2 Akorinitho 1
1 Nĩ niĩ Paũlũ, mũtũmwo wa Kristũ Jesũ nĩ ũndũ wa kwenda kwa Ngai, tũrĩ na Timotheo mũrũ wa Ithe witũ, Twatũma marũa maya kũrĩ kanitha wa Ngai ũrĩa ũrĩ Korinitho, o hamwe na andũ othe aamũre arĩa marĩ Akaia guothe:
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
2 Wega na thayũ kuuma kũrĩ Ngai Ithe witũ o na Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ iroikara na inyuĩ.
Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Ngai na Ithe wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ arogoocwo, o we Ithe witũ wa tha, na Ngai mwene ũhoro wothe wa kũũmanĩrĩria,
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4 ũrĩa ũtũũmagĩrĩria mathĩĩna-inĩ maitũ mothe, nĩguo na ithuĩ tũhotage kũhooreragia arĩa marĩ na thĩĩna o wothe na ũndũ wa kũũmĩrĩrio kũrĩa ithuĩ ene tũũmĩrĩirio nakuo nĩ Ngai.
Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5 Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa kũnyariirwo gwa Kristũ kũingĩhĩte thĩinĩ witũ-rĩ, ũguo noguo kũũmanĩrĩria gwitũ kũingĩhĩte nĩ ũndũ wa Kristũ.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ.
6 Tũngĩthĩĩnio-rĩ, tũthĩĩnagio nĩguo mũũmĩrĩrio na mũhonokio; tũngĩũmĩrĩrio-rĩ, tũũmagĩrĩrio nĩguo na inyuĩ mũgĩe na ũũmĩrĩru, ũrĩa ũciaraga gũkirĩrĩria mũkĩnyariirwo na mathĩĩna o ta marĩa tũthĩĩnagio namo.
And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
7 Nakĩo kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩrĩa tũrĩ nakĩo nĩ ũndũ wanyu nĩ kĩrũmu, tondũ nĩtũũĩ atĩ o ta ũrĩa mũgwatanagĩra na ithuĩ maũndũ-inĩ marĩa tũnyariiragwo namo-rĩ, no taguo mũgwatanagĩra na ithuĩ ũhoro-inĩ wa kũũmanĩrĩria o naguo.
And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as all of you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall all of you be also of the consolation.
8 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, tũtikwenda mũkorwo mũtooĩ mathĩĩna marĩa twarĩ namo bũrũri wa Asia. Twarĩ hatĩka-inĩ nene mũno makĩria ma ũrĩa tũngĩahotire gũkirĩrĩria, nginya ha ũhoro witũ wa gũtũũra muoyo tũkĩyũũmĩra tha.
For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
9 Ti-itherũ, ngoro-inĩ ciitũ twaiguaga tũtuĩrĩirwo gũkua. No kwahanĩkire ũguo nĩguo tũtikae kwĩĩhoka ithuĩ ene, no twĩhoke Ngai, ũrĩa ũriũkagia arĩa akuũ.
But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raises the dead:
10 Nĩwe watũhonokirie ũgwati-inĩ ũcio wahaanaga wa gĩkuũ, na nowe ũgaatũhonokia. We nĩwe twĩrĩgĩrĩire atĩ no egũthiĩ na mbere gũtũhonokia,
Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11 inyuĩ na inyuĩ mũgĩtũteithagia na gũtũhoera. Nao andũ aingĩ nĩmarĩcookagia ngaatho nĩ ũndũ witũ, tondũ wa wega ũcio tũtugĩĩtwo naguo arĩ macookio ma mahooya ma andũ aingĩ.
All of you also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
12 Na rĩrĩ, ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo twĩrahagĩra: Thamiri ciitũ nĩcio itũmenyithagia atĩ mĩthiĩre iitũ ĩrĩa tũikaraga nayo gũkũ thĩ, na makĩria ũrĩa tũikaranagia na inyuĩ, nĩ ya ũtheru na ya ũhoro wa ma kuuma kũrĩ Ngai. Tũtiĩkaga ũguo kũringana na ũũgĩ wa thĩ, no nĩ kũringana na wega wa Ngai.
