2 Corinthians 1
1 [I], Paul, who [write this letter to you], became an apostle of Christ Jesus because God chose me for that. [Timothy, our] fellow believer, [is with me. I am sending this letter] to you who are God’s people in the congregations in Corinth [city. I want] the believers who live in [other places] in Achaia [province to also read this letter].
Paulo, mutuung'wa nuang'wa Yesu Kilisto kualowe ang'wi Tunda nu Timoteo muluna witu, kitekeelo lang'wi Tunda nelikole Kukorinto, nukuahueli ehi mu neakoe mumukoa wehi nua Akaya.
2 [We(exc) desire] that you will [experience] God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ [acting] kindly toward you and causing you to have [inner] peace.
Ukende utule ukole kitalanyu nuupolo kupume kung'wi Tunda Tata witu nuMukulu u Yesu Kilisto.
3 [We should] praise God, who is the father of our [(inc)] Lord Jesus Christ. He always pities us and helps us [because he is like] [MET] a father to us [and we are like his children]. He always encourages us [(inc)].
Nuakuligwe Itunda nu Tata nua Mukulu u Yesu Kilisto. Nuanso Tata waikende ni Tunda nua ulowe wehi.
4 He has encouraged us [(exc)] whenever we suffered hardships. As a result, we [(exc)] are able to encourage others whenever they suffer hardships, just as/just like God has encouraged us [(exc)].
Itunda wekuanji usese munzago yitu yehi, nsoko kina kuhume kuafaliji awe neakoli mulwago, kuuafaliji neangize kufalaja yeyoyeyo ni Tunda aukiilie kuufaliji usese.
5 It is true that just like Christ suffered, we [who serve him] also continually suffer [because we belong to him]. But also, because we [belong to] Christ, God greatly strengthens us (just as/just like) [God strengthened him].
Kunso anga uu ulwago lang'wa Kilisto longeeleka kunsokoitu uu uuu nefalaja itu ongeeleke kukiila Kilisto.
6 So, whenever we [(exc)] experience sufferings, we [learn how to encourage] you [when you experience sufferings. As a result, you will become more and more the kind of people God] wants you to be. Whenever [God] strengthens us [(exc) when we are suffering, he] does that in order that you [may see how he makes us strong when we are suffering. Then, as God] encourages [you in that way], you will learn to continue patiently [trusting him] when you suffer as we do.
Kuite ang'wi kuagigwa, kunsoko afalaja anyu nuugunwe wanyu. Ang'wi kufalijiawe hange, kunsoko afalaja anyu. Efalaja anyu ekituma milimo kuulimeeli nemukutula palung'wi mulwago kiugigimeeli anga usese gwa nekuagigwe.
7 As a result, we [(exc)] strongly expect that because you suffer just as/just like we do, [God] will encourage you (just as/just like) [he] encourages us.
Nuugimya witu kung'waanyu ukole. Kulengile kinaanga uu nemupalung'wi nulwago, kuu uuu mipalung'wi nefalaja.
8 [Our] fellow believers, we [(exc)] want you to know [LIT] about the trouble that we suffered in Asia [province]. That trouble was so very great that it was much more than we were able to endure. As a result, we [(exc)] thought that we would certainly die.
Kunsoko shakutakile unye mutule miapungu, aluna, kukiila lwago naekukete uko ku Asia. Aekuonewe kukila nekuhumile kukenka, anga kina kiagila anga uhueli nua kikie hange.
9 Indeed, we felt [like a person feels when he has heard a judge say], “I condemn you to die/be executed [MET].” But [God allowed us to think that we were going to die] so that we would not (rely on/trust in) our own [strength. He wanted us] instead [to rely] only on his [strength, because he] is the one who [has power even to make] those who have died live [again].
Tai, aekukete ulamuli wansha mitaitu. Kuite nianso aeyukutenda usese kulekekuika uhueli pigulya litu usese, kuleke ite kuike uhueli witu kung'wi Tunda, nueiula iashi.
10 And [even though] we [(exc)] were [in terrible danger and were] about to die, God rescued us. And he will continue to rescue us [whenever we are in trouble]. We confidently expect that he will continue to rescue us [time after time].
Aekugunile usese kupuma mungwanso muushi, nukuuguna hange. kuekile ugimya witu kung'wiakwe kina ukuuguna hange.
11 [And we are also relying on] you to help us by praying for us [(exc)]. [If many people pray for us], many people will also thank [God] when [he] kindly answers those many prayers [and delivers us from danger].
Ukutenda uu anga uu unyenye gwa nemukuailya kumalompi anyu. Iteedu akupumya ilumbi kukiila sesa kunsoko akukuilwa nuukende, naekupewe usese kukiila malompi naantu edu.
12 I am happy [to say] that I have behaved toward all people [MTY] in an honest and sincere way. My conscience assures me [that this is true]. Especially, I have behaved toward you [honestly and sincerely because that is what] God wants us to do. As I have done that, [my thoughts] have not been the thoughts that unbelieving people [MTY] [think are] wise. Instead, [I have behaved toward people only as God wants me to, depending on] God to help me in ways that I do not deserve.
kuulingela lele: Uwihengi wisigolitu, kunsoko inge kisigo niza, nuuza wang'wi Tunda kina aekendile usese mihe. Kutendile ile lukulu nunyenye, hange singa kikulyo launkumbigulu kuleka gwa ile inge nuukende wang'wi Tunda.
