2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the Assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the holy ones who are in all Achaia:

Paulusi, muapositola wa Jesu Kreste che ntato ye Ireeza, mi Timoteya mukwetu, ku nkereke ye Ireeza ina mwa Korinte, ni kuva zumina vonse vena muchilalo cha Akaiya.

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

Chisemo chive kwenu ni nkozo kuzwila kwe Ireeza ishetu ni Simwine wetu Jesu Kreste.

3 Blessed [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all comfort,

Ireeza ni Ishetu, cha Jesu Kreste Mfumwetu a tembwe. Nji yena Isii wa chisemo ni Ireeza wavo vonse va ombaombwa.

4 who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;

Ireeza u tuombaomba muma sukuluka etu onse, ili kuti naswe tuombaombe bena mu masukuluko. Tu ombaomba vamwi sina Ireeza mwa va tuomba-ombeli.

5 because, as the sufferings of the Christ abound to us, so through the Christ our comfort also abounds;

Sina masukuluko a Kreste ava letwa chetu, linu niku ombaombwa kwetu kutu leta hamwina cha Kreste.

6 and whether we be in tribulation, [it is] for your comfort and salvation, that is worked in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort and salvation;

Kono ni hatu sukulwa, nji mukuti muwane ku ombaombwa ni impuluso. Imi hatu omaombwa, ku ombaombwa kwenu. Ku ombaombiwa kwenu kuseveza sinte chimuli kauhanyeze masukuluko chenkulo inde sina iswe mutuva sukulukili.

7 and our hope [is] steadfast for you, knowing that even as you are partakers of the sufferings—so also of the comfort.

Imi insepo yetu kwenu inkando, twizi sina nanwe hamuli kauhanyeza masukuluko, nanwe mulikauhanyeze ku ombaombwa.

8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above [our] power, so that we even despaired of life;

Linu katusaki kuti kanzi mwi zivi vakwangu, cha masukuluka atuva wani mwa Asiya. Tuva pwacolwa chakuhitiliza ahulu kuhita mutu va kuwolela kuchihindila, mane kana tuva kusepa kuti tusi wola kuhala hape.

9 but we ourselves have had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead,

Chavu sakusima, tuvena inkatulo yefu hetu. Kono, ivali kutu pangila kuti kanzi tulisepi iwe tuvene, kono tusepe Ireeza, yo vuusa vafwile.

10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and delivers, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

Njiyena yavatu lamuleli kwi nkozi ivilala, imi, katulamulele hape, Tuva tuli insepo yetu kwali, kuti tulukule kwi nkozi hape.

11 you also working together for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many, may be thankfully acknowledged for us.

Katende ichi sina inwe hamu tu tusa cha mirapelo yenu. Linu, vungi kavahe vwitumelo cha chisemo chituhelwe 'kwetu che ntapelo zava vangi.

12 For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

Tuli kumusa chechi; vupaki cha lizwalo lyetu. Mukuti mihupulo milotu ni kusepahala kuzwililila kwe Ireeza sina mutu batendeli iswe munkanda. Tuva tendi bulyo cha vungi nanwe- isiñi cha vutali vwe nkanda, kono cha chisemo che Ireeza.

13 for no other things do we write to you, but what you either read or also acknowledge, and I hope that you will also acknowledge to the end,

Katu miñoleli zintu zi musa oli kuvala kapa kuzuwisisa. Ni sepa ka mutu zuwisise chakwizula,

14 according as you also acknowledged us in part, that we are your glory, even as also you [are] ours, in the Day of the Lord Jesus;

sina hamu va tuzuwi kanini hanu. Linu mwizuva lya Mfumwetu Jesu katuve twi vaka lyenu lya kuli temba, sina mwete mu vile vetu.

15 and in this confidence I was intending to come to you before, that you might have a second favor,

Mukuti nivena insepo kwa mana nezi, Niva kusaka kukeza kwenu intanzi, linu kuti mutambule mipuzo cha mipotelo yo vele.

16 and to pass to Macedonia through you, and to come to you again from Macedonia, and to be sent forward by you to Judea.

Ni vaku lela ku mipotela chini kaya kwa Masedoniya. Linu hape ni vaku zeza kumi potela chini kazwa kwa Masedoniya, ni kuti inwe ze munitumine munzila yangu kuya kwa Judeya.

17 This, therefore, intending, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, [did] I counsel according to the flesh, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?

Linu hani vali kuhupula buti, niva kuhakanyeha? Kana nilela zintu mukulukela cha buntu, linu niti “Eni, eni.” mi “Awa, awa” chenako iswana?

18 And God [is] faithful, that our word to you did not become Yes and No,

Kono sina Ireeza yo sepahala katuti vulyo zonse “Eni” ni “Awa.”

19 for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, having been preached through us among you—through me and Silvanus and Timotheus—did not become Yes and No, but in Him it has become Yes;

Mukuti mwana e Ireeza, Jesu Kreste, ka Silvanasi, Timoteya, ni va kutazi mukati kenu, kena “Eni” kapa “Awa.” kuhita kuti nji “Eni” chenako yonse.

20 for as many as [are] promises of God, in Him [are] the Yes, and in Him the Amen, for glory to God through us;

Mukuti insepiso zonse ze Ireeza nji “Eni” chakwe. Linu, chakwe iye mwine tuti “Amen” kwi kanya ye Ireeza.

21 and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and anointed us, [is] God,

Hahanu, nji Ireeza yo tunyakisisa nanwe Kreste, imi ava tu tumi.

22 who also sealed us, and gave the deposit of the Spirit in our hearts.

Ava tuviki luswayo mi chatuha luhuho mwi nkulo zetu kuti ive chisupo cha chete natuhe.

23 And I call on God for a witness on my soul, that sparing you, I did not come to Corinth yet;

Kuhita kuti, ni sumpa Ireeza kuti ave mpaki yangu mwi vaka anisena nivezi kwa korinte ivavi kuti nimi sileleze.

24 not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by faith you stand.

Izi kena kuti tusaka kuyendisa entumelo yenu mwi swanela kuvila. Kuhita kuti, tukwete kuseveza nanwe kuti muve nentavo, sina hamu zimene muntumelo yenu.