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
13 Nĩgũkorwo tũtiramwandĩkĩra ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ mũtangĩhota gũthoma kana gũtaũkĩrwo nĩguo. Na ngwĩhoka atĩ,
For we write no other things unto you, than what all of you read or acknowledge; and I trust all of you shall acknowledge even to the end;
14 o ta ũrĩa mũtũmenyete hanini, nĩmũrĩtaũkĩrwo biũ atĩ no mũhote kwĩraha nĩ ũndũ witũ, o ta ũrĩa tũkeeraha nĩ ũndũ wanyu mũthenya ũrĩa wa Mwathani Jesũ.
As also all of you have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as all of you also are our's in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 Na tondũ wa ũrĩa ndaarĩ na mwĩhoko wa ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩndabangĩte njũke kwanyu mbere nĩguo mũgunĩke maita meerĩ.
And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that all of you might have a second benefit;
16 Ndabangĩte ndĩmũceerere ngĩthiĩ Makedonia, na njokere kũu kwanyu ngiuma Makedonia, na inyuĩ nĩguo mũcooke mũndũme Judea.
And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.
17 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaabangaga ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, kaĩ ndeekaga ũguo na itherũ? Kana hihi haaragĩria mĩbango yakwa na njĩra ya kĩ-mwĩrĩ nĩguo rĩmwe njugage, “Ĩĩ, ĩĩ,” na rĩrĩa rĩngĩ ngoiga “Aca, aca”?
When I therefore was thus minded, did I use levity? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
18 No ti-itherũ, o ta ũrĩa Ngai arĩ mwĩhokeku-rĩ, ndũmĩrĩri iitũ kũrĩ inyuĩ ti “Ĩĩ” na rĩngĩ “Aca.”
But as God is true, our word (logos) toward you was not yea and nay.
19 Nĩgũkorwo Mũrũ wa Ngai, Jesũ Kristũ, ũrĩa mwahunjĩirio ũhoro wake nĩ niĩ, na Sila, na Timotheo, ũhoro wake ndwarĩ wa kuuga, “Ĩĩ” ũgacooka ũkoiga “Aca,” no thĩinĩ wake gũtũũraga o “Ĩĩ.”
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
20 Nĩgũkorwo ciĩranĩro cia Ngai, o na cingĩhĩte atĩa-rĩ, ciothe nĩ “Ĩĩ” thĩinĩ wa Kristũ. Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio thĩinĩ wake, ithuĩ tũkoigaga “Ameni” nĩgeetha Ngai agoocagwo.
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
21 Na rĩrĩ, Ngai nĩwe ũtũmaga ithuĩ hamwe na inyuĩ twĩhaande wega thĩinĩ wa Kristũ. Nĩwe watũitĩrĩirie maguta,
Now he which establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, is God;
22 na agĩtwĩkĩra rũũri rwa kuonania atĩ tũrĩ ake, na agĩtũhe Roho wake thĩinĩ wa ngoro ciitũ arĩ ta mwĩhoko wa kũrũgamĩrĩra maũndũ marĩa magooka.
Who has also sealed us, and given the earn of the Spirit (pneuma) in our hearts.
23 Ngai nĩwe mũira wakwa, na nĩoĩ atĩ niĩ ndaagire gũcooka Korinitho nĩ ũndũ wa kũmũcaaĩra.
Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
24 Ũguo ti kuuga atĩ nĩtũramwatha ũhoro-inĩ wa wĩtĩkio wanyu, no nĩ atĩ tũrutithanagia wĩra na inyuĩ nĩgeetha mũkenage, tondũ mũtũũrĩte mwĩhaandĩte wega nĩ ũndũ wa wĩtĩkio wanyu.
Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith all of you stand.
