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.

Ngoogv ajin vdwa sogv milvvnam mvnwng sum, ngonugv lvgabv mvpvkunv. Vkvlvgabv ngonu ngonugv ayak hala yalu a darwk madubv mvnv vdwa adu minsu lajuka. Ngonu Pwknvyarnvnyi mvngdv rungla okv singdung nga darwk dubv svngla juka.

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).

Ngonugv lvgabv nonugv haapok vdw ho dookudakku go mvji labvka! Ngonu yvvnyika rigakpanam go kaama; ngonu yvvnyika ngoomu namgo kaama, vmajvka yvvnyika dvkup namgo rikwma.

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.

Ngo sum minam si nonua mia dubv mima; ngo kvvlo mincho toku, sikujeka vmalo turku jeka nonuno ngonugv aya minsunam gubv ridu.

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.

Ngo nonua achialvbv jvjv rungbv mvngdunv; ngo nonua vbv googing dunv! ngonugv adwkaku mvnwnglo ngo vjaklodvbv achialvbv mvngrw mindunv; ngo kaiyaje bv himpu mindukunv.

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].

Ngonu Mesedonia lo vngchi kubvka, ngonu doonu dubvka paama. Hoka adwkaku yayabv rila, kvvbi vdwv yalung dumin sinya laku, ngonugv haapok lo busubv ritoku.

6 But God, who always encourages his people when they are discouraged, encouraged us by [sending] Titus back to us.

Vbvritola Pwknvyarnv nw haapok a mvngamvngja la doonv nga mvngrw dubv mvnvngv, Taitasnyi aamula ngonua mvngrw mopvkunv.

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.

Ninyigv aanam mvngchik lokv ngonua mvngpu dubv mvtwkma, vbvritola ninyia nonu oguaingbv mvngrw dubv mvpv nvdw um ninyigv ngonua minpanam lokv ta. Nw ngonua minpa toku nonu nga achialvbv kaanwng duku vla, nonu oguaingbv mvngkor pvkudw, oguaingbv nonuno ngam ringria dubv dooya dukudw; okv vkvlvgabv ngo vjak achialvbv mvngpu puya yaya dunv.

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.

Ngoogv siti lvkku lokv nonua mvngdwk mopv boloka, ngo ho siti lvkwngbv mvngkur madunv. Ngo mvngkor dubv rinv guilo nonua achukgo mvngru dubv kaari hoka mvngkor dunv pvyi.

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.

Vbvritola vjak ngo mvngpu duku, hv ngo nonua mvngru motobv vnam lokvma, nonunogv mvngru laila mvngdin kunam lokv. Ho mvngru angv hv Pwknvyarnv gv rinv nvnamgo, vkvlvgabv ngonu nonua alvmabv rinam go kaama.

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.

Ogulvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv mvngru ha rinvnvla haapok a mvngdin mola Ringnambaanam paamu yadunv—okv ho mvngkor kuse kaama! Vbvritola Nyi gv rinvnvnam mvngruv sinam a paamu dunv.

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.

Kaatoka nonunogv mvngrua Pwknvyarnv ogugo ripvkudw: vdwgo mvngdok rungnv gubv si nonua mvtoku, nonunogv nyingum pvtvr a vdwgo kaatam nwngduku! Vkvnv mvngdwk, lammunam, vkvnv hinam, mvnglwk jinam, rimur nvnga mvrit dubv doyanam! So gv ogu mvnwng so nonua rimur manv gubv kaatam rimu toku.

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].

Vkvlvgabv, ngo ho gv siti a lvkdaka, hv rimur rinv gv lvkwngbv vmalo rimur monv gv lvkwngbv lvkyama. Vmvbvya um ngo nonua chimpa moya dubv lvktoku, Pwknvyarnv gv kaagialo, nonugv ngonua tolwk sunam doonam mv vdwgo rungrwng dukunv um kaatam yala ripvnv.

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].

Vkvlvkwngbv ngonua mvngrw mopvnv. Ngonua hv mvngchik mvngrw moma; nonunogv Taitasnyi ridur laku mvngpu monam lokv ninyigv vbv mvngrw kunam lokv ngonuaka achialvgo mvngrw mata pvku.

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.

Nw gvlo ngo nonua hartv toku, okv nonuno nga mvngngamvngja momato. Ngonu lokia nonua jvjv nga minbwng jitoku, vkv aingbv ngonugv Taitasnyi hartv kunamv jvjv dukunyi vla kaapa moduku.

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].

Nonuno ninyia busula okv jinjinrumrum tola naarwk sunama, okv ninyigv minggap nama tvduridubv nonugv doya nama vdwlo mvngpa tokudw ninyigv haapok lo nonugv aolo ninyigv aya ngv haatin yaya duku.

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].

Ngo achialvbv mvngpu duku nonua ngo ogumvnwng nga mvngtin nyula kunamv!
