2 Abhakorintho 1
1 Paulo, intumwa ya Kristo Yesu kulwo kwenda kwa Nyamuanga na Timotheo muili weswe, ku kanisa ya Nyamuanga inu ili Korintho na bhekilisha bhona bhanu bhali mu chalo chona cha Akaya.
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God that is in Corinth, and to all the believers in the entire region of Achaia.
2 Echigongo chibhe kwimwe no mulembe okusoka ku Nyamuanga Lata weswe na Lata bhugenyi Yesu Kristo.
May grace be to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Na akusibwe Nyamuanga na Esemwene Lata bhugenyi Yesu Kristo. Omwene ni Lata we chigongo na Nyamuanga owo kusilisha kwone.
May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be praised. He is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.
4 Nyamuanga kachisilisha eswe munyako yeswe yona, koleleki chitule okubhasilisha bhaliya bhali munyako. Echibhasilisha abhandi kwo kusilisha kunu Nyamuanga kakolela okuchisilisha eswe.
God comforts us in all our affliction, so that we can comfort those who are in any affliction. We comfort others with the same comfort that God used to comfort us.
5 Kubha lwa kutyo kunyasibwa kwa Kristo okwiyongesha Kwiswe, nikwo kutyo no kusilisibwa kweswe okwongesibwa okulabhila Kristo.
For just as the sufferings of Christ abound for our sake, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
6 Nawe chikanyaka, ni kwo kusilisibwa kwemwe no mwelulo gwemwe. Na chikasilibwa ni kulwo kusilisibwa kwemwe. Kusilisha kwemwe eikola emilimu jinu jilijakisi munyako kwo kwigumilisha eswe ona munyako.
But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort. Your comfort is working effectively when you patiently share in the same sufferings that we also suffer.
7 No kwiikanya kweswe ingulu yeswe ni kulumile. Chimenyele ati mukasangila inyako, nikwo kutyo omusangila okusilisibwa.
Our expectation concerning you is unshaken, for we know that as you share the sufferings, you also share our comfort.
8 Kulwokubha chitakwenda emwe mubhe bhamumu, bhaili, ingulu ya jimfulubhendo jinu chaliga chilinajo eyo Asia. Chanyansibhwe okukila kutyo echitula okubhatula, chitabhwene bhwiikanyo bhwa kwikala lindi.
For we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the troubles we had in Asia. We were so completely crushed beyond our strength that we despaired even of life.
9 Chimali, chaliga chili na indamu yo lufu ingulu yeswe. Nawe eyo yaliga ilikuchikola eswe chisige okubha nobhiikanyo ingulu yeswe eswe, nawe chibhe nobhwiikanyo ku Nyamuanga, unu kachisulula abhafuye.
Indeed, we had the sentence of death on us. But that was to make us not put our trust in ourselves, but instead in God, who raises the dead.
10 Achikisishe eswe okusoka mulufu, na kachichungula lindi. Chatee kumwene obhubhasi bhweswe kumwene ati kachichungula lindi.
He rescued us from such a deadly peril, and he will rescue us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us.
11 Akola kutyo kwimwe ona omusakilana kulwo kusabwa kwemwe. Kutyo abhafu bhalisima kwe chigongo chinu chiyanibwe eswe okulabhila lisabwa lya bhafu.
He will do this as you also help us by your prayer. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor given to us through the prayers of many.
12 Echikuisha linu: obhubhambasi bhwe mitima jeswe. Kulwokubha nikulwobhwiganilisha bhwakisi no bhwelu bhwa Nyamuanga ati chalibhatilega eswe abhene muchalo. Chikolele kutya amwi nemwe, na atali mubhwengeso bhwe chalo, nawe chikolele muchigongo cha Nyamuanga.
We are proud of this: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world with holiness and godly sincerity, not relying on fleshly wisdom but on the grace of God.
13 Chitakubhandikila chona chona chinu mutakutula kuchisoma no kuchisombokelwa.
We write to you nothing that you cannot read and understand. I expect that,
14 Nili no bhubhasi ati kwolubhaju mwamalile ochimenya. Nili nobhubhasi ati kulusiku lwa Latabhugenyi Yesu chilibha nsonga yemwe ingulu ye chigundu chemwe, lwakutyo mulibha kwiswe.
as you have understood us in part, we will be your reason for boasting on the day of our Lord Jesus, just as you will be our reason to boast.
15 Kwo kubha naliga no bwiikanyo kulinu, nendaga okuja kwemwe kubwambilo, koleleki mutule okulamila ifaida yo kulibhatilwa lwa kabhili.
Because I was confident about this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might receive the benefit of two visits.
16 Naliga ninenda okubhalibhatila omwanya okwinganilila Makedonia. Lindi nendaga okubhalibhatila lindi omwanya nisubha okusoka Makedonia, mbe emwe omuntuma anye omwanya okwinganilila Bhuyaudi.
I was planning to visit you on my way to Macedonia. Then I wanted to visit you again on my trip from Macedonia, and then for you to send me on my way to Judea.
17 Ao naliga nikalaliye kutyo, mbe, naliga natalatanyishe? Mbe enenda emisango okwingana no kutula kwa bhanu, koleleki naike “Kutyo, kutyo, na “Uli, uli” kwo mwanya gumwi?
When I was thinking this way, was I hesitating? Do I plan things according to human standards, so that I say “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?
18 Nawe lwa kutyo Nyamuanga ali mwiikanyibwa, chitakwaika byona “Kutyo”na” uli.”
But just as God is faithful, we do not say both “Yes” and “No.”
19 Kwo kubha omwana wa Nyamuanga, Yesu Kristo unu Silvano, Timotheo nanye chamulasishe mwimwe, atali “Kutyo” na Uli.” unu omwanya gwona ni”Kutyo.”
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom Silvanus, Timothy and I proclaimed among you, is not “Yes” and “No.” Instead, he is always “Yes.”
20 Kwo kubha milago jona ni ja Nyamuanga ni “Kutyo” ali omwene. Kutyo ona okulabhila omwene echaika ati “Amina” kwa likusho lya Nyamuanga.
For all the promises of God are “Yes” in him. So also through him we say “Amen” to the glory of God.
21 Woli ni Nyamuanga unu kachikomesha eswe amwi nemwe ku Kristo, na achitumile eswe.
Now it is God who confirms us with you in Christ, and he appointed us,
22 Atulileo.............. ingulu yeswe achiyae Mwoyo mu mitima jeswe lwa chinu akachiyaye mala.
he set his seal on us and he gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee of what is to come.
23 Nawe inyuma yejo, enimulembeleja Nyamuanga okumbambalila anye injuno inu yakolele nisige okuja Korintho ntaja kubhanyola emwe.
Instead, I call God to bear witness for me that the reason I did not come to Corinth was so that I might spare you.
24 Inu italyati kubha echilegejwa okuganya elikisha lyemwe kutyo eyendibhwa okubha. Nawe inyuma yejo, echikola amwi nemwe ingulu yo bhukondelewe bhwemwe, lwakutyo mwimeleguyu mulikilisha lyemwe.
This is not because we are trying to control what your faith should be. Instead, we are working with you for your joy, as you stand in your faith.
