2 Corinthians 6
1 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí alábáṣiṣẹ́pọ̀ nínú Ọlọ́run, ǹjẹ́, àwa ń rọ̀ yín kí ẹ má ṣe gba oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run lásán.
We then, as workers together with him, plead to you also that all of you receive not the grace of God in vain.
2 Nítorí o wí pé, “Ní àkókò ìtẹ́wọ́gbà mi, èmi tí gbọ́ ohùn rẹ, àti ọjọ́ ìgbàlà, èmi sì ti ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́.” Èmi wí fún ọ, nísinsin yìí ní àkókò ìtẹ́wọ́gbà, nísinsin yìí ni ọjọ́ ìgbàlà.
(For he says, I have heard you in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I helped you: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
3 Àwa kò sì gbé ohun ìkọ̀sẹ̀ kankan si ọ̀nà ẹnikẹ́ni, ki iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ wa má ṣe di ìsọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí.
Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
4 Ṣùgbọ́n dípò bẹ́ẹ̀, ni ọnà gbogbo, àwa ń fi ara wa hàn bí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run nínú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ sùúrù, nínú ìpọ́njú, nínú àìní, nínú wàhálà,
But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5 nípa nínà, nínú túbú, nínú ìrúkèrúdò, nínú iṣẹ́ àṣekára, nínú àìsàn, nínú ìgbààwẹ̀.
In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
6 Nínú ìwà mímọ́, nínú ìmọ̀, nínú ìpamọ́ra, nínú ìṣeun, nínú Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, nínú ìfẹ́ àìṣẹ̀tàn.
By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) by love (agape) sincere,
7 Nínú ọ̀rọ̀ òtítọ́, nínú agbára Ọlọ́run, nínú ìhámọ́ra òdodo ní apá ọ̀tún àti ní apá òsì.
By the word (logos) of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 Nípa ọlá àti ẹ̀gàn, nípa ìyìn búburú àti ìyìnrere: bí ẹlẹ́tàn, ṣùgbọ́n a jásí olóòtítọ́,
By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
9 bí ẹni tí a kò mọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n a mọ̀ wá dájúdájú; bí ẹni tí ń kú lọ, ṣùgbọ́n a ṣì wà láààyè; bí ẹni tí a nà, ṣùgbọ́n a kò sì pa wá,
As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
10 bí ẹni tí ó kún fún ìbànújẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n àwa ń yọ̀ nígbà gbogbo; bí tálákà, ṣùgbọ́n àwa ń sọ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ dí ọlọ́rọ̀; bí ẹni tí kò ní nǹkan, ṣùgbọ́n àwa ni ohun gbogbo.
As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11 Ẹ̀yin ará Kọrinti, a ti bá yín sọ òtítọ́ ọ̀rọ̀, a ṣí ọkàn wa páyà sí yín.
O all of you Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
12 Àwa kò fa ìfẹ́ wa sẹ́yìn fún yín, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin fa ìfẹ́ yín sẹ́yìn kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wa.
All of you are not straitened in us, but all of you are straitened in your own bowels.
13 Ní sísán padà, ní ọ̀nà tí ó dára, èmi ń sọ bí ẹni pé fún àwọn ọmọdé, ẹ̀yin náà ẹ ṣí ọkàn yín páyà pẹ̀lú.
Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children, ) be all of you also enlarged.
14 Ẹ má ṣe fi àìdọ́gba dàpọ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn aláìgbàgbọ́, nítorí ìdàpọ̀ kín ni òdodo ní pẹ̀lú àìṣòdodo? Ìdàpọ̀ kín ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ sì ní pẹ̀lú òkùnkùn?
Be all of you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion has light with darkness?
15 Ìrẹ́pọ̀ kín ni Kristi ní pẹ̀lú Beliali? Tàbí ìpín wó ni ẹni tí ó gbàgbọ́ ní pẹ̀lú aláìgbàgbọ́?
And what concord has Christ with Belial? or what part has he that believes with an infidel?
16 Ìrẹ́pọ̀ kín ni tẹmpili Ọlọ́run ní pẹ̀lú òrìṣà? Nítorí ẹ̀yin ní tẹmpili Ọlọ́run alààyè; gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ọlọ́run ti wí pé: “Èmi á gbé inú wọn, èmi o sì máa rìn láàrín wọn, èmi ó sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn, wọn yóò sì jẹ́ ènìyàn mi.”
And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? for all of you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Nítorí náà, “Ẹ jáde kúrò láàrín wọn, kí ẹ sì yá ara yín si ọ̀tọ̀, ni Olúwa wí. Ki ẹ má ṣe fi ọwọ́ kan ohun àìmọ́; Èmi ó sì gbà yín.”
Wherefore come out from among them, and be all of you separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
18 Àti, “Èmi o sì jẹ́ Baba fún yín. Ẹ̀yin ó sì jẹ́ ọmọkùnrin mi àti ọmọbìnrin mi, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.”
And will be a Father unto you, and all of you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.
