2 Corinthians 6
1 WE then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
Tondũ tũrĩ aruti a wĩra hamwe na Ngai-rĩ, nĩtũkũmũringĩrĩria mũtikae kwamũkĩra wega wa Ngai o ũguo tũhũ.
2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Nĩgũkorwo ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ya gwĩtĩkĩrĩka-rĩ, nĩndagũthikĩrĩirie, naguo mũthenya wa kũhonokanio-rĩ, nĩndagũteithirie.” Atĩrĩrĩ-i, rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo ihinda rĩa gwĩtĩkĩrĩka nĩ Ngai, naguo ũyũ nĩguo mũthenya wa kũhonokanio.
3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
Ithuĩ-rĩ, tũtitũmaga hagĩe na ũndũ ũngĩhĩnga mũndũ nĩguo ũtungata witũ ndũkonerwo mahĩtia.
4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
Aca, ithuĩ tũrĩ ta ndungata cia Ngai nĩtwĩgathagĩrĩria maũndũ-inĩ mothe: nĩ ũndũ wa kũũmĩrĩria maũndũ maingĩ; na gũkirĩrĩria mathĩĩna na moritũ, na mĩtangĩko;
5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
na ũndũ wa kũhũũrwo, na kuohwo njeera, na kũreherwo ngũĩ; na kũruta wĩra mũritũ, na kũũrwo nĩ toro ũtukũ, na ngʼaragu;
6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
ningĩ nĩ ũndũ wa gũtũũra na ũthingu, na ũtaũku, na gũkirĩrĩria, na gũtugana thĩinĩ wa Roho Mũtheru, na kũgĩa na wendani ũtarĩ na ũhinga;
7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
o na kwaria ũhoro wa ma, na gũkorwo tũrĩ na hinya wa Ngai; nĩgũkorwo tũnyiitĩte indo cia mbaara cia ũthingu guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo na kwa ũmotho;
8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
rĩmwe tũheagwo gĩtĩĩo, na rĩrĩa rĩngĩ tũgaconorwo, rĩmwe tũgacuukĩrwo maũndũ mooru na rĩngĩ mega; ningĩ o na tũrĩ andũ a ma, tũgatuuo a maheeni;
9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
rĩmwe tũgatuuo nĩtũũĩkaine, no rĩrĩa rĩngĩ tũgatuuo ta tũtoĩkaine; ningĩ tũkahaana ta tũraakua, no tũrĩ o muoyo; tũhũũragwo, no tũtiũragagwo;
10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
o na tũngĩonwo ta tũrĩ na kĩeha, ithuĩ tũkoragwo tũkenete hĩndĩ ciothe; tuonekaga tũrĩ athĩĩni, no nĩtũtuaga andũ aingĩ itonga; tũtuagwo ta tũtarĩ kĩndũ, no indo ciothe nĩ ciitũ.
11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
Akorinitho aya, tũramwarĩria hatarĩ ũndũ tũkũmũhitha, na tũkamũhingũrĩra ngoro ciitũ biũ.
12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
Ithuĩ nĩtũmuonetie wendo witũ kũna no inyuĩ mũtiratuonia wendo wanyu.
13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children, ) be ye also enlarged.
O ta ũguo tũmwĩkĩte-rĩ, ndĩramwarĩria ta ciana ciakwa, o na inyuĩ hingũrai ngoro cianyu biũ.
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Mũtikae kuohanio na arĩa matetĩkĩtie ta mwĩkĩrĩtwo icooki rĩmwe nao. Tondũ-rĩ, ũthingu na waganu ingĩgwatanĩra atĩa? Kana ũtheri na nduma-rĩ, ingĩgĩa na ngwatanĩro ĩrĩkũ?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
Kristũ na Beliali-rĩ, marĩ na ũiguano ũrĩkũ? Nake mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩtie na ũrĩa ũtetĩkĩtie-rĩ, marĩ na ngwatanĩro ĩrĩkũ?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Hekarũ ya Ngai yakĩhota atĩa kũiguana na mĩhianano? Nĩgũkorwo ithuĩ nĩ ithuĩ hekarũ ya Ngai ũrĩa ũrĩ muoyo. O ta ũrĩa Ngai oigĩte atĩrĩ: “Nĩndĩrĩtũũranagia nao, na njeerage gatagatĩ-inĩ kao, nduĩke Ngai wao, nao matuĩke andũ akwa.”
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, umai kũrĩ o na mwĩyamũranie nao, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani ekuuga. Mũtikahutie kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu, na niĩ nĩngũmwamũkĩra.”
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
“Nĩngũtuĩka Ithe wanyu, na inyuĩ mũtuĩke ariũ akwa na aarĩ akwa, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani-Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.”
