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.
Vanghane vango, ulwakhuva lulei nu lweideihano ulu, putweivalanche yufwe mumbombo nchooni inchikhutupela ukhuva va vwafu mumi veilei nghyeito na mu mepo. Pu tuvoulonde uvuvalanche mundudwaado lwa Nghuluve.
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).
Pu leinomutupinchangha ukhuta tuvenchanghe munumbula ncheinyo! Satunangile umunu uvei avenchangha. Hange kelelukhile munu.
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.
Saniita evwo ukhuta neivaheinginghe umwe. Pakhuva nemalile ukhuta umwe muleimunumbula ncheito, khulwufwe ukhufwa papaninie nukhutama pupaninie.
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.
Neilei nuvukifu vwingi inghati ndyumwe punikheinghinia savuli yeinyo. Nei deinghile ulunonchehencho nuluhekhelo na mbunkuveilwa vweito vwooni.
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].
Twa inchile khu Makedonia, eimiveilei nghyeito sangheileikhukekha puleino twale nuvubaneileinchivwa munjela nchooni munghati kwala neilinghoha khunji pulwale ludwaado.
6 But God, who always encourages his people when they are discouraged, encouraged us by [sending] Titus back to us.
Pulieno Unghuluve unyakhutunchesya tweilunsunsuvile atunchesinche pakhwincha kwa Tito.
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.
Sakhukhuta Unghuluve atunchesincha pakhwincha khwa Tito nukhwanghanila nave pa leino yale nalulunchesyo ulu u Tito alipeilile ukhuhuma khulyumwe, umwene aluvwene ulunghano lweinyu uluvaha ulumwale nalwo khumwene, ulunsunsuvalo lweinyu nukhunghimba kweinyo savuli yango. Pu lieno neivile nuluhekhelo ukhuluteila.
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.
Na pu yeingave eikalata yango yavapeliile ukhusisunsuvala, une pasanivavwa pa eilyo. puni vavwa pala upunivona eikalata eila yeikhavaveikha umwe nulunsunsuvalo. pope mwale nulunsansuvalo paseikhe udebe vuvule.
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.
Leino neileu nuluhekhelo, saneilei nuluhekhelo savuli mwale nuvupala, pu leino ulwakhuva ulunsunsuvalo lweinyo lwavanghenghile mukhupela inongwa imbivi. Mwakavile ulunsunsuvalo ulwa khe iNguluve, pu leino samwankuveilwe pavuvule savuli yeilo.
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.
Ulwakhuva ulunsunsuvalo ulwakhei Nguluve lwinghengha ulwa khei Nguluve lwinghengha ukhupela inongwa. Nukhukava uvoupokhi pakhusita ukhuva nulunsunsuvalo lwa nkeilunga pu leino lwingheingha uvufwe.
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.
Mulolanghe ulunsunsuvalo ulu ulwa khei Nghuluve lwaholile masangho makhi munghati ndyumwe. Nuvulamunchi vwa masangho ngheinyo vwale ndakheikhi pakhivonia ukhuta samwale nuvunangi. Pu ulusunsuvalo ulwa luvavo lweinyo, pulwale luvaha ndakheikhi uvudwadwa uvumwadwadangha, uvunonghwe vweinyo nuvounsukhwa vweinyo ukhuta uvwayeilweli vulondivwa ukhuvombekha! Mu mbombo nchooni pumweivonisye yumwe ukhuta sandeivanangi.
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].
Na pu yeingave niavasimbile umwe, syaniasimbe savuli yatulanongwa hange savuli yaula uveiakuvilwe mbutula nongwa. Neivasimbile ukhuta ukhweihumya khwa numbula nchienyo savali yeito yeipele ukhumanyeikheikha khweinyo pamiho ngha Nguluve.
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].
Savuli yaeiyei ukhuta tunchesivwa. Na ndunchesyo lweinyo putuleikhuhakhela, ukhuluteileila savuli ya Tito, pakhuva einumbula ya mwene yeihovosiwa numwe mweivooni.
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.
Pu leino neingave nia einghinche khumwene mundimenyu eilyavenchangha savuli yeinyo saniakonchivwe isoni. Pu leino ndumulwavavulile eilimenyu eilwutwanchovile khulyumwe lwale lya yeilweli, Ulweinghinwo lweito ukhukongana numwe khwa Tito yevonesya ukhuta lweli.
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].
Ulunghano lwa mwene savuli yeinyo pu avile imbaha ukhuluteileila, eingave munkumbukha uvweiseikhi vweinyo pakhuvomba, umumwamwambeilile umwene mbudwadwa nukhumweimeikha.
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].
Nihovokha ulwakhuva mumenyu nghooni neilenei numbula eingifu inghati ndyumwe.
