1 Pọl, onyeozi nke Jisọs Kraịst dịka ọchịchọ nke Chineke si dị, na Timoti nwanne anyị nwoke, Na-edegara chọọchị Chineke nke dị na Kọrint, na ndị nsọ niile ndị nọ nʼala Akaịa akwụkwọ:
Pavl an Apostle of JESVS Christ, by the will of God, and our brother Timotheus, to the Church of God, which is at Corinthus with all the Saints, which are in all Achaia:
2 Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Chineke Nna anyị, na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịrị unu.
Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
3 Otuto dịrị Chineke na Nna nke Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst, bụ Nna nke obi ebere, nakwa Chineke nke nkasiobi niile.
Blessed be God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort,
4 Onye na-akasị anyị obi nʼime nsogbu anyị niile, ka anyị site nʼụzọ dị otu a nwee ike ịkasị ndị ọzọ niile nọ na nsogbu dị iche iche obi. Inyere ha aka dịka anyị onwe anyị si nata inyeaka site nʼaka Chineke.
Which comforteth vs in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any affliction by the comfort wherewith we our selues are comforted of God.
5 Nʼihi na dịka anyị si eketa oke nʼime ọtụtụ ahụhụ nke Kraịst, otu a nkasiobi anyị na-ababiga ụba site na Kraịst.
For as the sufferings of Christ abounde in vs, so our consolation aboundeth through Christ.
6 Ma ọ bụrụ na anyị na-ahụ ahụhụ, ọ bụ nʼihi na nkasiobi unu, nakwa nzọpụta unu. Ọ bụrụkwa na a na-akasị anyị obi, ọ bụkwa nʼihi nkasiobi unu, nke na-arụpụta ike na ume iji ntachiobi die ụdị ahụhụ nke anyị onwe anyị na-edikwa.
And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and saluation, which is wrought in the induring of the same sufferings, which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and saluation.
7 Olileanya anyị nwere nʼebe unu nọ sịrị ike, ebe anyị maara na dịka unu si eketa oke nʼịta ahụhụ anyị, otu ahụkwa ka unu ga-esi keta oke na nkasiobi ahụ anyị na-anata.
And our hope is stedfast concerning you, in as much as we know that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
8 Anyị chọrọ ka unu mara ụmụnna m, ihe banyere nsogbu e sogburu anyị nʼEshịa. Nʼezie, nsogbu ahụ karịrị anyị ike, mee ka anyị hapụ inwekwa olileanya na anyị ga-emesi dịrị ndụ.
For brethren, we woulde not haue you ignorant of our affliction, which came vnto vs in Asia, howe we were pressed out of measure passing strength, so that we altogether doubted, euen of life.
9 Nʼezie, ọ dị nnọọ nʼoge ahụ, dịka a ga-asị na a mara anyị ikpe ọnwụ. Ma anyị maara na o si otu a mee ka anyị nwee ike ịmụta na o kwesighị ka anyị tụkwasị obi nʼike nke aka anyị, kama ka anyị nwee olileanya nʼime Chineke, onye pụrụ ime ka ndị nwụrụ anwụ si nʼọnwụ bilie.
Yea, we receiued the sentence of death in our selues, because we shoulde not trust in our selues, but in God, which rayseth the dead.
10 Ọ bụ Chineke bụ onye zọpụtara anyị site nʼime oke ọnwụ dị otu a. Anyị nwekwara ntụkwasị obi na ọ ga-aga nʼihu na-azọpụtakwa anyị,
Who deliuered vs from so great a death, and doeth deliuer vs: in whom we trust, that yet hereafter he will deliuer vs,
11 dịka unu ga-enyekwara anyị aka site nʼekpere unu, ka ọtụtụ nwere ike nye ekele nʼihi anyị maka onyinye amara anyị natara na nzaghachi ekpere ọtụtụ mmadụ ndị a na-ekpere anyị.
So that ye labour together in prayer for vs, that for the gift bestowed vpon vs for many, thankes may be giuen by many persons for vs.
12 Ịnya isi anyị bụ nke a, na akọnuche anyị na-agbara anyị akaebe na anyị kpara agwa ọma nʼụwa, karịchasịa nʼebe unu nọ, nʼịdị nsọ na izi ezi nke si nʼaka Chineke. Nke a bụ site nʼamara o nyere anyị, ọ bụghị site nʼamamihe nke mmadụ.
