2 Makorinte 13
1 Ulu lwa vutatu ni niza kwenu. “Ku nyaswa konse ku swanela ku tanga cha zi vonekete ka che panki zovele kapa zotatwe.”
Behold, this is the third time I am coming to you: In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word stand.
2 Chini va wambite kale kwa va na va chiti chivi mi ni ku vonse ha ni ve na uko imwi inako ya vuveli, mi ni iwamba hape: Hete ni nize hape, kete ni ni va siyevulyo.
I have told before, and foretell, as present, and now absent, to them that sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare.
3 Ni mi wambila izi kakuti mukwete ku lola zivoneka kuti Kirisite njo wamba ku zwilila mwangu. Ka vulite ziho ka chenu. Kusivulyo, iye u kolete mwenu.
Do you seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me, who towards you is not weak, but is mighty in you?
4 Mukuti a va vambulwa mu ku vula ziho, kono uhala cha ziho za Ireeza. Mi naswe vulyo tu vulite ziho mwali, kono mutuhale naye cha ziho za Ireeza mukati ketu.
For although he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him: but we shall live with him by the power of God towards you.
5 Mu li tatuve mu vene mu vone haiva mwina mwi intumelo. Mu li like muvene. Ka mulemuhite kuti Jesu Kirisite wina mwenu? Mwe na, konji haiva kena mu va zumininwa.
Try your own selves if you be in the faith; prove ye yourselves. Know you not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless perhaps you be reprobates?
6 Mi nina insempo ya kuti ka muwane kuti ka tuzumininwe.
But I trust that you shall know that we are not reprobates.
7 Hanu tu lapela kwa Ireeza kuti kanji mutendi nanga bumwi vuvi. Ka ni lapeli kuti tu voneke sina tu va hitilili intiko. Kusivulyo, ni lapela kuti mutende chi shieme, ni ha kuvoneka kuti tu vashali intiko.
Now we pray God, that you may do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is good, and that we may be as reprobates.
8 Mukuti ka tu woli ku panga chimwi chi lwisanisa initi, kono vulyo cha initi.
For we can do nothing against the truth; but for the truth.
9 Mukuti tusanga mu kuvula ziho mi inwe mukolete. Naswe tulapela kuti mwi zuzilizwe.
For we rejoice that we are weak, and you are strong. This also we pray for, your perfection.
10 Ni ñola izi zintu ni ni sena namwe, nji kuti chinina nanwe kanzi ni mi tendi cha vukali cha ku velekisa vuyendisi bwangu-uvo Simwine bwa va nihi, ili kuti ni mizake ku zwila havusu, mi isiñi ku mi vozekeza hansi.
Therefore I write these things, being absent, that, being present, I may not deal more severely, according to the power which the Lord hath given me unto edification, and not unto destruction.
11 Cha ma manikizo, vakwetu, musange! Mutende cha ku vusulusa, mu su suwezwe, muzumi nzane ha mwina, muhale mwi inkozo. Mi Ireeza we lato ni inkozo ka ve nanwe.
For the rest, brethren, rejoice, be perfect, take exhortation, be of one mind, have peace; and the God of peace and of love shall be with you.
12 Muli lumelise mukati kenu cha kuli chunchuna ku jolola.
Salute one another with a holy kiss.
13 Vonse va zumine va mi lumelisa.
All the saints salute you.
14 Mi musa wa Simwine Jesu Kirisite, ilato lya Ireeza, ni kuli kopanya kwa Luhuho Lujolola zive nanwe mu vonse.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the charity of God, and the communication of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.
