2 Corinthians 2
1 For I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
Asi ndakazvipira izvi, kusauyazve kwamuri mukusuwa.
2 For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?
Nokuti kana ini ndichikusuwisai, ndiani zvino anondifadza, kunze kwaiye wakasuruvadzwa neni?
3 And I wrote this very thing, so that, when I came, I would not have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.
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 affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.
Nokuti kubva mudambudziko guru nekusuruvara kwemoyo ndakakunyorerai nemisodzi mizhinji, kwete kuti murwadziswe, asi kuti muzive rudo rukurusa rwandinarwo kwamuri.
5 But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to 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 which was inflicted by the many;
Kuranga uku kwakakwanira wakadai ndiko kwevazhinji;
7 so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
kuti panzvimbo yaizvozvi zviri nani kuti mumukanganwire nekunyaradza, zvimwe wakadaro arege kuodzwa moyo kwazvo nekusuruvara kukuru.
8 Therefore I urge you to confirm your love toward him.
Naizvozvo ndinokukumbirisai kuti musimbise rudo kwaari.
9 For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
Nokuti ndizvo zvandakanyorerawo, kuti ndizive kuedzwa kwenyu, kana muchiteerera pazvinhu zvese.
10 Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Messiah,
Zvino iye wamunokanganwira chinhu, neni ndinomukanganwira; nokuti kana neni ndichikanganwira chinhu, uyo wandinenge ndakakanganwira, ndinozviita nekuda kwenyu pamberi pechiso chaKristu,
11 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
kuti tirege kushandiswa naSatani; nokuti hatizi vasingazivi mano ake.
12 Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Messiah, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
Zvino ndichisvika paTroasi neevhangeri yaKristu, ndazarurirwa mukova muna Ishe,
13 I had no relief for my spirit, because I did not find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.
handina kuwana zororo pamweya wangu, pakusawana kwangu Tito hama yangu; asi ndakawonekana navo ndikabva ndikaenda kuMakedhonia.
14 Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Messiah, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
Zvino ngaavongwe Mwari, anotikundisa nguva dzese muna Kristu, uye anoratidza nesu panzvimbo dzese hwema hweruzivo rwake.
15 For we are a sweet aroma of Messiah to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;
Nokuti tiri hwema hunonhuhwira hwaKristu kuna Mwari pane ivo vanoponeswa nepane ivo vanoparara;
16 to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. 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, like so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Messiah.
Nokuti hatifanani nevazhinji vanokanganisa shoko raMwari; asi sevanobva pauchokwadi, asi sezvinobva kuna Mwari pamberi paMwari tinotaura muna Kristu.
