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.
Zvatine zvivimbiso izvi, vadikanwi, ngatizvinatse patsvina yese yenyama neyemweya, tipedzise utsvene mukutya Mwari.
2 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
Gamuchirai isu; hatina kuitira munhu chakaipa, hatina kukanganisira munhu, hatina kubatira munhu.
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.
Handitauriri kupa mhosva; nokuti ndamboreva, kuti muri mumoyo medu, kuti tife nekurarama pamwe.
4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
Ushingi hwenhauro yangu kwamuri hukuru, kuzvirumbidza kwangu kukuru pamusoro penyu; ndakazadzwa nenyaradzo, ndakawanzirwa mufaro padambudziko redu rese.
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.
Nokutiwo tasvika kuMakedhonia, nyama yedu haina kuva nezororo, asi takadzvinyirirwa pazvese; kunze kukakavara, mukati kutya.
6 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
Asi Mwari, anonyaradza vakasuruvadzwa, wakatinyaradza nekusvika kwaTito;
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.
uye kwete pakusvika kwake chete, asi nepakunyaradzwa kwaakanyaradzwa nako pamusoro penyu, achitiudza zvechishuwo chenyu, kuchema kwenyu, kushingaira kwenyu pamusoro pangu, zvekuti ndakanyanya kufara.
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.
Nokuti kunyange ndakakusuruvadzai netsamba, handizvidembi, kunyange ndichizvidemba; nokuti ndinoona kuti tsamba iyoyo yakakusuruvadzai, kunyange kuri kwenguva diki.
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.
Ikozvino ndinofara, kwete kuti makasuruvadzwa, asi kuti makasuruvadzika mukatendeuka; nokuti makasuruvadzwa nenzira yeuMwari, kuti murege kurasikirwa nechinhu nekuda kwedu.
10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
Nokuti kuchema nenzira yeuMwari kunouisa kutendeuka rwuve ruponeso rwausingazvidembi narwo; asi kuchema nenzira yenyika kunouisa rufu.
11 For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
Nokuti tarirai, chinhu ichocho, kuti makasuruvadzwa nenzira yeuMwari, chakauisa mukati menyu shungu dzakadini, inga kuzvidavirira, inga kutsamwa, inga kutya, inga chishuvo chakasimba, inga kushingaira, inga kutsiva. Pazvese makazviratidza kuti makachena pachiitiko ichi.
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.
Naizvozvo kanawo ndakakunyorerai, ndakazviita kwete nekuda kwewakatadza, kana nekuda kwaiye wakatadzirwa, asi kuti kukushingairirai kwedu kuratidzwe kwamuri pamberi paMwari.
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.
Nemhaka iyi takanyaradzwa panyaradzo yenyu; hongu takafara zvikuru kwazvo pamufaro waTito, nokuti mweya wake wakavandudzwa kubva kwamuri mese.
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.
Nokuti kana ndakazvikudza nechinhu kwaari pamusoro penyu, handinyadziswi; asi sezvatakataura zvinhu zvese kwamuri muchokwadi, saizvozvowo kuzvikudza kwedu kuri pamberi paTito kwakava chokwadi.
15 His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
Nehanya dzake dzawedzerwa kwazvo kwamuri, achirangarira kuteerera kwenyu mese, kuti makamugamuchira sei nekutya uye kudedera.
16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
Ndinofara naizvozvo kuti pazvese ndine chivimbo mamuri.
