2 Corinthians 13

1 [In the Scriptures it is stated that when one person] accuses [another of wrongdoing, you must not believe his] accusation [right away]. [First, you must listen to at least] two or three people who actually saw what happened. [So keep in mind that] this will be the third time that I will visit you!

Kini karon mao ang akong ikatulo nga pag-anha kaninyo. Ang bisan unsa nga sumbong kinahanglan paluyohan sa pagpanghimatuod sa duha o tulo ka mga saksi.

2 When I visited you the second time, I warned you [that I was going to punish all the wrongdoers among you]. [And now] I am [warning you] again while I am still away [from you]. When I visit you this third time, I will punish those who were sinning [at the time when I visited you] before [and who are still sinning], and I will [punish] the others [who have been sinning since then, if they have not stopped their sinful behavior].

Gipasidan-an ko sila nga nagpakasala kaniadto ug ang tanang uban pa, ug magapasidaan ako karon kanila samtang wala pa ako karon diha uban kanila, maingon sa ako kaniadtong gibuhat diha sa akong ikaduha nga pag-anha, nga kon ako mahianha na gani diha pag-usab, pailhon ko gayud sila sa walay kokalooy

3 Because you have demanded that I prove to you that Christ is speaking [to you when] I [speak to you, I will show you that I speak to you as his apostle. Christ] does not approve of your sinful behavior. On the contrary, he will powerfully [discipline you].

sanglit nangita man gayud kaha kamo ug pamatuod nga si Cristo nagasulti pinaagi kanako. Siya dili mahuyang nganha kaninyo, hinonoa siya makagagahum diha kaninyo.

4 [It is true that] Christ [seemed to be] weak when he was crucified {when [people] killed him by nailing him to the cross}. But [it is also true that] he [now] lives because God [worked] powerfully [to bring him back to life. Similarly], as I [serve] God, I also am a weak human [being as Christ was]. But I also [have a close relationship with] Christ [who is now alive again]. And with his [authority] I will use God’s power [to discipline] you.

Kay bisan tuod siya gilansang sa krus gumikan sa kahuyang, siya nabuhi pinaagi sa gahum sa Dios. Ug bisan tuod kami mga mahuyang diha kaniya, alang kaninyo mabuhi kami uban kaniya pinaagi sa gahum sa Dios.

5 Each of you should ask yourself: “[Do I] believe [God’s message about Christ?]” Each of you should [examine yourselves to] make sure that you truly do [believe] in Christ [and so truly belong to him], and that [his Spirit lives] in you [(pl)]. When you examine yourselves [in that way], I am sure that you will [RHQ] say [to me], “Yes, of course we [belong to] Christ.”

Susiha ang inyong kaugalingon sa pagsuta kon kamo nagapadayon ba sa inyong pagtoo. Sulayi ang inyong kaugalingon. Wala ba ninyo masinati nga si Jesu-Cristo anaa sa sulod ninyo? gawas hinoon kon kamo nasuta pinaagi sa pagsulay nga kamo nangapakyas diay.

6 I am [also] certain that you will know that I [belong to Christ, just like you do].

Lauman ko nga inyong masuta nga kami wala mangapakyas.

7 But [because I do not want to have to punish you], I am praying to God that he will help you not to do anything evil [that would cause me to have to punish you. I pray this], not in order that when people [who say that I am not your apostle] realize [that my ministry among you has been very successful, they will have to agree] that I do have authority from Christ. Instead, [I pray this because I want] you to do what is right, even though that might mean that [my opponents would think] that I do not have authority from Christ, [since I would not have an opportunity to show my authority to discipline you].

Apan kami nangamuyo sa Dios nga unta dili kamo managbuhat ug dautandili aron sa pagpakita nga kami nanagmadaugon sa pagsulay, kondili aron unta kamo managbuhat sa matarung bisan kami ingon sa daw nangapakyas.

8 [If you do what is right, I will not discipline you], [because it would] not [be right for me to do that if you are conducting your lives the way you should, like] God’s true [message says that you should. What God asks me to do is to help people to know and obey his] true [message].

Kay wala kamiy arang mahimo batok sa kamatuoran, kondili ang pagdapig lamang sa kamatuoran.

9 I am happy [whenever] you are strongly [trusting and obeying Christ, and because of that I do not have to use my authority to discipline you. It does not matter to me if that makes people think that I do not have any authority]. Truly, what I am praying for is that [God] will [help] you to completely change your conduct.

Kay kami malipay sa diha nga kami mamahuyang ug kamo mamalig-on. Ang among gipangamuyo mao nga unta kamo mamahingpit.

10 That is why I am writing these things while I am still away from you. [What I want is that] when I visit you, [you will already be conducting your lives as God wants you to], and so I will not have to [discipline you] severely, as the [Lord Jesus Christ gave me] the authority to do. The authority that I have from the Lord is to help you to become [spiritually] mature believers, not to cause you to stop [trusting in him].

Tungod niining maong hinungdan, ako nagasulat niini samtang ako halayo kaninyo, aron nga sa ako unyang pag-anha diha dili na unta kinahanglan nga magmapiuton pa ako sa akong paggamit sa kagahum nga gihatag kanako sa Ginoo alang sa pagtukod kaninyo ug dili sa paglumpag kaninyo.

11 Finally, my fellow believers, [I say to you], be joyful. Completely [change how you conduct your lives], and do what I have urged you [to do]. Be united in what you think [about the matters about which I have written to you]. Live peacefully [with each other. If you do those things], God, who [enables you to] love [each other] and be peaceful, will bless [MTY] you.

Sa katapusan, mga igsoon, manamilit ako kaninyo. Usba ang inyong mga gawi, tumana ang akong mga tambag, panag-uyonay kamo ang usa sa usa, pagpuyo kamo nga magdinaitay, ug ang Dios sa gugma ug kadaitan magauban kaninyo.

12 Greet each other affectionately as [fellow members] of God’s family [should].

Magpangomostahay kamo ang usa sa usa pinaagi sa balaan nga halok.

13 All God’s people [here] send you greetings.

Ang tanang mga balaan nangomusta kaninyo.

14 [I pray that] the Lord Jesus Christ will act kindly [toward] all of you, in ways that you do not deserve, that God will [show all of you how much he] loves you, and that the Holy Spirit [will cause you to have good] fellowship [with him and with each other].

Ang grasya sa Ginoong Jesu-Cristo ug ang gugma sa Dios ug ang pakig-ambit sa Espiritu Santo magauban kaninyong tanan.
