2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
Pawulu apositolo waKkilisito Jesu mumaknze aLeza aTimoteyo mukulana wesu kumbungano yaLeza ilimuKkolinto, akubantu baleza boonse basalali muchisi choonse cheAkkasia.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Luzyalo kaluba mulindinwe aluumuno buzwa kuli Leza Tata wesu aMwami Jesu Kkilisito.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
Alumbwe Leza aTata Mwami wesu Jesu Kkilisito. Ngu Tata waluzyao aLeza wakumbulizya koonse.
4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
Leza wakatumbulizya kumasukusyo esu woonse, kuti tukakonzye kumbulizya abo balimumasukuzyo. Tulumbulizya bamwi alumbulizyo ndulonya Leza ndwatumbulizya alo.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.
Mbuli machise aKkilisto mbwakavula nkambo kesu, lino aboobo kumbulizigwa kwesu kwakavulisya kwindila mumachise aKkilisito.
6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
Pesi na twapenzegwa, ndumbulizyo lwanu alufutuko; na twawumbulizigwa anwebo mwawumbulizigwa. Lumbulizyo lwanu lulokubeleka kabotu mukwabana kupenzegwa kukozyenye akwesu.
7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.
Bulangizi bwesu kulindinwe taluteketi: nkambo tulizi kuti mbumwabana mapenzi mwakabana, akumbulizigwa kwesu.
8 For we do not desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
Nkambo tatuyandi kuti muleke kuzibisigwa nobakwesu, atala amasukusyo ngitwakalawo muEziya. Twakali kulemenwa kwinda nguzu zyesu, lino kuti tutakate nikuba buumi bwesu.
9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
Iyii twakabetekelwa milandu yalufu. Pesi zyakali zyakuti tutabikki kusyomeka mulindiswe pesi muliLeza ubusya bafu.
10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us,
Wakatuvuna mumapenzi ajeya, uyotuvuna lubo. Mulinguwe twabika bulangizi bwakuti ulatuvuna.
11 you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.
Wazichita ezi mbuli mbumulokutugwasya ankombyo zyanu, mpawo bingi bayotulumbila nkambo kazipo zyaluzyalo nzitupegwa kulindiswe kwindila munkombyo zyingi.
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
Makanze akulisumpula kwesu ngaaya: kutaba aluzyalo kwesu kuntwakachita lwesu munyika abusalali abantu abuleza bwini kutaponena mubusongo bwanyama pesi muluzyalo lwaLeza.
13 For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end—
Takwe nchitwakalemba pe kulindinywe chitabaliki akumvwisikana ndasyoma kuti mulaba akumvwisisya kumaninide.
14 as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
Mbuli mbumwakatumvwa mubuche kuti mukalikankayizizye atala andiswe mubuzuba bwaMwami Jesu, mbuli mbutuyolikankayizya andinywe.
15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,
Nkambo ndakasimpe azezi ndalikuyanda kusanguna kusika kulindinywe kuti mutambule zipo zysluzyalo zyabili.
16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.
Ndalikuyeya kumuswaya nkinjindililakuyosika kuMasedoniya. Alubo ndayandide kumswaya ndakuzwa lubo mulwendo lwaku Masedoniy, akuti nkayindilile kuya kuJudiya.
17 When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”
Nindakachili kuyeya nzila eyi, ndakalengwana na? Sena ndibamba zintu munyama? Lino ndakati, “iyii, iyii “a “pe pe” muchindi chimwi?
18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”
Pesi mbuli Leza mbasyomekede, majwi esu kulindinywe tesi akuti “Iyii”a “pe.”
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”
Nkaambo Mwana aLeza, Jesu Kkilisito, oyo Silivanasi, Timoteyo andime ngutwakakupandulula akati kanu tensi “iyii” a “pe. Anukuti, ngu iyii kwalyoonse.
20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.
Nkambo zisyomezyo zyoonse zyaLeza ngu “iyii”Mulinguwe. Lino aboobo kwinda mulinguwe twamba kuti “Ameni” kubulemu bwaLeza.
21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,
Lino nguLeza uzuzikizya ndiswe andinywe muliKkilisito, wakatunanika swe.
22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
Wakadinda chidindo alindiswe akutupa muuya mumyoyo yesu mbuli chitondezyo chibola.
23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I did not come to Corinth.
Pesi ndayita Leza kuti abe kamboni amuuya wangu kuti tendakakkonzya pe kusika kuKkolinto lino kuti ndizomusiye.
24 We do not control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
Eechi tachambi kuti tuyanda kuba baami kulusyoma lwanu. Anukuti, tuli basimilimo nyokwe akukondwa kwanu, mbuli mbumwimvwi mulusyomo lwanu.
