< 2 Corinthians 7 >
1 HAVING therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Mobanse bame, pakuba ne malayano awa, katuliswepeshani tobene kushiya bintu byonse bikute kusafwanya mibili ne myoyo yetu, katubani bantu baswepa mu mikalilo yetu kayi tutine Lesa.
2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
Kamututambulani ne myoyo yenu yasunguluka. Tuliya kwipishilapo muntu naba umo sobwe, tuliya kunyengelelapo muntu, nambi kumubepa.
3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.
Nkandambangeti ndimusebanye sobwe, mbuli ncondambapo kendi kwambeti afwe tumusuni cindi conse katuli tobayumi cino cindi nambi tufwa.
4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
Amwe mulapanga moyo wakame kukondwa mu makatasho onse ngotulacananga, ame ndapitilishinga kuba wakondwa.
5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
Pakwinga mpotwalashika ku Makedoniya twalikuba twalema. Makatasho alikuba mbwee kulikonse, balwani balatupensha kayi twalaba ne buyowa mumyoyo.
6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
Nikukabeco, Lesa ukute kuyuminisha bantu bapenga mu myoyo walatuyuminisha pakututumina Tito kuno nkotubele.
7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
Nteko kwisa kwakendi konka kwalatuyuminisha sobwe, nsombi maswi akendi akwamba mbuli ncomwalamuyuminisha. Walatwambila kwambeti mwalikuyanda kumbona, kayi ne kungumana kwenu ne kwambeti mwalikuba mwalibambila kuncingilisha, neco pacino cindi ndakondwa.
8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
Kalata njondalalemba yalamupa kungumana, nomba ame ndiya kunyumfwa nsoni sobwe, ee pakutanguna ndalanyumfwa nsoni, kayi ndabonongeti makani alikuba mu kalata iyo alamungumanika kwa kacindi kang'ana.
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
Nomba lino ndakondwa nsombi nteko kukondwa cebo cakwambeti makani akame alamungumanika, nsombi cebo cakwambeti kungumana kwenu kulalengesheti mushiye bwipishi. Neco Lesa ewalalengesha kungumana uku, neco paliya caipa ncotwalensa kuli njamwe.
10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Pakwinga kungumana kukute kukondwelesha Lesa kukute kushinta buyumi ne kuleta lupulusho. Ee cakubinga nkacela kuleta nsoni, nomba kungumana kwabula kwa bu Lesa kukute kutwala kulufu.
11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
Kamubonani lino Lesa ncalenshi pakungumana kwenu, mulaba bantu balayandishishinga kuba babula mulandu, mwalikuba mwalakalala kayi mwalikuba ne buyowa palico calenshika, mwalikuyanda kumbona kwambeti ndimupe mulandu wamwelela uyo muntu walensa cilubo. Lino mu makani awa onse mulacaniketi muliya mulandu sobwe.
12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
Neco mpondalalemba kalata isa ndiya kwilembela cebo ca uyo muntu walensa cilubo, nambi cebo ca uyo walepishilwa sobwe, nsombi ndalailembela kwambeti ndimuleshe cakutamusoleka pa menso a Lesa, kwambeti kulibenga kwenu nikunene.
13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
Ico ecebo cakendi calatuyuminisha. Nomba nteco ico conka sobwe, twalayuminishiwa kubona Tito ncalikuba wakondwa ne ncomwalamusangalasha.
14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
Ndalamulesha kukondwa kwakame ne njamwe muliya kumpa nsoni, tuliya kumubepapo sobwe, nicimo cimo kulumbaisha nkotwalalumbaisha Tito kulalilesheti nikwakubinga.
15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
Lusuno lwakendi pali njamwe lulenga kukonempa pa kwanuka ncomwalikuba mwalibambila kwinsa byonse mbyali kumwambila, kayi ne ncomwalamutambula mwakulicepesha ne bulemu.
16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
Ndakondwa kayi ndamushoma ne kucinka manungo muli njamwe.
