< 2 Corinthians 13 >
1 This is the third time I am coming to you. "At the mouth of two or three witnesses will every word be established."
Au uli ulendo wangu waatatu uchiiche kukwenu. Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu igakuti kusala, “Magambo gose chigakaluche kwa kang'wa sya ŵandu ŵaŵili pane kupunda”
2 I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;
Natandite kunjamuka panaiche kukwenu pa ulendo wangu waaŵili, ni sambano ngunjamuka sooni pandi kwakutalichila, yakuti pachinjiika ngaangola chanasa kwa aŵala wose ŵalongolele kutenda sambi ni akwendelechela kutenda sambi, ni ŵane wose.
3 seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me; who toward you is not weak, but is powerful in you.
Chimuumanyilile usyene wose, kuti Kilisito akuŵecheta ni ŵanyamwe kwalitala lya kang'wa jangu. Kukwenu Kilisito nganaŵa ŵakulepetala paakulichenjeusya ni indu yenu, nambo akugalosya machili gao pasikati jenu.
4 For indeed he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.
Atamuno ŵaliji ŵakulepetela paŵaŵambikwe pansalaba, nambo sambano akutama kwa machili ga Akunnungu. Iyoyopeyo noweji tuli ŵakulepetala kwakulumbikana nawo, nambo patukulilagasya kwa ligongo lyenu chitutame nawo kwa machili ga Akunnungu.
5 Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or do you not know as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
Nlipime mwachinsyene, nnyimanyilile kanga nlimbilichile mu chikulupi. Ana, ngankwimanyilila kuti Che Yesu Kilisito akutama munkati mwenu? Naga ngakutama nkati mwenu, nlepele.
6 But I hope that you will know that we are not disqualified.
Nambo ngwete chilolelo chakuti ŵanyamwe nkuimanyilila kuti uweji nganitulepela.
7 Now we pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we are as reprobate.
Noweji tukwapopelela Akunnungu, nkantenda chachili chose changalumbana, ni uwe ngatukusaka tulolechele ni ŵandu kuti ŵakombole. Nambo, nkombole kuipanganya yaili yambone, namose yalolechelaga mpela ŵalepele.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
Pakuŵa ngatukukombola kupanganya chachili chose chachikukanilana ni usyene. Nambo kuujimilila usyenepe.
9 For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. And this we also pray for, even your perfecting.
Tukusengwa patukuŵa ŵakulepetala, ŵanyamwe nli ŵakulimbangana. Kwayele tukwapopela Akunnungu kuti mmeje ŵamalile.
10 For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.
Kwaligongo lyo, ngulemba aga ndili ndalichile ni ŵanyamwe, melepe kuti katema kachiiche kweleko, ngasima jwachikali malinga ni ukombole wambele Ambuje wa kunlimbisya ŵanyamwe ngaŵa kunlepetesya.
11 Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Pambesi achalongo achinjangu nguti nne mwanja. Mmeje ŵamalilwe, mpembesyaneje jwine ni jwine, mmeje ni nningwa umo, ntame mu chitendewele. Nombe Akunnungu ŵa unonyelo ni chitendewele chachiŵa ni ŵanyamwe.
12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.
Nkomasyane kwakulosyana unonyelo wa Kilisito.
13 All the saints greet you.
Ntuuka wa Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito, ni unonyelo wa Akunnungu ni ukamulangano wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu utame ni ŵanyamwe wose.
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
Ntuuka wa Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito ni unonyelo wa Akunnungu ni ukamulangano wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu utame ni ŵanyamwe wose.
