2 Bakolinto 1
1 Polo, ntoma ya Yesu-Klisto, kolanda mokano ya Nzambe, mpe ndeko Timote; Epai ya Lingomba ya Nzambe, oyo ezali kati na Kolinto; mpe epai ya basantu nyonso oyo bazali kati na Akayi mobimba:
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, the brother, to the congregation of God which is in Corinth, together with all the saints who are in all Achaia:
2 Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino kowuta na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto!
Favor to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Tika ete Nzambe mpe Tata ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, apambolama! Azali Tata oyo ayokelaka bato mawa, mpe Nzambe oyo abondisaka bato kati na makambo nyonso:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies, and the God of all consolation!
4 abondisaka biso kati na pasi ya lolenge nyonso mpo ete biso mpe tokoka kobondisa bato oyo bazali kati na pasi ya lolenge nyonso, na nzela ya kobondisama oyo biso mpe tozwaka kowuta na Ye Nzambe.
who comforts us in all out affliction, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any affliction, by the consolation with which they are comforted of God.
5 Pamba te, ndenge kaka tomonaka pasi mingi kati na Klisto, ndenge wana mpe Klisto abondisaka biso makasi.
For as the sufferings for Christ abound in us, also, our consolation abounds through Christ.
6 Boye soki tozali komona pasi, ezali mpo na kobondisama mpe lobiko na bino. Soki mpe biso tobondisami, ezali mpo ete bino mpe bobondisama mpo na koyikela pasi oyo tozali komona elongo na bino mpiko.
Now, whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort, and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effected by enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer.
7 Boye, tozali solo na elikya makasi na tina na bino, pamba te toyebi malamu ete ndenge kaka bozali komona pasi elongo na biso, ndenge wana mpe bozali kozwa kobondisama elongo na biso.
And out hope of you is steadfast, knowing that, as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the comfort.
8 Solo, bandeko, na tina na pasi oyo ekweyelaki biso kati na etuka ya Azia, tolingi boyeba malamu ete tonyokwamaki mingi kino ata kolemba nzoto mpe kobungisa elikya ya kokoba kozala na bomoi.
Wherefore, brethren, we would not have you ignorant concerning our affliction, which happened to us in Asia; that we were exceedingly pressed above our strength, insomuch as we despaired even of life.
9 Solo, tomonaki kaka ete basili kokatela biso etumbu ya kufa. Nzokande, ezalaki mpo ete tolongola elikya na bomoto na biso, kasi tozala na elikya nde na Nzambe oyo asekwisaka bakufi.
Nay, more, we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead;
10 Ye nde akangolaki biso na makama ya kufa ya lolenge wana, mpe akokangola biso lisusu. Solo, tozali na elikya kati na Ye ete akokangola biso lisusu,
who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11 awa bozali kosala elongo na biso na nzela ya mabondeli na bino. Boye, bato ebele bakozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe na tina na biso mpo na likabo ya ngolu oyo azali kopesa biso lokola eyano na mabondeli ya bato ebele.
you, also, laboring together in prayer for us, that the gift to us from many persons, may, by many, be acknowledged with thanksgiving for us.
12 Tala likambo oyo tokoki komikumisa na yango: mitema na biso ezali kotatola ete, kati na mokili mpe mingi penza na miso na bino, totambolaki na bosantu mpe na bosolo oyo ewutaka na Nzambe. Totambolaki bongo na bwanya ya bomoto te, kasi na ngolu ya Nzambe.
For this is our glorying--the testimony of our conscience, that with godly simplicity and sincerity, (not with fleshly wisdom, but by the favor of God, ) we have behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly among you.
13 Solo, tokomelaka bino makambo mosusu te, kaka makambo oyo bozali kotanga to oyo boyebi malamu. Mpe nazali na elikya ete bokososola penza malamu kino na suka,
For we write no other things to you than what you read, and also acknowledge; and I hope that you will acknowledge, even to the end;
14 ndenge kaka bosili kososola yango mwa moke, ete bokoki penza komikumisa na tina na biso, ndenge mpe biso tokomikumisa na tina na bino na mokolo ya Nkolo Yesu.
seeing, indeed, you have acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 Na elikya yango, nazalaki na mabongisi ya koya liboso epai na bino mpo ete bokoka kozwa ngolu ya mibale;
And in this persuasions I purposed to come to you first, that you might have a second gift;
16 mpe mpo ete, longwa epai na bino, nakende na Masedwane, mpe, sima na ngai kowuta na Masedwane, nazonga lisusu epai na bino mpo ete nazwa lisungi ya kokoba mobembo na ngai kino na Yuda.
and from you to pass through into Macedonia, and from Macedonia to come again to you, and by you to be sent forward into Judea.
17 Boni, elingi koloba ete namikakolaki tango nasalaki mabongisi yango to mpe elingi koloba ete nasalaka mabongisi na ngai kolanda baposa ya bomoto, mpo ete, na mbala moko, nandima likambo mpe naboya yango lisusu?
Having, then, purposed this, did I, indeed, use levity? or the things which I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh; so that with me there should be yes, yes, and no, no?
18 Kasi lokola ezali solo ete Nzambe azali Moyengebene, maloba oyo toyebisaki bino ezali te « iyo » mpe « te. »
But as God is faithful, certainly our word, which was to you, was not yes and no.
19 Pamba te Yesu-Klisto, Mwana na Nzambe, oyo ngai Silasi mpe Timote toteyaki bino, azalaki te « iyo » mpe « te; » kasi kati na Ye, ezalaki tango nyonso « iyo. »
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed to you by us, even by me and Sylvanus, and Timothy, was not yes and no; but in him was yes.
20 Pamba te bilaka nyonso ya Nzambe ezalaka « iyo » kati na Klisto; mpe ezali na nzela na Ye Klisto nde tolobaka « amen » mpo na nkembo ya Nzambe.
And whatever promises are of God, were through him yes, and through him amen, to the glory of God, by us.
21 Nzokande, ezali Nzambe nde alendisaka biso mpe bino kati na Klisto; mpe lokola abulisaki biso na nzela ya epakolami na Ye,
Now, he who establishes us with you in Christ, and who has anointed us, in God:
22 abetaki biso kashe na Ye lokola libula na Ye, mpe atiaki Molimo na Ye kati na mitema na biso lokola ndanga ya biloko oyo akopesa biso.
who has also sealed us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Nazali kolapa ndayi na Kombo ya Nzambe mpe likolo ya bomoi na ngai ete ezalaki te mpo na kolukela bino mindondo nde nazongaki lisusu te na Kolinto;
Moreover, I call on God as a witness against my soul, that to spare you, I have not as yet come to Corinth.
24 ezali mpe te mpo na kokonza kondima na bino, kasi tozali kosala elongo na bino mpo na esengo na bino, pamba te botelemi ngwi kati na kondima.
Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are joint promoters of your joy: for by the faith you stand.
