< 2 Corinthians 7 >
1 Having then these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Bhai, ashaambwiga ajangunji, ibhaga tupegwilwe jene miadi joweji, twiitakaye na yowe inyatiya shiilu na mbumu, tubhe na ukonjelo na tutame kwa kwaishimiya a Nnungu.
2 Receive us into your hearts; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have defrauded no one.
Tunakunnjuganga ntuposhelanje mmitima jenunji! Tukanabhe kunnebhela mundu jojowe, wala tukanabhe kumpokonyola mundu wala kumpuganya mundu jojowe.
3 I am not saying this to condemn you; for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die with you and to live with you.
Ngaabheleketa gegano nkupinga ninng'ukumulanje mmanganya. Malinga shinjite bheleketa, mmanganya munninginji mmitima jetu, nkali kwa wa eu kwa lama pamo na mmanganya.
4 Great is my confidence toward you, great is my glorying on your account; I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our trouble.
Ngunakunkulupalilanga mmanganya, nshilaje shetu nnandaganga ntima na nnang'angalayaga kwa kaje.
5 For indeed when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
Nkali tukaisheje ku Makedonia twangapumulila. Ikabhe twashinkulaga mmbali yowe, palanga mipwai na mmitima lipamba.
6 But God, that comforteth those who are brought low, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
Ikabheje a Nnungu, bhakwaataganga ntima bhawilenje ntima, bhashinkututaga ntima kwa kwiya kwabho a Tito.
7 and not by his coming only, but by the comfort with which he was comforted in regard to you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal in my behalf; so that I rejoiced the more.
Nngabha kwa ika kwabhope a Tito, ikabheje shinshite kwaataganga ntima. Bhatubhalanjile shinkuti lokolilanga kumona, na shinshite injikanga na shinkutumbililanga kunyanguta. Lyenelyo linandenda ng'angalale kaje.
8 For though I caused you sorrow with the letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it; for I perceive that that letter caused you sorrow, though it was but for a short time.
Bhai, ibhaga mwainjikenje ga bhaluwa jangu, ngakwigamba. Nkali nneyo naigambile kashoko pabha namumanyi kuti mwashinkuinjikanga kashoko ga bhaluwa jila.
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorrowful, but that your sorrow produced repentance. For the sorrow which ye felt had respect to God, that ye might in nothing receive injury from me.
Ikabheje nnaino ngunakwinonyela, nngabha pabha nshiinjikanga, ikabhe mwashinkuinjikanga mpaka nikwiipeta. Pabha mwashinkuinjikanga malinga shibhapinjile a Nnungu na kwa lyene ligongolyo twangampotekanga kwa shoshowe.
10 For sorrow before God worketh repentance to salvation never to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Pabha kuinjika kubhaapinga a Nnungu kunakuntendebhuya mundu ntima nikumpa ntapulo, kwa nneyo lyakwa ligongo lya kwiigamba. Ikabheje kuinjika malinga kwa bhandunji bha pa shilambolyo, kunabhulaga.
11 For behold this very thing, that your sorrow had respect to God; what earnestness it wrought in you; yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what longing desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what readiness to punish! In every thing ye showed yourselves to be pure in the matter.
Nnolanje shikoposhele nkuinjika kwenunji malinga shibhapinjile a Nnungu, nshibhanganga bhandu bha tumbila, na kulanguya kuti mwangalebhanga, na bha kunda. Nnaimukanga, na kupotekwa mitima, na nnalokolilanga kumona, na nnapingana, na nnapinganga kuukumula kwa aki. Kwa gene gowego nnangwiyenje kuti shakwa shinnebhilenje.
12 Although, then, I wrote to you, it was not on account of him that did the wrong, nor of him who suffered wrong; but that your earnestness for us might be made manifest to you in the sight of God.
Bhai, ibhaga najandishe, nngabha kwa ligongo lika jwene alebhilejo eu alebhelwejo. Ikabhe nashinkutumbilila jandika imanyishe kwa a Nnungu shinkuti kwiishoyanga kwa ligongo lyetu uwe.
13 Therefore we have been comforted; but in our comfort we rejoiced still more on account of the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all;
Kwa gene gowega tushitagwa ntima. Kupunda kutagwa ntima kwetu, twashinkuangalala kwa ligongo lya angalala kwa a Tito kwa shimwashite kwaangalayanga ntima mmowenji.
14 for if in anything I have boasted to him of you, I am not put to shame; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, so also our boasting, which we made before Titus, was found to be truth;
Nne njikunnumbililanga kubhenebho, kwa lyenelyo mwangandokomayanga. Tushikunnugulilanga kweli mobha gowe na kwene kunnumbililanga kwa ligongo lya a Tito ishibha ya kweli jika.
15 and his affection is more abundant toward you, while he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
Kumpinganga kwabho kunapunda pubhakumbushila kukunda kwenunji mmowe shimwashite kwaaposhelanga kwa ishima ja kaje.
16 I rejoice that in every thing I have confidence in you.
Ngunakwinonyela pabha inatendeka kunkulupalilanga mmanganya kwa indu yowe.
