2 Corinthians 2
1 And I decided this to myself, not to come again to you in sorrow,
Asi ndakazvipira izvi, kusauyazve kwamuri mukusuwa.
2 for if I make you sorry, then who is he who is making me glad, except he who is made sorry by me?
Nokuti kana ini ndichikusuwisai, ndiani zvino anondifadza, kunze kwaiye wakasuruvadzwa neni?
3 And I wrote to you this same thing, that having come, I may not have sorrow from them of whom it was necessary [for] me to have joy, having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all,
Zvino ndakakunyorerai chinhu ichi chakadai kuti ndasvika, ndirege kusuwiswa naivo vanofanira kundifadza, ndine chivimbo mamuri mese, kuti mufaro wangu ndewenyu mese.
4 for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that you might be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.
Nokuti kubva mudambudziko guru nekusuruvara kwemoyo ndakakunyorerai nemisodzi mizhinji, kwete kuti murwadziswe, asi kuti muzive rudo rukurusa rwandinarwo kwamuri.
5 And if anyone has caused sorrow, he has not caused sorrow to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all;
Zvino kana umwe akarwadzisa, haana kurwadzisa ini, asi muchidimbu (kuti ndirege kukutakudzai mutoro) mese.
6 sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that [is] by the greater part,
Kuranga uku kwakakwanira wakadai ndiko kwevazhinji;
7 so that, on the contrary, [it is] rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;
kuti panzvimbo yaizvozvi zviri nani kuti mumukanganwire nekunyaradza, zvimwe wakadaro arege kuodzwa moyo kwazvo nekusuruvara kukuru.
8 for this reason, I call on you to confirm love to him,
Naizvozvo ndinokukumbirisai kuti musimbise rudo kwaari.
9 for this also I wrote, that I might know your proof, whether you are obedient in regard to all things.
Nokuti ndizvo zvandakanyorerawo, kuti ndizive kuedzwa kwenyu, kana muchiteerera pazvinhu zvese.
10 And to whom you forgive anything—I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven [it], because of you—in the person of Christ—[I forgive it, ]
Zvino iye wamunokanganwira chinhu, neni ndinomukanganwira; nokuti kana neni ndichikanganwira chinhu, uyo wandinenge ndakakanganwira, ndinozviita nekuda kwenyu pamberi pechiso chaKristu,
11 that we may not be over-reached by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
kuti tirege kushandiswa naSatani; nokuti hatizi vasingazivi mano ake.
12 And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door having been opened to me in the LORD,
Zvino ndichisvika paTroasi neevhangeri yaKristu, ndazarurirwa mukova muna Ishe,
13 I have not had rest to my spirit, on my not finding my brother Titus, but having taken leave of them, I went forth to Macedonia;
handina kuwana zororo pamweya wangu, pakusawana kwangu Tito hama yangu; asi ndakawonekana navo ndikabva ndikaenda kuMakedhonia.
14 and to God [is] thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is revealing through us in every place;
Zvino ngaavongwe Mwari, anotikundisa nguva dzese muna Kristu, uye anoratidza nesu panzvimbo dzese hwema hweruzivo rwake.
15 we are a refreshing fragrance to God because of Christ, in those being saved, and in those being lost;
Nokuti tiri hwema hunonhuhwira hwaKristu kuna Mwari pane ivo vanoponeswa nepane ivo vanoparara;
16 to one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and who is sufficient for these things?
kune vamwe hwema hwerufu mukufa, nekune vamwe hwema hweupenyu muupenyu. Zvino ndiani angakwanira zvinhu izvi?
17 For we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity—but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we speak.
Nokuti hatifanani nevazhinji vanokanganisa shoko raMwari; asi sevanobva pauchokwadi, asi sezvinobva kuna Mwari pamberi paMwari tinotaura muna Kristu.
