2 Vakolinto 1

1 Nene Pauli, mtumi wa Kilisitu Yesu kwa kugana kwa Chapanga, pamonga na mlongo witu Timoti. Nikuvayandikila nyenye vandu mwemkumsadika Kilisitu kwenuko ku Kolinto, na vandu voha vma Chapanga vevavi kila pandu pamulima wa Akaya.

Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and brother Timothy, to the church of God that is in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:

2 Tikuvaganila uteke na ubwina kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu na BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.

3 Chapanga alumbiwa wa BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu, Dadi mweavi na lipyana na Chapanga mweipolesa mitima.

All praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and God of all encouragement,

4 Chapanga akutipolesa mitima mang'ahiso gitu goha muni na tete tivapolesa mitima vangi vevana mu mang'ahiso ndalindali, kwa kupoleswa mitima wula wetiupokili kuhuma kwa mwene.

who encourages us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to encourage those who are in whatever affliction, by means of the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged by God.

5 Na chating'aika kupata mang'ahiso ndava ya kumhengela Kilisitu mewawa ndi chetipoleswa neju mitima na Kilisitu.

Because just as the sufferings of the Christ flow over into us, so also our encouraging overflows, through Christ.

6 Ngati tinga'hika, ndi ndava kupoleswa mitima kwinu na kusanguliwa kwinu. Tikapoleswa mitima ndi mewa na nyenye pamupoleswa mitima na kupewa makakala ga kukangamala mang'ahiso galagala.

Now then, if we are afflicted, it is for the sake of your encouragement and deliverance, that are effective for enduring the same sufferings that we also are suffering

7 Kangi, huvalila yitu ndava yinu gasindimili, timanyili kuvya mwakahanganilayi mumanga'iso gitu, mewawa na nyenye yati mwihanganila kupoleswa mitima kwitu.

(yes, our hope concerning you is steadfast); if we are encouraged, it also is for the sake of your encouragement and deliverance, since we know that you will share in the encouragement just as you do in the sufferings.

8 Valongo, tigana lepi nyenye mkoto kumanya mang'ahiso gegatikolili ku Asia, mang'ahiso genago gatopili neju, kupita uhotola witu wa kukangamala hati huvalila yoha ya kutama yatimaliki.

And so, brothers, we do not want you to be in ignorance concerning the affliction that came upon us in Asia: we were under extreme pressure, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.

9 Chakaka tete mumitima yitu tajiwene ngati vandu vevahukumiwi kukomewa, muni tiwuliwayi kumhuvalila Chapanga mweakuvayukisa vevafwili, pahala pa kuhuvalila makakala gitu tavete.

Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, so that we not place confidence in ourselves, but in the God who raises the dead;

10 Mwene atisangwili mung'aiso gavaha gala gegaganili kutikoma, na iyendelela kutisangula, tete timvikili huvalila yitu kuvya yati akutisangula kavili.

He did deliver us from that deadly peril, and still delivers; in whom we trust that He will keep on delivering,

11 Na mwavene mukutitangatila kwa kutiyupila kwa Chapanga. Kutiyupila kwinu yati muyanguliwa, na Chapanga yati akutimotisa ndi vandu vamahele yati vakumsengusa Chapanga ndava yitu.

you also adding your cooperation in prayer, on our behalf; that thanks may be given by many persons for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, on your behalf.

12 Tete timekela chindu chimonga, mtima witu ukutijovela muuchakaka kuvya titamili pamulima apa na neju pagati yinu, mumtima wa usopi na mukusadikika kwekwihuma kwa Chapanga. Tihengili genago lepi kwa luhala lwa chimundu, nambu kuhuma kuubwina wa Chapanga.

Now this is our boast: the testimony of our conscience that we have conducted ourselves in the world with openness and godly sincerity, not by fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and especially toward you.

13 Tikuvayandikila nyenye mambu gamwihotola kugasoma na kugamanya. Mtima wangu wisadika kuvya yati mwimanya hotohoto,

For we do not write you any other things than what you can read and understand; and I do hope that you will keep on understanding to the end

14 muni mbaka hinu mwimanya padebe. Kangi timanya kuvya mwimanya hotohoto kuvya mu ligono la kuwuya BAMBU witu Yesu yati mwimeka ndava yitu ngati tete yati chetimekela ndava yinu.

(as indeed some of you have acknowledged) that we are your boast, just as you are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

15 Navi na uchakaka mulijambu lenilo, ndi napangili kuvagendelela nyenye kumbele, muni mpata mota mala zivili kwa kunilola nene mala zivili.

It was in this confidence that I was planning to come by you first,

16 Navi na mpangu kuvedukila kwinu mulugendu lwa kuhamba mulima wa Makedonia na mewa palukumbi lwa kuwuya, muni nipatayi utangatila winu mulugendu lwangu lwa kuhamba ku Yudea.

and by you to proceed into Macedonia, and to come back to you from Macedonia (that you might benefit twice), and then to be sent by you on my way to Judea.

17 Muhololela wuli? Panapangili genago nivii ngati namundu nangali luhala. Wu, muholalela kuvya penipanga mambu gangu nikita ngati vandu va mulima uwu “Veviyidakila goha na kubela goha palukumbi lumonga?”

Now then, when I was deciding this, I was not acting frivolously, was I? Or the things I decide, do I decide according to the flesh, so that with me there would be both “Yes, yes” and “No, no”?

18 Nambu Chapanga ndi mchakaka hotohoto, ujumbi witu kwinu lepi lijambu la kujova “Ena” Na bahapo “Lepi.”

As God is faithful, our word to you was not “Yes” and “No”,

19 Muni Yesu Kilisitu, Mwana wa Chapanga, mweakokosiliwi kwinu nyenye na Sila na Timoti, na nene Siliwano, avili lepi mundu wa “Ena” Na kubela “Lepi” Mulukumbi lumonga nambu magono goha ndi Ena ya Chapanga.

because the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by us—by me and Silvanus and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No”. In fact, with Him it has always been “Yes”,

20 Muni mwene ndi mweitimalisa malaganu goha ga Chapanga. Mewawa mu njila ya Yesu Kilisitu tijova “Ena” Ndava ya kumulumba Chapanga.

because all the promises of God in Him are “Yes”; indeed, in Him they are “Amen”, that there be glory to God through us.

21 Chapanga ndi mweatihagwili na mweatikangamalisa tete pamonga na nyenye mukuwungana na Kilisitu,

Now He who establishes us together with you into Christ, and who anointed us, is God,

22 Atipeli Mpungu Msopi mumitima yitu muni alangisa tete ndi tavandu va Chapanga na avyai ulangisu wa kulangisa kuvya chakaka.

who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

23 Chapanga ndi mshuudila wangu, mwene aumanyili mtima wangu! Nawuyili lepi kavili Kolinto, ndava nikotoka kuvavinisa mitima mukuvajovela malovi gakali.

For my part, I call on God as witness, upon my soul, that it was to spare you that I have not yet returned to Corinth.

24 Tihenela lepi makakala ndava ya sadika yinu, nyenye msindimili mukusadika kwinu. Getiganikiwa kuhenga lihengu pamonga ndava ya sangaluka yinu.

(Not that we have control over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, for it is by faith that you stand firm.)
