2 Corinthians 1
1 PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
Polo, ntoma ya Yesu-Klisto, kolanda mokano ya Nzambe, mpe ndeko Timote; Epai ya Lingomba ya Nzambe, oyo ezali kati na Kolinto; mpe epai ya basantu nyonso oyo bazali kati na Akayi mobimba:
2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino kowuta na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto!
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
Tika ete Nzambe mpe Tata ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, apambolama! Azali Tata oyo ayokelaka bato mawa, mpe Nzambe oyo abondisaka bato kati na makambo nyonso:
4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
abondisaka biso kati na pasi ya lolenge nyonso mpo ete biso mpe tokoka kobondisa bato oyo bazali kati na pasi ya lolenge nyonso, na nzela ya kobondisama oyo biso mpe tozwaka kowuta na Ye Nzambe.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
Pamba te, ndenge kaka tomonaka pasi mingi kati na Klisto, ndenge wana mpe Klisto abondisaka biso makasi.
6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
Boye soki tozali komona pasi, ezali mpo na kobondisama mpe lobiko na bino. Soki mpe biso tobondisami, ezali mpo ete bino mpe bobondisama mpo na koyikela pasi oyo tozali komona elongo na bino mpiko.
7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
Boye, tozali solo na elikya makasi na tina na bino, pamba te toyebi malamu ete ndenge kaka bozali komona pasi elongo na biso, ndenge wana mpe bozali kozwa kobondisama elongo na biso.
8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
Solo, bandeko, na tina na pasi oyo ekweyelaki biso kati na etuka ya Azia, tolingi boyeba malamu ete tonyokwamaki mingi kino ata kolemba nzoto mpe kobungisa elikya ya kokoba kozala na bomoi.
9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
Solo, tomonaki kaka ete basili kokatela biso etumbu ya kufa. Nzokande, ezalaki mpo ete tolongola elikya na bomoto na biso, kasi tozala na elikya nde na Nzambe oyo asekwisaka bakufi.
10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
Ye nde akangolaki biso na makama ya kufa ya lolenge wana, mpe akokangola biso lisusu. Solo, tozali na elikya kati na Ye ete akokangola biso lisusu,
11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
awa bozali kosala elongo na biso na nzela ya mabondeli na bino. Boye, bato ebele bakozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe na tina na biso mpo na likabo ya ngolu oyo azali kopesa biso lokola eyano na mabondeli ya bato ebele.
12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
Tala likambo oyo tokoki komikumisa na yango: mitema na biso ezali kotatola ete, kati na mokili mpe mingi penza na miso na bino, totambolaki na bosantu mpe na bosolo oyo ewutaka na Nzambe. Totambolaki bongo na bwanya ya bomoto te, kasi na ngolu ya Nzambe.
13 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
Solo, tokomelaka bino makambo mosusu te, kaka makambo oyo bozali kotanga to oyo boyebi malamu. Mpe nazali na elikya ete bokososola penza malamu kino na suka,
14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
ndenge kaka bosili kososola yango mwa moke, ete bokoki penza komikumisa na tina na biso, ndenge mpe biso tokomikumisa na tina na bino na mokolo ya Nkolo Yesu.
15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
Na elikya yango, nazalaki na mabongisi ya koya liboso epai na bino mpo ete bokoka kozwa ngolu ya mibale;
16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judæa.
mpe mpo ete, longwa epai na bino, nakende na Masedwane, mpe, sima na ngai kowuta na Masedwane, nazonga lisusu epai na bino mpo ete nazwa lisungi ya kokoba mobembo na ngai kino na Yuda.
17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
Boni, elingi koloba ete namikakolaki tango nasalaki mabongisi yango to mpe elingi koloba ete nasalaka mabongisi na ngai kolanda baposa ya bomoto, mpo ete, na mbala moko, nandima likambo mpe naboya yango lisusu?
18 But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
Kasi lokola ezali solo ete Nzambe azali Moyengebene, maloba oyo toyebisaki bino ezali te « iyo » mpe « te. »
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
Pamba te Yesu-Klisto, Mwana na Nzambe, oyo ngai Silasi mpe Timote toteyaki bino, azalaki te « iyo » mpe « te; » kasi kati na Ye, ezalaki tango nyonso « iyo. »
20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
Pamba te bilaka nyonso ya Nzambe ezalaka « iyo » kati na Klisto; mpe ezali na nzela na Ye Klisto nde tolobaka « amen » mpo na nkembo ya Nzambe.
21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
Nzokande, ezali Nzambe nde alendisaka biso mpe bino kati na Klisto; mpe lokola abulisaki biso na nzela ya epakolami na Ye,
22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
abetaki biso kashe na Ye lokola libula na Ye, mpe atiaki Molimo na Ye kati na mitema na biso lokola ndanga ya biloko oyo akopesa biso.
23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
Nazali kolapa ndayi na Kombo ya Nzambe mpe likolo ya bomoi na ngai ete ezalaki te mpo na kolukela bino mindondo nde nazongaki lisusu te na Kolinto;
24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
ezali mpe te mpo na kokonza kondima na bino, kasi tozali kosala elongo na bino mpo na esengo na bino, pamba te botelemi ngwi kati na kondima.
