2 Corinthians 6

1 Working together now also we exhort not in vain the grace of God to receive you;

Savashandi pamwe chete naMwari tinokukurudzirai kuti murege kugamuchira nyasha dzaMwari pasina.

2 He says for: In a time acceptable I listened to you and in a day of salvation I helped you; Behold now [is the] time of favor, behold now [is the] day of salvation;

Nokuti iye anoti, “Ndakakunzwa panguva yenyasha dzangu, uye pazuva roruponeso ndakakubatsira.” Ndinokuudzai, zvino ndiyo nguva yenyasha dzaMwari, zvino ndiyo nguva yoruponeso.

3 Nothing before no one placing an obstacle, so that not may be blemished the ministry,

Hatiisi chigumbuso munzira yomunhu, kuti ushumiri hwedu hurege kuzvidzwa.

4 rather in everything we are commending ourselves as God’s servants in endurance great, in tribulations, in hardships, in distresses,

Asi savaranda vaMwari tinozvirumbidza pane zvakanaka munzira dzose: mukutsungirira kukuru, mumatambudziko, mukuomerwa, uye nemunhamo;

5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,

mukurohwa, kusungwa nomubope; mukushanda zvakaoma, mukusavata nokushayiwa zvokudya;

6 in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in [the] Spirit Holy, in love genuine,

mukuchena, kunzwisisa, mwoyo murefu nengoni muMweya Mutsvene uye nomurudo rwechokwadi;

7 in [the] word of truth, in [the] power of God, with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for [the] left,

mushoko rechokwadi nomusimba raMwari; nenhumbi dzokurwa nadzo dzokururama kuruoko rworudyi nokuruboshwe,

8 through glory and dishonor, through bad report and good report, as imposters and yet true,

mukukudzwa nomukusakudzwa, muguhu rakaipa neguhu rakanaka; tiri vechokwadi, asi tichionekwa savanyengeri;

9 as being unknown and yet being well-known, as dying and yet behold we live, as being disciplined and yet not being killed,

tinozivikanwa tichionekwa setisingazivikanwi; tinofa, asi tichiramba tichirarama, tinorohwa asi hatifi;

10 as being sorrowful always yet rejoicing, as poor many yet enriching, as nothing having and yet all things possessing.

savanochema, asi tichigara tichifara; savarombo, asi tichipfumisa vazhinji; setisina chinhu, asi tinazvo zvose.

11 The mouth of us has been opened to you, Corinthians, the heart of us has been expanded;

Takataura kwamuri pachena, imi vaKorinde, uye takazarura mwoyo yedu kwamuri.

12 Not you are restrained by us, you are restrained however in the affections of you;

Hatisi kukunyimai rudo rwedu, asi imi munotinyima rwenyu.

13 Now [as] the same recompense, as to children I speak, do open [yourselves] also you.

Sokutsinhana kwakanaka, ndinotaura sokuvana vangu, zaruraiwo mwoyo yenyu.

14 Not do become unequally yoked together with unbelievers; what for partnership [have] righteousness and lawlessness? (Or *N(k)O*) what fellowship light with darkness?

Musasungwa zvisina kufanira pajoko rimwe chete navasingatendi. Nokuti kururama kungava noukama hweiko nokusarurama? Kana kuti chiedza chingawadzana seiko nerima?

15 What now harmony [has] (Christ *N(k)O*) with Belial? Or what part [has] a believer with an unbeliever?

Ko, Kristu anganzwanana seiko naBheriari? Ko, mutendi angava nomugove weiko neasingatendi?

16 What now agreement [the] temple of God with idols? (We ourselves *N(K)O*) for [the] temple of God (we are *N(K)O*) [the] living, even as has said God that I will dwell in them and will walk among [them], and I will be their God and they themselves will be (to Me *N(k)O*) a people.

Ko, temberi yaMwari ingatenderana seiko nezvifananidzo? Nokuti tiri temberi yaMwari mupenyu. Sezvakarehwa naMwari, achiti, “Ndichagara pakati pavo ndigofamba navo, uye ndichava Mwari wavo, ivo vagova vanhu vangu.”

17 Therefore do come out from [the] midst of them and do be separate, says [the] Lord, and unclean nothing do touch; and I myself and I myself will receive you,

“‘Saka budai mubve pakati pavo uye muzvitsaure,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe. ‘Musabata chinhu chine tsvina, ini ndigokugamuchirai.’”

18 and I will be to you for a father and you yourselves will be to Me for sons and daughters, says [the] Lord Almighty.

“‘Ndichava baba venyu, uye imi muchava vanakomana vangu navanasikana vangu,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Wamasimba Ose.”
