2 Corinthians 7
1 My friends, whom I love, because [God] has promised [to accept us(inc) as his children], we [(inc)] must stop doing anything that is sinful. We must not do sinful things with our bodies, and we must not [think] sinful thoughts. [Because] we greatly revere God, we must strive to [live] a completely pure life. By doing that we will become the kind of people that he wants us to be.
An de sa ma hem shi, sa a'inko duru agino abanga abanga me, ca ti kpici ace aru me anyimo kode iya imum izenze be sa idi kem apum aru wan anyimo muriba muru me, wa anu uhira ugitak wasere anyimo ati cukum iriba ilau.
2 So, as I just wrote, I want you to love me (OR, us [IDM] [who are true apostles of Christ]). I/we [(exc)] have never done anything wrong to any of you. I/we have not done anything to harm any one of you spiritually or financially. And I/we have not tried to get money from [you] (for myself/for ourselves).
Vete nin muriba mushi me! in haru daki ta rii iri mum ishi me ba, daki ta cari uye ushi nizani ba. Daki ta huu uye ushi me ba.
3 [It is true that some people among you have said that I have done such things. Nevertheless], I am not trying to make you all feel ashamed because, as I wrote before, I will continue to love you all very much [IDM], whether I live with you or die with you. I am very confident about you.
Azo me, agi in nya shi tiyari tini ya wuna ma buka shi ani me, barki mamu buka shi, imum ihem ini izi ahira aru me kagk, nyanini tidaa ti vengize, uharzina uzoni.
4 I am very pleased with you. You have greatly encouraged me, so that I am now very joyful in spite of all the hardships that I have endured.
Ma kaba shi intari tire, in kuri in hiri shi wani. Iriba imme iciki in nikara. Vat uyomko uge be sa azi duru ni inzi na puru arum akadura.
5 Now [I will write more about what I was saying about Titus]. When I [left Troas and] came [here to] Macedonia [province], I still did not get any rest. Everywhere we [(exc)] went, [people were constantly] causing us trouble. [And not only were] people [constantly causing us] trouble, but I was greatly concerned [about you all].
Uganiya sa ta e amanyanga Makidoniya daki ta kem uguna ti venke ba, abini me, a meki unyanki uru uraa akode uya una, amatara imum ya corno me, a ukunna iyau be anyimo a muriba muru me.
6 But God, who always encourages his people when they are discouraged, encouraged us by [sending] Titus back to us.
Abini me Asere, sa me mani ma wuza anu uzatu akara iriba i-ho, madusa ma nyan duru iriba i-ho barki u aye Utitus.
7 I was encouraged by [seeing] Titus, [but when I heard how] you had encouraged him, that encouraged me even more. He told me how much you wanted [to see me. He told me] that you were very sorry [that you had made me so unhappy. He also told me] that you are very eager for me [to continue to serve as your apostle. When Titus told me those things], I was very, very happy.
Azo me uye Titus cas, wanu wuna iriba i-ho igino me sa ma kem a hira ashi me, uganiya sa ma bukin duru izinu ubee um, izinu inso umuriba, ya kuri ya nya acennan unu tarsa amaru am, ma kuri ma wunaniriba irum kang.
8 Even though what [I wrote] in my letter (distressed you/made you sad), I am not sorry [that I wrote it]. For a while I was sorry that I had written it, [because I knew that it would distress you]. Now [Titus has also told] me that it did distress you [when you read it], but you were distressed only for a short time.
Ucara iriba me sa maa cari shini uganiya sa ma nyetike in tuburko a'e shi ni, mi izo menina puru abit ni, innu wuna ugino, sa ya zi maziki apuru abit barki iri unyetike ugino me wa cari shi muriba ni, sa ma waa ziki shi uganiya uni kaf.
9 [So now] I am happy [that I wrote it]. I am not happy that you were distressed {that [I] distressed you}, but [I am happy] because, when you became distressed, you felt sorry for what you had done and [you asked God to forgive you. What I mean is that you felt sorry in the way that God wanted you to feel sorry, so my making] you feel sorry did not harm you at all.
