2 Corinthians 6

1 Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain.

Nipele uweji ŵatukupanganya masengo pamo ni Akunnungu, tukunchondelela nkautenda ntuuka wa Akunnungu mpela nganiukola masengo kukwenu.

2 For he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you. In a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.

Pakuŵa Mmalembelo Gamaswela Akunnungu akuti, “Pa katema kangu ka chanasa nampikene, ni pa lyuŵa lya ukulupusyo nankamuchisye.” Nnole, sambano kali katema ka chanasa cha Akunnungu ni lelo lili lyuŵa lya ukulupusyo!

3 We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,

Uweji ngatukusaka kuŵa chakukuŵasya chakwatenda ŵandu akasankulupilila Kilisito, kuti masengo getu ganalalatilwe.

4 but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

Nambo mu indu yose itukuipanganya tukulosya kuti, uweji tuli achikatumetume ŵa Akunnungu, kwa upililiu katema ka masausyo ni katema ka kusoŵekwa ni indu ni katema ka kulaga.

5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,

Twaputikwe ni twataŵikwe ni twasokolekwe pa ŵandu ni twapangenye masengo gakulimba, ni katema kakajinji twachesisye ni twatemi pangalya.

6 in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,

Tukulosya kuti uweji tuli achikatumetume ŵa Akunnungu kwa kutama chambone ni kwa umanyilisi ni kwa upililiu ni kwa umbone. Tukunkulupilila Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni tukwanonyela ŵandu kwausyene.

7 in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

Twalalichile utenga wa usyene kwa machili ga Akunnungu. Yakuputilana yetu yakulichenjela ni yakwaputila ili kupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.

8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report, as deceivers and yet true,

Tuli chile kuchimbilichikwa ni kujaluswa, kutukanwa ni kulapikwa. Tukuwoneka nti ŵaunami nambo tukuŵecheta usyene.

9 as unknown and yet well known, as dying and behold—we live, as punished and not killed,

Tukuwoneka mpela ŵangatukumanyika nambo tukumanyika nnope, twaputikwe nambo nganituwa, mpela inkuti pakulola uweji tuli ŵajumi.

10 as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.

Nachiŵamuno tukuwoneka mpela ŵakusupuka nambo tukusengwa moŵa gose. Nachiŵamuno tukuwoneka mpela ŵakulaga nambo tukwasichisya ŵajinji. Nachiŵamuno tukuwoneka mpela ŵangali chindu nambo tukwete indu yose.

11 Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.

Achalongo achinjangu ŵa ku Kolinto, tukungulwiche ni ŵanyamwe pangasisika, ni tukunnonyela ŵanyamwe kwa mitima jetu jose.

12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.

Nganitulisiŵila kunnonyela ŵanyamwe, nambo ŵanyamwe mpungwisye kutunonyela.

13 Now in return—I speak as to my children—you also open your hearts.

Sambano nguŵecheta ni ŵanyamwe mpela achiŵanangu nipele ŵanyamwe ntunonyele uweji mpela itutesile.

14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

Nkakamulana ni ŵandu ŵangakwakulupilila Kilisito pakuŵa kwana uganja chi pasikati ja umbone ni ungalumbana? Ana lulanga ni chipi komboleka kutama pamo?

15 What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever?

Ana kwana kwilana pasikati ja Kilisito ni Shetani? Ana ŵandu ŵakukulupilila ni ŵangakukulupilila akukombola kutama pamo ni kwilana?

16 What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

Sooni ana kwana kwilana pasikati ja Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kuipopelela inyago? Pakuŵa uweji tuli Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, Akunnungu ŵaali ŵajumi mpela iŵatite asyene, “Chindame mwa ŵelewo, ni chinjijenda pasikati jao. Chinjiŵa Akunnungu ŵao, nombewo chaŵe ŵandu ŵangu.”

17 Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.

Kwapele Ambuje akuti, “Ntyoche pasikati jao, nkalisepusye nawo. Nkakwaya chachili cha usakwa, noneji chinampochele.

18 I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.”

Ambuje jwali ni ukombole akuti yele, Chinjiŵa Atati ŵenu, ŵanyamwe chinchiŵa achiŵanangu.”
