2 Ndị Kọrint 1
1 Pọl, onyeozi nke Jisọs Kraịst dịka ọchịchọ nke Chineke si dị, na Timoti nwanne anyị nwoke, Na-edegara chọọchị Chineke nke dị na Kọrint, na ndị nsọ niile ndị nọ nʼala Akaịa akwụkwọ:
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in the whole of Achaia:
2 Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Chineke Nna anyị, na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịrị unu.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Otuto dịrị Chineke na Nna nke Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst, bụ Nna nke obi ebere, nakwa Chineke nke nkasiobi niile.
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
4 Onye na-akasị anyị obi nʼime nsogbu anyị niile, ka anyị site nʼụzọ dị otu a nwee ike ịkasị ndị ọzọ niile nọ na nsogbu dị iche iche obi. Inyere ha aka dịka anyị onwe anyị si nata inyeaka site nʼaka Chineke.
who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5 Nʼihi na dịka anyị si eketa oke nʼime ọtụtụ ahụhụ nke Kraịst, otu a nkasiobi anyị na-ababiga ụba site na Kraịst.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ.
6 Ma ọ bụrụ na anyị na-ahụ ahụhụ, ọ bụ nʼihi na nkasiobi unu, nakwa nzọpụta unu. Ọ bụrụkwa na a na-akasị anyị obi, ọ bụkwa nʼihi nkasiobi unu, nke na-arụpụta ike na ume iji ntachiobi die ụdị ahụhụ nke anyị onwe anyị na-edikwa.
But whether we be afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we be comforted, it is for your comfort, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer:
7 Olileanya anyị nwere nʼebe unu nọ sịrị ike, ebe anyị maara na dịka unu si eketa oke nʼịta ahụhụ anyị, otu ahụkwa ka unu ga-esi keta oke na nkasiobi ahụ anyị na-anata.
and our hope for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort.
8 Anyị chọrọ ka unu mara ụmụnna m, ihe banyere nsogbu e sogburu anyị nʼEshịa. Nʼezie, nsogbu ahụ karịrị anyị ike, mee ka anyị hapụ inwekwa olileanya na anyị ga-emesi dịrị ndụ.
For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befell [us] in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
9 Nʼezie, ọ dị nnọọ nʼoge ahụ, dịka a ga-asị na a mara anyị ikpe ọnwụ. Ma anyị maara na o si otu a mee ka anyị nwee ike ịmụta na o kwesighị ka anyị tụkwasị obi nʼike nke aka anyị, kama ka anyị nwee olileanya nʼime Chineke, onye pụrụ ime ka ndị nwụrụ anwụ si nʼọnwụ bilie.
yea, we ourselves have had the answer of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
10 Ọ bụ Chineke bụ onye zọpụtara anyị site nʼime oke ọnwụ dị otu a. Anyị nwekwara ntụkwasị obi na ọ ga-aga nʼihu na-azọpụtakwa anyị,
who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver: on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;
11 dịka unu ga-enyekwara anyị aka site nʼekpere unu, ka ọtụtụ nwere ike nye ekele nʼihi anyị maka onyinye amara anyị natara na nzaghachi ekpere ọtụtụ mmadụ ndị a na-ekpere anyị.
ye also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.
12 Ịnya isi anyị bụ nke a, na akọnuche anyị na-agbara anyị akaebe na anyị kpara agwa ọma nʼụwa, karịchasịa nʼebe unu nọ, nʼịdị nsọ na izi ezi nke si nʼaka Chineke. Nke a bụ site nʼamara o nyere anyị, ọ bụghị site nʼamamihe nke mmadụ.
For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
13 Nʼihi na ihe anyị na-edere unu abụghị ihe unu na agaghị agụta maọbụ ghọta. Enwere m nchekwube na unu ga-aghọta ya nke ọma.
For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or even acknowledge, and I hope ye will acknowledge unto the end:
14 Dịka unu ghọtarala anyị nwa nke nta ugbu a, unu ga-eji anyị anya isi nʼụbọchị nke Onyenwe anyị Jisọs.
as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that we are your glorying, even as ye also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
15 Ihe m na-ekwu were m anya, nke mere m ji chọọ ibu ụzọ bịa leta unu ka unu nwee uru abụọ.
And in this confidence I was minded to come before unto you, that ye might have a second benefit;
16 Ebu m ya nʼobi na m ga-akwụsị hụ unu mgbe m na-agafe ịga Masidonia. Ebukwa m ya nʼobi m na mgbe m si Masidonia na-alaghachi na m ga-akwụsịkwa ileta unu, ka unu nweekwa ike inyere anyị aka mgbe anyị bidoro ịlaghachi Judịa.
and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and of you to be set forward on my journey unto Judaea.
17 E nwere m obi abụọ mgbe m chọrọ ime nke a? Ana m ezube nzube m dịka mmadụ nkịtị, onye dị nkwadobe ikwu “E,” na “E e,” nʼotu oge ahụ?
When I therefore was thus minded, did I shew fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay?
18 Ma dịka Chineke si bụrụ onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, okwu anyị gwara unu abụghị “E,” na “E e.”
But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not yea and nay.
19 Nʼihi na Ọkpara Chineke, Jisọs Kraịst, onye e sitere nʼọnụ Saịlas na Timoti na mụ onwe m kwusaa abụghị “E” na “E e,” kama nʼime ya ọ bụ naanị “E.”
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, [even] by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him is yea.
20 Nʼime Kraịst ka anyị hụrụ “E” na nkwa niile nke Chineke kwere ụmụ mmadụ. Nke a mere anyị ji site na ya kwee “Amen” nʼinye Chineke otuto.
For how many soever be the promises of God, in him is the yea: wherefore also through him is the Amen, unto the glory of God through us.
21 Ọ bụ Chineke nʼonwe ya mere ka anyị na unu guzosie ike nʼime Kraịst. O meela ka anyị bụrụ ndị e tere mmanụ.
Now he that stablisheth us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;
22 Ọ kara anyị akara nʼihu, nyekwa anyị Mmụọ Nsọ ya ka o biri nʼobi anyị, dịka onye ga-ahụ na anyị ga-emezu nkwa ahụ niile.
who also sealed us, and gave [us] the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Ana m akpọku Chineke dịka onye akaebe m, ọ bụ nʼihi ịnapụta unu mere m ji hapụ ịbịa Kọrint.
But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come unto Corinth.
24 Ọ bụghị na anyị bụ ndị ọchịchị nke okwukwe unu, kama anyị so unu na-arụkọ ọrụ ka unu nwe ọṅụ nʼihi na ọ bụ site nʼokwukwe ka unu ga-esi kwụrụ chịm.
Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
