< 2 Ndị Kọrint 6 >
1 Dịka ndị ha na ya na-arụkọ ọrụ nʼotu, anyị na-arịọ arịrịọ sị unu ahapụla ịnara amara a Chineke na-enye unu nʼefu.
But working together we indeed intreat you not to have received the grace of God in vain:
2 Nʼihi na ọ na-ekwu, “Nʼoge m na-anara mmadụ nke ọma anụrụ m olu unu. Ọ bụkwa ụbọchị nzọpụta ka m nyeere unu aka.” Lee, ugbu a bụ oge a na-anabata mmadụ nke ọma, ugbu a bụ ụbọchị nzọpụta.
(for he says, At a set time I heard you, and in the day of salvation I assisted you; behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation);
3 Anyị etinyeghị ihe ịsọ ngọngọ nʼụzọ onye ọbụla ka ọ ghara iwetara ọrụ anyị ihe ịta ụta.
giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, in order that the ministry may not be blamed;
4 Kama nʼime ihe niile, anyị na-agbalịsị ike ime ka ndị mmadụ mara na anyị bụ ndị na-ejere Chineke ozi. Anyị ji ndidi na ntachiobi na-edi nsogbu niile na mkpagbu niile na ahụhụ niile na-adakwasị anyị.
but in everything commending ourselves, as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulations, in straits, in difficulties,
5 A na-eti anyị ihe otiti ọtụtụ mgbe. E tinyekwala anyị nʼime ụlọ mkpọrọ dị iche iche. Ọtụtụ mgbe ka igwe mmadụ tikwara anyị ihe otiti. Anyị na-adọgbu onwe anyị nʼọrụ. Ọtụtụ abalị anyị nọkwara nʼime ịmụ anya na-erighị nri,
in stripes, in prisons, in tumults, in labors, in vigils, in fastings;
6 nʼime ịdị ọcha na ezi nghọta na ntachiobi nke anyị nwere, nʼinwe obiọma na ezi ịhụnanya nke ihu abụọ nʼadịghị na ya nʼime Mmụọ Nsọ,
by purity, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
7 sitekwa nʼikwu eziokwu na site nʼike Chineke. Anyị buru ezi omume dịka ngwa agha nʼaka nri na nʼaka ekpe.
by the word of truth, by the power of God; through the arms of righteousness right and left,
8 Ụfọdụ na-asọpụrụ anyị ma ndị ọzọ na-eme anyị ihe ihere. Ụfọdụ na-ata anyị ụta, ma ụfọdụ na-eto anyị. Ụfọdụ mmadụ na-agụ anyị dị ka ndị ụgha, ma anyị nọgidesịrị ike na-ekwu eziokwu.
through glory and dishonor, through evil report and good report; as deceivers, and true;
9 Ụwa amaghị anyị, ma a maara anyị. Ọ bụ ezie na anyị na ọnwụ na-anọ nso mgbe niile, ma lee anyị ka dịkwa ndụ. A na-ata anyị ahụhụ, ma lee anyị anwụghị.
as being unknown, and perfectly known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and not killed;
10 Anyị na-anọ nʼihe mwute mgbe niile, ma lee ọṅụ juru anyị obi. Anyị bụ ndị ogbenye, ma anyị na-eme ka ọtụtụ mmadụ bụrụ ndị ọgaranya. Anyị enweghị ihe ọbụla, ma lee anyị nwere ihe niile.
as sorrowing, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
11 Ndị enyi anyị nọ na Kọrint, anyị agwala unu ihe niile dị anyị nʼobi, anyị emeghepụla obi anyị nye unu.
Our mouth is open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.
12 Anyị ji obi anyị niile hụ unu nʼanya, ma unu mechiri obi unu nʼebe anyị nọ.
Be not straitened in reference to us, but be straitened in your own affections.
13 Ugbu a, ana m ekwu dịka ana m agwa ụmụntakịrị. Na-emesonu anyị dịka anyị si emeso unu, meenụ ka obi unu saa mbara nʼebe anyị nọ.
But as I speak to children, you indeed receive this reward.
14 Unu ekwela ka unu na ndị na-ekweghị ekwe nwee nkekọta ọbụla. Nʼihi na gịnị ka ezi omume na ajọ omume nwekọrọ? Olee ụdị mmekọ ìhè na ọchịchịrị ga-enwekọ?
Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what participation is there to righteousness and unrighteousness? or what fellowship has light unto darkness?
15 Ọ bụ nwekọ dị aṅaa dị na-agbata Kraịst na ekwensu? Gịnịkwa ka onye kwere ekwe na onye na-ekweghị ekwe nwekọrọ?
What concord of Christ unto Belial? or what part has a faithful man with an infidel?
16 Gịnị bụ ihe jikọtara ụlọnsọ Chineke na arụsị? Nʼihi na anyị onwe anyị bụ ụlọnsọ Chineke dị ndụ. Dịka Chineke kwuru, “M ga-ebi nʼime ha. Jegharịakwa nʼime ha. M ga-abụkwa Chineke ha, ma ha onwe ha ga-abụkwa ndị nke m.”
And what harmony has the temple of God with idols? for we are the temple of the living God; as God said; I will live in them, and walk about among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Ya mere, “Sinụ nʼetiti ha pụta. Nọpụkwanụ iche nʼebe ha nọ. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Unu emetụkwala ihe ọbụla rụrụ arụ aka. Mụ onwe m ga-akpọbatakwa unu.”
Therefore come out from the midst of them, and be ye separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 Ma, “Aga m abụrụ unu Nna, unu onwe unu ga-abụkwara m ụmụ m ndị ikom na ndị inyom. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru.”
and I will be to you for a Father, and you shall be unto me for sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.
