2 Abhakorintho 1
1 U Paulo, utumwe wa Yesu hlugano lwa Ngulubhi, nu Timotheo uholo witu, hwubhibhanza isha hu Korintho, na hwa Kristu bhonti bhabhali humukoa gwanti gwa hu Akaya.
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 Ulusajilo no lusehelo lwalufuma hwa Ngulubhi Yesu Kristu lubhe namwe.
May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
3 Alumbwe Ungulubhe wa Gosi witu uYesu Kristu, umwene Ngulubhi welusajilo nantele Ngulubhi we luzinzyo lwoti.
Blessed is the God and Father of Jesus Christ our Lord, the all-merciful Father, the God ever ready to console,
4 Ungulubhi atizinzya ate humalabha getu, aje nate tibhazinyaje bhabhali mumalabhatibhazinzyaje nabhanja huluzinzyo lwatizinzizye ate Ungulubhi.
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 Neshi amalabhi ga Kristu shagahwonjelela husababu yetu nu luzinzyo luhwonjelela hulite ashilile hwa Yesu 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 Lelo nkatitamansiwa, titamansiwa hunongwa ye luzinzyo lwenyu nu wokovu wenyu, nkashele tuzinziwa, tizinziwa, tizinziwa hunongwa yeluzinzyo lwenyu uluzinzyo lwenyu lubhomba embombo pamuhweteshela amalabha galabaga uYesu namuvulila neshi patuvumilila ate.
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 Nu ujasili wetu hulimwe ulishinza, tumenye aje namwahitishie amalabhi, muhweteshela nuluzinzyo.
and our hope for you remains unshaken. We know that, as you are sharing our sufferings, you will also share our consolation.
8 Sagatuhwanza aje mubhe bhalema, bhaholo, gatalinago hu Asia. Tabhonelwe pakasetamenye huje taibhabhomi nantele.
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 Twali nulongwe ulwafwe eli lyatibheshele huje tusahwisubhile tetee, aje tisubhilaje Ungulubhi yazyusya nabhafwe.
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 Atokoye nenfwa, abhatokole nantele, tibheshele uujasiri wetu aje abhatokole nantele.
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 Abhabhombe eshi neshi amwe namutaavwa humputo zyenyu abhinji bhaayenza asalifye huniaba yetu hunongwa ye upendelelo lwe lusajilo humputo zyenyu.
And then many lips will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us in answer to many prayers.
12 Tihwisunvya eli, oushuha wiza amili yetu uwinza we mwoyo hwa Ngulubhi aje tajendeleye pansi, namwe siyo ne hekima ya munsi. Tumefanya hivi hasa na ninyi, na sio katika hekima ya ulimwengu, lelo hu neema ya Ngulubhi.
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 Setibhasimbila zyasigamuzibajiye abhazye awe ahwelewe. Endinoujasiri
We never write anything to you other than what you will acknowledge to the very end –
14 kwamba kwa sehemu mutelewe nantele endinuujasiri aji isiku elya Yesu Ugosi wetu, taibha sababu yenyu hunongwa ye mabado genyu, neshi shamwaibha hulite.
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 Nali noujasiri aje nahanzaga ahwenze hulimwe nasoti aje nkamwejelele efaida eyahwenze awe hulimwe ulwabhili.
With this conviction in my mind, I planned to come to see you first, so that your pleasure might be doubled –
16 Napanjile ahwenze nanabhalaga hu Makedonia, ata nanawelaga napanjile ahwinze, nante amwe antume ane nabhalaga hu Uyahudi.
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 Nanasibhaga eshi, je, nalunzanyaga humwoyo? Je napangashibi nadamu huje eje “Ena, ena” ndadi, ndadi huwakati umo?
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 Lelo Ungulubhi shamwinza, setiyanga aja, “Ndadi” Awe “Ewa.”
As God is true, the message that we brought you does not waver between ‘Yes’ and ‘No’!
19 Abhe umwana wa Ngulubhi uYesu Kristu, u Silwano, nu Timotheo nanee tabhatangazizizye huje hwamwene tiyiga “Ena” au “Ndadi” hwa mwene tiyiga “Ena.”
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 Maana ululagano lwa Ngulubhi huje “Ena” humambo gonti, hwa mwene zyonti huje “Ena” mwamwenye esho ashilile hwa mwene tiiga “Amina” hutuntumu wa Ngulubhi.
For, many as were the promises of God, in Christ is the ‘Yes’ that fulfills them. Therefore, through Christ again, let the ‘Amen’ rise, through us, to the glory of God.
21 Yu Ngulubhi yatihakikisyi ati namwe mwa Yesu aje atitumile.
God who brings us, with you, into close union with Christ, and who consecrated us,
22 Abeshele eshimanyilo (omuhuru) hulite nantele atipiye no Mpepo wakwe mumoyo getu aje shibhe shilongolo shaitipela pamande.
also set his seal on us, and gave us his Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of future blessings.
23 Ehubhuzya Ungulubhi ambule zyasigana henzeye hu Koritho, aje ensabhabidushile amwe.
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 Eli siyo huje tibhonesya sa aluhwanziwa ulweteshelo lwetu aje shalubhe, tibhombha pandwemo namwe hunongwa.
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.
