2 Corinthians 6

1 And you also we, as God's fellow workers, entreat not to be found to have received His grace to no purpose.

Kaka Jotich kaachiel gi Nyasaye wakwayou mondo kik ukaw ngʼwono mar Nyasaye ma osemiyou ka gir tugo.

2 For He says, "At a time of welcome I have listened to you, and on a day of salvation I have succoured you." Now is the time of loving welcome! Now is the day of salvation!

Nikech Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ne awinji e ndalona mag kech; chutho ne akonyi e odiechiengʼ mar warruok.” Awachonu ni, ma e sa mar Nyasaye mowinjore, ma e odiechieng warruok.

3 We endeavour to give people no cause for stumbling in anything, lest the work we are doing should fall into discredit.

Ok wadwar ni ngʼato oyud ketho moro amora e tichwa, omiyo watemo mondo kik wachwany ngʼato.

4 On the contrary, as God's servants, we seek their full approval--by unwearied endurance, by afflictions, by distress, by helplessness;

Wan kaka jotich Nyasaye wanyisore e yore mangʼeny kaka: dhil maduongʼ, sandruok, chandruok kod masiche;

5 by floggings, by imprisonments; by facing riots, by toil, by sleepless watching, by hunger and thirst;

e chwat, e twech, e koko, e tich matek ma ok wanindi, gi riyo kech;

6 by purity of life, by knowledge, by patience, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love;

kuom ritruok maler, kuom ngʼeyo, kuom timo kinda, kuom ngʼwono, kuom Roho Maler gihera mar adier;

7 by the proclamation of the truth, by the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness, wielded in both hands;

kuom wacho adiera, kendo kuom teko mar Nyasaye. Watimo gigi duto ka watingʼo gige lweny mag ngima makare e lwetwa korachwich gi koracham;

8 through honour and ignominy, through calumny and praise. We are looked upon as impostors and yet are true men;

ka imiyowa duongʼ kendo ichayowa; iketho nyingwa kendo ipwoyowa, kuom joma odimbore to ikawowa ka joma ketore;

9 as obscure persons, and yet are well known; as on the point of death, and yet, strange to tell, we live; as under God's discipline, and yet we are not deprived of life;

ni joma ongʼere to wachal joma ok ongʼe, kendo wachalo joma chiegni tho, to pod ineno mana ka wangima angima, igoyowa to ok negwa;

10 as sad, but we are always joyful; as poor, but we bestow wealth on many; as having nothing, and yet we securely possess all things.

wakuyo, to wasiko wamor amora, wadhier, to wamiyo ji mathoth bedo jo-mwandu, wanenore ka gima waonge gimoro, to kare wan ema wan gi gik moko duto.

11 O Corinthians, our lips are unsealed to you: our heart is expanded.

Yaye jo-Korintho, wawuoyonu ka wan kodu thuolo kendo ka chunywa oyaworenu malach.

12 There is no narrowness in our love to you: the narrowness is in your own feelings.

Wan ok wapandonu herawa, to un ema upandonwa.

13 And in just requital--I speak as to my children--let your hearts expand also.

Ka anyalo wuoyonu kaka nyithinda, to awachonu ni, un bende yawnwauru chunyu malach!

14 Do not come into close association with unbelievers, like oxen yoked with asses. For what is there in common between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what partnership has light with darkness?

Kik uriwru gi jopiny. Nimar en winjruok mane ma ber gi rach dibedgo e achiel? Koso ere kaka ler gi mudho didag kaachiel?

15 Where can harmony between Christ and Belial be found? Or what participation has a believer with an unbeliever?

Winjruok mane ma Kristo nigo gi Satan (nying machielo mar Satan en Belial)? Ere winjruok manyalo bedo e kind ngʼama oyie gi ngʼama pok oyie?

16 And what compact has the Temple of God with idols? For we are the Temple of the ever-living God; as God has said, "I will dwell among them, and walk about among them; and will be their God, and it is they who shall be My people."

Winjruok mane ma hekalu mar Nyasaye nigo gi nyiseche manono? Nikech wan e hekalu mar Nyasaye mangima! Mana kaka Nyasaye owuon osewacho niya: “Abiro dak eigi kendo abiro wuotho e diergi, kendo abiro bedo Nyasachgi to ginibed joga.”

17 Therefore, "'Come out from among them and separate yourselves,' says the Lord, 'and touch nothing impure; and I will receive you, and will be a Father to you,

Emomiyo, “Auru kuomgi kendo pogreuru kodgi, Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho. Kik umul gima ochido, eka anarwaku.”

18 and you shall be My sons and daughters,' says the Lord the Ruler of all."

Kendo, “Anabed Wuonu, to unubed yawuota gi nyiga, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema owacho.”
