< 2 Abhakorintho 7 >
1 Bhakholo bhane, kwa kuwa tihandiwe eshi, tihwiyozye tete huu nongwa zyazitibheba aje tibhanje bhagwenyu humoyo. Tiwanzaje ouzelu huhofu ya Ngolobhe.
Having therefore these promises, beloved friends, let us purify ourselves from all defilement of body and of spirit, and secure perfect holiness through the fear of God.
2 Bhombaji eli sehuje embauna afuatenaje aje muli mumoyo getu! Setivisizye omuntu nkoma. Setifaidishe hufaida ya muntu wowonti.
Make room for us in your hearts. There is not one of you whom we have wronged, not one to whom we have done harm, not one over whom we have gained any selfish advantage.
3 Eyanga eli sehuje embauna afuatanaje aje muli mumoyo getu, ate hulite afwe pandwemo akhale pandwemo.
I do not say this to imply blame, for, as I have already said, you have such a place in our hearts that we would die with you or live with you.
4 Endi no ujasili winji mhati yenyu, ememile luzinzanyo. Ememile lusongwo hata mumayemba getu gonti.
I have great confidence in you: very loudly do I boast of you. I am filled with comfort: my heart overflows with joy amid all our affliction.
5 Tahenzele hu Makedonia, amabele getu segali notoyo. Baada yesho, tapele etabu hunamuna zyonti na khomwe evita upande wa honze ne hofu upande wa muhati.
For even after our arrival in Macedonia we could get no relief such as human nature craves. We were greatly harassed; there were conflicts without and fears within.
6 Ila Ongolobhe, wabhawafaliji bhawo lowe, atifalijile lwa henzaga o Tito.
But He who comforts the depressed--even God-- comforted us by the coming of Titus, and not by his coming only,
7 Sehwali huhwenzelo hwake tu aje Ongolobhe atizizya. Yali pia efaraja zila Otito zyaposheye afume hulimwe. Omwene atibhozyezye ulugano Ogosi lwa mlinanalyo, ozugumizu wenyu, mwamwali no wogawoga kwa ajili ya huline, shesho mzidile awe no lusho tee.
but also by the fact that he had felt comforted on your account, and by the report which he brought of your eager affection, of your grief, and of your jealousy on my behalf, so that I rejoiced more than ever.
8 Hata nkashe eshitabu bhabhombile no lu sikitiho, ane seusebhebhelela. lakini esebhelela nanahenya owalaka owu wabhabhombile aje mzugumile. ila mwalino zugumizu humuda ododo.
For if I gave you pain by that letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it then. I see that that letter, even though for a time it gave you pain, had a salutary effect.
9 Eshi sendi ne laha, sehuje mwali ne shida, afuatanaje azugumile hwenyu hwa bhaletile mtoba. Mwapete ozugumizu weshi Ngolobhe, shesho mwayembele se hu hasara kwa sababu ya hulite.
Now I rejoice, not in your grief, but because the grief led to repentance; for you sorrowed with a godly sorrow, which prevented you from receiving injury from us in any respect.
10 Afuatanaje oluzugumilo lwe shingolobhe luleta etoba ambago gukamilisha uwaushe bila abhe na malabhawa. Uzumizu wa munsi, ata sheshi galeta enfwa.
For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, a repentance not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world finally produces death.
11 Enyaji ehuzuni yeshi ngolobhe ehapapa azma anshi engosi mhati yenyu. Namna wele isebhewe lelo lyaliligosi mhati yenyu lya goloshe aje semwali ne hatia. Kwa jinsi gani uchungu wenu ulivyokuwa mkubwa, hofu yenu, matamanio yenu, bidii yenu, na shauku yenu kuona kwamba haki inapaswa kutendeka! katika kila jambo mmethibitisha wenyewe kutokuwa na hatia.
For mark the effects of this very thing--your having sorrowed with a godly sorrow--what earnestness it has called forth in you, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing affection, what jealousy, what meting out of justice! You have completely wiped away reproach from yourselves in the matter.
12 Pamoja naje nawaandishiye amwe, sehuje mwali na makosa, wala sehwa muntu wayembele ne mbibhi embatishiye aje ogosu we moyo genyu gajulihane hwa limwe hu maso ga Ngolobhe.
Therefore, though I wrote to you, it was not to punish the offender, nor to secure justice for him who had suffered the wrong, but it was chiefly in order that your earnest feeling on our behalf might become manifest to yourselves in the sight of God.
13 Aje esababu yeshi aje tifarijiha. Enyonje zya ye luzinzyo lwetu, tete, tisongwelwe hata ashizanye kwa sababu ye lusho lwa Tito, afutanaje ishiroho shakwe shi burudisiwa namwe mwenti.
For this reason we feel comforted; and--in addition to this our comfort--we have been filled with all the deeper joy at Titus's joy, because his spirit has been set at rest by you all.
14 Afuatana nanshi sana hwiyovwezye alengane namwe, senali nensoni. Shingunga shakwe, nkashele izu lyata yangile hulimwe lyali lye lyoli, ahwiyonve hwenyu ahusu mwe hwa Tito gatigolosya aje lyoli.
For however I may have boasted to him about you, I have no reason to feel ashamed; but as we have in all respects spoken the truth to you, so also our boasting to Titus about you has turned out to be the truth.
15 Olugano lwakwe hulite gosi sana lakini nakomboha olweno lwenyi mweti, shila shamwakalibizizye omwene huwoga na hwogope.
And his strong and tender affection is all the more drawn out towards you when he recalls to mind the obedience which all of you manifested by the timidity and nervous anxiety with which you welcomed him.
16 Ensongwele afuatanaje endi nenguvu kamili muhati yenu.
I rejoice that I have absolute confidence in you.
