2 Abakkolinso 7
1 Abaagalwa, nga bwe tulina ebisuubizo ng’ebyo, twetukuze mu buli kintu ekyonoona omubiri n’omwoyo, nga tutuukiriza obutukuvu mu kutya Katonda.
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Mutuggulirewo emitima gyammwe, kubanga tewali n’omu gwe twasobya. Tewali n’omu gwe twakyamya. Tewali n’omu gwe twali tulyazaamaanyizza.
Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
3 Bino sibyogera ng’abasalira omusango, kubanga nabategeeza dda nti, Mulina ekifo mu mitima gyaffe, nga tubeera balamu ffenna era nga tufiira wamu nammwe.
I speak not [this] to condemn [you]: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with [you].
4 Mbeesiga nnyo, era mbeenyumiririzamu nnyo; muŋŋumizza nnyo omwoyo ne mundeetera essanyu lingi wakati mu kubonaabona kwange.
Great [is] my boldness of speech toward you, great [is] my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
5 Bwe twatuuka mu Makedoniya tetwasobola kuwummulako, nga twetooloddwa ebibonoobono ebya buli ngeri, ebweru nga waliyo entalo ate munda mu ffe nga tutidde.
For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without [were] fightings, within [were] fears.
6 Naye Katonda agumya abo ababa batendewereddwa, n’atuzzaamu amaanyi olw’okutuuka kwa Tito.
Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
7 Okujja kwe si kwe kwokka okwatuleetera essanyu, naye n’amawulire agafa gye muli, ge yatuleetera n’engeri ennungi gye mwamwanirizaamu, ne bwe yantegeeza nga bwe mwali mwesunga okujja kwange, n’ennaku gye mwalina bwe mwategeera nga sikyazze, n’obunyiikivu bwammwe, ebyo ne binnyongera essanyu!
And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
8 Kuba bwe kiba nga ddala ebbaluwa gye nnabawandiikira yabanakuwaza, sikyejjusa; wabula ddala nkyejjusa, kubanga ebbaluwa eyo yabanakuwazaamu ekiseera kitono.
For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though [it were] but for a season.
9 Kaakano nnina essanyu, si lwa kubanga yabanakuwaza, naye lwa kubanga mwanakuwalira ekibi ne mwenenya, ne Katonda n’alaba okunakuwala kwammwe muleme okufiirwa ekigambo kyonna ku lwaffe.
Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
10 Kubanga okunakuwala okw’okwenenya eri Katonda kuleeta obulokozi, era tekuleeta kwejjusa; naye okunakuwala okw’ensi kuleeta kufa.
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
11 Kubanga laba okunakuwala okwo Katonda kw’asiima kwabaleetera okwewala bino: okufuba ennyo, n’okwennyonnyolako, n’okusunguwala, n’okutya, n’okwegomba, n’okufuba ennyo okwenenya, n’okuwalana eggwanga. Mwakola kyonna kye musobola okulongoosa ekyasoba.
For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, [what] clearing of yourselves, yea, [what] indignation, yea, [what] fear, yea, [what] vehement desire, yea, [what] zeal, yea, [what] revenge! In all [things] ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
12 Kale newaakubadde nga nabawandiikira ssawandiika ku lw’oyo eyakola ekibi, newaakubadde oyo gwe bakikola, wabula lwa kunyiikira kwammwe eri Katonda ku lwaffe.
Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, [I did it] not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
13 Noolwekyo ebyo byatuzzaamu endasi. Bwe twaddamu endasi, tweyongera nnyo okusanyuka olw’essanyu lya Tito, kubanga omwoyo gwe gwawummuzibwa mmwe mwenna.
Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
14 Obanga nnenyumiriza mu kigambo kyonna ku lwammwe, temwanswaza, naye byonna nga bwe twabibategeeza bwe biri eby’amazima, era n’okwenyumiriza kwaffe ku Tito nakwo ne kuba kwa mazima.
For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which [I made] before Titus, is found a truth.
15 N’okwagala kw’alina kweyongera nnyo gye muli ng’ajjukira okugonda kwammwe mwenna, nga bwe mwamusembeza n’okutya n’okumussaamu ekitiibwa.
And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
16 Bino byonna bindeetera essanyu lingi, era mbesigira ddala.
I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all [things.]