Akani ige me, in zini iriba irum, azo agi barki iriba ibit ishi me sa ya wuu, barki apuru abit aru me anwuu hem in tize me, barki ya wuu apuru abit gusi agebe sa Asere ma nyara. Barki ani me daki ya kem urizo utize me anyimo aru me.
10 [The fact is that] when God causes [us to feel] truly sorry for having sinned and we turn from our sinful behavior, then God saves us [and will not punish us for the sinful things that we have done]. And no one is ever sorry about that. [However], the people who do not trust [in God] [MTY] may be sorry [for the sinful things that they have done]. But [if they do not turn from their sinful behavior and ask God to forgive them], they will remain separated from him forever.
Gusi apuru abit be Asere a wuza anun, une uni utarsa anabu wa kabi ta Asere nan unu kem ubura, uda ezze me unu guna daki ma rusa ini, apuru abit abnga unee a hungo iwono.
11 But [think about what happened when you read my letter]: God caused you to be truly sorry [for what you had done]. You eagerly [wanted to do what was right], and you wanted to show [God] (OR, [me]) that you had done the right thing. You were angry [about what had happened], and you were worried [that God would punish you if the situation continued]. You also wanted me [to visit you to encourage and help you]. You wanted me to know [that you really do accept me as your apostle, and that you punished the man who had sinned, as I told you to do. By doing] all of those things, you have shown [me] that you have done what is right in this matter.
Irani usasana apuru abit age me, sa Asere a nyara awuu ani anyimo a muriba mushi, nan ina be sa ya wuzin tini barki abarka tanu tishi me, nan nu kunna iriba be sa ya zin nan nu inko iriba ubarka acce ashi me. Anyimo igino imum me, ya bezi uguna kode daki ya cara abanga ni ba.
12 So, even though I wrote that [severe] letter to you, I did not [write it just] so that [you would punish] the man who had done what was wrong. Also, I [did not write it] for the benefit of the person whom [he] had wronged. Instead, [I wrote it] so that, when you [read the letter], God would enable you to realize how much you really do respect [my authority].
Ana me sa izi guna ma nyertike in tuburko shinin, azo me anicce ni de sa aburi me, imum anyara a bezi uguna u'intan duru me merum ahira Asere.
13 So, [because you listened to me and did what I asked you to do], (I was/we [(exc)] were all) encouraged. Not only (was I/were we) encouraged, but (I was/we [(exc)] were) [also] very happy to see how happy Titus was [when he arrived here. He told me/us that] he did not need to worry any more, because [he saw] that you all [had a good attitude toward me].
Barki ani me ani, iriba iru iciki in nikara, ukinki abanga anikara niriba iru, kani me tizi ini riba iru kang barki Titus, barki ya ruma me iriba.
14 I had told Titus that I was pleased about you. And I did not need to be ashamed [for feeling that way about you, because you did what I knew that you would do]. Just like everything that I have taught you [and written to you] has been the truth, the good things that I told Titus about you were also true.
Barki uguna inki inzini vengize bigiri in shi ahira ameme, mu'i mu zoni ahira am. Ure ugunkuno, gusi vat imum be sa ta buka shi kadure kani kazi, ani me ani izi uvengize igiri iru me ahira a Titus ya kadure kani.
15 Now he happily remembers how you all [were willing to] do [what I asked you to do]. He is [also happy about the way you] treated him with great respect. [When he thinks about those things], [it makes] him love you even more [than he did when he was with you].
Iriba ime me raa ahira ashi me, iteki ituba piit, u ganiya be sa inki ma ringin unu tarsa me sa ya tarsi me vat ushi, nan nu kaba me sa ya kabi me una uni nonzo, n igo wan unu inta ume memerum.
16 [As for me], I am very happy [because now] I am certain that I can depend on you [to do what you know God wants you to do].
Inzi ini iriba irum, barki shi ana kadure kani.
