2 Ndị Kọrint 2
1 Ekpebiri m nʼime obi m na-agaghị m abịakwute unu ọzọ, iwetara unu ihe mwute.
BUT I prescribed to myself this rule, not to 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 is he that maketh me glad, but he that is made sorrowful 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 have written unto you for this very purpose, that I might not, when I come to you, have sorrow from those in 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 grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly towards 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.
Now if any person hath given cause for grief, he hath not grieved me merely, but partly all of you; that I may add no farther burden.
6 Nʼihi na ntaramahụhụ unu niile kpebiri nye ya ezuola.
Sufficient for such person is that chastisement which hath been inflicted by the majority of you.
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.
Wherefore, on the contrary, ye rather ought to forgive and comfort him, lest such a one be swallowed up with excess of sorrow.
8 Ya mere ana m arịọ unu, bikonu, gosinụ ya na unu hụrụ ya nnọọ nʼanya.
Wherefore I exhort you to confirm your love towards 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 have I written, that I may know by this proof of you if 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 whomsoever ye forgive any thing, so do I; and if I forgive any thing, to whom I forgive, for your sakes I do it, in the person of Jesus Christ,
11 Anyị na-eme nke a ka Ekwensu ghara ịghọgbu anyị. Anyị maara ihe niile ọ na-ezube.
that no advantage 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.
But when I came to Troas to preach the Gospel of Christ, though a door was opened unto me by 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 test in my spirit on my not finding there Titus my brother: so taking my leave of them I went forth unto 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 to God, who causeth us always to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us 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 odour of Christ to God in those who are saved, and in those who 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 we are the odour of death unto death, to the other the odour of 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, adulterating the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.
