< 2 Kwabasekhorinte 1 >
1 UPawuli umphostoli kaJesu Kristu ngentando kaNkulunkulu, loTimothi umzalwane, kubandla likaNkulunkulu eliseKorinte, labo bonke abangcwele abakuyo yonke iAkaya:
Ko au Paula, ko e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ʻi he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, pea mo Timote ko hotau kāinga, ki he siasi ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi Kolinitō, fakataha mo e kāinga māʻoniʻoni fulipē ʻoku ʻi ʻAkeia kotoa pē:
2 Umusa kawube kini lokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba wethu lakuyo iNkosi uJesu Kristu.
Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻofa mo e melino mei he ʻOtua ko ʻetau Tamai, pea mei he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
3 Kabongwe uNkulunkulu, ngitsho uYise weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, uYise wobubele loNkulunkulu wenduduzo yonke,
Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, mo e Tamai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ko e Tamai ʻae ngaahi ʻaloʻofa, mo e ʻOtua ʻoe fiemālie kotoa pē;
4 osiduduza ekuhluphekeni kwethu konke, ukuze sibe lamandla okududuza abasekuhluphekeni loba yikuphi, ngenduduzo esiduduzwa ngayo thina ngokwethu nguNkulunkulu;
ʻAia ʻoku ne fakafiemālieʻi ʻakimautolu ʻi heʻemau mamahi kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke mau faʻa fai ai ke fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku mamahiʻia, ʻaki ʻae fakafiemālie ko ia ʻaia ʻoku fakafiemālieʻi ʻaki ʻakimautolu ʻe he ʻOtua.
5 ngoba njengalokhu inhlupheko zikaKristu zengezelelekile kithi, ngokunjalo lenduduzo yethu yengezelelekile ngoKristu.
He ʻoku hangē ʻae tupulekina ʻoe ngaahi mamahi ʻa Kalaisi ʻiate kimautolu, ʻoku pehē, ʻoku tupulekina foki ʻemau fiemālie ʻia Kalaisi.
6 Njalo loba sihlutshwa, kungokwenduduzo losindiso lwenu, okusetshenzwa ekubekezeleni kulezizinhlupheko ezifananayo esihlupheka ngazo lathi; loba siduduzwa, kungokwenduduzo losindiso lwenu;
Pea kapau ʻoku mau mamahi, ko e meʻa ia ki hoʻomou fiemālie mo e fakamoʻui, ʻaia ʻoku ngāue lelei ke mou faʻa kātaki ʻae ngaahi mamahi ko ia ʻoku mau kātaki foki: pea kapau kuo fakafiemālieʻi ʻakimautolu, ko hoʻomou fakafiemālie ia mo e fakamoʻui.
7 njalo ithemba lethu ngani liqinile, sisazi ukuthi njengalokhu lihlanganyela ezinhluphekweni ngokunjalo lenduduzweni.
Pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu pe ʻemau ʻamanaki lelei kiate kimoutolu, ko ʻemau ʻilo, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou kau ʻi he ngaahi mamahi, te mou kau foki ʻi he fiemālie.
8 Ngoba kasithandi ukuthi lingazi, bazalwane, ngokuhlupheka kwethu okwasehlela eAsiya, ukuthi sasindwa kakhulukazi ngokungaphezu kwamandla, saze saphelelwa lithemba lelempilo.
He ʻoku ʻikai ko homau loto ke mou taʻeʻilo, ʻe kāinga, ki heʻemau ngaahi mamahi naʻe hoko kiate kimautolu ʻi ʻEsia, koeʻuhi naʻe taʻomia lahi hake ʻaupito ia ʻi heʻemau mālohi, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te mau ʻamanaki ki he moʻui:
9 Kodwa thina ngokwethu sasilaso kithi isigwebo sokufa, ukuze singazithembi thina kodwa kuNkulunkulu ovusa abafileyo;
Ka naʻa mau ongoʻi kuo tukupau ʻakimautolu ki he mate, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mau falala kiate kimautolu, ka ki he ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ne fokotuʻu hake ʻae mate:
10 owasophula ekufeni okungaka, losophulayo; esithemba kuye ukuthi uzasophula futhi.
ʻAia naʻa ne fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei he mate lahi ko ia, pea ʻoku ne kei fakamoʻui: pea ʻoku mau falala te ne kei fakamoʻui pe;
11 Lani lisebenzela thina ndawonye ngomkhuleko, ukuze isipho somusa kithi esivela ebantwini abanengi singasibongelwa ngabanengi.
ʻI he tokoni fakataha ʻakimoutolu foki ʻi he lotua ʻakimautolu, koeʻuhi ko e foaki [kuo tuku ]kiate kimautolu ʻi he kau ʻae tokolahi, ʻe ʻatu ai ʻae fakafetaʻi ʻe he tokolahi koeʻuhi ko kimautolu.
12 Ngoba ukuzincoma kwethu yilokhu, ubufakazi besazela sethu, ukuthi ngokungelankohliso langobuqotho bukaNkulunkulu, kungeyisikho ngenhlakanipho yenyama kodwa emuseni kaNkulunkulu, saziphatha emhlabeni, njalo ngokukhethekileyo maqondana lani.
