2 Makorinte 7

1 Basakiwa, buti mutwina insepiso tulijoloze kunzitu zonse zitu panga bena inkwe mumibili ni muluhuho. Tu wonderere kunjolola mukutiya Ireeza.

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2 Mutu lukiseze chibaka! kana tubafosekezi umwi. kana tuba holofazi muntu kapa kuchengelela umwi.

Make room for us; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.

3 Kana kumimyaza iyo niwamba. Sina hani bawambi kale kuti mwina mwi nkulo zetu, kwetu kuti tufwe hamwina ni kuhala hamwina.

I do not say this to condemn you; I have said before that you are in our hearts, whether to die together or to live together.

4 Nina i sepo inkando mwenu, imi nilinuneka chenu. ni zwire ku ombawombwa. Ni zwire kusanga nanga mumanyando etu onse.

I have great confidence in you; I do a lot of boasting about you. I am filled with encouragement, overflowing with joy in spite of all our affliction.

5 Hatukeza kwa Masendoniya, mibiri yetu kena ibena impumulo. chebaka lyobulyo, tuba katezwe muzintu zonse che nfapani zibena hanze ni kutiya kubena mukati.

Now indeed, when we came into Macedonia we had no physical rest, but were surrounded by affliction—conflicts on the outside, fears on the inside.

6 Kono Ireeza, yo susuweza ba zwafite, aba tu susuezi cha kusika kwa Tite.

But the God who encourages the lowly encouraged us by the coming of Titus;

7 Kena ibali chakusika bulyo chaba tususuezi kacho Ireeza. Ibali ni che susuezo yaba tambuli Tite kuzwa kwako. Abatu wambiri kaze rato lyenu, kuwilwa kwenu, ni kubirerera ahulu ime. Imi sanga ni kuhitiliza.

and not only by his coming, but also by how much he was encouraged over you as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal in my stead, so that I rejoiced even more.

8 Nangati kuti iñolo lyangu libezi kukuzuwisa bubi, Kani linyasi chalyo. Kono nibali nyansi hani bona kuti iñolo lyangu libezi kukuzuwisa bubi. Kono ubalizu bubi che kanako zana.

Even though that letter caused you sorrow, I do not regret it (though I almost did), because I perceive that the letter made you sorry, though only for a while.

9 Hanu ni sangite, insiñi kuti muba mubazuwile butuku, kono kakuti kusalizuwa hande kwenu buba mileti kulinyaza zivi zenu. Mube zibi maswabi a zamilimu, mi kana muba nyandi cha kusinyehelwa chimwi kabeka lyetu.

Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry as God intended, so as not to be harmed by us in any way.

10 Kakuki chiliro cha milimu chiletera kubaka iri kuwanisa kuhazwa nikusena kuli nyansa. Chiliro chefasi, nihakuba bulyo, chileta ifu.

Now godly sorrow produces repentance into salvation without regret, but the world's sorrow produces death.

11 Bone bukando bwentundamo yamaswabi abuireeza ziabaleti kwako. Ibali inkando vule intundamo mwenu ku konisa kuti kana muvbena mulandu. Ibali kukando vule kubenga kwako, kutiya, indiwulu yako, kulitombola, nikuna kuti busakusimwa bupangwa! Munzintu zonse zimuba bonahazi kuti kamwina mulandu mwi indaba.

Just consider your own being caused to sorrow in a godly manner, how much diligence it produced in you—what self-defense, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have demonstrated yourselves to be clear in the matter.

12 Nihakuba kuti niba miñoleri, Kena niba ñoli chebaka lyo kupanga bubi, kamba chozo yaba pangi bubi. Niba ñoli iri kuti kusepahala kwenu kwetu kuboneke kwenu habusu bwe Ireeza.

So even though I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the wrongdoer, nor for that of the victim, but, before God, so that your real commitment to us might be made clear to you.

13 Ibaka lyezi tuba susuwezwe. Chokuwelekeza kuwombawombiwa kwetu, tubezi kusanga ni kuhitiliza chebaka lya kusanga kwa Tite, kakuli luhuho lwakwe lubabiswa buhya chenu mobonse.

We have been encouraged by all this. Because of your encouragement, we rejoiced all the more over the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

14 Mukuti haiba nili tundumuna kwakwe chenu, Kena niba swabisiswa. Ne kena bulyo, sina zintu zonse zitu bawambi kwenu zibali za kusakusimwa, kuli tundumuna kwetu kuamana nanwe kwa Tite kuba bonisi kuba kusakusimwa.

Because wherein I boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame, but just as everything we spoke to you was true, so also our boasting to Titus proved to be true.

15 Ilato lyakwe kwenu ikando maswe, sina habazezi ikute lyenu mubonse, mumubezi kumu tambwila chokutiya ni chachalika.

Also, his affection for you is all the greater, as he remembers your collective obedience as you received him with fear and trembling.

16 Ni sangwa kakuti nina i sepo inzwire mwenu.

I am so glad that I have complete confidence in you.