13 [I say that] because [in all my letters to you] I have always written [LIT] clearly in a way that you can easily and completely understand [when you] read them.
Shakimuandekila kehi neshamuhumile kukisoma ang'wi kukilenga. Nkete ugimya.
14 [Previously some of] you, but not all of you, have completely understood [that I am always honest and sincere with you]. But I confidently expect that [soon] you will all be fully convinced [about that]. Then when the Lord Jesus [MTY] [returns, you will all be able to say that] you are pleased with me, just like I will [be able to say that] I am pleased with you.
Kina makulenga iniino. Hange nkete ugimya kina muluhiku lomukulu u Yesu kuukila nsoko anyu kunsoko alogoha lanyu, anga uu nemukulula kitaitu.
15 It was because I felt sure [that all of you were pleased with me] that I was planning to visit you on my way from [here] to Macedonia [province]. I also planned to visit you again on my way back from there, so that I could [spend time with you] twice, and be able to help you more, and I was hoping that you would [give me things that I needed] [EUP] for my journey to Judea [province].
Kunsoko aenkete uugimya kunsoko aile, aendoilwe kulenga kitalanyu hanze nsoko kina muhume kusingiilya nsailo nakugendeelwe nkue akabiili.
Aekusiga kuagendeela itungo nenongoe ku Makedonia. Hange aentakile kumugendeela imatungo nensukile kumakedonia, nehange unye kuntuma unene imatungo nenomile kuu Uyahudi.
17 So then, even though I [changed my mind later and did not do what] I [first] planned to do, [it was not because I did not have an important reason for changing my plans]. Surely you do not [really think] that I decide what I am going to do like people who do not know God do! [RHQ] I am [not like that]. I am not [a person who] says [to people], “Yes, [certainly I will do that],” and then [for no good reason changes his mind and says], “No, [I will not do it].”
Naekusiga inamna eye, itee aekuailya? Itee? Kupanga imakani kuliganeelya niwilekanuli nuakiuntu, nsoko kina nunge “Eee, eee,” hange Aah, aah” kitungo ling'wi?
18 Just as surely as God always does what he says [he will do, it is true that I have never said], “Yes, [I will do this]” when I [really meant] “No.”
Kuite anga uu Itunda nuili mutai, shakelunga yehi “Eee” ne “Aaa.”
19 [I follow the example of] God’s Son, Jesus Christ. When I, along with Silas and Timothy, taught you [about Christ], we told you that he was not [someone who said that he] would do [something] and [then] did not [do it]. Jesus Christ never [said to anyone], “Yes, [I will do what you desire],” and [then did] not [do it].
Kunsoko ung'wi ilina, u Yesu Kilisto, nae Silvano, Timoteo nunene aekumambilye mitalanyu, agwe, “Eee” ne “Aah” Kuleke ite nuanso matungo ehi inge “Eee”
20 [We(inc) know that is true], because everything that God promised to do [for his people], he has done completely by [sending] Christ [to save us]. That is why we say, “Yes, it is true! [God has done everything that he promised to do]!” And we praise him for that!
Kunsoko ulang'wi wehi nuang'wi Tunda eze “Eee” mung'waakwe Uuu gwa kukiila ng'wenso kuulunga “Huueli” kuukulu wang'wi Tunda.
21 Now it is only God himself who causes us [(exc)], as well as you, to keep on [believing] strongly in Christ. God is the one who chose us [(inc) to belong to him and to have a close relationship] with Christ.
Itungo ile Itunda nuekueka usese palung'wi nunye mung'wa Kilisto, hange aukutumile usese.
22 He also sent his Holy Spirit into our [(inc)] lives to mark us as belonging to himself [MET]. Also, since he has sent his Spirit to live in us [(inc)], [he wants us to know by this that] he guarantees [MET] [to give us every other] ([blessing/good thing]) [that he has promised].
Aeuekile ugomola mitaitu hange aukupee ngwaaung'welu munkolo yitu anga uhkueli aeki nikuupegwa panyambele.
23 So now [I will tell you why I changed my mind and did not visit you as I intended to do]: God himself knows [that what I am telling you is true]. The reason that I did not return to Corinth was so that I might not have to [speak to you severely about the wrong that you had done].
Kuleke ite, kamupepeelya Itunda kunihenga unene kina nsoko naefanyilye ndeke kiza kukorinto inge kinandeke kumulemeelya unyenye.
24 It is not that Silas, Timothy and I want to boss you [and tell you that you must] believe only what we say. [Not at all]! On the contrary, we [(exc)] are working as partners [with you] in order to make you happy. [We do not try to force you to believe everything that we believe, because we are sure that you are continuing to] trust [the Lord Jesus Christ] and that you are remaining firmly committed to him.
Iye singa nsoko akugema kigeelya uuhueli wanyu nuunanee kutula. kuleka ite, kuituma palung'wi nunye kunsoko aulowa wanyu, anga nemimekile muhueli wanyu.
