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.
Bakundi bama baluzolo, sumbu tubeki zitsila ziazi, bika tukivedisa mu mambu moso momo malenda sumuna nitu ayi pheve mu diambu di dukisa bunlongo bueto mu kinzikanga Nzambi.
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).
Lutuvangisila bibuangu mu mintima mieno bila kadi mutu buna luidi tusia vangila mbimbi ko. Tusia yiba mutu ko; tusia baka bima bi mutu mu diela di mbimbi ko!
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.
Bika sia ti bila ndintubila mambu mama mu diambu ndilubedisa. Nana bila ndituama ku lukamba ti luidi mu mintima mieto; buba mu luzingu voti mu lufua.
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.
Diana dinneni didi yama mu diambu dieno ayi ndieta kukiniemisabuwombo mu diambu dieno. Bila ndikindusu buwombo ayi khini yiwombo ndimmona mu ziphasi zieto zioso.
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].
Bila mu thangu tutula ku Maseduani, tusia baka kadi buvundila ko vayi tumona ziphasi zi phila mu phila; khindu ku nganda ayi tsisi mu khati.
6 But God, who always encourages his people when they are discouraged, encouraged us by [sending] Titus back to us.
Vayi Nzambi, niandi weta kindisa batu bobo badi bavonga, wutukindisa mu thangu Tite kayiza.
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.
Bika sia ti ndizulu andi yawu kaka yitukindisa vayi mu diambu di khindusulu yi kabaka kuidi beno. Wutukamba lukanu lungolo luidi yeno mu kumbona, wutukamba kiadi kieno ayi luzolo lueno luwombo mu minu. Mamoso momo maluta buela kumbonisa khini.
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.
Ka diambu ko enati kiadi ndilumonisa mu diambu di nkanda wowondilufidisa, buna ndikadi kudiniongina. Muaki enati ndinionga diodi didi mu diambu ndimmona ti nkanda beni wulumonisa phasi mu ndambu thangu.
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.
Buabu khini ndimmona, bika sia ti mu diambu di bu luba mu kiadi, vayi mu diambu di kiadi kieno kilunata nate ku balula mavanga. Bila kiadi beni kiba mu luzolo lu Nzambi; tusia kuluvangila kadi mbimbi ko.
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.
Bila kiadi kioki kidi mu luzolo lu Nzambi kimbutanga mbalululu yimavanga, yoyi yinnatanga ku phulusu ayi bayi nionginanga ko. Vayi kiadiki ntoto kieta nata lufua.
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.
Bila kiadi kioki kidi mu luzolo lu Nzambi kimbutanga mambu mama mu beno: lueka bufula buwombo mu beno; ndombolo yi nlemvo, lueka tina mambu mambimbi, lueka mona tsisi, lueka mona phuila yiwombo mu kumbona, bufula buwombo lueka mu kisalu, bufula buwombo mu tumbudila mutu vengi mbimbi. Lumonisa ti luisi zaba diambu dimosi ko mu mambu beni.
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].
Bila ndilusonikina, bika sia ti mu diambu mutu wowo wuvangambimbi voti mu diambu di mutu wowo bavangila mbimbi vayi mu diambu bufula bobo luidi mu beto bumonika va meso ma Nzambi.
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].
Mu diambu di mamoso momo, beto tukindusu. Va yilu khindusulu yoyi va buelama diaka khini yinneni mu mona khini yiba mu Tite, mu tala phila lumbuisila ntimꞌandi.
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.
Enati ndikiniemisa fioti va ntualꞌandi mu diambu dieno, ndisia fuisu tsoni ko vayi banga bu tueti kulukamba mambu ma kiedika mu zithangu zioso; diawu niemisa koko tueti kukiniemisa mu diambu dienova ntuala Tite kuidi ku kiedika.
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].
Ayi luzolo luandi kuidi beno kuidi lungolo bu keta yindula tumamana kueno beno boso, phila yoyo luntambudila ku tsi boma ayi lukhuku.
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].
Khini yiwombo ndimmona mu tala ti ndilenda kulusilanga diana mu mambu moso.
