< 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, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:
2 Wega na thayũ kuuma kũrĩ Ngai Ithe witũ o na Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ iroikara na inyuĩ.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and 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 [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the mercies, and 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 is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;
5 Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa kũnyariirwo gwa Kristũ kũingĩhĩte thĩinĩ witũ-rĩ, ũguo noguo kũũmanĩrĩria gwitũ kũingĩhĩte nĩ ũndũ wa Kristũ.
because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;
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 in tribulation, [it is] for your comfort and salvation, that is wrought in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort 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 [is] stedfast for you, knowing that even as ye are partakers of the sufferings — so also of the comfort.
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 do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above [our] power, so 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 ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead,
10 Nĩwe watũhonokirie ũgwati-inĩ ũcio wahaanaga wa gĩkuũ, na nowe ũgaatũhonokia. We nĩwe twĩrĩgĩrĩire atĩ no egũthiĩ na mbere gũtũhonokia,
who out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;
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.
ye working together also for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many may be thankfully acknowledged for us.
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 glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;
13 Nĩgũkorwo tũtiramwandĩkĩra ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ mũtangĩhota gũthoma kana gũtaũkĩrwo nĩguo. Na ngwĩhoka atĩ,
for no other things do we write to you, but what ye either do read or also acknowledge, and I hope that also unto the end ye shall acknowledge,
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.
according as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that your glory we are, even as also ye [are] ours, 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 purposing to come unto you before, that a second favour ye might have,
16 Ndabangĩte ndĩmũceerere ngĩthiĩ Makedonia, na njokere kũu kwanyu ngiuma Makedonia, na inyuĩ nĩguo mũcooke mũndũme Judea.
and through you to pass to Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and by you to be sent forward to Judea.
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”?
This, therefore, counselling, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, according to the flesh do I counsel, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?
18 No ti-itherũ, o ta ũrĩa Ngai arĩ mwĩhokeku-rĩ, ndũmĩrĩri iitũ kũrĩ inyuĩ ti “Ĩĩ” na rĩngĩ “Aca.”
and God [is] faithful, that our word unto you became not Yes and No,
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, among you through us having been preached — through me and Silvanus and Timotheus — did not become Yes and No, but in him it hath become Yes;
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 as many as [are] promises of God, in him [are] the Yes, and in him the Amen, for glory to God through us;
21 Na rĩrĩ, Ngai nĩwe ũtũmaga ithuĩ hamwe na inyuĩ twĩhaande wega thĩinĩ wa Kristũ. Nĩwe watũitĩrĩirie maguta,
and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and did anoint 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 also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Ngai nĩwe mũira wakwa, na nĩoĩ atĩ niĩ ndaagire gũcooka Korinitho nĩ ũndũ wa kũmũcaaĩra.
And I for a witness on God do call upon my soul, that sparing you, I came not yet to 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 that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand.
