2 Corinthians 2
1 Nítorí náà mo tí pinnu nínú ara mí pé, èmi kì yóò tún fi ìbànújẹ́ tọ̀ yin wá.
For I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
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, then who will make me glad but he who 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 very thing, so that, when I came, I would not have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.
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 to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for 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 has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.
6 Ìyà náà tí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ti fi jẹ́ irú ènìyàn bẹ́ẹ̀ tó fún un.
Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the 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 on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
8 Nítorí náà mo bẹ̀ yín, ẹ fi ìdánilójú ìfẹ́ yín hàn sí irú ẹni náà.
Therefore I urge you to 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 I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are 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.
Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
11 Kí Satani má ba à rẹ́ wa jẹ. Nítorí àwa kò ṣe aláìmọ́ àrékérekè rẹ̀.
that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà ti mo dé Troasi láti wàásù ìyìnrere Kristi, tí mo sì rí i wí pé Olúwa ti ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn fún mi,
Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in 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 relief for my spirit, because I did not find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out 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 to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge 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 a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved, and in those who 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 a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. 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, like so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.
