2 Bhakolinto 1
1 Ajino bhaluwa jino kujikopoka kwangu nne, a Pauli ntume jwa a Yeshu a Kilishitu na apwanga a Timoteo, kwa engwa kwabho a Nnungu. Ngunakunjandishilanga mmanganya mmandunji bha a Nnungu nninginji ku Kolinto na bhandu bhowe bha ukonjelo mmbali yowe ya ku Akaya.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:
2 Nema na ulele kopoka kwa a Nnungu ainabhetu na Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu ibhe na mmanganya.
Grace [be] to you and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Bhakuywe a Nnungu ainabhabho Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu, Atati bhakwete shiya na a Nnungu bhakutupa kuangalala.
Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all consolation.
4 A Nnungu bhakutuangalaya nkulaga mwetu, nkupinga na uwe twaangalayanje bhananji nkulaga kwabhonji kwa nng'angalo gogo gutuposhela kopoka kwa bhenebho.
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any trouble by the consolation with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5 Elo, malinga shitupunda kupata mboteko nkwaakamulila liengo a Kilishitu, a Nnungu shibhapunda kutuangalaya kupitila a Kilishitu.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
6 Ibhaga tunalaga, ni kwa ligongo lya nng'angalo na ntapulo gwenunji. Putuangalala nkupinga kunng'angalayanga mmanganyanji na kuntaganga ntima kwa mboteko yenunji, mwiipilililanje malinga uwe.
And whether we are afflicted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we are comforted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation.
7 Na ngulupai itukwete kwa ligongo lyenunji ishimilishe, pabha tumumanyi kuti nnalaganga malinga uwe, nneyo peyo shinng'angalalanje malinga uwe.
And our hope of you [is] steadfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so [shall ye be] also of the consolation.
8 Ashaalongo, tunapinga kummalanjilanga shitushite laga ku nkowa gwa ku Ashia kula, shilajesho shashinkututopela kwa kaje mpaka gutuwile mitima kuti tukalama.
For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life:
9 Elo, mmitima jetu putwaliji mbuti bhandu bhaukumwilwenje kubhulagwa, nkupinga tunaikulupalile twaashayene, ikabhe twaakulupalile a Nnungu bhakwaayuyanga bhandu bhawilenje.
But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead:
10 Bhenebho bhatutapwile nshilaje shikulungwa shapingaga kutubhulaga shila, na bhanapunda kututapula. Tunakwakulupalila kuti shibhatutapule kabhili.
Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver [us]:
11 Mmanganya nnakutujangutilanga kwa kutujujila. Nkupinga bhandu bhabhagwinji bhatendanje eja kwa a Nnungu ga ligongo lya mboka itupata kwa jujilwa na bhandu bhabhagwinji.
Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift [bestowed] upon us by the means of many persons, thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
12 Shitukwiiniya shindu shimo, mitima jetu jinakutukong'ondelala kuti tunatama pa shilambolyo pano na kajekaje munkumbi gwenunji, kwa kwiitimalika kutupegwilwe na a Nnungu. Twangalongoywa na lunda lwetu ikabhe kwa nema ja a Nnungu.
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our manner of life in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
13 Tunakunjandishilanga indu ishinkombolanje shoma na kwiimanya. Ngunakulupalila kuti shimwimanyanje ukoto,
For we write no other things to you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye will acknowledge even to the end;
14 pabha nnaino mmumanyinji kashoko. Bhai, tumumanyi kuti lyubha lya kwiya a Yeshu shumwiiniyanje kwa ligongo lyetu malinga shitukwiiniya uwe kwa ligongo lyenunji.
As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also [are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 Ngulikulupalila kumanya na kulupalila kwenunji, gundumbilile ndandubhe kuika kunngwenunji nkupinga mpwaikanje pabhili.
And in this confidence I purposed to come to you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
16 Natumbilile mbitile kungwenunji gwa kwenda na gwa nkubhuja kunkoa gwa Makedonia, nkupinga nnyangutilanje ga mwanja gwangu gwa kwenda ku Yudea.
And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again from Macedonia to you, and by you to be brought on my way towards Judea.
17 Bhuli, punkuganishiyanga kuti naliji mundu jwa pindikukapindikuka? Eu, punkuganishiyanga njitumbilila kwa lunda lwangupe? Kuti ngunabheleketa “Elo” na “Nngabha” gwanakamo?
When I therefore was thus minded, did I use levity? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea, yea, and nay, nay?
18 A Nnungu bha kweli jika, bhai, shitummalanjilenje shila nngabha shindu sha “Elo” na “Nngabha”
But [as] God [is] true, our word towards you was not yea and nay.
19 Pabha a Kilishitu bhanabhabho a Nnungu, bhutunnungushiyenje nne na a Shilibhanushi na a Timoteo, bhakaliji bha “Elo” na “Nngabha.” Ikabhe mobha gowe bhenebho ni “Elo” ja a Nnungu.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, [even] by me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
20 Pabha malagano gowe ga a Nnungu gali mwa a Kilishitu ni ga “Elo” kwa lyene ligongolyo, “Amina” jetu pujilugulwa kwa lina lya a Yeshu nkwaakuya a Nnungu.
For all the promises of God in him [are] yea, and in him Amen, to the glory of God by us.
21 Bhai a Nnungu bhayene bhanakutushimilika uwe pamo na mmanganya nkulundana na a Kilishitu. Na kutuagula,
Now he who establisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, [is] God;
22 bhenebho gubhatupele Mbumu jwabho mmitima jetu abhe lulembo kuti uwe tubhabho na abhe ngamulo ja indu yowe ibhatubhishile.
Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the spirit in our hearts.
23 A Nnungu ni bhakong'ondela bhangu ngaabheleketa unami, gundumbilile ngunaishe kabhili ku Kolinto ngunakummulayanga kuinjika kwa malobhe ga kalipa.
Moreover, I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I have not as yet come to Corinth.
24 Tukaapinga kunshishilishiyanga ga indu inkukulupalilanga, pabha mwiishimilikenje nngulupai jenunji. Ikabhe uwe tubhaajangutila bha angalala kwenunji.
Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
