2 Bhakolinto 7
1 Bhai, ashaambwiga ajangunji, ibhaga tupegwilwe jene miadi joweji, twiitakaye na yowe inyatiya shiilu na mbumu, tubhe na ukonjelo na tutame kwa kwaishimiya a Nnungu.
Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God;
2 Tunakunnjuganga ntuposhelanje mmitima jenunji! Tukanabhe kunnebhela mundu jojowe, wala tukanabhe kumpokonyola mundu wala kumpuganya mundu jojowe.
receive us; no one did we wrong; no one did we ruin; no one did we defraud;
3 Ngaabheleketa gegano nkupinga ninng'ukumulanje mmanganya. Malinga shinjite bheleketa, mmanganya munninginji mmitima jetu, nkali kwa wa eu kwa lama pamo na mmanganya.
I do not say [it] to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and to live together;
4 Ngunakunkulupalilanga mmanganya, nshilaje shetu nnandaganga ntima na nnang'angalayaga kwa kaje.
great [is] my freedom of speech to you, great my glory on your behalf; I have been filled with the comfort, I hyper-abound with the joy on all our tribulation,
5 Nkali tukaisheje ku Makedonia twangapumulila. Ikabhe twashinkulaga mmbali yowe, palanga mipwai na mmitima lipamba.
for we also, having come to Macedonia, our flesh has had no relaxation, but on every side we are in tribulation: fightings outside, fears within;
6 Ikabheje a Nnungu, bhakwaataganga ntima bhawilenje ntima, bhashinkututaga ntima kwa kwiya kwabho a Tito.
but He who is comforting the cast-down—God—He comforted us in the coming of Titus;
7 Nngabha kwa ika kwabhope a Tito, ikabheje shinshite kwaataganga ntima. Bhatubhalanjile shinkuti lokolilanga kumona, na shinshite injikanga na shinkutumbililanga kunyanguta. Lyenelyo linandenda ng'angalale kaje.
and not only in his coming, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more,
8 Bhai, ibhaga mwainjikenje ga bhaluwa jangu, ngakwigamba. Nkali nneyo naigambile kashoko pabha namumanyi kuti mwashinkuinjikanga kashoko ga bhaluwa jila.
because even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not regret—if even I regretted—for I perceive that the letter, even if for an hour, made you sorry.
9 Ikabheje nnaino ngunakwinonyela, nngabha pabha nshiinjikanga, ikabhe mwashinkuinjikanga mpaka nikwiipeta. Pabha mwashinkuinjikanga malinga shibhapinjile a Nnungu na kwa lyene ligongolyo twangampotekanga kwa shoshowe.
I now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to conversion, for you were made sorry toward God, that you might receive damage from us in nothing;
10 Pabha kuinjika kubhaapinga a Nnungu kunakuntendebhuya mundu ntima nikumpa ntapulo, kwa nneyo lyakwa ligongo lya kwiigamba. Ikabheje kuinjika malinga kwa bhandunji bha pa shilambolyo, kunabhulaga.
for sorrow toward God works conversion to salvation without regret, and the sorrow of the world works death,
11 Nnolanje shikoposhele nkuinjika kwenunji malinga shibhapinjile a Nnungu, nshibhanganga bhandu bha tumbila, na kulanguya kuti mwangalebhanga, na bha kunda. Nnaimukanga, na kupotekwa mitima, na nnalokolilanga kumona, na nnapingana, na nnapinganga kuukumula kwa aki. Kwa gene gowego nnangwiyenje kuti shakwa shinnebhilenje.
for behold, this same thing—your being made sorry toward God—how much diligence it works in you! But defense, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in everything you approved yourselves to be pure in the matter.
12 Bhai, ibhaga najandishe, nngabha kwa ligongo lika jwene alebhilejo eu alebhelwejo. Ikabhe nashinkutumbilila jandika imanyishe kwa a Nnungu shinkuti kwiishoyanga kwa ligongo lyetu uwe.
If, then, I also wrote to you—not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who suffered wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being revealed to you before God—
13 Kwa gene gowega tushitagwa ntima. Kupunda kutagwa ntima kwetu, twashinkuangalala kwa ligongo lya angalala kwa a Tito kwa shimwashite kwaangalayanga ntima mmowenji.
because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more we rejoiced in the joy of Titus, that his spirit has been refreshed from you all;
14 Nne njikunnumbililanga kubhenebho, kwa lyenelyo mwangandokomayanga. Tushikunnugulilanga kweli mobha gowe na kwene kunnumbililanga kwa ligongo lya a Tito ishibha ya kweli jika.
because if I have boasted anything to him in your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spoke to you all things in truth, so also our boasting before Titus became truth,
15 Kumpinganga kwabho kunapunda pubhakumbushila kukunda kwenunji mmowe shimwashite kwaaposhelanga kwa ishima ja kaje.
and his yearnings are more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling;
16 Ngunakwinonyela pabha inatendeka kunkulupalilanga mmanganya kwa indu yowe.
I rejoice, therefore, that in everything I have courage in you.
