2 Wakorintho 1
1 Paulo n'tumee wa kristu Yesu kwa mapenzi gha K'yara, ni Timotheo ndongho bhitu, kwa likanisa la k'yara laliyele korintho, ni kwa bhaumini bhoa bhabhayele mu mkoa bhuoa wa Akaya.
[I], Paul, who [write this letter to you], became an apostle of Christ Jesus because God chose me for that. [Timothy, our] fellow believer, [is with me. I am sending this letter] to you who are God’s people in the congregations in Corinth [city. I want] the believers who live in [other places] in Achaia [province to also read this letter].
2 Neema na iyelai kwa yhomo ni amani kuhomela kwa K'yara Dadi wayhoto ni Bwana Yesu Kristu.
[We(exc) desire] that you will [experience] God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ [acting] kindly toward you and causing you to have [inner] peace.
3 Na afifibhuayi K'yara ndo Dadi wa Bwana Yesu Kristu. Muene Dadi wa rehema ni K'yara wa faraja syoa.
[We should] praise God, who is the father of our [(inc)] Lord Jesus Christ. He always pities us and helps us [because he is like] [MET] a father to us [and we are like his children]. He always encourages us [(inc)].
4 K'yara katufaliji tete kup'etela mateso gha tete ghoa, ili yakuwa tubhwesyai kubhafaliji bhala bhabhayele mmateso. Tukabhafariji bha mana kwa falaja yelayela ambayo K'yara atumili katufaliji tete.
He has encouraged us [(exc)] whenever we suffered hardships. As a result, we [(exc)] are able to encourage others whenever they suffer hardships, just as/just like God has encouraged us [(exc)].
5 Kwa kuya Katya kabhele mateso gha Kristu ghiyongeseka kwajia ya tete, kabhele falaja ya tete yiyongeseka kup'etela Kristu.
It is true that just like Christ suffered, we [who serve him] also continually suffer [because we belong to him]. But also, because we [belong to] Christ, God greatly strengthens us (just as/just like) [God strengthened him].
6 Lakini Katya titaabishwa, ni kwajia ya falaja ya yhomo ni wokovu wayhomo. Ni kitya tifalijibhwa, ni kwajia ya falaja ya yhoto. falaja ya yhomo yifuanya mbhombho kikamilifu pamwishiliki mateso kiuvumilivu kabhele Katya tete katiteseka.
So, whenever we [(exc)] experience sufferings, we [learn how to encourage] you [when you experience sufferings. As a result, you will become more and more the kind of people God] wants you to be. Whenever [God] strengthens us [(exc) when we are suffering, he] does that in order that you [may see how he makes us strong when we are suffering. Then, as God] encourages [you in that way], you will learn to continue patiently [trusting him] when you suffer as we do.
7 Ni ujasili bhuitu panani pa muenga uye thabiti. Tumanyili yakuwa Katya kela kwa mwishiliki mateso, kelakela ka mwishiliki falaja.
As a result, we [(exc)] strongly expect that because you suffer just as/just like we do, [God] will encourage you (just as/just like) [he] encourages us.
8 Kwa ndabha tilonda hee nimuenga muyela bhajinga, kup'etela matatiso ghataye naku okho Asia. Twabhonilibhu zaidi ya kela katibhuesya kuphenda, yibhonekana twa yehe ni tumaini la kuishi kabhele.
[Our] fellow believers, we [(exc)] want you to know [LIT] about the trouble that we suffered in Asia [province]. That trouble was so very great that it was much more than we were able to endure. As a result, we [(exc)] thought that we would certainly die.
9 Kueli, twayele ni hukumu panani mu kifo kitu. Lakini eye yayele kutuketa tete tukotokuya ni tumaini panani pa yhoto tayhoto, badala yaki tubhekai tumaini kup'etela k'yara, yaifufula wafu.
Indeed, we felt [like a person feels when he has heard a judge say], “I condemn you to die/be executed [MET].” But [God allowed us to think that we were going to die] so that we would not (rely on/trust in) our own [strength. He wanted us] instead [to rely] only on his [strength, because he] is the one who [has power even to make] those who have died live [again].
10 Atuokuili tete kuhomela agha maafa gha mauti, na akatuokola kabhele. Tu bhekili ujasili bhuitu kup'etela muene kujo alatuokola kabhele.
And [even though] we [(exc)] were [in terrible danger and were] about to die, God rescued us. And he will continue to rescue us [whenever we are in trouble]. We confidently expect that he will continue to rescue us [time after time].
11 Alaketa naa Katya kabhele muenga kamkatusaidila kwa maombi ghinu. Naa bhingi bhalapisya shukrani sabhene kwa nia ba ya tete kwajia ya upendeleo wa neema yatupelibhu tete kup'etela maombi gha bhingi.
[And we are also relying on] you to help us by praying for us [(exc)]. [If many people pray for us], many people will also thank [God] when [he] kindly answers those many prayers [and delivers us from danger].
12 Tukajifunila ele: ushuhuda wa dhimiri yhitu. Yakuwa ni kup'etela nia inofu ni unofu wa K'yara yakuwa talotili tayhoto ku dunia. Tuketili naa henu ni muenga, na so kup'etela hekima ya ulimwengu, lakini badala yaki ndo kup'etela neema ya K'yara.
