2 Corinthians 2

1 Nítorí náà mo tí pinnu nínú ara mí pé, èmi kì yóò tún fi ìbànújẹ́ tọ̀ yin wá.

BUT I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.

2 Nítorí pé bí èmi bá mú inú yín bàjẹ́, ǹjẹ́ ta ni ẹni ti ìbá mú inú mí dùn ní àkókò tí inú mi bá bàjẹ́ bí kò ṣe ẹni tí mo ti ba nínú jẹ́?

For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?

3 Èmi sì kọ̀wé bí mo tí kọ sí yín pé, nígbà tí mo bá sì de, kí èmi má ṣe ni ìbànújẹ́ lọ́dọ̀ àwọn ti ìbá mú mi ní ayọ̀, nítorí tí mo ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nínú gbogbo yín, wí pé ẹ̀yin yóò jẹ́ alábápín ayọ̀ mi.

And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

4 Nítorí pé nínú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ wàhálà àti ìrora ọkàn mí ni mo ti fi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ omijé kọ̀wé sí yín; kì í ṣe nítorí kí a lè bà yín nínú jẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ̀yin bá a lè mọ bí ìfẹ́ tí mo ní sí yín ṣe jinlẹ̀ tó.

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

5 Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá fa ohun ìbànújẹ́ kì í ṣe èmi ni ó bà nínú jẹ́, bí kò ṣe ẹ̀yin fúnra yín, níwọ̀n ìyówù kí ó jẹ́; n kò fẹ́ sọ ọ́ lọ́nà líle jù.

But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.

6 Ìyà náà tí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ti fi jẹ́ irú ènìyàn bẹ́ẹ̀ tó fún un.

Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.

7 Kàkà bẹ́ẹ̀, ẹ̀yin ìbá kúkú dáríjì í, kí ẹ sí tù ú nínú ní gbogbo ọ̀nà, kí ìbànújẹ́ má bà á bo irú ènìyàn bẹ́ẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀.

So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

8 Nítorí náà mo bẹ̀ yín, ẹ fi ìdánilójú ìfẹ́ yín hàn sí irú ẹni náà.

Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.

9 Ìdí tí mo ṣe kọ̀wé ni kí èmi ba à lè rí ẹ̀rí dìímú nípa ìgbọ́ràn yín nínú ohun gbogbo.

For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.

10 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yin bá dáríjì ẹnikẹ́ni, èmi pẹ̀lú dáríjì í. Ohun tí èmi pẹ̀lú bá fi jì, nítorí tiyín ní mo fi jì níwájú Kristi.

To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;

11 Kí Satani má ba à rẹ́ wa jẹ. Nítorí àwa kò ṣe aláìmọ́ àrékérekè rẹ̀.

Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

12 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà ti mo dé Troasi láti wàásù ìyìnrere Kristi, tí mo sì rí i wí pé Olúwa ti ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn fún mi,

Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,

13 síbẹ̀ èmi kò ní àlàáfíà lọ́kàn mi, nítorí tí èmi kò rí Titu arákùnrin mi níbẹ̀. Nítorí ìdí èyí ni mo ṣe dágbére fún wọn, mo si rékọjá lọ sí Makedonia.

I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.

14 Ṣùgbọ́n ọpẹ́ ni fún Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ń yọ ayọ̀ ìṣẹ́gun lórí wá nígbà gbogbo nínú Kristi, tí a sì ń fi òórùn dídùn ìmọ̀ rẹ̀ hàn nípa wa níbi gbogbo.

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

15 Nítorí òórùn dídùn Kristi ni àwa jẹ́ fún Ọlọ́run, nínú àwọn tí a ń gbàlà àti nínú àwọn tí ó ń ṣègbé.

For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

16 Fún àwọn kan, àwa jẹ́ òórùn sí ikú, àti fún àwọn mìíràn òórùn ìyè sí ìyè. Ta ni ó ha si tọ́ fún nǹkan wọ̀nyí?

To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

17 Nítorí àwa kò dàbí àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, tí ń fi ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run ṣòwò jẹun; ṣùgbọ́n nínú òtítọ́ inú àwa ń sọ̀rọ̀ níwájú Ọlọ́run nínú Kristi gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn tí a rán láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá.

For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
