2 Abhakorintho 13

1 Lunu nilwo olwa kasatu ati enija kwemwe. “Bhuli omusango ni bhusibhusi gulomwe na bhanu bhabhili amwi bhasatu.”

This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”

2 Nambile okubhabwila ati kwabho abhobhakolele echibhibhi kala na kubhandi bhona omwanya naliga niliyo lwa kabhili, ne naika lindi ati: Nilibha, naja lindi, nitabhafwila chigongo.

I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest that if I come again, I will not spare,

3 Enibhabwila emwe linu kwo kubha omuyenja chimenyegesho ati Kristo kaikila okulabhila mwanye. Omwene atali mulenga kwimwe, nawe ali na managa kwimwe.

seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you.

4 Kwo kubha abhambilwe kulwo bhulenga, nawe ni muanga kwa managa ga Nyamuanga. Kwo kubha eswe ona chili bhalenga munda yaye, nawe chili bhaanga kwa managa ga Nyamuanga kwimwe.

For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

5 Ni mwilole abhene mulole alabha muli mu likilisha. Mwilegeje abhene. Mutakumenya ati Yesu Kristo ali amwi nemwe?

Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or do not you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

6 Nawe eniikanya ati emwe mulimenya ati eswe chitalemselwe.

But I hope that you will know that we are not disqualified.

7 Woli echisabwa Kunyamuanga ati musige okukola chona chona chibhibhi. Nitakusabwa ati eswe chitule okubhonekana okulabhila amasakwa, nawe enibhasabwa ati mukole jinu jiile, Nawe echitula okubhonekana chisingilwe amasakwa.

Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may seem to have failed.

8 Kwo kubha eswe chitakutula okukola lyona lyona inyuma ye chimali, nawe koleleki muchimali ela.

For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

9 Kwo kubha echikondelwa omwanya gunu chili bhalenga nemwe mukabha na managa. Echisabwa ona ati mukumile.

For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.

10 Nandika emisango jinu omwanya nikabha amwi nemwe nitakwenda okubholesha obhululu kwimwe. Nitakwenda okukolela obhutulo bhunu Lata bhugenyi ananile anye nibhombake na tali okubhanyamula.

For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

11 Echa ku bhutelo bhaili bhalume na bhagasi, mukondelelwe! mukole emilimu amwi, musilisibwe, mwiganilishe bhumwi, mwikale no mulembe. Na Nyamuanga we lyenda no mulembe abhe amwi nemwe.

Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

12 Mwikeshanyega bhuli umwi kwo kwinyunya abwelu.

Greet one another with a holy kiss.

13 Abhekilisha bhona abhabhakesha.

All the saints greet you.

14 Echigongo cha Lata bhugenyi Yesu Kristo, elyenda lya Nyamuanga no kusangila kwo mwoyo mwelu bhibhe amwi nemwe bhona.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