I am happy [to say] that I have behaved toward all people [MTY] in an honest and sincere way. My conscience assures me [that this is true]. Especially, I have behaved toward you [honestly and sincerely because that is what] God wants us to do. As I have done that, [my thoughts] have not been the thoughts that unbelieving people [MTY] [think are] wise. Instead, [I have behaved toward people only as God wants me to, depending on] God to help me in ways that I do not deserve.
13 Tukabhayandikila hee kyoakela ambacho ka mwibhuesya lepi kusoma au kuyelebhwa. Niyeniujasili Ndabha kwa upandi mumalili kuyelebhwa.
[I say that] because [in all my letters to you] I have always written [LIT] clearly in a way that you can easily and completely understand [when you] read them.
14 Na niyele ni ujasili yakuwa kup'etela ligono la Bwana Yesu tulaya ndabha ya yhomo kwajia ya kiburi kya yhomo, katya kamlaya kwa tete.
[Previously some of] you, but not all of you, have completely understood [that I am always honest and sincere with you]. But I confidently expect that [soon] you will all be fully convinced [about that]. Then when the Lord Jesus [MTY] [returns, you will all be able to say that] you are pleased with me, just like I will [be able to say that] I am pleased with you.
15 Kwa ndabha uayele ni ujasili kup'etela ele, nilondeghe kuhida kwa muenga nosi, ya kuwa mubhwesyai kuyopa faida ya kugendelibhwa mala mbili.
It was because I felt sure [that all of you were pleased with me] that I was planning to visit you on my way from [here] to Macedonia [province]. I also planned to visit you again on my way back from there, so that I could [spend time with you] twice, and be able to help you more, and I was hoping that you would [give me things that I needed] [EUP] for my journey to Judea [province].
16 Nayele kupanga kubhagendela magono gha nielekelelai Makedonia. kabhele nilondeghe kubhagendela magono ghanikelebhuka kuhomela Makedonia, ni kabhele muenga kunituma nene magono ghanilota kuuyaudi.
17 Panayele kufikilila namna eye, ko, nayele kujo nabela belai? ko nipanga mambo kulengana ni fiwango fya kibinadamu, yakuwa nijobhai”Ena, ena” na”Lepi, lepi” kwa ligono limonga?
So then, even though I [changed my mind later and did not do what] I [first] planned to do, [it was not because I did not have an important reason for changing my plans]. Surely you do not [really think] that I decide what I am going to do like people who do not know God do! [RHQ] I am [not like that]. I am not [a person who] says [to people], “Yes, [certainly I will do that],” and then [for no good reason changes his mind and says], “No, [I will not do it].”
18 Katya kabhele K'yara kya ayele mwaminifu, tijobha hee fyoe”Ena” ni“Lepi”.
Just as surely as God always does what he says [he will do, it is true that I have never said], “Yes, [I will do this]” when I [really meant] “No.”
19 Kwa ndabha muana wa K'yara, Yesu Kristu, ambaye silvano, Timotheo ni nene tantangese miongoni mwa yhomo, so”Ena” ni” Lepi”. Badala yaki, muene magono ghoa ni”Ena”
[I follow the example of] God’s Son, Jesus Christ. When I, along with Silas and Timothy, taught you [about Christ], we told you that he was not [someone who said that he] would do [something] and [then] did not [do it]. Jesus Christ never [said to anyone], “Yes, [I will do what you desire],” and [then did] not [do it].
20 kwa ndabha ahadi syoa sya K'yara”Ena” kup'etela muene. Ele kabhele kup'etela muene tijobha”Amina” kwa utukufu wa K'yara.
[We(inc) know that is true], because everything that God promised to do [for his people], he has done completely by [sending] Christ [to save us]. That is why we say, “Yes, it is true! [God has done everything that he promised to do]!” And we praise him for that!
21 Henu ndo K'yara yaatuthibisisha tete ni muenga kup'etela Kristu, na atutumili tete.
Now it is only God himself who causes us [(exc)], as well as you, to keep on [believing] strongly in Christ. God is the one who chose us [(inc) to belong to him and to have a close relationship] with Christ.
22 Abhekili mihuri panani pa yhoto na atupelili Roho mumiteema yhitu katya dhamana ya khela kya angetupelili badaye.
He also sent his Holy Spirit into our [(inc)] lives to mark us as belonging to himself [MET]. Also, since he has sent his Spirit to live in us [(inc)], [he wants us to know by this that] he guarantees [MET] [to give us every other] ([blessing/good thing]) [that he has promised].
23 Badala yaki, nikansii K'yara kunshuhudila nene ndabha yainifwanyili nisihidi korintho yakuwa ni sibhalemeli muenga.
So now [I will tell you why I changed my mind and did not visit you as I intended to do]: God himself knows [that what I am telling you is true]. The reason that I did not return to Corinth was so that I might not have to [speak to you severely about the wrong that you had done].
24 Eye so ndo ndabha ya kubhajalibu kusibitisya namna imani ya yhomo kayilondeka kuya. Badala yaki, tiketa pamonga ni muenga kwajia ya furaha yhinu, katya kamwiyhema mu imani ya yhomo.
It is not that Silas, Timothy and I want to boss you [and tell you that you must] believe only what we say. [Not at all]! On the contrary, we [(exc)] are working as partners [with you] in order to make you happy. [We do not try to force you to believe everything that we believe, because we are sure that you are continuing to] trust [the Lord Jesus Christ] and that you are remaining firmly committed to him.
