2 Abhakorintho 2
1 Nahamuye nene huje ensahenze hulimwe nemvitilwe.
For my own sake, as well, I decided not to pay you another painful visit.
2 Nkanene nabhavisizye, eshi wenu yagansungwizya ane, eshi yayula yawavisizye ane?
If it is I who cause you pain, why, who is there to cheer me, except the person whom I am paining?
3 Nasimbile neshi shanalolile huje isahavwalale na bhala bhabhasababisizye aje ensongwe. Endinoujasiri huje amwe mwenti aja uluseshelo lwawi lwalula lwamwalinalwo namwe.
So I wrote as I did because I was afraid that if I had come, I should have been pained by those who ought to have made me glad; for I felt sure that it was true of you all that my joy was in every case yours also.
4 Shesho nabhasimbiye amwe afuatane na mayemba magosi na malabha gahumwoyo na mansoza gaminji. Sewahanzaga huje embavisye. Nahanzaga aje mumanye ulugano lwane ulahumwoyo hulimwe mulumanye.
I wrote to you in sore trouble and distress of heart and with many tears, not to give you pain, but to let you see how intense a love I have for you.
5 Nkahweli umuntu yayonti yamvisizye, sigamviye ane, lakini kwa kiwango fulani bila kuweka ukali zaidi nemwene - abhavisizye nawe bhayo.
Now whoever has caused the pain has not so much pained me, as he has, to some extent – not to be too severe – pained every one of you.
6 Eli isombo lya muntu hwabhinjiliyiye.
The man to whom I refer has been sufficiently punished by the penalty inflicted by the majority of you;
7 Eshi badadala ya husomvye musaajile nahuzinzye. Bombi isho ili asahateeje nensebho enyiwji.
so that now you must take the opposite course, and forgive and encourage him, or else he may be overwhelmed by the intensity of his pain.
8 Nane embabhasumbe pawinji namwaihubhombela uyo.
So I entreat you to assure him of your love.
9 Nabhasimbiye huje embalenje aje muli nulwitishilo hushila hantu.
I had this further object, also, in what I wrote – to find out whether you might be relied on to be obedient in everything.
10 Nkamusaajile umuntu yayonti nane ehusaajila umuntu uyo shila yenyu mwemwe hunonongwa ya Yesu.
Anyone you forgive, I forgive them, too. Indeed, for my part, whatever I have forgiven (if I have had to forgive anything), I have forgiven for your sakes, in the presence of Christ,
11 Tibhomba eshi huje ushetani asahatikhonele, ate setibhalema na mambo gakwe.
so as to prevent Satan from taking advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
12 Ungulubhi ni guliye undyango nanahenzele alumbilile izu ya Yesu husi ya Troa.
When I went to the district around Troas to tell the good news of the Christ, even though there was an opening for serving the Master,
13 Lelo sihali nuluseshelo humwoyo hunongwa yahajesenamwajile uholo wane u Tito, nabhaleshile nahawela hu Makedonia.
I could get no peace of mind because I failed to find Titus, my friend; so I took leave of the people there, and went on to Macedonia.
14 Asalipwaje Ungulubhi, ambaye katika Kristu mara zote hutuongoza sisi katika ushindi. Yatibhomba aje timenaje na huje tinunshilaje ensi yonti.
All thanks to God, who, through our union with the Christ, leads us in one continual triumph, and uses us to spread the sweet perfume of the knowledge of him in every place.
15 Ate hwa Ngulubhi tilinunshili uwinza uwa Yesu bhonti bhabhahwaulwa na bhasigabhahwaulwa(bhabhateega).
For we are the fragrance of Christ ascending to God – both among those who are in the path of salvation and among those who are in the path to ruin.
16 Hwa bhantu bhabhatega nunshili wenfwa paka hwenfwa na bhala bhahwaulwa nushiliwe womi paka nuwomi. Wenu yavibhajiye evi?
To the latter we are a stench which arises from death and tells of death; to the former a fragrance which arises from life and tells of life. But who is equal to such a task?
17 Ate setetetikazya izu lya Ngulubhi hufaida yetu. Lelo aye humwoyo uzelu ugwinza tiyanga mwa Yesu neshishatitumwa nu Ngulubhi.
Unlike many people, we are not in the habit of making profit out of God’s message; but in all sincerity, and bearing God’s commission, we speak before him in union with Christ.
