< 2 Corinthians 7 >
1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Abaagalwa, nga bwe tulina ebisuubizo ng’ebyo, twetukuze mu buli kintu ekyonoona omubiri n’omwoyo, nga tutuukiriza obutukuvu mu kutya Katonda.
2 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
Mutuggulirewo emitima gyammwe, kubanga tewali n’omu gwe twasobya. Tewali n’omu gwe twakyamya. Tewali n’omu gwe twali tulyazaamaanyizza.
3 I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
Bino sibyogera ng’abasalira omusango, kubanga nabategeeza dda nti, Mulina ekifo mu mitima gyaffe, nga tubeera balamu ffenna era nga tufiira wamu nammwe.
4 Great is my boldness of speech towards you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
Mbeesiga nnyo, era mbeenyumiririzamu nnyo; muŋŋumizza nnyo omwoyo ne mundeetera essanyu lingi wakati mu kubonaabona kwange.
5 For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
Bwe twatuuka mu Makedoniya tetwasobola kuwummulako, nga twetooloddwa ebibonoobono ebya buli ngeri, ebweru nga waliyo entalo ate munda mu ffe nga tutidde.
6 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
Naye Katonda agumya abo ababa batendewereddwa, n’atuzzaamu amaanyi olw’okutuuka kwa Tito.
7 and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
Okujja kwe si kwe kwokka okwatuleetera essanyu, naye n’amawulire agafa gye muli, ge yatuleetera n’engeri ennungi gye mwamwanirizaamu, ne bwe yantegeeza nga bwe mwali mwesunga okujja kwange, n’ennaku gye mwalina bwe mwategeera nga sikyazze, n’obunyiikivu bwammwe, ebyo ne binnyongera essanyu!
8 For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.
Kuba bwe kiba nga ddala ebbaluwa gye nnabawandiikira yabanakuwaza, sikyejjusa; wabula ddala nkyejjusa, kubanga ebbaluwa eyo yabanakuwazaamu ekiseera kitono.
9 I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
Kaakano nnina essanyu, si lwa kubanga yabanakuwaza, naye lwa kubanga mwanakuwalira ekibi ne mwenenya, ne Katonda n’alaba okunakuwala kwammwe muleme okufiirwa ekigambo kyonna ku lwaffe.
10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
Kubanga okunakuwala okw’okwenenya eri Katonda kuleeta obulokozi, era tekuleeta kwejjusa; naye okunakuwala okw’ensi kuleeta kufa.
11 For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defence, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
Kubanga laba okunakuwala okwo Katonda kw’asiima kwabaleetera okwewala bino: okufuba ennyo, n’okwennyonnyolako, n’okusunguwala, n’okutya, n’okwegomba, n’okufuba ennyo okwenenya, n’okuwalana eggwanga. Mwakola kyonna kye musobola okulongoosa ekyasoba.
12 So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
Kale newaakubadde nga nabawandiikira ssawandiika ku lw’oyo eyakola ekibi, newaakubadde oyo gwe bakikola, wabula lwa kunyiikira kwammwe eri Katonda ku lwaffe.
13 Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
Noolwekyo ebyo byatuzzaamu endasi. Bwe twaddamu endasi, tweyongera nnyo okusanyuka olw’essanyu lya Tito, kubanga omwoyo gwe gwawummuzibwa mmwe mwenna.
14 For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
Obanga nnenyumiriza mu kigambo kyonna ku lwammwe, temwanswaza, naye byonna nga bwe twabibategeeza bwe biri eby’amazima, era n’okwenyumiriza kwaffe ku Tito nakwo ne kuba kwa mazima.
15 His affection is more abundantly towards you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
N’okwagala kw’alina kweyongera nnyo gye muli ng’ajjukira okugonda kwammwe mwenna, nga bwe mwamusembeza n’okutya n’okumussaamu ekitiibwa.
16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
Bino byonna bindeetera essanyu lingi, era mbesigira ddala.
