< 2 Wakorintu 1 >
1 Neni Paulu, ntumintumi gwa Yesu Kristu kwa mafiliru ga Mlungu pamuhera na mlongu gwetu Timotewu twankuwalamusiyani. Tuwalembelerani mwenga shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu aku Korintu, na kwa wantu woseri wa Mlungu kila pahala Muakaya.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
2 Manemu na ponga zazilawa kwa Mlungu Tati gwetu na Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu gaweri pamuhera na mwenga.
Grace [be] to you and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Kakwiswi Mlungu Tati gwa Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu, Tati yakawera na lusungu na Mlungu yakawakola mawoku muvitwatira vyoseri.
Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4 Yomberi katukola mawoku muntabika zoseri, su tupati kuwatanga wamonga mukila ntabika, gambira Mlungu ntambu yakatukola mawoku twenga.
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5 Yina, ntambu ya ntabika ya Kristu yayiyongereka mngati mwetu na twenga viraa vilii twongereka kukolwa mawoku na Kristu.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
6 Handa patutabika, twankutabika su mwenga mutangwi na kulopoziwa. Patukolwa mawoku, viraa vilii na mwenga mkolwa mawoku na kuwapanana makakala ga kuhepelera ntabika zilaa azi zyatuhepelera.
And whether we be 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 be comforted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation.
7 Su matumbiru gatuwera naga kwa mwenga ndo makulu nentu, toziya tuvimana kuwera nakaka pamtabika pamuhera natwenga, viraa vilii mwankukolwa mawoku gambira twenga ntambu yatukolwa mawoku.
And our hope of you [is] stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so [shall ye be] also of the consolation.
8 Walongu, tufira tuwaholuziyani ntabika zyazitupatiti Asiya kulii. Ntabika azi ziweriti nkulu kuliku makakala ga twenga, ata tuweriti ndiri na litumbiru lyoseri lya kulikala.
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, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
9 Kumbiti mumioyu ya twenga iweriti handa tutozwitwi kulagwa, su tufundwi kuwera natulitumbira twaweni, kumbiti tumtumbiri Mlungu yakawazyukisiya yawahowiti.
But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
10 Yomberi katulopoziyiti mukuhowa gambira atali, nayomberi hakatulopoziyi, na twenga tumtumbira yomberi kuwera hakatulopoziyi kayi.
Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver [us];
11 Mwenga mwankututanga kwa kutuluwira kwa Mlungu. Su kuluwa kwa mwenga kwa Mlungu, hakujimilwi, na Mlungu hakatutekeleri na wantu wavuwa hawalongi mayagashii Mlungu toziya ya twenga.
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 Twenga tulitumbira shintu shimu hera, nfiru yatwenga itulanguziya nakaka kuwera kulikala kwa twenga pasipanu na nentu kulikolerana pamuhera na mwenga, tulikaliti kwa unanagala na uherepa wa moyu gwakatupananiti Mlungu, tulonguziwiti ndiri na luhala lwa wantu, kumbiti manemu ga Mlungu.
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 conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
13 Twankuwalembirani mwenga vitwatira vyamuviweza kuvibetula na kuvimana. Nakulitumbira kuwera hamgamani hweri,
For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
14 toziya mpaka vinu mmana katepu hera. Tuvimana kuwera shakapanu hamuvimani na hamututumbiri twenga gambira twenga ntambu yatulitumbira mulishaka lya Mtuwa gwetu Yesu.
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 Neni pawera na matumbiru aga, nfiriti kuwatyangira mwenga kwanja su mwenga hamtekelerwi mala mbili.
And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
16 Nfiriti kuwatyangira mwenga pampiti kugenda Makedoniya na pambuya kwa mwenga kulawa mumkowa gwa Makedoniya, su muntangi mumwanja gwangu gwa kugenda Yudeya.
And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.
17 Hashi, mulihola pampangiti hangu neni nwera gambira muntu yakahera na ugolokeru? Hashi, mulihola kuwera neni amuwa kwa maholu ga untu na kuwera ntakula “Yina, yina” Na “Ndala, ndala” Palaa panu?
When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? 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 Mlungu ndo mwaminika, su shilii shatuwagambiriti mwenga, shitwatira ndiri sha “Yina” Na “Ndala” Palaa panu.
But [as] God [is] true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
19 Toziya Yesu Kristu, Mwana gwa Mlungu, ndomweni neni na Silwanu na Timotewu tumubweriti kwa mwenga, kaweriti ndiri muntu gwa “Yina” Na “Ndala,” Kumbiti yomberi kwakuwi kwana “Yina” Ya Mlungu mashaka goseri.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, [even] by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
20 Toziya malagilu goseri ga Mlungu gawera “Yina” Mukristu. Su kupitira mweni “Yina haa” yankulonga kwatwenga kwa ukwisa wa Mlungu.
For all the promises of God in him [are] yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
21 Mlungu mweni yakatenda twenga pamuhera na mwenga mumakaliru getu tukolerani pamuhera na Kristu, Mlungu mweni yakatusyaguliti,
Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, [is] God;
22 yomberi yakatumatikiti shilangaziwu kulanguziya kuwera twenga twawantu wakuwi na kutupanana twenga Rohu Mnanagala mumioyu ya twenga kaweri lilangaliru lyalitulitwi kwajili ya twenga.
Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Mlungu ndo kapitawu gwangu, yomberi kagumana moyu gwa neni. Neni niziti ndiri kayi Korintu kuwatenda muweri na utama.
Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
24 Tufira ndiri kuwalonguziya kwa makakala munjimiru yenu, mwenga mgangamala munjimiru yenu. Twenga tutenda lihengu pamuhera kwa nemeleru ya mwenga.
Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
