2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God--and our brother Timothy: To the Church of God in Corinth, with all God's people throughout Greece.
Kalata ilafumunga kuli njame Paulo walasalwa ne Lesa kuba mutumwa wa Klistu Yesu ndi ne mukwetu Timoti, ndalembelenga ku mubungano wa bantu bashoma Lesa bali mu Kolinto ne kubanse bonse bali mucibela ca Akaya.
2 May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Inkumbo ne lumuno lwa Lesa Ishetu ne Mwami Yesu Klistu bibe ne njamwe.
3 Heartfelt thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father who is full of compassion and the God who gives all comfort.
Katumulumbaishani Lesa Baishi Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu Lesa wankumbo, Lesa ukute kutontosha mu nshila iliyonse,
4 He comforts us in our every affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction by means of the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
ukute kututontosha twaba ne mapensho kwambeti ne njafwe tucikonshe kutontosha banetu bali mu mapensho amushobo uliwonse, pakwinga ne njafwe Lesa latutontoshonga.
5 For just as we have more than our share of suffering for the Christ, so also through the Christ we have more than our share of comfort.
Nambi tulakumananga ne mapensho angi pacebo ca Klistu, kayi tulatontoshewanga kupitila muli Klistu.
6 But if, on the one hand, we are enduring affliction, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if, on the other hand, we are receiving comfort, it is for your comfort which is produced within you through your patient fortitude under the same sufferings as those which we also are enduring.
Mapensho ngotulakumananga nawo alamupanga katonto kwambeti mupuluke, na afwe katutontoshewa ne njamwe mwela kutontoshewa kwambeti, mucikonshe kwakoma mapensho awo ne njafwe ngotulakumananga nawo.
7 And our hope for you is stedfast; for we know that as you are partners with us in the sufferings, so you are also partners in the comfort.
Neco kupembelela kwetu nkotukute muli njamwe nkakulatenkananga sobwe, pakwinga tucisheti mulakumananga ne mapensho akoshana ne ngotulakumananga nawo, ne njamwe ni mukacane kutontoshewa,
8 For as for our troubles which came upon us in the province of Asia, we would have you know, brethren, that we were exceedingly weighed down, and felt overwhelmed, so that we renounced all hope even of life.
mobanse bame, tusuni kwambeti mwinshibe lipensho ndyotwalakumana nalyo mu cimpansha ca Asiya lyalikuba linene kayi lyalatulemena cakwinseti twalapwilwa mano.
9 Nay, we had, as we still have, the sentence of death within our own selves, in order that our confidence may repose, not on ourselves, but on God who raised the dead to life.
Cakubinga mu myoyo yetu twalikunyumfweti tulatambulu kendi lombolosho lwakufwa. Ici calenshika kwambeti tuleke kulishoma tobene, nsombi kwambeti tushome Lesa uyo ukute kucikonsha kupundusha bafwa.
10 He it is who rescued us from so imminent a death, and will do so again; and we have a firm hope in Him that He will also rescue us in all the future,
Walatufuna mu mapensho alikuyanda kututwala kulufu, kayi nakatufune, ndashoma kwambeti na tuloshomo nakatufune,
11 while you on your part lend us your aid in entreaty for us, so that from many lips thanksgivings may rise on our behalf for the boon granted to us at the intercession of many.
mbuli ncomukute kutunyamfwa mu mipailo yenu, neco mipailo yabantu bangi pali njafwe nikakumbulwe ne Lesa, kayi Lesa nakatuleleke. Bantu bangi nibakalumbaishe Lesa.
12 For the reason for our boasting is this--the testimony of our own conscience that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, and in reliance not on worldly wisdom but on the gracious help of God, that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and above all in our relations with you.
Lino pali cintu cilatupanga kulilumbanya tobene pakwinga miyeyo yetu ilatupanga bukamboni bwa kwambeti kulikonse nkotwalapita, makamaka pakati penu, tulenshi bintu byalulama, kayi munshila yashomeka kwelana ne luyando lwa Lesa. Nkatwali kutanguninwa ne mano a muntu sobwe, nsombi lwalikuba luse lwa Lesa.
