2 Akorinitho 6
1 Tondũ tũrĩ aruti a wĩra hamwe na Ngai-rĩ, nĩtũkũmũringĩrĩria mũtikae kwamũkĩra wega wa Ngai o ũguo tũhũ.
Working together now also we exhort not in vain the grace of God to receive you;
2 Nĩgũkorwo ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ya gwĩtĩkĩrĩka-rĩ, nĩndagũthikĩrĩirie, naguo mũthenya wa kũhonokanio-rĩ, nĩndagũteithirie.” Atĩrĩrĩ-i, rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo ihinda rĩa gwĩtĩkĩrĩka nĩ Ngai, naguo ũyũ nĩguo mũthenya wa kũhonokanio.
He says for: In a time acceptable I listened to you and in a day of salvation I helped you; Behold now [is the] time of favor, behold now [is the] day of salvation;
3 Ithuĩ-rĩ, tũtitũmaga hagĩe na ũndũ ũngĩhĩnga mũndũ nĩguo ũtungata witũ ndũkonerwo mahĩtia.
Nothing before no one placing an obstacle, so that not may be blemished the ministry,
4 Aca, ithuĩ tũrĩ ta ndungata cia Ngai nĩtwĩgathagĩrĩria maũndũ-inĩ mothe: nĩ ũndũ wa kũũmĩrĩria maũndũ maingĩ; na gũkirĩrĩria mathĩĩna na moritũ, na mĩtangĩko;
rather in everything we are commending ourselves as God’s servants in endurance great, in tribulations, in hardships, in distresses,
5 na ũndũ wa kũhũũrwo, na kuohwo njeera, na kũreherwo ngũĩ; na kũruta wĩra mũritũ, na kũũrwo nĩ toro ũtukũ, na ngʼaragu;
in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,
6 ningĩ nĩ ũndũ wa gũtũũra na ũthingu, na ũtaũku, na gũkirĩrĩria, na gũtugana thĩinĩ wa Roho Mũtheru, na kũgĩa na wendani ũtarĩ na ũhinga;
in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in [the] Spirit Holy, in love genuine,
7 o na kwaria ũhoro wa ma, na gũkorwo tũrĩ na hinya wa Ngai; nĩgũkorwo tũnyiitĩte indo cia mbaara cia ũthingu guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo na kwa ũmotho;
in [the] word of truth, in [the] power of God, with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for [the] left,
8 rĩmwe tũheagwo gĩtĩĩo, na rĩrĩa rĩngĩ tũgaconorwo, rĩmwe tũgacuukĩrwo maũndũ mooru na rĩngĩ mega; ningĩ o na tũrĩ andũ a ma, tũgatuuo a maheeni;
through glory and dishonor, through bad report and good report, as imposters and yet true,
9 rĩmwe tũgatuuo nĩtũũĩkaine, no rĩrĩa rĩngĩ tũgatuuo ta tũtoĩkaine; ningĩ tũkahaana ta tũraakua, no tũrĩ o muoyo; tũhũũragwo, no tũtiũragagwo;
as being unknown and yet being well-known, as dying and yet behold we live, as being disciplined and yet not being killed,
10 o na tũngĩonwo ta tũrĩ na kĩeha, ithuĩ tũkoragwo tũkenete hĩndĩ ciothe; tuonekaga tũrĩ athĩĩni, no nĩtũtuaga andũ aingĩ itonga; tũtuagwo ta tũtarĩ kĩndũ, no indo ciothe nĩ ciitũ.
as being sorrowful always yet rejoicing, as poor many yet enriching, as nothing having and yet all things possessing.
11 Akorinitho aya, tũramwarĩria hatarĩ ũndũ tũkũmũhitha, na tũkamũhingũrĩra ngoro ciitũ biũ.
The mouth of us has been opened to you, Corinthians, the heart of us has been expanded;
12 Ithuĩ nĩtũmuonetie wendo witũ kũna no inyuĩ mũtiratuonia wendo wanyu.
Not you are restrained by us, you are restrained however in the affections of you;
13 O ta ũguo tũmwĩkĩte-rĩ, ndĩramwarĩria ta ciana ciakwa, o na inyuĩ hingũrai ngoro cianyu biũ.
Now [as] the same recompense, as to children I speak, do open [yourselves] also you.
14 Mũtikae kuohanio na arĩa matetĩkĩtie ta mwĩkĩrĩtwo icooki rĩmwe nao. Tondũ-rĩ, ũthingu na waganu ingĩgwatanĩra atĩa? Kana ũtheri na nduma-rĩ, ingĩgĩa na ngwatanĩro ĩrĩkũ?
Not do become unequally yoked together with unbelievers; what for partnership [have] righteousness and lawlessness? (Or *N(k)O*) what fellowship light with darkness?
15 Kristũ na Beliali-rĩ, marĩ na ũiguano ũrĩkũ? Nake mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩtie na ũrĩa ũtetĩkĩtie-rĩ, marĩ na ngwatanĩro ĩrĩkũ?
What now harmony [has] (Christ *N(k)O*) with Belial? Or what part [has] a believer with an unbeliever?
16 Hekarũ ya Ngai yakĩhota atĩa kũiguana na mĩhianano? Nĩgũkorwo ithuĩ nĩ ithuĩ hekarũ ya Ngai ũrĩa ũrĩ muoyo. O ta ũrĩa Ngai oigĩte atĩrĩ: “Nĩndĩrĩtũũranagia nao, na njeerage gatagatĩ-inĩ kao, nduĩke Ngai wao, nao matuĩke andũ akwa.”
What now agreement [the] temple of God with idols? (We ourselves *N(K)O*) for [the] temple of God (we are *N(K)O*) [the] living, even as has said God that I will dwell in them and will walk among [them], and I will be their God and they themselves will be (to Me *N(k)O*) a people.
17 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, umai kũrĩ o na mwĩyamũranie nao, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani ekuuga. Mũtikahutie kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu, na niĩ nĩngũmwamũkĩra.”
Therefore do come out from [the] midst of them and do be separate, says [the] Lord, and unclean nothing do touch; and I myself and I myself will receive you,
18 “Nĩngũtuĩka Ithe wanyu, na inyuĩ mũtuĩke ariũ akwa na aarĩ akwa, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani-Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.”
and I will be to you for a father and you yourselves will be to Me for sons and daughters, says [the] Lord Almighty.
