2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, and Timothy the brother, —unto the assembly of God which is in Corinth, together with all the saints who 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 Favour unto you, and peace, from God [our] Father, and 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 compassions, and God of all encouragement,
Ngaavongwe Mwari, uye vari Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, Baba vetsitsi uye Mwari wenyaradzo yese,
4 Who encourageth us in all our tribulation, to the end we may be able to encourage them who are in any tribulation—through means of the encouragement wherewith we, ourselves, are encouraged by God.
anotinyaradza padambudziko redu rese, kuti tigone kunyaradza avo vari mudambudziko ripi neripi, nenyaradzo yatinonyaradzwa nayo isu tomene naMwari.
5 Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ overflow unto us, so, through the Christ, overfloweth, our encouragement also.
Nokuti matambudziko aKristu sezvaakawedzerwa matiri, saizvozvowo nyaradzo yedu yakawedzerwa nemuna Kristu.
6 But, whether we are in tribulation, it is for your encouragement and salvation; whether we are encouraged, it is for your encouragement, which worketh inwardly by the endurance 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 so, our hope, is sure in your behalf, —knowing that, —as ye are sharers of the sufferings, so, also of the encouragement.
uye tariro yedu maererano nemwi yakasimba, tichiziva kuti sezvamuri vagovani vematambudziko, saizvozvowo venyaradzo.
8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened in Asia, —that, exceedingly, beyond power, were we weighed down, so 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 But, we ourselves, within ourselves, have had the sentence of death, that we might not rest our confidence upon ourselves, but upon God, who raiseth the dead,
Asi isu pachedu takange tine mutongo werufu matiri, kuti tirege kuzvivimba isu asi kuna Mwari anomutsa vakafa;
10 Who, out of so great a death, rescued us, and will rescue, —unto whom we have turned our hope, [that], even yet, he will rescue:
wakatinunura parufu rukuru rwakadai, uye anonunura; watinovimba maari kuti achatinunurazve;
11 Ye also labouring together on our behalf, by your supplication, that, unto many persons, being due the gift of favour, unto us, through means of many, might thanks be given in our behalf.
nemwi muchishandira isu pamwe nemukumbiro, kuti nekuda kwechipo pamusoro pedu kubudikidza nevanhu vazhinji tivongerwe nevazhinji.
12 For, our boasting, is, this, —the witness of our conscience, that, in sanctity and sincerity of God, [and] not in fleshly wisdom, but in God’s favour, have we behaved ourselves in the world, —and more abundantly towards you.
Nokuti kuzvikudza kwedu ndikoku, kupupura kwehana yedu, kuti muumwe neuzvokwadi hwaMwari, kwete neuchenjeri hwenyama, asi nenyasha dzaMwari, takazvibata panyika, zvikuru maererano nemwi.
13 For, no other things, are we writing unto you, than what ye are either reading or even acknowledging, —I hope, moreover, that, throughout, ye will acknowledge,
Nokuti hatinyori zvimwe zvinhu kwamuri, asi izvo zvamunoverenga nezvamunogamuchira; uye ndinovimba kuti muchazvigamuchirawo kusvika pakuguma;
14 According as ye have also acknowledged us, in part, —that, your theme of boasting, we are, even indeed as, ye, also [shall be], 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 purposed, before, to come unto you, —in order that, a second joy, ye might have, —
Zvino nechivimbo ichi ndaishuva pakutanga kuuya kwamuri, kuti muve nenyasha dzechipiri;
16 And, by your means, to pass into Macedonia, and, again, from Macedonia, to come unto you, and, by you, be set forward unto Judea: —
nekupfuura nekwamuri ndichienda kuMakedhonia, nekudzoka kwamuri ndichibva Makedhonia, uye ndiperekedzwe nemwi kuJudhiya.
17 This, then, being my purpose, perhaps, after all, with lightness, I dealt [with the matter]? or, the things that I purpose, according to the flesh, I purpose, —that, with me, 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 Faithful, however, is God, in that, our discourse, which was [delivered] unto you, is not Yea and Nay;
Asi Mwari wakatendeka, kuti shoko redu kwamuri harina kuva hongu nakwete.
19 For, the Son of God, Christ Jesus—who, among you, through us, was proclaimed, —through me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, became not Yea and Nay, —but Yea, in him, hath it become;
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, [be] the Amen, unto God, for glory, through us.
Nokuti zvese zvivimbiso zvaMwari, maari ndihongu, nemaari ndiAmeni, rwuve rukudzo rwaMwari kubudikidza nesu.
21 Now, he that confirmeth us, together with you, for Christ, and hath anointed us, is God:
Zvino anosimbisa isu pamwe nemwi muna Kristu, neakatizodza ndiMwari,
22 Who also hath sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
wakatiisawo mucherechedzo isu, akapa rubatso rweMweya mumoyo yedu.
23 But, I, call upon God, as a witness, against my own soul, —that, to spare you, not yet, have I 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 your faith, ye stand.
Kwete kuti tinotonga parutendo rwenyu, asi tiri vabati pamwe chete vemufaro wenyu; nokuti mumire nerutendo.
