala ni hofu upandi wa mugati.
6 Even so, God who encourages the downhearted, encouraged us with Titus' arrival.
Lakini K'yara, yaakabhafaliji yabhakatili tamaa, atufaliji kwa ujio wa 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.
Yayele hee kwa kuhida muene kuwa K'yara atufaliji. Yayele kabhele falaja sela Tito saasipokili kuhomela kwa yhomo. Muene atujobhili ya kuwa upendo ubhaa wamyele nabhu, kuhuzunika kwa yhomo, nakamwayele ni wasi wasi kwajia ya nene. Efu nizidili kuhobhoka nesu.
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.
Hata kujo walaka bhuangu wabhafwanyili kusikitika, nikaujutila liee. Ila nijutila pana ubhona walaka obho ubhafwanyili muyelai ni huzuni muenga. Ila so mwayele ni huzuni kwa mda udebe.
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.
Henu nihobholela, so kwa ndabha mwayele ni shida, ndabha huzuni sinu sabhaletili mu toba. Mwakabhili huzuni ya kiungu, hombi mwa tesibhu sikihasala ndabha ya tete.
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.
Ndabha huzuni ya kiungu yileta toba yayika milisya wokovu wa bila ya kuya ni majuto. Huzuni ya kidunia, hata kabhele, yileta mauti.
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.
Mlangai huzuni eye ya kiungu yakizalishi azma yeleku ibhaa mugati mwinu. Namna yeleku azma kayayele ubhaa mugati mwa yhomo kwa kulasya kujo mwayelepi ni hatia. Kwa namna yeleku uchungu wa yhomo kauyele ubhaa, hofu yhimo, matamanilu ghinu, bidii yhinu, ni shauku yhinu ya kubhona kutya haki kayilondeka kuketibhwa! kup'etela kila lijambo yamsibitishi mwa yhomo kutokuyani hatia.
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.
Kujobhela nabhayandikili muenga, nayandiki lepi kwajia ya mkosaji, wala so kwa munu ya atesibhu ni maovu. Nayandiki ya ndabha uzati wa miteema ya yhomo kwajia ya tete ibhuesya kumanyikana kwa yhomo palongolo pa mihu gha K'yara.
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 ndabha ya ele kujo tifalijika. Kup'etela nyongesya ya falaja ya yhoto tabhene, tihobholela kabhele, kabhele kuzidi ndabha ya Tito, ndabha roho yaki yabhabuludishi ni muenga mwabhoa.
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!
Yakuwa kujo najifunili kwa muene kuhisiana ni muenga nayele hee nisoni. Kinyume kyaki, kutya tukaliayi lilobhi latajobhili kwa yhomo layele la ukueli, majifuno ghitu kup'etela Tito ghasibitishu kujo gha ukueli.
15 Titus cares for you even more as he remembers how you did what he told you, how you welcomed him with great respect.
Upendo bhuake kwajia ya yhomo hata kujo mmbaa zaidi, Katya kaikhomboka utii bhkimo mwabhoa, kutya kamwamkalibisi muene ki hofu ni kutelemeka.
16 I am so happy that I can be completely confident of you.
Nihobholela ndabha ya ukifu ubhaa mugati mwinu.
