2 Ba Kkolinto 1
1 Pawulu apositolo waKkilisito Jesu mumaknze aLeza aTimoteyo mukulana wesu kumbungano yaLeza ilimuKkolinto, akubantu baleza boonse basalali muchisi choonse cheAkkasia.
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God that is in Corinth, and to all the believers in the entire region of Achaia.
2 Luzyalo kaluba mulindinwe aluumuno buzwa kuli Leza Tata wesu aMwami Jesu Kkilisito.
May grace be to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Alumbwe Leza aTata Mwami wesu Jesu Kkilisito. Ngu Tata waluzyao aLeza wakumbulizya koonse.
May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be praised. He is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.
4 Leza wakatumbulizya kumasukusyo esu woonse, kuti tukakonzye kumbulizya abo balimumasukuzyo. Tulumbulizya bamwi alumbulizyo ndulonya Leza ndwatumbulizya alo.
God comforts us in all our affliction, so that we can comfort those who are in any affliction. We comfort others with the same comfort that God used to comfort us.
5 Mbuli machise aKkilisto mbwakavula nkambo kesu, lino aboobo kumbulizigwa kwesu kwakavulisya kwindila mumachise aKkilisito.
For just as the sufferings of Christ abound for our sake, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
6 Pesi na twapenzegwa, ndumbulizyo lwanu alufutuko; na twawumbulizigwa anwebo mwawumbulizigwa. Lumbulizyo lwanu lulokubeleka kabotu mukwabana kupenzegwa kukozyenye akwesu.
But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort. Your comfort is working effectively when you patiently share in the same sufferings that we also suffer.
7 Bulangizi bwesu kulindinwe taluteketi: nkambo tulizi kuti mbumwabana mapenzi mwakabana, akumbulizigwa kwesu.
Our expectation concerning you is unshaken, for we know that as you share the sufferings, you also share our comfort.
8 Nkambo tatuyandi kuti muleke kuzibisigwa nobakwesu, atala amasukusyo ngitwakalawo muEziya. Twakali kulemenwa kwinda nguzu zyesu, lino kuti tutakate nikuba buumi bwesu.
For we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the troubles we had in Asia. We were so completely crushed beyond our strength that we despaired even of life.
9 Iyii twakabetekelwa milandu yalufu. Pesi zyakali zyakuti tutabikki kusyomeka mulindiswe pesi muliLeza ubusya bafu.
Indeed, we had the sentence of death on us. But that was to make us not put our trust in ourselves, but instead in God, who raises the dead.
10 Wakatuvuna mumapenzi ajeya, uyotuvuna lubo. Mulinguwe twabika bulangizi bwakuti ulatuvuna.
He rescued us from such a deadly peril, and he will rescue us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us.
11 Wazichita ezi mbuli mbumulokutugwasya ankombyo zyanu, mpawo bingi bayotulumbila nkambo kazipo zyaluzyalo nzitupegwa kulindiswe kwindila munkombyo zyingi.
He will do this as you also help us by your prayer. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor given to us through the prayers of many.
12 Makanze akulisumpula kwesu ngaaya: kutaba aluzyalo kwesu kuntwakachita lwesu munyika abusalali abantu abuleza bwini kutaponena mubusongo bwanyama pesi muluzyalo lwaLeza.
We are proud of this: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world with holiness and godly sincerity, not relying on fleshly wisdom but on the grace of God.
13 Takwe nchitwakalemba pe kulindinywe chitabaliki akumvwisikana ndasyoma kuti mulaba akumvwisisya kumaninide.
We write to you nothing that you cannot read and understand. I expect that,
14 Mbuli mbumwakatumvwa mubuche kuti mukalikankayizizye atala andiswe mubuzuba bwaMwami Jesu, mbuli mbutuyolikankayizya andinywe.
as you have understood us in part, we will be your reason for boasting on the day of our Lord Jesus, just as you will be our reason to boast.
15 Nkambo ndakasimpe azezi ndalikuyanda kusanguna kusika kulindinywe kuti mutambule zipo zysluzyalo zyabili.
Because I was confident about this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might receive the benefit of two visits.
16 Ndalikuyeya kumuswaya nkinjindililakuyosika kuMasedoniya. Alubo ndayandide kumswaya ndakuzwa lubo mulwendo lwaku Masedoniy, akuti nkayindilile kuya kuJudiya.
I was planning to visit you on my way to Macedonia. Then I wanted to visit you again on my trip from Macedonia, and then for you to send me on my way to Judea.
17 Nindakachili kuyeya nzila eyi, ndakalengwana na? Sena ndibamba zintu munyama? Lino ndakati, “iyii, iyii “a “pe pe” muchindi chimwi?
When I was thinking this way, was I hesitating? Do I plan things according to human standards, so that I say “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?
18 Pesi mbuli Leza mbasyomekede, majwi esu kulindinywe tesi akuti “Iyii”a “pe.”
But just as God is faithful, we do not say both “Yes” and “No.”
19 Nkaambo Mwana aLeza, Jesu Kkilisito, oyo Silivanasi, Timoteyo andime ngutwakakupandulula akati kanu tensi “iyii” a “pe. Anukuti, ngu iyii kwalyoonse.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom Silvanus, Timothy and I proclaimed among you, is not “Yes” and “No.” Instead, he is always “Yes.”
20 Nkambo zisyomezyo zyoonse zyaLeza ngu “iyii”Mulinguwe. Lino aboobo kwinda mulinguwe twamba kuti “Ameni” kubulemu bwaLeza.
For all the promises of God are “Yes” in him. So also through him we say “Amen” to the glory of God.
21 Lino nguLeza uzuzikizya ndiswe andinywe muliKkilisito, wakatunanika swe.
Now it is God who confirms us with you in Christ, and he appointed us,
22 Wakadinda chidindo alindiswe akutupa muuya mumyoyo yesu mbuli chitondezyo chibola.
he set his seal on us and he gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee of what is to come.
23 Pesi ndayita Leza kuti abe kamboni amuuya wangu kuti tendakakkonzya pe kusika kuKkolinto lino kuti ndizomusiye.
Instead, I call God to bear witness for me that the reason I did not come to Corinth was so that I might spare you.
24 Eechi tachambi kuti tuyanda kuba baami kulusyoma lwanu. Anukuti, tuli basimilimo nyokwe akukondwa kwanu, mbuli mbumwimvwi mulusyomo lwanu.
This is not because we are trying to control what your faith should be. Instead, we are working with you for your joy, as you stand in your faith.
