2 Corinthians 13
1 This third time, am I coming unto you: —at the mouth of two witnesses, or three, shall every matter be established.
Omulundi guno gwe nzija gye muli gwe gwokusatu. Buli kigambo kirikakasibwa abajulirwa babiri oba basatu nga boogedde.
2 I have said beforehand, and do say beforehand, —as present the second time, although now absent, unto them who before sinned, and unto all the rest, —that, if I come again, I will not spare.
Nabalabula era mbalabula nga bwe nabalabula bwe nnali eyo omulundi ogwokubiri, era ne kaakano nga ssiriiyo, abo abaayonoona edda n’abalala bonna, nti bwe ndikomawo ssirisaasira,
3 Since, a test, ye are seeking, of the speaking in me of Christ; —who, unto you, is not weak, but is powerful in you, —
nga bwe munoonya okukakasa oba nga njogerera mu Kristo, atali munafu gye muli, wabula ow’amaanyi mu mmwe.
4 For, although he was crucified through weakness, yet is he living through God’s power, —for, although, we, are weak in him, yet shall we live with him, through God’s power [unto us]—
Kubanga newaakubadde nga yakomererwa mu bunafu, kyokka mulamu mu maanyi ga Katonda. Naffe tuli banafu mu mibiri gyaffe nga tuli mu ye, naye tuliba balamu mu ye olw’amaanyi ga Katonda olw’omulimu gwe tukola mu mmwe.
5 Be trying, yourselves, whether ye are in the faith, be putting, yourselves, to the test! Or do ye not recognise yourselves, seeing that, Jesus Christ, is in you, —unless perhaps ye fail in the testing.
Mwekebere mulabe obanga muli mu kukkiriza; oba temumanyi nga Yesu Kristo ali mu mmwe? Mpozi nga temukakasibbwa.
6 I hope, however, that ye shall come to know, that, we, fail not in the testing!
Naye nsuubira nga mumanyi nti tetuli abataakakasibwa.
7 But we pray unto God, that ye may do nothing base, —not that, we, may appear, accepted, but that, ye, the honourable thing, may be doing, even though, we, should be, as it were, rejected;
Kaakano tubasabira eri Katonda obutakola kibi na kimu, si lwa kwagala kulabika nga tusiimibwa, wabula mmwe mukole ebirungi, ffe ne bwe tunaasigala nga tetusiimibbwa.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth;
Kubanga tetuyinza kuwakanya mazima, wabula tugawagira buwagizi.
9 For we rejoice—whensoever, we, are weak, and, ye, are, strong. This, also we pray for—your restoration: —
Ffe kitusanyusa bwe tuba abanafu, mmwe ne muba ab’amaanyi. Tubasabira mmwe okuzzibwa obuggya.
10 For this cause, these things, while absent, am I writing, that I may not, when present, deal sharply—according to the authority which, the Lord, hath given me, for building up and not for pulling down.
Mbawandiikira kubanga siri nammwe, bwe ndijja nneme kubakambuwalira, okusinziira ku buyinza Mukama bwe yampa okubazimba, so si okubazikiriza.
11 Finally, brethren, farewell! Be getting restored, be taking encouragement, be of one mind, live in peace, —and, the God of love and peace, will be with you.
Ebisigadde abooluganda, mujaguze, muzibwemu amaanyi, mulowooze bumu, mubeere n’emirembe, Katonda ow’okwagala n’emirembe anaabeeranga nammwe.
12 Salute ye one another with a holy kiss.
Mulamusagane n’okulamusa okutukuvu.
13 All the saints, salute you.
Abatukuvu bonna babalamusizza.
14 The favour of our Lord Jesus [Christ], and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
Ekisa kya Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, n’okwagala kwa Katonda, n’okussekimu okwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu, bibeerenga nammwe mwenna.
