2 Corinthians 2
1 But, so far as I am concerned, I have resolved not to have a painful visit the next time I come to see you.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩgũtua ndaatuire itua atĩ ndikũmũceerera rĩngĩ ndĩmũiguithie kĩeha.
2 For if I of all men give you pain, who then is there to gladden my heart, but the very persons to whom I give pain?
Tondũ-rĩ, ingĩkĩmũiguithia kĩeha-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩgĩtigara wa kũngenia, o tiga inyuĩ arĩa njiguithĩtie kĩeha?
3 And I write this to you in order that when I come I may not receive pain from those who ought to give me joy, confident as I am as to all of you that my joy is the joy of you all.
Ndamwandĩkĩire ũguo nĩgeetha rĩrĩa ngooka ndikanaiguithio kĩeha nĩ acio njagĩrĩirwo nĩgũkenio nĩo. Nĩ ndaarĩ na ũũmĩrĩru harĩ inyuĩ inyuothe atĩ nĩmũngĩagwatanĩire na niĩ gĩkeno-inĩ gĩakwa, nakĩo gĩtuĩke kĩanyu.
4 For with many tears I write to you, and in deep suffering and depression of spirit, not in order to grieve you, but in the hope of showing you how brimful my heart is with love for you.
Nĩgũkorwo ndamwandĩkĩire ndĩ mũthĩĩnĩku mũno, na ndĩ na ruo rwa ngoro na maithori maingĩ, ti atĩ nĩguo ndĩmũiguithie kĩeha, no nĩguo ndĩmũmenyithie wendo ũrĩa ndĩmwendete naguo.
5 Now if any one has caused sorrow, it has been caused not so much to me, as in some degree--for I have no wish to exaggerate--to all of you.
Angĩkorwo nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũiguithĩtie amwe anyu kĩeha-rĩ, ti niĩ aiguithĩtie, no nĩ inyuothe aiguithĩtie kĩeha. Ndiroiga ũguo ngĩhatĩrĩria ũrĩa wĩkĩte ũguo.
6 In the case of such a person the punishment which was inflicted by the majority of you is enough.
Iherithia rĩrĩa aherithĩtio nĩ andũ arĩa aingĩ anyu, nĩrĩmũiganĩte.
7 So that you may now take the opposite course, and forgive him rather and comfort him, for fear he should perhaps be driven to despair by his excess of grief.
Rĩu inyuĩ-rĩ, nĩmwagĩrĩirwo nĩkũmũrekera na kũmũũmĩrĩria, nĩguo ndakae gũtoorio nĩ kĩeha gĩkĩrĩte.
8 I beg you therefore fully to reinstate him in your love.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ndamũthaitha mũmuonie atĩ no mũmwendete.
9 For in writing to you I have also this object in view--to discover by experience whether you are prepared to be obedient in every respect.
Gĩtũmi kĩrĩa gĩatũmire ndĩmwandĩkĩre marũa macio nĩndĩmũgerie, na menye kana no mwĩtiirie magerio na mwathĩkage maũndũ-inĩ mothe.
10 When you forgive a man an offence I also forgive it; for in fact what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has always been for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
Mũndũ ũrĩa mũngĩrekera, o na niĩ nĩndamũrekera. Naguo ũndũ ũrĩa ndekanĩire-rĩ (hangĩkorwo nĩ haarĩ ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ wa kũrekanĩra), ũndũ ũcio ndaũrekanĩra nĩ ũndũ wanyu ndĩ mbere ya Kristũ,
11 for fear Satan should gain an advantage over us. For we are not ignorant of his devices.
nĩguo Shaitani ndakae gũtũhoota. Nĩgũkorwo tũtirigĩtwo nĩ mawara make.
12 Now when I came into the Troad to spread there the Good News about the Christ, even though in the Lord's providence a door stood open before me,
Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa ndaathiire Teroa kũhunjia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Kristũ, na ngĩkora Mwathani ahingũrĩte mũrango-rĩ,
13 yet, obtaining no relief for my spirit because I did not find our brother Titus, I bade them farewell and went on into Macedonia.
ndiigana kũgĩa na thayũ ngoro-inĩ yakwa, tondũ ndiakorire mũrũ-wa-Ithe witũ Tito kuo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngiugĩra andũ akuo ũhoro, ngĩcooka ngĩthiĩ nginya Makedonia.
14 But to God be the thanks who in Christ ever heads our triumphal procession, and by our hands waves in every place that sweet incense, the knowledge of Him.
No rĩrĩ, Ngai arogoocwo, o we ũrĩa ũtũtongoragia hĩndĩ ciothe na ũhootani thĩinĩ wa Kristũ, nake agatũhũthagĩra ta tũrĩ mũtararĩko mwega wa kũmemerekia ũhoro wa kũmenya Kristũ kũndũ guothe.
15 For we are a fragrance of Christ grateful to God in those whom He is saving and in those who are perishing;
Tondũ ithuĩ tũrĩ mũtararĩko wa Kristũ ũrĩa ũkinyaga harĩ Ngai, kũrĩ arĩa marahonokio o na arĩa maroora.
16 to the last-named an odor of death predictive of death, and to the others an odor of life predictive of life. And for such service as this who is competent?
Kũrĩ arĩa maroora-rĩ, tũrĩ mũnungo mũũru wa gĩkuũ; no kũrĩ arĩa marahonokio-rĩ, tũrĩ mũtararĩko wa muoyo. Nũũ ũngĩhota wĩra ta ũcio?
17 We are; for, unlike most teachers, we are not fraudulent hucksters of God's Message; but with transparent motives, as commissioned by God, in God's presence and in communion with Christ, so we speak.
Ithuĩ tũtiĩkaga ta ũrĩa andũ aingĩ mekaga; tũtionjorithagia kiugo kĩa Ngai nĩguo tuone uumithio. Handũ ha gwĩka ũguo-rĩ, ithuĩ twaragia tũrĩ na wĩhokeku thĩinĩ wa Kristũ mbere ya Ngai, ta andũ matũmĩtwo nĩ Ngai.
