2 Ndị Kọrint 2

1 Ekpebiri m nʼime obi m na-agaghị m abịakwute unu ọzọ, iwetara unu ihe mwute.

But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow.

2 Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na m eme ka obi jọọ unu njọ, onye kwanụ ga-akasị m obi ma ọ bụghị unu, unu onwe unu ndị m mere ka obi jọọ njọ?

For if I make you sorry, who then is he that maketh me glad but he that is made sorry by me?

3 E deere unu akwụkwọ a dịka m kwesiri ime ka m ghara inwe mwute mgbe m bịara, site nʼaka ndị kwesiri ime ka obi dị m mma, nʼihi na o doro m anya na ọṅụ m ga-abụ ọṅụ nke unu niile.

And I wrote this very thing, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is [the joy] of you all.

4 Eji m anya mmiri dị ukwuu na oke obi mgbu na obi mgbawa deere unu akwụkwọ, ọ bụghị ka m kpasuo unu iwe kama ka unu nwee ike ịmata oke ịhụnanya m nwere nʼebe unu nọ.

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

5 Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla mere ihe butere obi mgbu, ka a hapụ ikwu ya karịa ka o kwesiri, ọ bụghị naanị m ka o wetaara obi mgbu, o wetakwaara unu niile obi mgbu.

But if any hath caused sorrow, he hath caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to you all.

6 Nʼihi na ntaramahụhụ unu niile kpebiri nye ya ezuola.

Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was [inflicted] by the many;

7 Ugbu a, bikonu ụmụnna m, o kwesiri ka unu gbaghara ya, ma kasịe ya obi, ka ọ hapụ inwe obi ilu maọbụ daa mba na mmụọ ya, rubiga ụjụ oke.

so that contrariwise ye should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his overmuch sorrow.

8 Ya mere ana m arịọ unu, bikonu, gosinụ ya na unu hụrụ ya nnọọ nʼanya.

Wherefore I beseech you to confirm [your] love toward him.

9 Ihe mere m ji dee ihe m dere nʼakwụkwọ nke mbụ bụ ka m chọpụta ma unu jikekwara mgbe niile irube isi nʼihe niile.

For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things.

10 Ọ bụrụ na unu agbaghara onye ahụ mụ onwe m kwa agbagharala ya. Mgbaghara m, a sịkwa na o nwere ihe m na-agbaghara, ana m eme ya nʼihi unu nʼihu Kraịst.

But to whom ye forgive anything, I [forgive] also: for what I also have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes [have I forgiven it] in the presence of Christ;

11 Anyị na-eme nke a ka Ekwensu ghara ịghọgbu anyị. Anyị maara ihe niile ọ na-ezube.

that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

12 Mgbe m bịarutere Troas ikwusa oziọma Kraịst, e megheere m ụzọ nʼime Onyenwe anyị.

Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and when a door was opened unto me in the Lord,

13 Ma enweghị m izuike nʼime obi m, nʼihi na ahụghị m Taịtọs ezi nwanna m nʼebe ahụ. Nke a mere m jiri kelee ha hapụ ha gawa Masidonia.

I had no relief for my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia.

14 Ma ekele dịrị Chineke, onye na-edugharị anyị na-enye anyị mmeri, nʼihi njikọ e jikọtara anyị na Kraịst, onye na-eji anyị arụ ọrụ, ime ka onye ọbụla nụrụ isisi ụtọ nke oziọma ya.

But thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place.

15 Nʼihi na anyị bụ mmanụ isi ụtọ nke Kraịst nye Chineke, nʼetiti ndị ọ na-azọpụta na nʼetiti ndị na-ala nʼiyi.

For we are a sweet savor of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish;

16 Nʼetiti ndị ahụ na-ala nʼiyi, isisi ụtọ a bụ ihe na-ewetara ha ọnwụ, ma nʼetiti ndị ahụ a na-azọpụta, ọ bụ isisi ụtọ a na-ewetara ha ndụ. Onye zuru ime ihe ndị a?

to the one a savor from death unto death; to the other a savor from life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

17 Nʼihi na anyị adịghị ka ọtụtụ mmadụ ndị na-eji okwu Chineke azụ ahịa. Kama, nʼime Kraịst anyị na-ekwu okwu anyị site nʼobi dị ọcha, dịka ndị ahụ Chineke zipụrụ ịrụ ọrụ a.

For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.
