2 Bakolinto 13
1 Ekozala mbala na ngai ya misato ya koya epai na bino. Bosolo ya likambo nyonso endimamaka na litatoli ya bato mibale to misato.
This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established;
2 Nasilaki kokebisa bino tango nayaki epai na bino mpo na mbala ya mibale, mpe, wana nazali nanu mosika na bino, nazali kozongela yango lisusu epai ya bato oyo basalaki masumu liboso mpe epai ya bato nyonso, ete, tango nakoya lisusu, nakoyokela moto ata moko te mawa,
I have said before, and I say [it] before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,
3 lokola bozali kosenga elembo oyo ezali kolakisa ete Klisto alobaka na nzela na ngai; pamba te azali na bolembu te mpo na bino, kasi asalaka na nguya kati na bino.
since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,
4 Solo, atako babakaki Ye na ekulusu kati na bolembu, kasi azali na bomoi na nzela ya nguya ya Nzambe. Biso mpe ndenge moko: tozali na bolembu kati na Ye, kasi tokomilakisa bato ya bomoi elongo na Ye na nzela ya nguya ya Nzambe, na lolenge na biso ya kosala mpo na bolamu na bino.
for even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he doth live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you.
5 Bomimeka bino moko mpe botala soki bozali kati na kondima; bomitala penza bino moko malamu. Boyebi te ete Yesu-Klisto azali kati na bino? Loba ete bosila kokweya liboso ya komekama.
Your own selves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your own selves prove ye; do ye not know your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of?
6 Kasi nazali na elikya: bokoyeba solo ete biso tokweyaki te liboso ya komekama.
and I hope that ye shall know that we — we are not disapproved of;
7 Sik’oyo, tozali kobondela Nzambe mpo ete bosala mabe ata moko te; ezali te mpo bato bamona ete biso tolonga komekama, kasi mpo ete bino bosala bolamu, mpe biso tomonana lokola bato oyo balonga te.
and I pray before God that ye do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved;
8 Pamba te tozali na nguya te ya kotelemela solo, kasi tozali kaka na nguya ya kokokisa yango.
for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;
9 Tozali na esengo ya kozala na bolembu, kasi bino bozali makasi; mpe tosengaka na Nzambe kati na mabondeli na biso ete bokoma bato ya kokoka.
for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for — your perfection!
10 Yango wana, nazali kokomela bino makambo yango nyonso, awa nazali nanu mosika na bino, mpo ete, tango nakoya, bomona ngai te lokola moto ya makambo makasi na lolenge na ngai ya kosalela bokonzi oyo Nkolo apesaki ngai mpo na kolendisa kondima na bino, kasi mpo na kokweyisa yango te.
because of this, these things — being absent — I write, that being present, I may not treat [any] sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.
11 Bandeko na ngai, nasukisi mokanda na ngai na maloba oyo: Bosepelaka! Bolukaka kokoma bato ya kokoka, bolendisanaka bino na bino, bozalaka na likanisi moko, bobikaka bomoi na bino na kimia. Bongo Nzambe ya bolingo mpe ya kimia akozala na bino elongo.
Henceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the love and peace shall be with you;
12 Bopesanaka mbote na beze ya bule.
salute one another in an holy kiss;
13 Basantu nyonso oyo bazali awa batindeli bino mbote.
salute you do all the saints;
14 Tika ete ngolu ya Nkolo Yesu-Klisto, bolingo ya Nzambe mpe lisanga na Molimo Mosantu ezala na bino nyonso!
the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, [is] with you all! Amen.
