2 Bakolinto 6
1 Mu ncito iyi njotulasebenselenga pamo ne Lesa tulamusengenga kwambeti tambulani nkumbo sha Lesa, kamutaleka nkumbo sha Lesa shibe shabulyo sobwe.
So we therefore as workers together beseech you, that ye receiue not the grace of God in vaine.
2 Kamunyumfwani Lesa ncalambanga, “Lino mpocalashika cindi caina cakulesha nkumbo ndalanyumfwa, mpobwalashika busuba bwa kumupulusha ndalamunyamfwa” Kamunyumfwani! cino ni cindi ca kumunyamfwa. Kamunyumfwani! lelo ni busuba bwa kupuluka.
For he sayth, I haue heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of saluation haue I succoured thee: beholde nowe the accepted time, beholde nowe the day of saluation.
3 Nkatusuni kwambeti muntu naumbi acanepo mulandu pa ncito yetu, ecebo cakendi ncotulelekeshenga kwambeti katutabika nsuntu ku muntu uliyense.
We giue no occasion of offence in any thing, that our ministerie shoulde not be reprehended.
4 Nsombi kwambeti mu bintu mbyotulenshinga tulilesheti tobasebenshi ba Lesa pakupitilisha kuba ne lushomo nambi tuba mu makatasho ne mubuyumuyumu.
But in all things we approue our selues as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5 Kumwa, kubikwa mu jele ne mu minyungwe. Twalalema kusebensa cakwinseti nkatwali kona nambi kuba ne cindi ca kulya.
In stripes, in prisons, in tumults, in labours,
6 Kayi kupitila mu buyumi bwetu bwabula kampenda, twashometi njafwe basebenshi ba Lesa pakuba baswepa myoyo ne lwishibo lwetu lunene, kayi ne kwikalika moyo kwetu, mwankumbo nshotukute mu Mushimu Uswepa kayi ne mulusuno lwancine ncine,
By watchings, by fastings, by puritie, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindnesse, by the holy Ghost, by loue vnfained,
7 mu mulumbe wetu wancinencine ne mungofu sha Lesa. Byensho byakulwanisha ne byakulicingilila mbyotukute mu makasa ni bululami.
By the worde of trueth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousnesse on the right hand, and on the left,
8 Bantu bakute kutupa bulemu kayi ne kutusebanya, bakute kututukana ne kutulumba, ne kutwambeti tobandemi shibili nsombi ntafwe bandemi shibili sobwe, Afwe tukute kwamba cancinencine.
By honour, and dishonour, by euill report, and good report, as deceiuers, and yet true:
9 Tulyeti bantu babula kwishibikwa, nsombi twaya lulumbi kuli bonse, tulyeti bantu bafwa, nsombi mutubweni tobayumi, nambi batupensha munshila iliyonse, nkabela kutushina sobwe.
As vnknowen, and yet knowen: as dying, and beholde, we liue: as chastened, and yet not killed:
10 Cindi conse twakondwa nambi katupenshewa, tukute kuboneka bakandu, nsombi tukute kupa bubile bantu bangi, tukute kuboneketi paliya ncotukute, nsombi twakwana mu bintu byonse.
As sorowing, and yet alway reioycing: as poore, and yet make many riche: as hauing nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11 Amwe Bene Kolinto, afwe tulamba cakutasoleka, kumoyo kwetu kwatuba tuu.
O Corinthians, our mouth is open vnto you: our heart is made large.
12 Afwe ntafwe tulaleke kumusuna sobwe, nsombi njamwe mulaba ne lusuno lwatontola kuli njafwe.
Ye are not kept strait in vs, but ye are kept strait in your owne bowels.
13 Pacino cindi ndambanga kuli njamwe mbuli ncondela kwamba ku bana bame, ndamusengenga kwambeti “Ne njamwe kamuleshani lusuno lwenu kulinjafwe.”
Nowe for the same recompence, I speake as to my children, Be you also inlarged.
14 Kamutekatishananga ne bantu babula lushomo, inga muntu walulama ngawikatana ne muntu waipa munshila cini? nambi mumuni ngawikatana ne mushinshe munshila cini?
Be not vnequally yoked with the infidels: for what fellowship hath righteousnesse with vnrighteousnesse? and what communion hath light with darkenesse?
15 Inga Klistu ngawikatanaconi ne Satana? nambi muntu walulama ngawikatanaconi ne muntu wabula kululama?
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath the beleeuer with the infidell?
16 Sena pali kunyumfwana pakati pa Ng'anda ya Lesa ne tumbwanga? Pakwinga njafwe Ng'anda ya Lesa muyumi, pakwinga Lesa lambangeti, “Ninkekale pakati pabo ne kwenda nabo pamo. Ninkabe Lesa wabo, nabo nibakabe bantu bakame.”
And what agreement hath the Temple of God with idols? for ye are the Temple of the liuing God: as God hath said, I will dwell among them, and walke there: and I will be their God, and they shalbe my people.
17 Neco Mwami Lesa lambangeti, “Kamubayamukani pansanani nabo. Kamutakumya cintu casafwana ciliconse, mwenseco ame ninkamutambule,
Wherefore come out from among them, and separate your selues, saith the Lord, and touch none vncleane thing, and I wil receiue you.
18 ninkabe mushali wenu, nenjamwe nimukabe bana bame batuloba ne batukashi, lambangeco Mwami Lesa wa ngofu shonse.”
And I will be a Father vnto you, and ye shalbe my sonnes and daughters, saith the Lord almightie.
