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.
To the church of God in Corinth, and to all Christ’s people throughout Greece, from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, and from Timothy, who is also a follower.
2 Manemu na ponga zazilawa kwa Mlungu Tati gwetu na Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu gaweri pamuhera na mwenga.
May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
3 Kakwiswi Mlungu Tati gwa Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu, Tati yakawera na lusungu na Mlungu yakawakola mawoku muvitwatira vyoseri.
Blessed is the God and Father of Jesus Christ our Lord, the all-merciful Father, the God ever ready to console,
4 Yomberi katukola mawoku muntabika zoseri, su tupati kuwatanga wamonga mukila ntabika, gambira Mlungu ntambu yakatukola mawoku twenga.
who consoles us in all our troubles, so that we may be able to console those who are in any trouble with the consolation that we ourselves receive from him.
5 Yina, ntambu ya ntabika ya Kristu yayiyongereka mngati mwetu na twenga viraa vilii twongereka kukolwa mawoku na Kristu.
It is true that we have our full share of the sufferings of the Christ, but through the Christ we have also our full share of consolation.
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.
If we meet with trouble, it is for the sake of your consolation and salvation; and, if we find consolation, it is for the sake of the consolation that you will experience when you are called to endure the sufferings that we ourselves are enduring;
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 for you remains unshaken. We know that, as you are sharing our sufferings, you will also share our 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.
We want you, friends, to know that, in the troubles which befell us in Roman Asia, we were burdened altogether beyond our strength, so much so that we even despaired of life.
9 Kumbiti mumioyu ya twenga iweriti handa tutozwitwi kulagwa, su tufundwi kuwera natulitumbira twaweni, kumbiti tumtumbiri Mlungu yakawazyukisiya yawahowiti.
Indeed, we had the presentiment that we must die, so that we might rely, not on ourselves, but on God who raises the dead.
10 Yomberi katulopoziyiti mukuhowa gambira atali, nayomberi hakatulopoziyi, na twenga tumtumbira yomberi kuwera hakatulopoziyi kayi.
And from so imminent a death God delivered us, and will deliver us again; for in him we have placed our hopes of future deliverance, while you, also, help us by your prayers.
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.
And then many lips will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us in answer to many prayers.
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.
Indeed, our main ground for satisfaction is this – Our conscience tells us that our conduct in the world, and still more in our relations with you, was marked by a purity of motive and a sincerity that were inspired by God, and was based, not on worldly policy, but on the help of God.
13 Twankuwalembirani mwenga vitwatira vyamuviweza kuvibetula na kuvimana. Nakulitumbira kuwera hamgamani hweri,
We never write anything to you other than what you will acknowledge to the very end –
14 toziya mpaka vinu mmana katepu hera. Tuvimana kuwera shakapanu hamuvimani na hamututumbiri twenga gambira twenga ntambu yatulitumbira mulishaka lya Mtuwa gwetu Yesu.
And, indeed, you have already partly acknowledged it about us – that you have a right to be proud of us, as we will be proud of you, on the day of our Lord Jesus.
15 Neni pawera na matumbiru aga, nfiriti kuwatyangira mwenga kwanja su mwenga hamtekelerwi mala mbili.
With this conviction in my mind, I planned to come to see you first, so that your pleasure might be doubled –
16 Nfiriti kuwatyangira mwenga pampiti kugenda Makedoniya na pambuya kwa mwenga kulawa mumkowa gwa Makedoniya, su muntangi mumwanja gwangu gwa kugenda Yudeya.
To visit you both on my way to Macedonia, and to come to you again on my return from Macedonia, and then to get you to send me on my way into Judea.
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?
As this was my plan, where, pray, did I show any fickleness of purpose? Or do you think that my plans are formed on mere impulse, so that in the same breath I say “Yes” and “No”?
18 Mlungu ndo mwaminika, su shilii shatuwagambiriti mwenga, shitwatira ndiri sha “Yina” Na “Ndala” Palaa panu.
As God is true, the message that we brought you does not waver between “Yes” and “No”!
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.
The Son of God, Christ Jesus, whom we – Silas, Timothy, and I – proclaimed among you, never wavered between “Yes” and “No.” With him it has always been “Yes.”
20 Toziya malagilu goseri ga Mlungu gawera “Yina” Mukristu. Su kupitira mweni “Yina haa” yankulonga kwatwenga kwa ukwisa wa Mlungu.
For, many as were the promises of God, in Christ is the “Yes” that fulfils them. Therefore, through Christ again, let the “Amen” rise, through us, to the glory of God.
21 Mlungu mweni yakatenda twenga pamuhera na mwenga mumakaliru getu tukolerani pamuhera na Kristu, Mlungu mweni yakatusyaguliti,
God who brings us, with you, into close union with Christ, and who consecrated us,
22 yomberi yakatumatikiti shilangaziwu kulanguziya kuwera twenga twawantu wakuwi na kutupanana twenga Rohu Mnanagala mumioyu ya twenga kaweri lilangaliru lyalitulitwi kwajili ya twenga.
also set his seal on us, and gave us his Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of future blessings.
23 Mlungu ndo kapitawu gwangu, yomberi kagumana moyu gwa neni. Neni niziti ndiri kayi Korintu kuwatenda muweri na utama.
But, as my life will answer for it, I call God to witness that it was to spare you that I deferred my visit to Corinth.
24 Tufira ndiri kuwalonguziya kwa makakala munjimiru yenu, mwenga mgangamala munjimiru yenu. Twenga tutenda lihengu pamuhera kwa nemeleru ya mwenga.
I do not mean that we are to dictate to you with regard to your faith; on the contrary, we work with you for your true happiness; indeed, it is through your faith that you are standing firm.
