2 Corinthians 13

1 This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”

Uwu ndi ulendo wachitatu ndikubwera kudzakuyenderani. “Nkhani itsimikizike ndi umboni wa anthu awiri kapena atatu.”

2 I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest that if I come again, I will not spare,

Ndinakuchenjezani kale pamene ndinali nanu ulendo wachiwiri uja. Tsopano ndikubwereza ndisanafike. Ndikabweranso sindidzachitira chifundo amene anachimwa poyamba paja kapena wina aliyense amene anachimwa,

3 seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you.

popeza mufuna chitsimikizo chakuti Khristu akuyankhula kudzera mwa ine. Iye siwofowoka pofuna kuchita nanu koma ndi wamphamvu pakati panu.

4 For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

Pofuna kutsimikizira, anapachikidwa ali wofowoka koma ali ndi moyo mwamphamvu ya Mulungu. Chomwechonso, ife ndife ofowoka mwa Iye, koma tidzakhala ndi moyo pamodzi naye ndi mphamvu ya Mulungu, potumikira pakati panu.

5 Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or do not you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

Tadzisanthulani nokha kuti muone ngati muli mʼchikhulupiriro; dziyeseni nokha. Kodi simuzindikira kuti Khristu Yesu ali mwa inu, ngati si choncho mwalephera mayesowa?

6 But I hope that you will know that we are not disqualified.

Ndipo ndikhulupirira kuti mudzazindikira kuti ife sitinalephere mayesowo.

7 Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may seem to have failed.

Tsopano tikupemphera kwa Mulungu kuti musadzachite kanthu kena kalikonse kolakwa. Osati chifukwa choti anthu aone kuti ife tapambana mayesowo koma kuti mudzachite zokhoza ngakhale anthu atamationa ngati olephera.

8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

Pakuti sitingachite chilichonse chotsutsana ndi choonadi, koma chokhacho chovomerezana ndi choonadi.

9 For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.

Ife timasangalala kuti pamene tafowoka, inu muli amphamvu; ndipo pemphero lathu ndi lakuti mukhale angwiro.

10 For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

Nʼchifukwa chake ndimalemba zinthu zoterezi pamene ndili kutali, kuti ndikabwera ndisadzagwiritse ntchito ulamuliro wanga mokalipa, uwu ndi ulamuliro umene Ambuye anandipatsa kuti ndikukuzeni inu osati kukuwonongani.

11 Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Potsiriza abale, ndikuti tsalani bwino. Yesetsani kukhala angwiro, mvetsetsani pempho langa, khalani a mtima umodzi, khalani mwamtendere. Ndipo Mulungu wachikondi ndi mtendere adzakhala nanu.

12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.

Lonjeranani ndi mpsopsono wachiyero.

13 All the saints greet you.

Anthu onse a Mulungu akupereka moni.

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

Chisomo cha Ambuye Yesu Khristu, ndi chikondi cha Mulungu, ndi chiyanjano cha Mzimu Woyera zikhale ndi inu nonse.
