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, my beloved, these promises, let us purify ourselves from all defilement of 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 injured no man, we have corrupted no one, we have over-reached no one.
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 said before that ye are so much in our hearts that we could live and die with you.
4 Mbeesiga nnyo, era mbeenyumiririzamu nnyo; muŋŋumizza nnyo omwoyo ne mundeetera essanyu lingi wakati mu kubonaabona kwange.
I use much freedom of speech to you, and I boast much of you: I am filled with comfort, and superabound in joy above all our affliction.
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 came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
6 Naye Katonda agumya abo ababa batendewereddwa, n’atuzzaamu amaanyi olw’okutuuka kwa Tito.
But God, who comforteth those that are brought low, 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 only by his coming, but especially by the consolation wherewith he was comforted on your account, acquainting us with your earnest desire towards us, your grief, and your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced greatly.
8 Kuba bwe kiba nga ddala ebbaluwa gye nnabawandiikira yabanakuwaza, sikyejjusa; wabula ddala nkyejjusa, kubanga ebbaluwa eyo yabanakuwazaamu ekiseera kitono.
For though I grieved you by my letter, I do not repent, though I did repent; for I perceive that that epistle grieved you, though it was but for a little while.
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.
However, now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance; for ye were grieved after a godly manner, so that ye received no damage from us.
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 very thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly manner, what diligence it wrought in you! yea, what apology, what indignation, what fear, what earnest desire, what zeal, what revenge! by all which ye have shewn yourselves to be clear in the affair.
12 Kale newaakubadde nga nabawandiikira ssawandiika ku lw’oyo eyakola ekibi, newaakubadde oyo gwe bakikola, wabula lwa kunyiikira kwammwe eri Katonda ku lwaffe.
Wherefore if I wrote in such a manner to you, it was not merely on his account who had done the wrong, nor for his sake who had been injured; but that our care for you in the sight of God might be manifested among you.
13 Noolwekyo ebyo byatuzzaamu endasi. Bwe twaddamu endasi, tweyongera nnyo okusanyuka olw’essanyu lya Tito, kubanga omwoyo gwe gwawummuzibwa mmwe mwenna.
We were therefore comforted by your consolation; and rejoiced the more at 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.
and because if I boasted of any thing to him concerning you, I was not ashamed; but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so likewise our boasting of you to Titus was 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 bowels are exceedingly moved towards you, when he calls to mind 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 in every thing I have confidence in you.
