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:

Paulusi, muapositola wa Jesu Kreste che ntato ye Ireeza, mi Timoteya mukwetu, ku nkereke ye Ireeza ina mwa Korinte, ni kuva zumina vonse vena muchilalo cha Akaiya.

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Chisemo chive kwenu ni nkozo kuzwila kwe Ireeza ishetu ni Simwine wetu Jesu Kreste.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

Ireeza ni Ishetu, cha Jesu Kreste Mfumwetu a tembwe. Nji yena Isii wa chisemo ni Ireeza wavo vonse va ombaombwa.

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.

Ireeza u tuombaomba muma sukuluka etu onse, ili kuti naswe tuombaombe bena mu masukuluko. Tu ombaomba vamwi sina Ireeza mwa va tuomba-ombeli.

5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

Sina masukuluko a Kreste ava letwa chetu, linu niku ombaombwa kwetu kutu leta hamwina cha Kreste.

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.

Kono ni hatu sukulwa, nji mukuti muwane ku ombaombwa ni impuluso. Imi hatu omaombwa, ku ombaombwa kwenu. Ku ombaombiwa kwenu kuseveza sinte chimuli kauhanyeze masukuluko chenkulo inde sina iswe mutuva sukulukili.

7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.

Imi insepo yetu kwenu inkando, twizi sina nanwe hamuli kauhanyeza masukuluko, nanwe mulikauhanyeze ku ombaombwa.

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.

Linu katusaki kuti kanzi mwi zivi vakwangu, cha masukuluka atuva wani mwa Asiya. Tuva pwacolwa chakuhitiliza ahulu kuhita mutu va kuwolela kuchihindila, mane kana tuva kusepa kuti tusi wola kuhala hape.

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,

Chavu sakusima, tuvena inkatulo yefu hetu. Kono, ivali kutu pangila kuti kanzi tulisepi iwe tuvene, kono tusepe Ireeza, yo vuusa vafwile.

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,

Njiyena yavatu lamuleli kwi nkozi ivilala, imi, katulamulele hape, Tuva tuli insepo yetu kwali, kuti tulukule kwi nkozi hape.

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.

Katende ichi sina inwe hamu tu tusa cha mirapelo yenu. Linu, vungi kavahe vwitumelo cha chisemo chituhelwe 'kwetu che ntapelo zava vangi.

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.

Tuli kumusa chechi; vupaki cha lizwalo lyetu. Mukuti mihupulo milotu ni kusepahala kuzwililila kwe Ireeza sina mutu batendeli iswe munkanda. Tuva tendi bulyo cha vungi nanwe- isiñi cha vutali vwe nkanda, kono cha chisemo che Ireeza.

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—

Katu miñoleli zintu zi musa oli kuvala kapa kuzuwisisa. Ni sepa ka mutu zuwisise chakwizula,

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.

sina hamu va tuzuwi kanini hanu. Linu mwizuva lya Mfumwetu Jesu katuve twi vaka lyenu lya kuli temba, sina mwete mu vile vetu.

15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,

Mukuti nivena insepo kwa mana nezi, Niva kusaka kukeza kwenu intanzi, linu kuti mutambule mipuzo cha mipotelo yo vele.

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.

Ni vaku lela ku mipotela chini kaya kwa Masedoniya. Linu hape ni vaku zeza kumi potela chini kazwa kwa Masedoniya, ni kuti inwe ze munitumine munzila yangu kuya kwa Judeya.

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?”

Linu hani vali kuhupula buti, niva kuhakanyeha? Kana nilela zintu mukulukela cha buntu, linu niti “Eni, eni.” mi “Awa, awa” chenako iswana?

18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”

Kono sina Ireeza yo sepahala katuti vulyo zonse “Eni” ni “Awa.”

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.”

Mukuti mwana e Ireeza, Jesu Kreste, ka Silvanasi, Timoteya, ni va kutazi mukati kenu, kena “Eni” kapa “Awa.” kuhita kuti nji “Eni” chenako yonse.

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.

Mukuti insepiso zonse ze Ireeza nji “Eni” chakwe. Linu, chakwe iye mwine tuti “Amen” kwi kanya ye Ireeza.

21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

Hahanu, nji Ireeza yo tunyakisisa nanwe Kreste, imi ava tu tumi.

22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

Ava tuviki luswayo mi chatuha luhuho mwi nkulo zetu kuti ive chisupo cha chete natuhe.

23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I did not come to Corinth.

Kuhita kuti, ni sumpa Ireeza kuti ave mpaki yangu mwi vaka anisena nivezi kwa korinte ivavi kuti nimi sileleze.

24 We do not control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

Izi kena kuti tusaka kuyendisa entumelo yenu mwi swanela kuvila. Kuhita kuti, tukwete kuseveza nanwe kuti muve nentavo, sina hamu zimene muntumelo yenu.
