2 Wakorintu 2

1 Su nfiriti kuwera hapeni nuwatyangili kayi kuwatenda muhinginiki.

But, so far as I am concerned, I have resolved not to have a painful visit the next time I come to see you.

2 Handa panuwahinginiziya mwenga, gaa hakanemeziyi? Ndo wala walii yanuwahinginiziyiti!

For if I of all men give you pain, who then is there to gladden my heart, but the very persons to whom I give pain?

3 Toziya nuwalembiriti luhamba alu su paniza nfira ndiri kuhinginiziwa na walii yawafira kunemelera. Nakaka nuvimana neni panemelera, viraa vilii na mwenga hamnemeleri.

And I write this to you in order that when I come I may not receive pain from those who ought to give me joy, confident as I am as to all of you that my joy is the joy of you all.

4 Nuwalembiriti mwenga kwa ufiru mkulu uganu pantutuwala nentu na masozi ganawa, nfiriti ndiri kuwahinginiziya mwenga, kumbiti kwa kuwalanguziyani kuwera nuwafira nentu mwenga mwawoseri.

For with many tears I write to you, and in deep suffering and depression of spirit, not in order to grieve you, but in the hope of showing you how brimful my heart is with love for you.

5 Vinu, handa muntu yoseri pakamwinginiziyiti yumonga, kahinginiziya ndiri neni gweka yangu, kumbiti kawahinginiziya mwawoseri mwenga na nfira ndiri neni hweri mkalipa nentu.

Now if any one has caused sorrow, it has been caused not so much to me, as in some degree--for I have no wish to exaggerate--to all of you.

6 Azabu yakapatiti kala kulawa kwa wavuwa wenu imtosha.

In the case of such a person the punishment which was inflicted by the majority of you is enough.

7 Vinu, mwenga mfiruwa kulekiziya muntu ayu vidoda vyakatenda na kumpanana moyu, su nakahinginika nentu.

So that you may now take the opposite course, and forgive him rather and comfort him, for fear he should perhaps be driven to despair by his excess of grief.

8 Su nuwaluwani mwenga, mumlanguziyi yomberi kayi kuwera mwenga mmufira nakamu.

I beg you therefore fully to reinstate him in your love.

9 Nembiti luhamba lulii toziya nfiriti kuvimana kuwera mwakala kujimila kila shitwatila.

For in writing to you I have also this object in view--to discover by experience whether you are prepared to be obedient in every respect.

10 Pamumlekiziya muntu vidoda vyakuwi, naneni viraa numulekiziya muntu vidoda vyakuwi. Toziya pahwera na shintu sha kulekiziya muntu vidoda vyakuwi, numulekiziya kulongolu kwa Kristu toziya ya mwenga,

When you forgive a man an offence I also forgive it; for in fact what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has always been for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

11 su Shetani nakatuzyanga. Toziya tuyimana mipangu yakuwi.

for fear Satan should gain an advantage over us. For we are not ignorant of his devices.

12 Su vinu pansokiti lushi lwa Trowa kushibwera Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Kristu, moniti Mtuwa kavuguliti mlyangu gwa kutenda lihengu lyakuwi.

Now when I came into the Troad to spread there the Good News about the Christ, even though in the Lord's providence a door stood open before me,

13 Kumbiti moyu guntamiti nentu, toziya numwona ndiri mlongu muyetu Titu. Su nuwagambira woseri palii neni mbuka na ng'enditi Makedoniya.

yet, obtaining no relief for my spirit because I did not find our brother Titus, I bade them farewell and went on into Macedonia.

14 Kumbiti, mayagashii kwa Mlungu, kwa yakatulongoziya mashaka goseri mumwanja gwa ukanga wa Kristu. Yomberi katutenda twenezi unakaka wa Kristu, gambira ununkira uherepa kila pahala.

But to God be the thanks who in Christ ever heads our triumphal procession, and by our hands waves in every place that sweet incense, the knowledge of Him.

15 Toziya twenga tulifana na ununkira uherepa wa Kristu yakamlavilira Mlungu, ununkira uherepa yauwafikira wantu woseri yawalopoziwitwi na wantu woseri yawagamira.

For we are a fragrance of Christ grateful to God in those whom He is saving and in those who are perishing;

16 Kwa wantu walii yawagamira, twenga twaununkira waujega kuhowa, kumbiti kwa walii yawalopoziwa, twenga twaununkira waujega ukomu. Hashi, gaa yakaweza kutenda lihengu lya ntambu ayi?

to the last-named an odor of death predictive of death, and to the others an odor of life predictive of life. And for such service as this who is competent?

17 Twenga tulifana ndiri gambira wantu walii yawawuza ujumbi wa Mlungu kwa mota yawu, kumbiti twenga twankubwera kwa uherepa wa moyu kulongolu kwa Mlungu, gambira wantu yawatumitwi na Mlungu, patulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu.

We are; for, unlike most teachers, we are not fraudulent hucksters of God's Message; but with transparent motives, as commissioned by God, in God's presence and in communion with Christ, so we speak.
