< 2 Corinthians 13 >
1 This intended visit of mine is my third visit to you. "On the evidence of two or three witnesses every charge shall be sustained."
Nke a ga-eme ya ugboro atọ m na-abịa ileta unu. Ọ bụ site nʼama mmadụ abụọ maọbụ atọ gbara ka a ga-eme ka okwu niile guzoro.
2 Those who cling to their old sins, and indeed all of you, I have forewarned and still forewarn (as I did on my second visit when present, so I do now, though absent) that, when I come again, I shall not spare you;
Mgbe m bịara leta unu nke ugboro abụọ, abaara m ndị niile dara iwu nʼoge gara aga na mmadụ ndị ọzọ mba, dọọkwa ha aka na ntị, ihu na ihu. Ugbu a m na-anọghị ya, ana m adọkwa ha aka na ntị ọzọ, ọ bụrụ na m bịa ọzọ hụ na ndị mehiere na mbụ echegharịghị, aga m emesi ha ike.
3 since you want a practical proof of the fact that Christ speaks by my lips--He who is not feeble towards you, but powerful among you.
Ebe unu chọrọ ka e gosi na Kraịst na-ekwu okwu nʼime m, ọ dịghị egosi adịghị ike mgbe ọ na-emeso unu omume, kama ọ na-eme ka ike ya pụta ìhè nʼebe unu nọ.
4 For though it is true that He was crucified through weakness, yet He now lives through the power of God. We also are weak, sharing His weakness, but with Him we shall be full of life to deal with you through the power of God.
Ọ bụ ezie na a kpọgidere ya na-adịghị ike, ma ugbu a, ọ na-adị ndụ site nʼike dị ukwuu nke Chineke. Anyị bụkwa ndị na-adịghị ike nʼime ya, ma ozi anyị na-ejere unu na mmekọrịta anyị na unu, anyị ga-eso ya dị ndụ site nʼike nke Chineke.
5 Test yourselves to discover whether you are true believers: put your own selves under examination. Or do you not know that Jesus Christ is within you, unless you are insincere?
Ya mere, ka onye ọbụla nʼime unu nyochaa onwe ya, tulekwa omume ya, mara ma ọ ka kwudosiri ike nʼokwukwe ya. Ọ bụ na unu aghọtaghị na Jisọs Kraịst nọ nʼime unu? Ma ọ bụghị na unu enyochaala onwe unu hụ na unu emeghị nke ọma.
6 But I trust that you will recognize that we are not insincere.
Enwere m olileanya na unu niile ga-achọpụta na anyị adaghị ule ahụ.
7 And our prayer to God is that you may do nothing wrong; not in order that our sincerity may be demonstrated, but that you may do what is right, even though our sincerity may seem to be doubtful.
Ma anyị na-arịọ Chineke ka unu ghara ime ihe ọjọọ ọbụla. Anyị anaghị eme nke a iji gosi na anyị kwesiri ekwesi, kama ka unu nwee ike mee ihe dị mma, nʼagbanyeghị na ọ ga-adị ka a ga-asị na anyị emeghị nke ọma nʼọrụ anyị.
8 For we have no power against the truth, but only for the furtherance of the truth;
Nʼihi na anyị apụghị ime ihe ọbụla megide eziokwu, kama anyị na-eme ihe niile nʼihi eziokwu.
9 and it is a joy to us when we are powerless, but you are strong. This we also pray for--the perfecting of your characters.
Anyị na-aṅụrị ọṅụ mgbe anyị na-adịghị ike ma hụ na unu dị ike. Ihe anyị na-arịọ Chineke bụ ka unu tozuo oke.
10 For this reason I write thus while absent, that when present I may not have to act severely in the exercise of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for pulling down.
Ana m edere unu akwụkwọ a ugbu a, nʼihi na-achọghị m ịbara unu mba na inye unu ntaramahụhụ mgbe m bịara. Achọkwaghị m iji ikike ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere m nye unu ntaramahụhụ, kama achọrọ m iji ya wulie unu elu dịka ụlọ.
11 Finally, brethren, be joyful, secure perfection of character, take courage, be of one mind, live in peace. And then God who gives love and peace will be with you.
Nʼikpeazụ ụmụnna m, na-aṅụrịnụ ọṅụ. Gbalịanụ nʼimezi ndụ unu ka o zuo oke, na-agbarịta onwe ume, werenụ otu obi na-eme ihe, na-ebikwanụ nʼudo. Chineke nke udo na ịhụnanya ga-anọnyekwara unu.
12 Salute one another with a holy kiss.
Werenụ isurita ọnụ dị nsọ kelerịta onwe unu.
13 All God's people here send greetings to you.
Ndị nsọ niile na-ekelekwa unu.
14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
Ka amara Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst na ịhụnanya Chineke, na mmekọ nke Mmụọ Nsọ dịnyere unu niile.
