2 Corinthians 2
1 So I made up my mind that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
Ekpebiri m nʼime obi m na-agaghị m abịakwute unu ọzọ, iwetara unu ihe mwute.
2 For if I make you sorrowful, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have made sorrowful?
Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na m eme ka obi jọọ unu njọ, onye kwanụ ga-akasị m obi ma ọ bụghị unu, unu onwe unu ndị m mere ka obi jọọ njọ?
3 That is why I wrote to you as I did, so that when I came I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice. I had confidence about you all that my joy would be yours.
E deere unu akwụkwọ a dịka m kwesiri ime ka m ghara inwe mwute mgbe m bịara, site nʼaka ndị kwesiri ime ka obi dị m mma, nʼihi na o doro m anya na ọṅụ m ga-abụ ọṅụ nke unu niile.
4 For I wrote to you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you sorrow, but to let you know the abundant love I have for you.
Eji m anya mmiri dị ukwuu na oke obi mgbu na obi mgbawa deere unu akwụkwọ, ọ bụghị ka m kpasuo unu iwe kama ka unu nwee ike ịmata oke ịhụnanya m nwere nʼebe unu nọ.
5 Now if anyone has caused sorrow, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure (not to put it too severely) to all of you.
Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla mere ihe butere obi mgbu, ka a hapụ ikwu ya karịa ka o kwesiri, ọ bụghị naanị m ka o wetaara obi mgbu, o wetakwaara unu niile obi mgbu.
6 This punishment by the majority is enough for that person.
Nʼihi na ntaramahụhụ unu niile kpebiri nye ya ezuola.
7 So you should forgive and comfort him instead, so that he will not be overwhelmed with excessive sorrow.
Ugbu a, bikonu ụmụnna m, o kwesiri ka unu gbaghara ya, ma kasịe ya obi, ka ọ hapụ inwe obi ilu maọbụ daa mba na mmụọ ya, rubiga ụjụ oke.
8 Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.
Ya mere ana m arịọ unu, bikonu, gosinụ ya na unu hụrụ ya nnọọ nʼanya.
9 I wrote to you because I wanted to test your character and see if you would be obedient in everything.
Ihe mere m ji dee ihe m dere nʼakwụkwọ nke mbụ bụ ka m chọpụta ma unu jikekwara mgbe niile irube isi nʼihe niile.
10 Now if you forgive anyone of anything, I also forgive him. For if I have forgiven anyone of anything, I have done it for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
Ọ bụrụ na unu agbaghara onye ahụ mụ onwe m kwa agbagharala ya. Mgbaghara m, a sịkwa na o nwere ihe m na-agbaghara, ana m eme ya nʼihi unu nʼihu Kraịst.
11 so that we might not be exploited by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his schemes.
Anyị na-eme nke a ka Ekwensu ghara ịghọgbu anyị. Anyị maara ihe niile ọ na-ezube.
12 Now when I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, a door was opened for me in the Lord.
Mgbe m bịarutere Troas ikwusa oziọma Kraịst, e megheere m ụzọ nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
13 But I had no rest in my spirit because I did not find my brother Titus. So I took leave of the people there and went on to Macedonia.
Ma enweghị m izuike nʼime obi m, nʼihi na ahụghị m Taịtọs ezi nwanna m nʼebe ahụ. Nke a mere m jiri kelee ha hapụ ha gawa Masidonia.
14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Christ everywhere.
Ma ekele dịrị Chineke, onye na-edugharị anyị na-enye anyị mmeri, nʼihi njikọ e jikọtara anyị na Kraịst, onye na-eji anyị arụ ọrụ, ime ka onye ọbụla nụrụ isisi ụtọ nke oziọma ya.
15 For we are a sweet fragrance of Christ ascending to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;
Nʼihi na anyị bụ mmanụ isi ụtọ nke Kraịst nye Chineke, nʼetiti ndị ọ na-azọpụta na nʼetiti ndị na-ala nʼiyi.
16 to the latter we are a smell of death leading to death, but to the former we are a fragrance of life leading to life. And who is equal to such a task?
Nʼetiti ndị ahụ na-ala nʼiyi, isisi ụtọ a bụ ihe na-ewetara ha ọnwụ, ma nʼetiti ndị ahụ a na-azọpụta, ọ bụ isisi ụtọ a na-ewetara ha ndụ. Onye zuru ime ihe ndị a?
17 For we are not like others who peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak with sincerity in the presence of God, as men sent from God.
Nʼihi na anyị adịghị ka ọtụtụ mmadụ ndị na-eji okwu Chineke azụ ahịa. Kama, nʼime Kraịst anyị na-ekwu okwu anyị site nʼobi dị ọcha, dịka ndị ahụ Chineke zipụrụ ịrụ ọrụ a.
