2 Bakolinto 1
1 Kalata ilafumunga kuli njame Paulo walasalwa ne Lesa kuba mutumwa wa Klistu Yesu ndi ne mukwetu Timoti, ndalembelenga ku mubungano wa bantu bashoma Lesa bali mu Kolinto ne kubanse bonse bali mucibela ca Akaya.
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
2 Inkumbo ne lumuno lwa Lesa Ishetu ne Mwami Yesu Klistu bibe ne njamwe.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Katumulumbaishani Lesa Baishi Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu Lesa wankumbo, Lesa ukute kutontosha mu nshila iliyonse,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
4 ukute kututontosha twaba ne mapensho kwambeti ne njafwe tucikonshe kutontosha banetu bali mu mapensho amushobo uliwonse, pakwinga ne njafwe Lesa latutontoshonga.
who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5 Nambi tulakumananga ne mapensho angi pacebo ca Klistu, kayi tulatontoshewanga kupitila muli Klistu.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.
6 Mapensho ngotulakumananga nawo alamupanga katonto kwambeti mupuluke, na afwe katutontoshewa ne njamwe mwela kutontoshewa kwambeti, mucikonshe kwakoma mapensho awo ne njafwe ngotulakumananga nawo.
But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
7 Neco kupembelela kwetu nkotukute muli njamwe nkakulatenkananga sobwe, pakwinga tucisheti mulakumananga ne mapensho akoshana ne ngotulakumananga nawo, ne njamwe ni mukacane kutontoshewa,
Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.
8 mobanse bame, tusuni kwambeti mwinshibe lipensho ndyotwalakumana nalyo mu cimpansha ca Asiya lyalikuba linene kayi lyalatulemena cakwinseti twalapwilwa mano.
For we do not desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
9 Cakubinga mu myoyo yetu twalikunyumfweti tulatambulu kendi lombolosho lwakufwa. Ici calenshika kwambeti tuleke kulishoma tobene, nsombi kwambeti tushome Lesa uyo ukute kucikonsha kupundusha bafwa.
Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
10 Walatufuna mu mapensho alikuyanda kututwala kulufu, kayi nakatufune, ndashoma kwambeti na tuloshomo nakatufune,
who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us,
11 mbuli ncomukute kutunyamfwa mu mipailo yenu, neco mipailo yabantu bangi pali njafwe nikakumbulwe ne Lesa, kayi Lesa nakatuleleke. Bantu bangi nibakalumbaishe Lesa.
you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.
12 Lino pali cintu cilatupanga kulilumbanya tobene pakwinga miyeyo yetu ilatupanga bukamboni bwa kwambeti kulikonse nkotwalapita, makamaka pakati penu, tulenshi bintu byalulama, kayi munshila yashomeka kwelana ne luyando lwa Lesa. Nkatwali kutanguninwa ne mano a muntu sobwe, nsombi lwalikuba luse lwa Lesa.
For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
13 Makalata ngotulamulembelenga nkashupa kwabelenga ne kwanyumfwishisha, nomba ne kukabeco mulanyumfwishishingowa mbasu imo pa bintu mbyotulamulembelenga,
For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end—
14 nomba ndashoma kwambeti ku masuba akuntangu nimukanyumfwishishe. Pabusuba mbweshakese Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu, mwense nimukalilumbaishe cebo ca njafwe, ne njafwe tukalilumbaishe cebo ca njamwe.
as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
15 Cebo cakushoma kulico, ndayeyanga kwambeti ndimufwakashile nanshi, kwambeti mukapewe colwe mankanda abili.
In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,
16 Ndayeyanga kwisa kumufwakashila ndakayanga ku Makedoniya kwambeti, pakufuma uko mukanyamfweko bintu bilayandikinga mu bulwendo bwakame bwa kuya ku Yudeya.
and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.
17 Sena mulayeyengeti mpondalikuyeya sha kumufwakashila ndalikuyeyeti mwana wabula mano? sena ndilyeti muntu walisuna pakwinsa bintu, uyo wela kwambeti “Ee” Kayi eti “sobwe” Pacindi cimocimo?
When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”
18 Mbuli Lesa ncatabepe bantu, ncendalamulaya nkacalikuba cakusankanya maswi akwambeti “Ee”Nambi “Sobwe.”
But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”
19 Pakwinga Klistu Yesu Mwanendi Lesa uyo ngotwalikukambauka ame ndekali Paulo, nambi Sailasi ne Timoti, nkalikuba wakwambeti “Ee” Nambi “Sobwe” Kuli njamwe, nsombi walikuba cindi conse “Ee” Wa Lesa.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”
20 Nambi malayano a Lesa afula aconi mulyendiye onse akute kuba “Ee” Ecebo cakendi ncotukute kwambileti, “Ameni” Pacindi ncotukute kulumbanya Lesa.
For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.
21 Lesa eukute kulengesha kwambeti afwe ne njamwe tube bayuminina nta muli Klistu, kayi ewalatutuma.
Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,
22 Ewalatubika cando cakendi cakushomesha, kayi mumoyo wa muntu umo ne umo walatupa Mushimu Uswepa kubeti cishomesho ca bintu byeti bikese.
who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Nomba Lesa ampe cisubulo na ame nkandambanga cancinencine, capesha kwambeti mbule kwisa ku Kolinto nicakwambeti kantakamukansa kayi.
But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I did not come to Corinth.
24 Nkatulamukakatishinga bintu mbyomwela kushoma sobwe, pakwinga tucishi kwambeti mukute lushomo lwayuma. Neco njafwe basebenshi banenu pacebo ca kukondwa kwenu.
We do not control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
