2 Makorinte 2
1 Linu china zeza kalwangu kuti kazi nikezi chezila isasamisa.
But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
2 Heva niva mi sasamisi, vava kuni susuweza nji vona vani vachisi.
For if I make you grieve, then who will make me glad but he who is made to grieve by me?
3 Na ñola muna ñolela njokuti kanzi ni chiswa kwavo vava kuswanela kuni tavisa. Nina insepo kuamana inwe muvonse kuti intavo yangu njiyona imukwete nenwe.
And I wrote this very thing to you, so that when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be shared by all of you.
4 Linu niva miñoleli ni manyando makando, mi ninina mubukavo vwe nkulo, ni zinsozi zingi. kena ni vali kusaka kumi sasamisa. kono, nibali kusaka kuti mwizibe ilato likando lini kwete kwenu.
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made to grieve, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.
5 Haiba zumwi waleta kuchisa, kena leta bulyo kwangu, kono kamukwa umwi, noti kwi tula chabukali, kono waleta kwenu mwese.
But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.
6 Kuli kene uzo mutu hahewa Inkoto bulyo ku vantu bangi.
This punishment which was inflicted by the many is sufficient for such a one;
7 Lya hanu hasa muha ikoto, mwina noku swalela niku muomba-omba. wina v, unjo nange ehaiwe vukando bwa maswavi akwe.
so that, on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
8 Linu ni misusuweza kuti muwole ku patalaza ilato lyenu kwali.
Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.
9 Ili nji vaka hani va ñoli, linu chingi nali kumilika kubona nandi mwi chilila onse.
For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
10 Heba uswalela zumwi, nimu swalela zuna muntu name. China swalela- haiva kwina china swalela-chaswalelwa kwineku lyenu havusu bwa Kreste.
Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
11 Ili kuti Satani sazi atu zwisi mwizila, kaho twizi hande milelo yakwe.
that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
12 Simwine ava ni yalwili mulyango haniya mwi tolopo ya Troas kuka kutaza ivangeli ya Keresite uko.
Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
13 Nanga vulyo, kena ni vena ni nkozo yo muhupulo, ka kuli kena ni vezi kuwana mukulwangu Titi uko. Cwale chi navasiya niku volela kwa Macedonia.
I had no relief for my spirit, because I didn’t find Titus my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.
14 Kono vuitumelo vuve kwa Ireeza, umo mwa Kreste utuyendisa mu miliko. Ketu usansaila munko yenzivo yakwe konse.
Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
15 Kakuli twina kwa Ireeza ina munko munati ya Kreste, bonse abo bakwete ku hazwa nabo ba kwete sinyeha.
For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God in those who are saved and in those who perish:
16 Ku vantu va vasinyehi, mi munko uzwa kwi fuu ni fuu, kwabo va kweta hazwa, mi munko uzwa kwi vuhalo ni vuhalo. Yo swanelwa izo zitu?
to the one a stench from death to death, to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
17 Mukuti katu swani ni vungi bwa vatu va vali kuwuza izwi lya Ireeza cho vu polofiti. Niha kuti, ka kujolola kwa mulelo, tuwamba mwa Keresite, sina hatu kwe tumitwe kwe Ireeza, ha busu bwe Ireeza.
For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.
