2 Ndị Kọrint 2
1 Ekpebiri m nʼime obi m na-agaghị m abịakwute unu ọzọ, iwetara unu ihe mwute.
But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
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 then that maketh me glad, but the same which 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 same unto you, 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 grieved, 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 have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
6 Nʼihi na ntaramahụhụ unu niile kpebiri nye ya ezuola.
Sufficient to such a man [is] this punishment, which [was inflicted] of 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 [ought] rather to forgive [him], and comfort [him], lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
8 Ya mere ana m arịọ unu, bikonu, gosinụ ya na unu hụrụ ya nnọọ nʼanya.
Wherefore I beseech you that ye would 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 be 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.
To whom ye forgive any thing, I [forgive] also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave [it], for your sakes [forgave I it] in the person of Christ;
11 Anyị na-eme nke a ka Ekwensu ghara ịghọgbu anyị. Anyị maara ihe niile ọ na-ezube.
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
12 Mgbe m bịarutere Troas ikwusa oziọma Kraịst, e megheere m ụzọ nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
Furthermore, when I came to Troas to [preach] Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened unto me of 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 rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence 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.
Now thanks [be] unto God, which always causeth us 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 unto God a sweet savour of Christ, 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 [we are] the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour 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 many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
