2 Makorinte 6
1 Imi hape, kusebezisana hamwina, tumikumbila kusatambula ikanya ye Ireeza isena musebezi. sina aba wambi, Munako iswanela, Nibatekikwako.
And also working together we call on [you] that you do not receive the grace of God in vain—
2 Imi mwizuba lye mpuluso ni bakutusi. “lole hanu chinako iswanela.” Lole hanu izuba lyempuluso.
for He says, “In an acceptable time I heard you, and in a day of salvation I helped you, behold, now [is] a well-accepted time; behold, now, a day of salvation.”
3 kanzitubiki zisitataliso habusu bwazumwi mukuti kazilete musebezi we Ireeza kushinyeha.
In nothing giving any cause of offense, that the ministry may not be blamed,
4 Mukuti, tuli kolwisisa tubonse cha misebezi yetu. Mukuti tubahika be Ireeza.
but in everything recommending ourselves as God’s servants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,
5 Tubahikana bakwe mukutundamena, mukuzwafiswa, mumanyando, mukudamwa, mukusuminwa, mukulwiswa, mumasukuluka, mukulala chilabila,
in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,
6 munzala, mukujolola, munzibo, munkulo-nde, mukushiyama, muchisemo, muluhuho lujolola, nimwilato lishiyeme.
in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in unhypocritical love,
7 Tubahikana bakwe ni mwinzwi lyeniti, nimuziho ze Ireeza. imi twina insilelezo inakwiyanza lijolola linakubulyo niku lyachimonso.
in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armor of righteousness, on the right and on the left,
8 Tusebeza mwikute, ni mukusakutekeha, ni mukuwambwa bubi, ni mukububekwa. Tunyanswa mukuti tuwamba mapa imi nituwamba ze niti.
through glory and dishonor, through evil report and good report, as leading astray, and true;
9 Tusebeza sina katwizibitwe imi kanti twizibenkene. tusebeza sina bayakukufwa, mi mulole tusihala, Tusebeza sina bahindikitwe munkezozetu kono katunyansilizwe mukufwa. tusebeza sina basukulukite kanti inakoyonse tusangite.
as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and behold, we live; as disciplined, and not put to death;
10 Tusebeza sina bashebete, kono kanti tubika bangi kuba bafumite. Tusebeza ni tusawani chimwi kanti katuwane, zintuzonse.
as sorrowful, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
11 Kanti, tuwamba kwenu zonse chabuniti. Makorinte, imi nkulo zetu ziyaluki.
Our mouth has been open to you, O Corinthians, our heart has been enlarged!
12 Inkulo zenu kazisinene chetu, kono zisinene cha maikuto enu.
You are not restricted in us, and you are restricted in your [own] yearnings,
13 Hanu, mushelene ni wamba sina yowamba kumuhwile mwiyalule ahulu inkulo zenu.
and [as] a repayment of the same kind (as to children I say [it]), be enlarged—also you!
14 Kanji, musuminwa hamwina nibasa zumini. Linu chinzi balukite abakopana niba tenda zive? Imi kanti chizwale nzii china mwiseli ne fifi? Kuzuminzana kwinabule kwena Jesu ni batenda zibe?
Do not become yoked with others—unbelievers, for what partaking [is there] to righteousness and lawlessness?
15 Kapa chinzi chali kauhanyeza mulumeli niyotenda zive?
And what fellowship to light with darkness? And what concord to Christ with Belial? Or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?
16 Imi intumelelano nzi, ina mukati ke tempele ye Ireeza ni ziswaniso? Sina hatuli twi tempele ihala ye Ireeza, sine Ireeza habawambi: “Kanizake mukatikabo imi niyende mukati kabo. Munibe Ireeze wabo, imi mubabe bantu bangu.”
And what agreement to the temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God, according as God said, “I will dwell in them, and will walk among [them], and I will be their God, and they will be My people,
17 Lyahanu, “Muzwe mukati kabo imi mulikauhanye,” mwatela Ireeza. Kanzi muwondi zintu zisa jolwele, imi muni mitambule.
for this reason, come forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, says the LORD, and do not touch an unclean thing, and I will receive you,
18 Munibe Ishenu inwe mubebana bangu, imi kamube banabangu baba swisu niba kazana, “Kuwamba Ireeza wina kwilu.
and I will be for a Father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to Me, says the LORD Almighty.”