For our reioycing is this, the testimonie of our conscience, that in simplicitie and godly purenesse, and not in fleshly wisedome, but by the grace of God wee haue had our conuersation in the worlde, and most of all to you wardes.
13 Nʼihi na ihe anyị na-edere unu abụghị ihe unu na agaghị agụta maọbụ ghọta. Enwere m nchekwube na unu ga-aghọta ya nke ọma.
For wee write none other thinges vnto you, then that ye reade or els that ye acknowledge, and I trust ye shall acknowledge vnto ye end.
14 Dịka unu ghọtarala anyị nwa nke nta ugbu a, unu ga-eji anyị anya isi nʼụbọchị nke Onyenwe anyị Jisọs.
Euen as ye haue acknowledged vs partly, that we are your reioycing, euen as ye are ours, in the day of our Lord Iesus.
15 Ihe m na-ekwu were m anya, nke mere m ji chọọ ibu ụzọ bịa leta unu ka unu nwee uru abụọ.
And in this confidence was I minded first to come vnto you, that ye might haue had a double grace,
16 Ebu m ya nʼobi na m ga-akwụsị hụ unu mgbe m na-agafe ịga Masidonia. Ebukwa m ya nʼobi m na mgbe m si Masidonia na-alaghachi na m ga-akwụsịkwa ileta unu, ka unu nweekwa ike inyere anyị aka mgbe anyị bidoro ịlaghachi Judịa.
And to passe by you into Macedonia, and to come againe out of Macedonia vnto you, and to be led foorth towarde Iudea of you.
17 E nwere m obi abụọ mgbe m chọrọ ime nke a? Ana m ezube nzube m dịka mmadụ nkịtị, onye dị nkwadobe ikwu “E,” na “E e,” nʼotu oge ahụ?
When I therefore was thus minded, did I vse lightnesse? or minde I those thinges which I minde, according to the flesh, that with me should be, Yea, yea, and Nay, nay?
18 Ma dịka Chineke si bụrụ onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, okwu anyị gwara unu abụghị “E,” na “E e.”
Yea, God is faithfull, that our worde towarde you was not Yea, and Nay.
19 Nʼihi na Ọkpara Chineke, Jisọs Kraịst, onye e sitere nʼọnụ Saịlas na Timoti na mụ onwe m kwusaa abụghị “E” na “E e,” kama nʼime ya ọ bụ naanị “E.”
For the Sonne of God Iesus Christ, who was preached among you by vs, that is, by me, and Siluanus, and Timotheus, was not Yea, and Nay: but in him it was Yea.
20 Nʼime Kraịst ka anyị hụrụ “E” na nkwa niile nke Chineke kwere ụmụ mmadụ. Nke a mere anyị ji site na ya kwee “Amen” nʼinye Chineke otuto.
For all the promises of God in him are Yea, and are in him Amen, vnto the glorie of God through vs.
21 Ọ bụ Chineke nʼonwe ya mere ka anyị na unu guzosie ike nʼime Kraịst. O meela ka anyị bụrụ ndị e tere mmanụ.
And it is God which stablisheth vs with you in Christ, and hath anoynted vs.
22 Ọ kara anyị akara nʼihu, nyekwa anyị Mmụọ Nsọ ya ka o biri nʼobi anyị, dịka onye ga-ahụ na anyị ga-emezu nkwa ahụ niile.
Who hath also sealed vs, and hath giuen the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Ana m akpọku Chineke dịka onye akaebe m, ọ bụ nʼihi ịnapụta unu mere m ji hapụ ịbịa Kọrint.
Nowe, I call God for a recorde vnto my soule, that to spare you, I came not as yet vnto Corinthus.
24 Ọ bụghị na anyị bụ ndị ọchịchị nke okwukwe unu, kama anyị so unu na-arụkọ ọrụ ka unu nwe ọṅụ nʼihi na ọ bụ site nʼokwukwe ka unu ga-esi kwụrụ chịm.
Not that wee haue dominion ouer your faith, but wee are helpers of your ioy: for by faith yee stande.
