< 2 Corinthians 2 >

1 But I determined this with myself, not to come to you again in sorrow.
Elyo ndakayeya kulubazu lwangu kuti sikoza kulinduwe muzyiindi zichiza.
2 For if I make you sorrowful, who is he then that can make me glad, but the same who is made sorrowful by me?
Na ndachita kuti umvwe kuchisa, nguni unga ulandisekelezya pesi oyo nguwenya ngundachisa moyo ime?
3 And I wrote this same to you; that I may not, when I come, have sorrow upon sorrow, from them of whom I ought to rejoice: having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
Ndalemba mbuli mbunda chita kuchitila kuti ndaza kulinduwe nditachisigwi moyo ababo belede kundichita kuti ndikondelelwe. Ndilalusyomo atala andinywe moonse kuti lukondelo lwangu lulikozyene alukondelelo ndimulalo.
4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not that you should be made sorrowful: but that you might know the charity I have more abundantly towards you.
Ndakulembela chakupengana kupati akuchisa kwamoyo, alubo amisozi mingi. Tendalikuyanda kuti ndikwetele kuchisa. Nkabela, ndalikuyanda kuti uzibe bukomezi bwaluyando ndwejisi kulinduwe.
5 And if any one have caused grief, he hath not grieved me; but in part, that I may not burden you all.
Kuti kuli wakachita kuti ube mumachise, teewaka zichita kulindime, pesi ayimwi nzila-kuti atakulemezyi - kulindinywe moonse.
6 To him who is such a one, this rebuke is sufficient, which is given by many:
Echi chisyubulo chamuntu oyu abinji zilikwene.
7 So that on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
Lino kwinda chisyubulo, mweelede kulekelela akumumbulizya we. Muchiteezi kuti atakatazigwi amawuse manji.
8 Wherefore, I beseech you, that you would confirm your charity towards him.
Ndamukumbila kuti mutondezye luyando kulinduwe.
9 For to this end also did I write, that I may know the experiment of you, whether you be obedient in all things.
Nkaambo nchenchicho nchindakamulembela, kuti ndimusunke alubo ndizibe kuti mulaswilila mulizyoonse.
10 And to whom you have pardoned any thing, I also. For, what I have pardoned, if I have pardoned any thing, for your sakes have I done it in the person of Christ.
Elyo mwalekelela muntu chintu, ambebo ndamulekelela oyo muntu. Nchindalekelela - kuti ndalekelela nchintu -chilalekelelwa nkaambo kanduwe mubube bwaKkilisito.”
11 That we be not overreached by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his devices.
Ezi zilobu kuti Satani atatchengi toonse. Nkaambo tatuli bafubafuba kumaano akwe.
12 And when I was come to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and a door was opened unto me in the Lord,
Mulyango wakajulwa kulindime aMwami ninda kaza kudolopo lyaTekisasi kuzokambawuka makani mabotu aKkilisito oko.
13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but bidding them farewell, I went into Macedonia.
Taakwe nindakaangunikide mu muuya nkaambo takwe nindakajana Tayitasi oko. Ndakabasiya alubo ndaya kuMasedoniya.
14 Now thanks be to God, who always maketh us to triumph in Christ Jesus, and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place.
Pesi alumbwe Leza unga muliKkilisito utuzulwida mukuzunda lyoonse. Kwindilila mulindiswe ulayubununa mununko unona waluzibo lwakwe koonse.
15 For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish.
Nkambo kuliLeza tuli tununkilizyo tunona muliKkilisito antomwe ababo baponede alubo akati kababo balikufwa.
16 To the one indeed the odour of death unto death: but to the others the odour of life unto life. And for these things who is so sufficient?
Kubantu balikufwa, nkanunkililo kazwa kulufu kaya kulufu. Kulibabo baponesegwa nkanunkilizyo kuzwa kubumi kuyakubumi. Nguni welede ezi zintu?
17 For we are not as many, adulterating the word of God; but with sincerity, but as from God, before God, in Christ we speak.
Nkaambo tatulimbuli bantu binji bawuzya ijwi lyaLeza kuti bajane mpindu. Asi kuti, akusalala kwamizezo, tulambula muliKkilisito, mbuli mbututumvwa kuzwa kuli Leza kubusyu bwaLeza.
