2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in the whole of Achaia:
Pauro muapositori waJesu Kristu nechido chaMwari, naTimotio hama, kukereke yaMwari iri paKorinde, pamwe nevatsvene vese vari muAkaya yese:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nyasha kwamuri nerugare rwunobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu nekuna Ishe Jesu Kristu.
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
Ngaavongwe Mwari, uye vari Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, Baba vetsitsi uye Mwari wenyaradzo yese,
4 who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
anotinyaradza padambudziko redu rese, kuti tigone kunyaradza avo vari mudambudziko ripi neripi, nenyaradzo yatinonyaradzwa nayo isu tomene naMwari.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ.
Nokuti matambudziko aKristu sezvaakawedzerwa matiri, saizvozvowo nyaradzo yedu yakawedzerwa nemuna Kristu.
6 But whether we be afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we be comforted, it is for your comfort, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer:
Zvino kana tichirwadziwa, ndezvenyaradzo neruponeso rwenyu zvinobatiswa mukutsungirira mumatambudziko mamwewo atakatambudzikawo isu; kana tichinyaradzwa, ndezvenyaradzo neruponeso rwenyu;
7 and our hope for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort.
uye tariro yedu maererano nemwi yakasimba, tichiziva kuti sezvamuri vagovani vematambudziko, saizvozvowo venyaradzo.
8 For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befell [us] in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
Nokuti hatidi kuti musaziva, hama, pamusoro pedambudziko redu rakatiwira paAsia, kuti takaremerwa zvikurusa kukunda simba redu, zvekuti takarasa tariro kunyange yeupenyu.
9 yea, we ourselves have had the answer of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
Asi isu pachedu takange tine mutongo werufu matiri, kuti tirege kuzvivimba isu asi kuna Mwari anomutsa vakafa;
10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver: on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;
wakatinunura parufu rukuru rwakadai, uye anonunura; watinovimba maari kuti achatinunurazve;
11 ye also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.
nemwi muchishandira isu pamwe nemukumbiro, kuti nekuda kwechipo pamusoro pedu kubudikidza nevanhu vazhinji tivongerwe nevazhinji.
12 For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
Nokuti kuzvikudza kwedu ndikoku, kupupura kwehana yedu, kuti muumwe neuzvokwadi hwaMwari, kwete neuchenjeri hwenyama, asi nenyasha dzaMwari, takazvibata panyika, zvikuru maererano nemwi.
13 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or even acknowledge, and I hope ye will acknowledge unto the end:
Nokuti hatinyori zvimwe zvinhu kwamuri, asi izvo zvamunoverenga nezvamunogamuchira; uye ndinovimba kuti muchazvigamuchirawo kusvika pakuguma;
14 as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that we are your glorying, even as ye also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
sezvamakatigamuchirawo muchidimbu, kuti tiri rumbidzo yenyu, semwiwo yedu nezuva raIshe Jesu.
15 And in this confidence I was minded to come before unto you, that ye might have a second benefit;
Zvino nechivimbo ichi ndaishuva pakutanga kuuya kwamuri, kuti muve nenyasha dzechipiri;
16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and of you to be set forward on my journey unto Judaea.
nekupfuura nekwamuri ndichienda kuMakedhonia, nekudzoka kwamuri ndichibva Makedhonia, uye ndiperekedzwe nemwi kuJudhiya.
17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I shew fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay?
Naizvozvo ndichifunga saizvozvi, ndakashandisa kusasimbisa moyo here, kana zvandinozvipira, ndinozvipira zvinoenderana nenyama kuti kwandiri zvive hongu, hongu; uye kwete, kwete here?
18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not yea and nay.
Asi Mwari wakatendeka, kuti shoko redu kwamuri harina kuva hongu nakwete.
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, [even] by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him is yea.
Nokuti Mwanakomana waMwari Jesu Kristu uyo wakaparidzwa nesu pakati penyu, neni naSirivhano naTimotio, wakange asiri hongu nakwete, asi maari maiva hongu.
20 For how many soever be the promises of God, in him is the yea: wherefore also through him is the Amen, unto the glory of God through us.
Nokuti zvese zvivimbiso zvaMwari, maari ndihongu, nemaari ndiAmeni, rwuve rukudzo rwaMwari kubudikidza nesu.
21 Now he that stablisheth us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;
Zvino anosimbisa isu pamwe nemwi muna Kristu, neakatizodza ndiMwari,
22 who also sealed us, and gave [us] the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
wakatiisawo mucherechedzo isu, akapa rubatso rweMweya mumoyo yedu.
23 But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come unto Corinth.
Asi ini ndinodana Mwari kuti ave chapupu pamweya wangu, kuti ndikuregererei handisati ndauya kuKorinde.
24 Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
Kwete kuti tinotonga parutendo rwenyu, asi tiri vabati pamwe chete vemufaro wenyu; nokuti mumire nerutendo.
