2 Corinthians 7
1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of 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 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
Kamututambulani ne myoyo yenu yasunguluka. Tuliya kwipishilapo muntu naba umo sobwe, tuliya kunyengelelapo muntu, nambi kumubepa.
3 I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before, that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
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 boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
Amwe mulapanga moyo wakame kukondwa mu makatasho onse ngotulacananga, ame ndapitilishinga kuba wakondwa.
5 For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
Pakwinga mpotwalashika ku Makedoniya twalikuba twalema. Makatasho alikuba mbwee kulikonse, balwani balatupensha kayi twalaba ne buyowa mumyoyo.
6 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, 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 also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced still 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 my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you sorry, though just for a while.
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 I now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly way, that you might suffer loss 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 works repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world works 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 look at this very thing, that you were made sorry in a godly way. What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what vindication. In everything you proved yourselves to be innocent 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 So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
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 have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
Ico ecebo cakendi calatuyuminisha. Nomba nteco ico conka sobwe, twalayuminishiwa kubona Tito ncalikuba wakondwa ne ncomwalamusangalasha.
14 For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
Ndalamulesha kukondwa kwakame ne njamwe muliya kumpa nsoni, tuliya kumubepapo sobwe, nicimo cimo kulumbaisha nkotwalalumbaisha Tito kulalilesheti nikwakubinga.
15 His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you 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 that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.
Ndakondwa kayi ndamushoma ne kucinka manungo muli njamwe.