He ko ʻemau fiefiaʻanga eni, ko e fakamoʻoni ʻo homau loto, koeʻuhi ʻi he loto taha, mo e moʻoni fakaʻotua, kae ʻikai ʻi he poto fakakakano, kae ʻi he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, kuo mau fai homau lakanga ʻi he māmani, kae lahi taha pe kiate kimoutolu.
13 Ngoba kasilibhaleli okunye, kodwa loba izinto elizifundayo kumbe njalo lizivume; ngithemba futhi ukuthi lizazivuma kuze kube sekupheleni;
He ʻoku ʻikai te mau tohi ha meʻa kehe kiate kimoutolu, ka ko ia pe ʻoku mou ʻilo mo tui ki ai; pea ʻoku ou ʻamanaki ke mou tui ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga;
14 njengalokhu lathi selisivumile nganxanye, ukuthi siyikuzincoma kwenu njengalokhu lani lingabethu, osukwini lweNkosi uJesu.
ʻO hangē ko e ʻilo ʻakimautolu foki ʻe homou niʻihi, ko homou fiefiaʻanga ʻakimautolu, ʻio, ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻamautolu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu.
15 Langalelithemba ngafisa ukuza kini kuqala, ukuze libe lomusa wesibili;
Pea ʻi he tui ni naʻaku loto ke ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi muʻa, koeʻuhi ke mou maʻu hono ua ʻoe meʻaʻofa;
16 njalo ukudlula kini ngisiya eMakedoniya, ngibuye kini futhi ngivela eMakedoniya, njalo ngidluliselwe yini eJudiya.
Pea ke u ʻalu atu ʻiate kimoutolu ki Masitōnia, pea ke u toe haʻu mei Masitōnia kiate kimoutolu, pea ke ʻiate kimoutolu ke moimoiʻi au ʻi hoku fononga ki Siutea.
17 Ngakho ngiqonde lokho, besengisebenzisa yini ubulula? Kumbe izinto engizimisayo, ngimisa ngokwenyama yini, ukuze kube khona kimi uyebo, yebo; lohatshi, hatshi?
Pea ʻi heʻeku loto ki ai, naʻaku vaʻivaʻinga ʻaki? Pe ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ou tuʻutuʻuni, ʻoku ou tuʻutuʻuni ʻo fakatatau ki he kakano, koeʻuhi ke ʻiate au ʻae “ʻIo ʻio,” mo “ʻIkai ʻikai?”
18 Kodwa uNkulunkulu uthembekile, ukuthi ilizwi lethu elikini kalisuye uyebo lohatshi.
Ka ʻoku moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua, ko ʻemau lea atu kiate kimoutolu naʻe ʻikai ko e “ʻIo” mo “ʻIkai.”
19 Ngoba iNdodana kaNkulunkulu uJesu Kristu owatshunyayelwa yithi phakathi kwenu, yimi loSilivanu loTimothi, wayengeyisuye uyebo lohatshi, kodwa kuye kwakunguyebo.
He ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia naʻe malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻekimautolu, [ʻio], ʻe au mo Silivenusi mo Timote, naʻe ʻikai ko e “ʻIo” mo “ʻIkai,” ka naʻe “ʻIo” pe ʻiate ia.
20 Ngoba zonke izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu, kuye zinguyebo, lakuye zinguAmeni, kube ludumo lukaNkulunkulu ngathi.
He ko e ngaahi talaʻofa kotoa pē ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku “ʻIo” pe ʻiate ia, pea “ʻEmeni” ʻiate ia, ki he ongoongolelei ʻoe ʻOtua ʻiate kimautolu.
21 Njalo osiqinisayo kanye lani kuKristu, owasigcobayo, nguNkulunkulu,
Pea ko e ʻOtua ia, ʻaia ʻoku ne fakatuʻumaʻu ʻakimautolu fakataha mo kimoutolu ʻia Kalaisi, pea ko ia ia ne ne pani ʻakitautolu;
22 owasiphawulayo lathi, wasenika isibambiso sikaMoya enhliziyweni zethu.
ʻAia kuo ne fakaʻilonga foki ʻakitautolu, ʻo ne foaki mai ʻae fakamoʻoni, ko e Laumālie ʻi hotau loto.
23 Kodwa mina ngibiza uNkulunkulu ukuthi abe ngumfakazi phezu komphefumulo wami, ukuze ngiliyekele angikezi eKorinte.
Ka ʻoku ou ui ki he ʻOtua ke ne fakamoʻoni ki hoku laumālie, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻofa kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku teʻeki te u ʻalu atu ai ki Kolinitō.
24 Kungesikuthi sibusa ukholo lwenu, kodwa siyizisebenzi ndawonye zentokozo yenu; ngoba limi ngokholo.
Ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e meʻa ke mau puleʻi hoʻomou tui, ka ko e kau tokoni ki hoʻomou fiefia: he ʻoku mou tuʻu ʻi he tui.
