2 Corinthians 7
1 Nítorí náà, ẹ̀yin olùfẹ́, bí a ti ní àwọn ìlérí wọ̀nyí, ẹ jẹ́ kí a wẹ ara wá mọ́ kúrò nínú gbogbo ẹ̀gbin ti ara àti ti ẹ̀mí, kí a sọ ìwà mímọ́ dí pípé nínú ìbẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run.
Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in God's fear.
2 Ẹ gbà wá tọkàntọkàn; a kò fi ibi ṣe ẹnikẹ́ni, a kò ba ẹnikẹ́ni jẹ́, a kò rẹ́ ẹnikẹ́ni jẹ.
Receive us: we have injured no one, we have ruined no one, we have made gain of no one.
3 Èmi kò sọ èyí láti dá a yín lẹ́bi; nítorí mo tí wí ṣáájú pé, ẹ̀yin wà nínú ọkàn wa kí a lè jùmọ̀ kú, àti kí a lè jùmọ̀ wà láààyè.
I do not speak for condemnation, for I have already said that ye are in our hearts, to die together, and live together.
4 Mo ní ìgboyà ńlá láti bá yín sọ̀rọ̀; ìṣògo mí lórí yín pọ̀; mo kún fún ìtùnú, mo sì ń yọ̀ rékọjá nínú gbogbo ìpọ́njú wa.
Great [is] my boldness towards you, great my exulting in respect of you; I am filled with encouragement; I overabound in joy under all our affliction.
5 Nítorí pé nígbà tí àwa tilẹ̀ dé Makedonia, ara wá kò balẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n a ń pọ́n wá lójú níhà gbogbo, ìjà ń bẹ lóde, ẹ̀rù ń bẹ nínú.
For indeed, when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but [we were] afflicted in every way; without combats, within fears.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ń tu àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀ nínú, àní Ọlọ́run, ó tù wá nínú nípa dídé tí Titu dé,
But he who encourages those that are [brought] low, [even] God, encouraged us by the coming of Titus;
7 kì í sì i ṣe nípa dídé rẹ̀ nìkan ṣùgbọ́n nípa ìtùnú náà pẹ̀lú tí ẹ ti tù ú nínú, nígbà tí ó ròyìn fún wa ìfẹ́ àtọkànwá yín, ìbànújẹ́ yín, àti ìtara yín fún mi; bẹ́ẹ̀ ní mo sì túbọ̀ yọ̀.
and not by his coming only, but also through the encouragement with which he was encouraged as to you; relating to us your ardent desire, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I the more rejoiced.
8 Nítorí pé, bí mo tilẹ̀ ba inú yín jẹ́ nípa ìwé tí mo kọ èmi kò kábámọ̀ mọ́, bí mo tilẹ̀ ti kábámọ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀ rí; nítorí tí mo wòye pé ìwé mi mú yín banújẹ́, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé fún ìgbà díẹ̀.
For if also I grieved you in the letter, I do not regret [it], if even I have regretted it; for I see that that letter, if even [it were] only for a time, grieved you.
9 Èmi yọ̀ nísinsin yìí, kì í ṣe nítorí tí a mú inú yín bàjẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí tí a mú inú yín bàjẹ́ sí ìrònúpìwàdà: nítorí ti a mú inú yín bàjẹ́ bí ẹni ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run, kí ẹ̀yin má ṣe ti ipasẹ̀ wa pàdánù ní ohunkóhun.
Now I rejoice, not that ye have been grieved, but that ye have been grieved to repentance; for ye have been grieved according to God, that in nothing ye might be injured by us.
10 Nítorí pé ìbànújẹ́ ẹni ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run máa ṣiṣẹ́ ìrònúpìwàdà sí ìgbàlà tí kì í mú àbámọ̀ wá, ṣùgbọ́n ìbànújẹ́ ti ayé a máa ṣiṣẹ́ ikú.
For grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death.
11 Kíyèsi i, nítorí ohun kan náà yìí tí a mú yin banújẹ́ fún bí ẹni ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run, irú ìmúraṣíṣẹ́ tí ó mú jáde nínú yín, wíwẹ ara yín mọ́ ń kọ́, ìbànújẹ́ ń kọ́, ìpayà ń kọ́, ìfojúṣọ́nà ń kọ́, ìtara ń kọ́, ìjẹ́ni-níyà ń kọ́. Nínú ohun àmì kọ̀ọ̀kan yìí ni ẹ̀yin ti fi ara yín hàn bí aláìlẹ́bi nínú ọ̀ràn náà.
For, behold, this same thing, your being grieved according to God, how much diligence it wrought in you, but [what] excusing [of yourselves], but [what] indignation, but [what] fear, but [what] ardent desire, but [what] zeal, but [what] vengeance: in every way ye have proved yourselves to be pure in the matter.
12 Nítorí náà, bí mo tilẹ̀ tí kọ̀wé sí yín, èmi kò kọ ọ́ nítorí ẹni tí ó ṣe ohun búburú náà tàbí nítorí ẹni ti a fi ohun búburú náà ṣe, ṣùgbọ́n kí àníyàn yín nítorí wá lè farahàn níwájú Ọlọ́run.
So then, if also I wrote to you, [it was] not for the sake of him that injured, nor for the sake of him that was injured, but for the sake of our diligent zeal for you being manifested to you before God.
13 Nítorí náà, a tí fi ìtùnú yín tù wá nínú. Àti nínú ìtùnú wa, a yọ̀ gidigidi nítorí pé Titu ní ayọ̀, nítorí láti ọ̀dọ̀ gbogbo yín ni a ti tu ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ lára.
For this reason we have been encouraged. And we the rather rejoiced in our encouragement more abundantly by reason of the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
14 Bí mo tilẹ̀ ti lérí ohunkóhun fún ún nítorí yín, a kò dójútì mí; ṣùgbọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwa ti sọ ohun gbogbo fún yín ní òtítọ́, gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìlérí wá níwájú Titu sì jásí òtítọ́.
Because if I boasted to him anything about you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken to you all things in truth, so also our boasting to Titus has been [the] truth;
15 Ọkàn rẹ̀ sì fà gidigidi sí yín, bí òun ti ń rántí ìgbọ́ràn gbogbo yín, bí ẹ ti fi ìbẹ̀rù àti ìwárìrì tẹ́wọ́gbà á.
and his affections are more abundantly towards you, calling to mind the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
16 Mo yọ̀ nítorí pé ní ohun gbogbo, mo ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nínú yín.
I rejoice that in everything I am confident as to you.
