2 Abhakorintho 6
1 Na kulwejo, okukola smiling aamwi, echibhalembelesha emwe mtalamila echigongo cha Nyamuanga.
And working together also we call upon [you] that ye receive not in vain the grace of God —
2 Kwo kubha kaika, “Omwanya gunu gwekilisibwe naliga wakisi kwemwe, na kulusiku lwo mwelulo nabhasakiye.” Lola, woli ni mwanya gukilisibwe. Lola, woli no lusiku lwo mwelulo.
for He saith, 'In an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now [is] a well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,' —
3 Chitakutulayo libhui lwo kwijula imbele yo mumubhili wonawona, kwo kubha chitakola emiimu jeswe jisigwe okugaywa.
in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed,
4 Nawe mu jona, chilola abhene kwe bhikolwa byeswe bhona, ati chili bhakosi bha Nyamunga. Chili bhakosi bhae mu bwafu okunyasibwa, okukomela mubwikalo,
but in everything recommending ourselves as God's ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,
5 Okubhumwa, no kubhoywa, mu kukalashanya, okukomela emilimu kwa managa, okubhula jintilo mungeta, no kusalalila,
in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,
6 Mu bwichumichumi, mu bhumenyi, mu kwigumilisha, mu chigongo, mu mwoyo mwelu, mu kwenda.
in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,
7 Chili bhakosi bhae mu musango gwe chimali, mu managa ga Nyamuanga. Chili ne bhigwato ebyo bhulengesi koleleki mu kubhoko kwo bhulyo no kwe bhumosi.
in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left,
8 Echikola emilimu muchibhalo no kugaywa, kulwo kulomwa. Nokukusibha kubha bhabhei kanawe omwanya chili bha chimali.
through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report, as leading astray, and true;
9 Echikola emilimu koleleki chitakumenyeka na kutyo echimenyekana kisi. Echikola emilimu lwa bhachifwa na - Lola! - chili bhanga. Echikola emilimu lwa bhanu abhabhalilwa kwe bhikolwa byeswe nawe tali bhanu abhalamulwa okufwa.
as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened, and not put to death;
10 Echikola emilimu lwa bhanu abhasulumbala, nawesiku jona chili na likondelelwa. Echikola emilimu lwa bhataka nawe echibhanibya bhafu. Echikola emilimu lwa bhanu bhatali na chinu ka nawe bhali na byona.
as sorrowful, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
11 Chalomelwe bwe chimali bhona kwimwe, Abhakorintho, ne mitima jeswe igawe kwo bhunene.
Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart hath been enlarged!
12 Emitima jeswe jitakuganyibwa neswe, nawe omuganyibwa mwime abhene.
ye are not straitened in us, and ye are straitened in your [own] bowels,
13 Woli okuindulana enaika kwa bhana mwigale emitima jeswe kwo bhunene.
and [as] a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say [it], ) be ye enlarged — also ye!
14 Mutabhoyelwe amwi na bhanyatekilisha. Kwo kubha obhulengesi no bhubhibhi kutiki? Nolwo obwelu ne chisute chisigala kutiki?
Become not yoked with others — unbelievers, for what partaking [is there] to righteousness and lawlessness?
15 Bhulio bhungwaniki Kristo na Beliali? Amwi unu ekilisishe ali no mugabho ki amwi na unu atekilisishe?
and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?
16 Na bhulio bhungwani ki agati ya iyekalu ya Nyamuanga ne chisusano? Kwo kubha eswe ni yekalu ya Nyamuanga unu ali muanga, lwa kutyo Nyamuanga aikili: ati Niliyanja agati yebwe no kulibhata agati yebwe. Nilibha Nyamuanga webwe, nabho bhalibha bhanu bhani.”
and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said — 'I will dwell in them, and will walk among [them], and I will be their God, and they shall be My people,
17 Kulwejo, “Musoke agati, yebwe mwaukane nabho,” kaika Lata bhugeyi. “Mutakuniako chinu chili chijabhi, na ndibhakalibhisha emwe.
wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I — I will receive you,
18 Nikubha Esomwana kwimwe, nemwe mulibha bhana abhe chilume na bhe chiyala,” kaika Lata bhugenyi.
and I will be to you for a Father, and ye — ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.'
