2 Ukorintiyawa 7

1 Anan sunin, bara na tidinin nale alkawali nati kusu ati bite nanya nimung ile na mati nari ndinong nanya nidowo nin fi, tipezeru nlau nin feu Kutell.

With these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that pollutes either body or spirit, and, in deepest respect for God, aim at perfect holiness.

2 nari kutii na ti nati umong imemon inanzan ba sa tina nyofilo umong sa tina kata likara mon

Make room for us in your hearts. In no instance have we ever wronged, or harmed, or taken advantage of, anyone.

3 Na ina beling minu nani inti minu ncaa nkul ba bara na ina malu benlin minu idi nibinai bite tiku ligowe ti se ulai ligowe tutung.

I am not saying this to condemn you. Indeed, I have already said that you are in our heart, to live and die together.

4 nin nayi akone kan kiti min, indin foo figiri nin yunn, inkulau nin nayyi ashe.

I have the utmost confidence in you; I am always boasting about you. I am full of encouragement and, in spite of all our troubles, my heart is overflowing with happiness.

5 wadak Umakadoni, nidowa bite wa se ushinu b, nin nani tiwa se uni buri li dina va, ufizu nayi ndas nin feu bite.

Ever since we reached Macedonia, we have had no rest in body or mind; on every side there have been troubles – conflicts without, anxieties within.

6 nani Kutelle, ame ule na adin nukizu nibinai na le na nibinai mine nkete.

But God, who encourages the downcast, has encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.

7 Na nin dak mere cas b, tutung baramsheu nayi ana se kiti mine na awa beling nari libusine min, mine nkune kune nin cancam ndamuwa minwa mine nime in wa su ayi aboo kang.

And it is not only by his arrival that we are encouraged, but also by the encouragement which he received from you; for he tells us of your strong affection, your penitence, and your zeal on my behalf – so that I am happier still.

8 Sa andi iyer nighe na tiniminu seng nibinaiye, na inwa kpilia kibinae kidun ba kodashike mua kpilia na unwa yene iyert nige nata nibinaeye mine seng bara n nin kubi baat.

For, though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Even if I were inclined to regret it – for I see that my letter did cause you sorrow though only for a time –

9 In din lanzun mang nin nen, na bara i wa parda minu b, bara na ayi asirne mine nati inani na dak nin foo nacara ina use nimong bara arik ba.

I am glad now; not because of the sorrow it caused you, but because your sorrow brought you to repentance. For it was God’s will that you should feel sorrow, in order that you should not suffer loss in any way at our hands.

10 nani ayiasirne Kutelle na daminu ni foo nacara na unada pirin tucu sa ugitirnu ayiasirne yii na daknnin kull.

For, when sorrow is in accordance with God’s will, it results in a repentance leading to salvation, and which will never be regretted. The sure result of the sorrow that the world knows is death.

11 Yene imonile na uti kibinai kidiya kuu Kutelle nayiasirne na na nutun nanya mine ute kibinai kidege nanya mine man duro usali kulapi min, uyapina upunu kibinay, fiya pin fe, uyapin nari usaman, uyapin ushuu liti nin yapin usu nyenu isere kidegene see! nanya nimong vat idinin su iduro atimine ana sali kulapi nanya nle ulire

For see what results that other sorrow – sorrow in accordance with God’s will – has had in your case. What earnestness it produced! What explanations! What strong feeling! What alarm! What longing! What eagerness! What readiness to punish! You have proved yourselves altogether free from guilt in that matter.

12 Nin nanin ina yertin uldu kiti min, na ina yertin bara anan Kulapi b, sa bara ule na idin niu nin kulape ba bara na ushoo kibinai mine narik nan nutuno kidawo udu kiti mine nanya nizi Kutell.

So, then, even though I did write to you, it was not for the sake of the wrongdoer, or of the man who was wronged, but to make you conscious, in the sight of God, of your own earnest care for us. And it is this that has encouraged us.

13 Nanya nilele ita nari ayiakone nanyan kpinu inshau nibinai bit, tilanza mang, tutung bara Titus na infep me wase upenun funu bara anun vat.

In addition to the encouragement that this gave us, we were made far happier still by the happiness of Titus for his heart has been cheered by you all.

14 Bara andi iname reu figiri ninghe bara anun, na awa tiyi incin b, nafo na tiwa beling minu imong vat kidegen, nanere ufoo figiri nin Titus wa da da so kidegen nanere ufoo

Although I have been boasting a little to him about you, you did not put me to shame; but, just as every thing we had said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus about you has also proved to be the truth.

15 Nin mmang libiya me inyinu na ukarn, nafo na ana lizin mishau nati mine vat nafo na iwa serughe nin ketizu.

And his affection for you is all the greater, as he remembers the deference that you all showed him, and recalls how you received him with anxious care.

16 Mang na lanza mmang bara na indinin na na in dinin nanya ku ne inyinu

I am glad that I can feel perfect confidence in you.
