2 Wakorintho 7
1 Bhapendwa bhangu, kwa ndabha tuye ni ahadi ese, na tujitakisiayi tayhoto kwa kila lijambo lalika tuketa tuyelai tabhachafu mu mibhele yhitu kiroho. Na tuulondai utakatifu kihofu ya k'yara.
With these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that pollutes either body or spirit, and, in deepest respect for God, aim at perfect holiness.
2 Mketai nafasi kwa jia ya yhoto! Tunkosili hee munu yuoayola. Tanzulili lepi munu yuoayola. Tujinufaishi lepi kwa faida ya munu yuoayola.
Make room for us in your hearts. In no instance have we ever wronged, or harmed, or taken advantage of, anyone.
3 Nijobha ele so kwa kubhalaumu. Ndabha ni malili Kujobha kujo muyele mu miteema yhitu, kwa tete kufwa pamonga ni kuishi pamonga.
I am not saying this to condemn you. Indeed, I have already said that you are in our heart, to live and die together.
4 Niyele ni ukifu ubhaa mugati ya yhomo, na nikajifunula ndabha ya yhomo. Nimemili ni fulaha hata pagati pa mateso ghitu ghoa.
I have the utmost confidence in you; I am always boasting about you. I am full of encouragement and, in spite of all our troubles, my heart is overflowing with happiness.
5 Twahidili Makedonia, mibhele ya yhoto yaayele hee yakup'homoseka. Badala yaki, takabhili taabu kwa namna syoa Kutobhibhwa vita upandi wa kwibhala ni hofu upandi wa mugati.
Ever since we reached Macedonia, we have had no rest in body or mind; on every side there have been troubles – conflicts without, anxieties within.
6 Lakini K'yara, yaakabhafaliji yabhakatili tamaa, atufaliji kwa ujio wa Tito.
But God, who encourages the downcast, has encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.
7 Yayele hee kwa kuhida muene kuwa K'yara atufaliji. Yayele kabhele falaja sela Tito saasipokili kuhomela kwa yhomo. Muene atujobhili ya kuwa upendo ubhaa wamyele nabhu, kuhuzunika kwa yhomo, nakamwayele ni wasi wasi kwajia ya nene. Efu nizidili kuhobhoka nesu.
And it is not only by his arrival that we are encouraged, but also by the encouragement which he received from you; for he tells us of your strong affection, your penitence, and your zeal on my behalf – so that I am happier still.
8 Hata kujo walaka bhuangu wabhafwanyili kusikitika, nikaujutila liee. Ila nijutila pana ubhona walaka obho ubhafwanyili muyelai ni huzuni muenga. Ila so mwayele ni huzuni kwa mda udebe.
For, though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Even if I were inclined to regret it – for I see that my letter did cause you sorrow though only for a time –
9 Henu nihobholela, so kwa ndabha mwayele ni shida, ndabha huzuni sinu sabhaletili mu toba. Mwakabhili huzuni ya kiungu, hombi mwa tesibhu sikihasala ndabha ya tete.
I am glad now; not because of the sorrow it caused you, but because your sorrow brought you to repentance. For it was God’s will that you should feel sorrow, in order that you should not suffer loss in any way at our hands.
10 Ndabha huzuni ya kiungu yileta toba yayika milisya wokovu wa bila ya kuya ni majuto. Huzuni ya kidunia, hata kabhele, yileta mauti.
For, when sorrow is in accordance with God’s will, it results in a repentance leading to salvation, and which will never be regretted. The sure result of the sorrow that the world knows is death.
11 Mlangai huzuni eye ya kiungu yakizalishi azma yeleku ibhaa mugati mwinu. Namna yeleku azma kayayele ubhaa mugati mwa yhomo kwa kulasya kujo mwayelepi ni hatia. Kwa namna yeleku uchungu wa yhomo kauyele ubhaa, hofu yhimo, matamanilu ghinu, bidii yhinu, ni shauku yhinu ya kubhona kutya haki kayilondeka kuketibhwa! kup'etela kila lijambo yamsibitishi mwa yhomo kutokuyani hatia.
For see what results that other sorrow – sorrow in accordance with God’s will – has had in your case. What earnestness it produced! What explanations! What strong feeling! What alarm! What longing! What eagerness! What readiness to punish! You have proved yourselves altogether free from guilt in that matter.
12 Kujobhela nabhayandikili muenga, nayandiki lepi kwajia ya mkosaji, wala so kwa munu ya atesibhu ni maovu. Nayandiki ya ndabha uzati wa miteema ya yhomo kwajia ya tete ibhuesya kumanyikana kwa yhomo palongolo pa mihu gha K'yara.
So, then, even though I did write to you, it was not for the sake of the wrongdoer, or of the man who was wronged, but to make you conscious, in the sight of God, of your own earnest care for us. And it is this that has encouraged us.
13 Ni ndabha ya ele kujo tifalijika. Kup'etela nyongesya ya falaja ya yhoto tabhene, tihobholela kabhele, kabhele kuzidi ndabha ya Tito, ndabha roho yaki yabhabuludishi ni muenga mwabhoa.
In addition to the encouragement that this gave us, we were made far happier still by the happiness of Titus for his heart has been cheered by you all.
14 Yakuwa kujo najifunili kwa muene kuhisiana ni muenga nayele hee nisoni. Kinyume kyaki, kutya tukaliayi lilobhi latajobhili kwa yhomo layele la ukueli, majifuno ghitu kup'etela Tito ghasibitishu kujo gha ukueli.
Although I have been boasting a little to him about you, you did not put me to shame; but, just as every thing we had said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus about you has also proved to be the truth.
15 Upendo bhuake kwajia ya yhomo hata kujo mmbaa zaidi, Katya kaikhomboka utii bhkimo mwabhoa, kutya kamwamkalibisi muene ki hofu ni kutelemeka.
And his affection for you is all the greater, as he remembers the deference that you all showed him, and recalls how you received him with anxious care.
16 Nihobholela ndabha ya ukifu ubhaa mugati mwinu.
I am glad that I can feel perfect confidence in you.
