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 our brother Timothy: To the Church of God in Corinth, with all God's people throughout Greece.
2 Echigongo chibhe kwimwe no mulembe okusoka ku Nyamuanga Lata weswe na Lata bhugenyi Yesu Kristo.
May grace and peace be granted to you 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.
Heartfelt thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father who is full of compassion and the God who gives all comfort.
4 Nyamuanga kachisilisha eswe munyako yeswe yona, koleleki chitule okubhasilisha bhaliya bhali munyako. Echibhasilisha abhandi kwo kusilisha kunu Nyamuanga kakolela okuchisilisha eswe.
He comforts us in our every affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction by means of the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5 Kubha lwa kutyo kunyasibwa kwa Kristo okwiyongesha Kwiswe, nikwo kutyo no kusilisibwa kweswe okwongesibwa okulabhila Kristo.
For just as we have more than our share of suffering for the Christ, so also through the Christ we have more than our share of comfort.
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, on the one hand, we are enduring affliction, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if, on the other hand, we are receiving comfort, it is for your comfort which is produced within you through your patient fortitude under the same sufferings as those which we also are enduring.
7 No kwiikanya kweswe ingulu yeswe ni kulumile. Chimenyele ati mukasangila inyako, nikwo kutyo omusangila okusilisibwa.
And our hope for you is stedfast; for we know that as you are partners with us in the sufferings, so you are also partners in the 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 as for our troubles which came upon us in the province of Asia, we would have you know, brethren, that we were exceedingly weighed down, and felt overwhelmed, so that we renounced all hope 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.
Nay, we had, as we still have, the sentence of death within our own selves, in order that our confidence may repose, not on ourselves, but on God who raised the dead to life.
10 Achikisishe eswe okusoka mulufu, na kachichungula lindi. Chatee kumwene obhubhasi bhweswe kumwene ati kachichungula lindi.
He it is who rescued us from so imminent a death, and will do so again; and we have a firm hope in Him that He will also rescue us in all the future,
11 Akola kutyo kwimwe ona omusakilana kulwo kusabwa kwemwe. Kutyo abhafu bhalisima kwe chigongo chinu chiyanibwe eswe okulabhila lisabwa lya bhafu.
while you on your part lend us your aid in entreaty for us, so that from many lips thanksgivings may rise on our behalf for the boon granted to us at the intercession 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.
For the reason for our boasting is this--the testimony of our own conscience that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, and in reliance not on worldly wisdom but on the gracious help of God, that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and above all in our relations with you.
13 Chitakubhandikila chona chona chinu mutakutula kuchisoma no kuchisombokelwa.
For we are writing to you nothing different from what we have written before, or from what indeed you already recognize as truth and will, I trust, recognize as such to the very end;
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.
just as some few of you have recognized us as your reason for boasting, even as you will be ours, on the day of Jesus our Lord.
15 Kwo kubha naliga no bwiikanyo kulinu, nendaga okuja kwemwe kubwambilo, koleleki mutule okulamila ifaida yo kulibhatilwa lwa kabhili.
It was because I entertained this confidence that I intended to visit you before going elsewhere--so that you might receive a twofold proof of God's favour--
16 Naliga ninenda okubhalibhatila omwanya okwinganilila Makedonia. Lindi nendaga okubhalibhatila lindi omwanya nisubha okusoka Makedonia, mbe emwe omuntuma anye omwanya okwinganilila Bhuyaudi.
and to pass by way of Corinth into Macedonia. Then my plan was to return from Macedonia to you, and be helped forward by you to Judaea.
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?
Did I display any vacillation or caprice in this? Or the purposes which I form--do I form them on worldly principles, now crying "Yes, yes," and now "No, no"?
18 Nawe lwa kutyo Nyamuanga ali mwiikanyibwa, chitakwaika byona “Kutyo”na” uli.”
As certainly as God is faithful, our language to you is not now "Yes" and now "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 Jesus Christ the Son of God--He who was proclaimed among you by us, that is by Silas and Timothy and myself--did not show Himself a waverer between "Yes" and "No." But it was and always is "Yes" with Him.
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, whatever their number, have their confirmation in Him; and for this reason through Him also our "Amen" acknowledges their truth and promotes the glory of God through our faith.
21 Woli ni Nyamuanga unu kachikomesha eswe amwi nemwe ku Kristo, na achitumile eswe.
But He who is making us as well as you stedfast through union with the Anointed One, and has anointed us, is God,
22 Atulileo.............. ingulu yeswe achiyae Mwoyo mu mitima jeswe lwa chinu akachiyaye mala.
and He has also set His seal upon us, and has put His Spirit into our hearts as a pledge and foretaste of future blessing.
23 Nawe inyuma yejo, enimulembeleja Nyamuanga okumbambalila anye injuno inu yakolele nisige okuja Korintho ntaja kubhanyola emwe.
But as for me, as my soul shall answer for it, I appeal to God as my witness, that it was to spare you pain that I gave up my visit to Corinth.
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.
Not that we want to lord it over you in respect of your faith--we do, however, desire to help your joy--for in the matter of your faith you are standing firm.
