2 Vakolinto 6
1 lino, ulwakuva tuvomba imbombo palikimo nu Nguluve tukuvasuuma kuuti ulusungu lwa Nguluve luno mwupile mulekaghe kuuti lusove vuvule.
Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the grace of God in vain,
2 ulwakuva uNguluve iiti, un'siki ghuno ghukanoghiile nikapulike, ikighono ikya vupoki nikakutangile pulikisia, un'siki ghuno ghuno ghunoghiile ghwe ughu, ikighono ikya vupoki kye iki.
for he says, "At an acceptable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I helped you." Look, now is the "acceptable time." Look, now is the "day of salvation."
3 lino, natuvomba lumonga luno lukuvasia avange, kuuti uvuvombi vwitu vuleke kujovua fivi.
We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,
4 ulwenen mu sooni tuhufia kuuti tuli vavombi va Nguluve. Tuli vavombi vaake mulwa kuguda fiijo mu mhumhuko na mu nhalamu nyinga.
but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,
5 kutovua, kudindilua mu ndinde, tukwovelua na mapugha gha vaanhu, tuvomba imbombo inhalamu, tilinda na kughonela.
in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;
6 kange tuhufia muvugholofu, mu vukagusi, mu lugudo, mu vukoola, mulwa kulongosivua nu Mhepo uMwimike, nu lughano ulusila vukedusi.
in pureness, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,
7 kange tuli vavombi vaake mulwa kupulisia imhola ija kyang'haani, mu ngufu sa Nguluve. uvugholofu kye kilwilo kuuti, ulubale ulwa ndia nu lwa ng'highi.
in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 usue tutavwile, avaanhu vatughinie nambe vatubenapule, vatupaale nambe vatujove fiivi, tuvoneka tuli vadesi himbe tujova isa kyang'haani.
by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;
9 tuvomba imbombo heene natukaguliike himbe tukaguliike vunono. -tuvomba imbombo hene vano vifua kange lolagha! tujiighe tuli vwuumi. tuvomba imbombo heene tupumusivua vwimila vwa maghendele ghiitu, na kwe kuuti ndavule avaanhu vano vahighilue nambe kwe kufua.
as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and look, we live; as punished, and not killed;
10 tuvomba imbombo heene tuli nu lusukunalo, neke jaatu tuli nu lukeelo. tuvomba imbombo hene tulivakotofu, neke vinga vatupeliile uvumofu. tuvomba imbombo heene natukava kimonga ulwene tuli ni fiinu fyoni.
as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11 mwe va Kolinto, tujovile numue kisila kufisa kimonga, kange tujovile nu lughano ulukome.
Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.
12 usue natu vuhilile kukuvagha umue looli umue, mu nyivonelo siinu, muvuhilile kukutwagha usue.
You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.
13 lino, nijova numue hene nijova na vanango, muvisaghe nu lughano ulukome kulyusue, ndavule usue tulivuo.
Now in return, I speak as to my children, you also be open wide.
14 namungavisaghe nu vu hangilanisi na vaanhu vano navitiki. ulwakuva uvugholofu nu vuhosi ndepoonu fiiva vumo ndaani? nambe ulumuli ni ng'hiisi ndepoonu fiiva pepamo?
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
15 kange uKilisite nu Beliari ndepoonu vipuling'hana? nambe umwitki na juno namwitiki, ndeponu viiva nu vuhangilanisi vuki?
What agreement has Messiah with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?
16 inyumba inyimike ija Nguluve ndepoonu jiva vumo ni fihwani ifya manguluve? usue tuli nyumba inyimike ija Nguluve juno mwumi, ndavule uNguluve jujuo vule alyajovile.” nili kukala mu veene. na kughenda palikimo na veene. Niliva Nguluve ghwave, voope viiva vaanhu vango.
What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For we are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, "I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people."
17 lino uMutwa iiti, “muvuuke pakate pa veene, mubaghule vano namungakolaghe ikiinu ikilamafu, najune pe kyanikuvupila.
Therefore, "'Go out from their midst, and be separate,' says the Lord, 'and touch no unclean thing,' and I will receive you.
18 niiva nhaata ghwinu, najumue muuva vaswambango na valivango,' uMutwa unyangufu sooni, ijova.
"And I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters," says the Lord Almighty.
