2 VaKorinde 1

1 Pauro, mupostori waKristu Jesu nokuda kwaMwari, naTimoti hama yedu, kukereke yaMwari iri muKorinde, pamwe chete navatsvene vose vari muAkaya yose:

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, and all the saints that are in Achaia:

2 Nyasha norugare ngazvive kwamuri zvichibva kuna Mwari Baba vedu naIshe Jesu Kristu.

grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Ngaarumbidzwe Mwari naBaba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, ivo Baba vengoni naMwari wokunyaradza kwose,

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all consolation; who comforteth us in all our affliction,

4 ivo vanotinyaradza pamatambudziko edu ose, kuti tigone kunyaradza avo vari mumatambudziko nokunyaradza kwatakawana isu kubva kuna Mwari.

that we may be able to comfort those, that are in any trouble, by the consolation wherewith we ourselves are comforted by God.

5 Nokuti sokuwanda kunoita matambudziko aKristu muupenyu hwedu, ndiko kuwandawo kunoita kunyaradzwa kwedu naKristu.

For as the sufferings for the sake of Christ abound on us, so our consolation by Christ doth also abound.

6 Kana tichitambudzika, zvinoitirwa kunyaradzwa kwenyu noruponeso rwenyu, kana tichinyaradzwa, zvinoitirwa kunyaradzwa kwenyu, kunobereka mamuri kutsungirira pamatambudziko iwayo atinotambudzika nawo.

And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is wrought out by the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or if we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

7 Uye tariro yedu kwamuri yakasimba, nokuti tinoziva kuti sezvamunogoverana nesu mumatambudziko edu, saizvozvowo muchagoverana nesu mukunyaradzwa kwedu.

And our hope is firm concerning you, knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the consolation.

8 Hatidi kuti murege kuziva, hama, pamusoro pamatambudziko akatiwira tiri mudunhu reEzhia. Takaremerwa kwazvo, kupfuura zvatakagona kutsungirira, zvokuti takati takanga tofa.

For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befel us in Asia, that we were exceedingly pressed above our strength, so that we despaired even of life:

9 Zvirokwazvo mumwoyo medu takanzwa kuti takanga tatongerwa rufu. Asi izvi zvakaitika kuti tirege kuvimba nesimba redu asi naMwari, anomutsa vakafa.

but we had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead:

10 Akatidzikinura padambudziko guru rorufu rakadai, uye achatidzikinura. Paari ndipo pane tariro yedu kuti acharamba achitidzikinura,

who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver, in whom we trust that He will yet deliver us:

11 imi muchitibatsirawo neminyengetero yenyu. Ipapo vazhinji vachavonga pamusoro pedu nokuda kwenyasha zhinji dzatichapiwa pakupindurwa kweminyengetero yavazhinji.

you also assisting by prayer for us, that the favor obtained for us by the prayers of many might be thankfully acknowledged by many on our account.

12 Zvino uku ndiko kuzvirumbidza kwedu: Hana dzedu dzinotipupurira: kuti takazvibata nokutendeka kunobva kuna Mwari, munyika uye kunyanya paukama hwedu nemi. Hatina kuita izvi nouchenjeri hwenyama, asi maererano nenyasha dzaMwari.

For this is our rejoicing, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and pious sincerity, not with carnal wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and especially towards you.

13 Nokuti hatikunyorerei zvinhu zvamusingagoni kuverenga kana kunzwisisa. Uye ndinovimba kuti,

For we write no other things to you, but what ye own and acknowledge, and I hope ye will always acknowledge.

14 sezvamakatinzwisisa pane zvimwe, muchazosvika pakunyatsotinzwisisa zvakazara zvokuti muchazvirumbidza matiri sezvatichazvirumbidza mamuri, pazuva raIshe Jesu.

As ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, as ye also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

15 Nokuti ndaiziva chinhu ichi, ndakaronga kuti nditange kuuya kwamuri kuti mugoropafadzwa kaviri.

And in this confidence I had a mind to come to you first, (that ye might have a second benefit, ) and to pass by you into Macedonia;

16 Ndakaronga kukushanyirai ndiri parwendo rwangu rwokuenda kuMasedhonia, uye ndaizodzokazve nokwamuri kana ndobva kuMasedhonia, uye kuti muzondiendesa parwendo rwangu kuJudhea.

and then to come to you again from Macedonia, and by you to be forwarded on my way to Judea.

17 Pandakaronga izvi, ndakazviita ndisingarevesi here? Kana kuti ndinoita urongwa hwangu nenzira yenyama here, zvokuti ndingati nenzira imwe cheteyo, “Hongu, hongu” uye “Kwete, kwete.”

Now when I intended this, was I chargeable with levity? or what I purpose, do I purpose from carnal motives, that with me there should be yea, yea, and then no, no?

18 Asi zvirokwazvo naMwari akatendeka, shoko redu kwamuri harizi “Hongu” kana “Kwete.”

But the faithful God, He knows, that our word to you was not yes and no.

19 Nokuti Mwanakomana waMwari, Jesu Kristu, uyo akaparidzwa pakati penyu neni naSirasi uye naTimoti, akanga asiri, “Hongu” kana “Kwete”, asi maari zvakagara zviri “Hongu.”

For Jesus Christ the Son of God, who was preached among you by us, even by me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, was not yea and nay,

20 Nokuti hazvinei kuti Mwari akativimbisa zvinhu zvizhinji zvakadii, zvose i“Hongu” muna Kristu. Uye kubudikidza naiye tinoti “Ameni” kuti Mwari akudzwe.

but was yea in Him, (for all the promises of God are in Him yea, and in Him amen, ) to the glory of God by us:

21 Zvino ndiMwari anoita kuti tose imi nesu timire takasimba muna Kristu. Akatizodza,

but He that establisheth us as well as you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; who hath also sealed us,

22 akaisawo chisimbiso patiri chokuti tava vake, uye akaisa Mweya wake mumwoyo medu kuti ave rubatso, achipa chisimbiso chezvichauya.

and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

23 Ndinodana Mwari kuti ave chapupu changu kuti handina kuzouya kuKorinde nokuti ndakakunzwirai tsitsi.

But I call God to witness on my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet to Corinth:

24 Kwete nokuti tinoda kuremedza kutenda kwenyu, asi kuti tinobatsirana nemi kuti muve nomufaro, nokuti makamira zvakasimba nokuda kwokutenda.

not that we are lords over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
