2 VaKorinde 2

1 Asi ndakazvipira izvi, kusauyazve kwamuri mukusuwa.

For I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.

2 Nokuti kana ini ndichikusuwisai, ndiani zvino anondifadza, kunze kwaiye wakasuruvadzwa neni?

For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?

3 Zvino ndakakunyorerai chinhu ichi chakadai kuti ndasvika, ndirege kusuwiswa naivo vanofanira kundifadza, ndine chivimbo mamuri mese, kuti mufaro wangu ndewenyu mese.

And I wrote this very thing, so that, when I came, I would not have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.

4 Nokuti kubva mudambudziko guru nekusuruvara kwemoyo ndakakunyorerai nemisodzi mizhinji, kwete kuti murwadziswe, asi kuti muzive rudo rukurusa rwandinarwo kwamuri.

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.

5 Zvino kana umwe akarwadzisa, haana kurwadzisa ini, asi muchidimbu (kuti ndirege kukutakudzai mutoro) mese.

But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.

6 Kuranga uku kwakakwanira wakadai ndiko kwevazhinji;

Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;

7 kuti panzvimbo yaizvozvi zviri nani kuti mumukanganwire nekunyaradza, zvimwe wakadaro arege kuodzwa moyo kwazvo nekusuruvara kukuru.

so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.

8 Naizvozvo ndinokukumbirisai kuti musimbise rudo kwaari.

Therefore I urge you to confirm your love toward him.

9 Nokuti ndizvo zvandakanyorerawo, kuti ndizive kuedzwa kwenyu, kana muchiteerera pazvinhu zvese.

For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.

10 Zvino iye wamunokanganwira chinhu, neni ndinomukanganwira; nokuti kana neni ndichikanganwira chinhu, uyo wandinenge ndakakanganwira, ndinozviita nekuda kwenyu pamberi pechiso chaKristu,

Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

11 kuti tirege kushandiswa naSatani; nokuti hatizi vasingazivi mano ake.

that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

12 Zvino ndichisvika paTroasi neevhangeri yaKristu, ndazarurirwa mukova muna Ishe,

Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,

13 handina kuwana zororo pamweya wangu, pakusawana kwangu Tito hama yangu; asi ndakawonekana navo ndikabva ndikaenda kuMakedhonia.

I had no relief for my spirit, because I did not find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.

14 Zvino ngaavongwe Mwari, anotikundisa nguva dzese muna Kristu, uye anoratidza nesu panzvimbo dzese hwema hweruzivo rwake.

Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.

15 Nokuti tiri hwema hunonhuhwira hwaKristu kuna Mwari pane ivo vanoponeswa nepane ivo vanoparara;

For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;

16 kune vamwe hwema hwerufu mukufa, nekune vamwe hwema hweupenyu muupenyu. Zvino ndiani angakwanira zvinhu izvi?

to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

17 Nokuti hatifanani nevazhinji vanokanganisa shoko raMwari; asi sevanobva pauchokwadi, asi sezvinobva kuna Mwari pamberi paMwari tinotaura muna Kristu.

For we are not, like so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.
