2 Vakolinto 6
1 lino, ulwakuva tuvomba imbombo palikimo nu Nguluve tukuvasuuma kuuti ulusungu lwa Nguluve luno mwupile mulekaghe kuuti lusove vuvule.
And you also we, as God's fellow workers, entreat not to be found to have received His grace to no purpose.
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 a time of welcome I have listened to you, and on a day of salvation I have succoured you." Now is the time of loving welcome! Now is the day of salvation!
3 lino, natuvomba lumonga luno lukuvasia avange, kuuti uvuvombi vwitu vuleke kujovua fivi.
We endeavour to give people no cause for stumbling in anything, lest the work we are doing should fall into discredit.
4 ulwenen mu sooni tuhufia kuuti tuli vavombi va Nguluve. Tuli vavombi vaake mulwa kuguda fiijo mu mhumhuko na mu nhalamu nyinga.
On the contrary, as God's servants, we seek their full approval--by unwearied endurance, by afflictions, by distress, by helplessness;
5 kutovua, kudindilua mu ndinde, tukwovelua na mapugha gha vaanhu, tuvomba imbombo inhalamu, tilinda na kughonela.
by floggings, by imprisonments; by facing riots, by toil, by sleepless watching, by hunger and thirst;
6 kange tuhufia muvugholofu, mu vukagusi, mu lugudo, mu vukoola, mulwa kulongosivua nu Mhepo uMwimike, nu lughano ulusila vukedusi.
by purity of life, by knowledge, by patience, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by 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.
by the proclamation of the truth, by the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness, wielded in both hands;
8 usue tutavwile, avaanhu vatughinie nambe vatubenapule, vatupaale nambe vatujove fiivi, tuvoneka tuli vadesi himbe tujova isa kyang'haani.
through honour and ignominy, through calumny and praise. We are looked upon as impostors and yet are true men;
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 obscure persons, and yet are well known; as on the point of death, and yet, strange to tell, we live; as under God's discipline, and yet we are not deprived of life;
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 sad, but we are always joyful; as poor, but we bestow wealth on many; as having nothing, and yet we securely possess all things.
11 mwe va Kolinto, tujovile numue kisila kufisa kimonga, kange tujovile nu lughano ulukome.
O Corinthians, our lips are unsealed to you: our heart is expanded.
12 usue natu vuhilile kukuvagha umue looli umue, mu nyivonelo siinu, muvuhilile kukutwagha usue.
There is no narrowness in our love to you: the narrowness is in your own feelings.
13 lino, nijova numue hene nijova na vanango, muvisaghe nu lughano ulukome kulyusue, ndavule usue tulivuo.
And in just requital--I speak as to my children--let your hearts expand also.
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 come into close association with unbelievers, like oxen yoked with asses. For what is there in common between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what partnership has light with darkness?
15 kange uKilisite nu Beliari ndepoonu vipuling'hana? nambe umwitki na juno namwitiki, ndeponu viiva nu vuhangilanisi vuki?
Where can harmony between Christ and Belial be found? Or what participation 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.
And what compact has the Temple of God with idols? For we are the Temple of the ever-living God; as God has said, "I will dwell among them, and walk about among them; and will be their God, and it is they who shall be My people."
17 lino uMutwa iiti, “muvuuke pakate pa veene, mubaghule vano namungakolaghe ikiinu ikilamafu, najune pe kyanikuvupila.
Therefore, "'Come out from among them and separate yourselves,' says the Lord, 'and touch nothing impure; and I will receive you, and will be a Father to you,
18 niiva nhaata ghwinu, najumue muuva vaswambango na valivango,' uMutwa unyangufu sooni, ijova.
and you shall be My sons and daughters,' says the Lord the Ruler of all."