13 For we are writing to you nothing different from what we have written before, or from what indeed you already recognize as truth and will, I trust, recognize as such to the very end;
Makalata ngotulamulembelenga nkashupa kwabelenga ne kwanyumfwishisha, nomba ne kukabeco mulanyumfwishishingowa mbasu imo pa bintu mbyotulamulembelenga,
14 just as some few of you have recognized us as your reason for boasting, even as you will be ours, on the day of Jesus our Lord.
nomba ndashoma kwambeti ku masuba akuntangu nimukanyumfwishishe. Pabusuba mbweshakese Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu, mwense nimukalilumbaishe cebo ca njafwe, ne njafwe tukalilumbaishe cebo ca njamwe.
15 It was because I entertained this confidence that I intended to visit you before going elsewhere--so that you might receive a twofold proof of God's favour--
Cebo cakushoma kulico, ndayeyanga kwambeti ndimufwakashile nanshi, kwambeti mukapewe colwe mankanda abili.
16 and to pass by way of Corinth into Macedonia. Then my plan was to return from Macedonia to you, and be helped forward by you to Judaea.
Ndayeyanga kwisa kumufwakashila ndakayanga ku Makedoniya kwambeti, pakufuma uko mukanyamfweko bintu bilayandikinga mu bulwendo bwakame bwa kuya ku Yudeya.
17 Did I display any vacillation or caprice in this? Or the purposes which I form--do I form them on worldly principles, now crying "Yes, yes," and now "No, no"?
Sena mulayeyengeti mpondalikuyeya sha kumufwakashila ndalikuyeyeti mwana wabula mano? sena ndilyeti muntu walisuna pakwinsa bintu, uyo wela kwambeti “Ee” Kayi eti “sobwe” Pacindi cimocimo?
18 As certainly as God is faithful, our language to you is not now "Yes" and now "No."
Mbuli Lesa ncatabepe bantu, ncendalamulaya nkacalikuba cakusankanya maswi akwambeti “Ee”Nambi “Sobwe.”
19 For Jesus Christ the Son of God--He who was proclaimed among you by us, that is by Silas and Timothy and myself--did not show Himself a waverer between "Yes" and "No." But it was and always is "Yes" with Him.
Pakwinga Klistu Yesu Mwanendi Lesa uyo ngotwalikukambauka ame ndekali Paulo, nambi Sailasi ne Timoti, nkalikuba wakwambeti “Ee” Nambi “Sobwe” Kuli njamwe, nsombi walikuba cindi conse “Ee” Wa Lesa.
20 For all the promises of God, whatever their number, have their confirmation in Him; and for this reason through Him also our "Amen" acknowledges their truth and promotes the glory of God through our faith.
Nambi malayano a Lesa afula aconi mulyendiye onse akute kuba “Ee” Ecebo cakendi ncotukute kwambileti, “Ameni” Pacindi ncotukute kulumbanya Lesa.
21 But He who is making us as well as you stedfast through union with the Anointed One, and has anointed us, is God,
Lesa eukute kulengesha kwambeti afwe ne njamwe tube bayuminina nta muli Klistu, kayi ewalatutuma.
22 and He has also set His seal upon us, and has put His Spirit into our hearts as a pledge and foretaste of future blessing.
Ewalatubika cando cakendi cakushomesha, kayi mumoyo wa muntu umo ne umo walatupa Mushimu Uswepa kubeti cishomesho ca bintu byeti bikese.
23 But as for me, as my soul shall answer for it, I appeal to God as my witness, that it was to spare you pain that I gave up my visit to Corinth.
Nomba Lesa ampe cisubulo na ame nkandambanga cancinencine, capesha kwambeti mbule kwisa ku Kolinto nicakwambeti kantakamukansa kayi.
24 Not that we want to lord it over you in respect of your faith--we do, however, desire to help your joy--for in the matter of your faith you are standing firm.
Nkatulamukakatishinga bintu mbyomwela kushoma sobwe, pakwinga tucishi kwambeti mukute lushomo lwayuma. Neco njafwe basebenshi banenu pacebo ca kukondwa kwenu.
