2 Wakorintu 6
1 Su patuwera watenda lihengu pamuhera na Mlungu, tuwaluwani mwanki manemu ga Mlungu namleka gagamiri hera.
We, then, as fellow-laborers, also beseech you not to receive the favor of God in vain;
2 Mlungu kalonga hangu, “Mushipindi sha manemu gangu nuwapikaniriti Mulishaka lya ulopoziya nuwatangiti.” Nuwagambireni, vinu ndo shipindi sha upendelewu wa Mlungu, vinu ndo lishaka lya kulopoziwa!
(for he says, "In an accepted season I have hearkened to you; and in a day of salvation I have helped you." Behold, now is a highly accepted season; behold, now is a day of salvation: )
3 Tufira ndiri kuwera shileweleru kwa muntu yoseri mushitwatira shoseri, su tutenda hangu toziya lihengu lyetu naliwoneka shintu ndiri kwa wantu.
giving no cause of offense in anything, that the ministry be not blamed.
4 Kumbiti mukila shintu shatutenda ilanguziya twenga ndo wantumintumi wa Mlungu kwa kuhepelera, kutabika na ntabika zyoseri.
But by everything approving ourselves as ministers of God, by much patience, by oppressions, by necessities, by distresses,
5 Tukomitwi, watutuliti mshibetubetu, tuboleritwi paweru na vipinga, tutenda lihengu likamala na tukala masu na tuliya ndiri shiboga.
by stripes, by imprisonments, by tumults, by labors, by watchings, by fastings;
6 Twenga tulilanguziya kuwera wantumintumi wa Mlungu kwa uherepa wa moyu na umaniziya, kwa uhepelera na kwa maheri na Rohu Mnanagala na kwa mafiliru yagahera ufyangu.
by purity, by knowledge, by long-suffering, by goodness, by a holy spirit, by love unfeigned;
7 Kwa ujumbi wa nakaka na kwa makakala ga Mlungu. Kutendwa waheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu ndo silaha yatwenga muwega wa kumliwu na kumshigi.
by the word of truth, by the power of God, through the armor of righteousness of the right hand and of the left;
8 Twakala kupata ligoya na kubeziwa, kulongwa na kuzyumwa. Wankutuwona gambira yawapaya, kumbiti twankulonga nakaka,
through honor and dishonor, through bad fame and good fame; as deceivers, yet true;
9 Handa yawamanikana ndiri, kumbiti tumanikana na woseri, gambira yawahowiti, kumbiti handa ntambu yamtuwona twenga wakomu nentu. Tukomitwi kumbiti tulagwa ndiri.
as unknown, yet well known; as dying, yet, behold, we live; as chastened, yet not killed;
10 Tuwoneka twana utama, kumbiti twankunemelera mashaka goseri, tuwonikana handa wahushu, patuwapanana wantu wamonga ulunda, tuwoneka twana shintu ndiri kumbiti twana vintu vyoseri.
as sorrowing, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing all things.
11 Mwenga walongu wayetu Wakorintu! Tuwagambiriti goseri pota kufifa na myoyu yatwenga ivuguka kwamwenga.
Corinthians! our mouth is open to you, our heart is enlarged.
12 Twenga ndiri yatutatiti myoyu yetu kwa mwenga, kumbiti mwenga ndo yamutatiti myoyu yenu kwatwenga.
You are not straitened in us, but you are straitened in your own bowels.
13 Vinu nankulonga na mwenga gambira wana waneni, mtuli myoyu yamwenga lupalahera gambira twenga ntambu yatutenditi.
Now, in return, (I speak as to children, ) be you also enlarged.
14 Namtenda pamuhera na wantu yawamjimira ndiri Mlungu, hashi, maheri na madoda galikala pamuhera? Ulangala na nditi viweza hashi kulikala pamuhera?
Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion has light with darkness?
15 Hangu Kristu kaweza hashi kulikala pamuhera na Shetani? Hashi, muntu yakamwamini Mlungu na yakamwamini ndiri Mlungu wawera na uganja gaa?
what concord has Christ with Belial? or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?
16 Hashi, numba ya Mlungu iwera na uganja gaa na shinyagu shashiguyirwa na wantu? Toziya twenga twa numba ya Mlungu yakawera mkomu. Handa Mlungu mweni ntambu yakalongiti, “Hanulikali nawomberi na kutyanga mngati mwawu na kulikala pakati pawu, Naneni hanweri Mlungu gwawu, Nawomberi hawaweri wantu waneni.”
And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? for you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, "Assuredly I will dwell among them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people.
17 Hangu Mtuwa kalonga, “Muwuki pakati pawu, Mulibaguli nawomberi. Namshinkula shintu shihumba, Na neni hanuwajimili.”
Wherefore, come out from among them, and be separated, says the Lord, and touch no unclean person; and I will receive you;
18 Mtuwa yakawera na likakala kalonga, “Neni hanweri Tati gwenu, Na mwenga hamuweri wana waneni, wapalu na wadala.”
and I be to you a Father, and you shall be to me sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."
