2 Ndị Kọrint 13
1 Nke a ga-eme ya ugboro atọ m na-abịa ileta unu. Ọ bụ site nʼama mmadụ abụọ maọbụ atọ gbara ka a ga-eme ka okwu niile guzoro.
For the third time I am coming to see you. By the word of two or three witnesses each statement will be established.
2 Mgbe m bịara leta unu nke ugboro abụọ, abaara m ndị niile dara iwu nʼoge gara aga na mmadụ ndị ọzọ mba, dọọkwa ha aka na ntị, ihu na ihu. Ugbu a m na-anọghị ya, ana m adọkwa ha aka na ntị ọzọ, ọ bụrụ na m bịa ọzọ hụ na ndị mehiere na mbụ echegharịghị, aga m emesi ha ike.
I have said it, and I say it again before I come, just as if I were with you on my second visit, though for the moment absent, I say to those who have been long sinning, as well as to all others – that if I come again, I will spare no one.
3 Ebe unu chọrọ ka e gosi na Kraịst na-ekwu okwu nʼime m, ọ dịghị egosi adịghị ike mgbe ọ na-emeso unu omume, kama ọ na-eme ka ike ya pụta ìhè nʼebe unu nọ.
And that will be the proof, which you are looking for, that the Christ speaks through me. There is no weakness in his dealings with you. No, he shows his power among you.
4 Ọ bụ ezie na a kpọgidere ya na-adịghị ike, ma ugbu a, ọ na-adị ndụ site nʼike dị ukwuu nke Chineke. Anyị bụkwa ndị na-adịghị ike nʼime ya, ma ozi anyị na-ejere unu na mmekọrịta anyị na unu, anyị ga-eso ya dị ndụ site nʼike nke Chineke.
For though his crucifixion was due to weakness, his life is due to the power of God. And we, also, are weak in his weakness, but with him we will live for you through the power of God.
5 Ya mere, ka onye ọbụla nʼime unu nyochaa onwe ya, tulekwa omume ya, mara ma ọ ka kwudosiri ike nʼokwukwe ya. Ọ bụ na unu aghọtaghị na Jisọs Kraịst nọ nʼime unu? Ma ọ bụghị na unu enyochaala onwe unu hụ na unu emeghị nke ọma.
Put yourselves to the test, to see whether you are holding to the faith. Examine yourselves. Surely you recognize this fact about yourselves – that Jesus Christ is in you! Unless indeed you cannot stand the test!
6 Enwere m olileanya na unu niile ga-achọpụta na anyị adaghị ule ahụ.
But I hope that you will recognize that we can stand the test.
7 Ma anyị na-arịọ Chineke ka unu ghara ime ihe ọjọọ ọbụla. Anyị anaghị eme nke a iji gosi na anyị kwesiri ekwesi, kama ka unu nwee ike mee ihe dị mma, nʼagbanyeghị na ọ ga-adị ka a ga-asị na anyị emeghị nke ọma nʼọrụ anyị.
We pray to God that you may do nothing wrong, not that we may be seen to stand the test, but that you may do what is right, even though we may seem not to stand the test.
8 Nʼihi na anyị apụghị ime ihe ọbụla megide eziokwu, kama anyị na-eme ihe niile nʼihi eziokwu.
We have no power at all against the truth, but we have power in the service of the truth.
9 Anyị na-aṅụrị ọṅụ mgbe anyị na-adịghị ike ma hụ na unu dị ike. Ihe anyị na-arịọ Chineke bụ ka unu tozuo oke.
We are glad when we are weak, if you are strong. And what we pray for is that you may become perfect.
10 Ana m edere unu akwụkwọ a ugbu a, nʼihi na-achọghị m ịbara unu mba na inye unu ntaramahụhụ mgbe m bịara. Achọkwaghị m iji ikike ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere m nye unu ntaramahụhụ, kama achọrọ m iji ya wulie unu elu dịka ụlọ.
This is my reason for writing as I am now doing, while I am away from you, so that, when I am with you, I may not act harshly in the exercise of the authority which the Lord gave me – and gave me for building up and not for pulling down.
11 Nʼikpeazụ ụmụnna m, na-aṅụrịnụ ọṅụ. Gbalịanụ nʼimezi ndụ unu ka o zuo oke, na-agbarịta onwe ume, werenụ otu obi na-eme ihe, na-ebikwanụ nʼudo. Chineke nke udo na ịhụnanya ga-anọnyekwara unu.
And now, friends, goodbye. Aim at perfection; take courage; agree together; live in peace. And then God, the source of all love and peace, will be with you.
12 Werenụ isurita ọnụ dị nsọ kelerịta onwe unu.
Greet one another with a sacred kiss.
13 Ndị nsọ niile na-ekelekwa unu.
All Christ’s people here send you their greetings.
14 Ka amara Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst na ịhụnanya Chineke, na mmekọ nke Mmụọ Nsọ dịnyere unu niile.
May the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion with the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
