2 Corinthians 7
1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Arata akwa endwa, kuona atĩ nĩtwĩrĩirwo maũndũ macio-rĩ, nĩtwĩtheriei, tũtigane na ũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũthũkagia mũndũ mwĩrĩ na roho, na tũhingagie ũhoro wa ũtheru nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra Ngai.
2 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
Atĩrĩrĩ, tũhei handũ ngoro-inĩ cianyu. Tũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ tũhĩtĩirie, na tũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ tũthũkĩtie, na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ tũhinyĩrĩirie.
3 I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
Ndiroiga ũguo nĩguo ndĩmũtuĩre; nĩnjugĩte rĩngĩ atĩ mũrĩ na handũ thĩinĩ wa ngoro ciitũ, kuona atĩ tũgũtũũra muoyo kana tũkuanĩre na inyuĩ.
4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
Ndĩ na ũũmĩrĩru mũnene ngĩmwarĩria; nĩndĩĩrahaga mũno nĩ ũndũ wanyu. Mathĩĩna-inĩ maitũ mothe, nĩngoragwo nyũmĩrĩirie mũno, na gĩkeno gĩakwa gĩgakĩrĩrĩria.
5 For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
Nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa twakinyire Makedonia, mwĩrĩ ũyũ witũ ndwagĩire na kĩhurũko, no gũthĩĩnio twathĩĩnagio o harĩa hothe twathiiaga; kũu nja kwarĩ na ngũĩ, na ngoro-inĩ ciitũ twarĩ na guoya.
6 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
No Ngai ũrĩa ũhooragĩria arĩa makuĩte ngoro, nĩatũhooreririe nĩ ũndũ wa gũũka gwa Tito,
7 and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
na to ũndũ wa gũũka gwake gwiki, no ningĩ nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoorerania ũrĩa mwamũheete. Nĩatũheire ũhoro wa ũrĩa mwendaga kũnyona, na kĩeha kĩnene kĩrĩa mũrĩ nakĩo, o na ũrĩa mwĩtangaga mũno nĩ ũndũ wakwa; nĩ ũndũ ũcio gĩkeno gĩakwa gĩkĩongerereka gũkĩra mbere.
8 For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.
O na ingĩkorwo nĩndatũmire mũgĩe na kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa marũa makwa-rĩ, ndikwĩrira. O na gũkorwo kũrĩ hĩndĩ nderirire nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nguona atĩ marũa makwa nĩmamũiguithirie kĩeha, no nĩ gwa kahinda o kanini,
9 I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
no rĩu ndĩ na gĩkeno, ti tondũ nĩmwaiguithirio kĩeha, no nĩ tondũ kĩeha kĩanyu nĩgĩatũmire mũhere. Nĩgũkorwo mwagĩire na kĩeha o ta ũrĩa Ngai endaga, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio ithuĩ tũtirĩ ũndũ mũũru o na ũmwe twamwĩkire.
10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
Kĩeha kĩrĩa kiumanĩte kũrĩ Ngai kĩrehaga ũhoro wa kũhera kũrĩa gũtũmaga andũ mahonoke, na gũtirĩ wĩriraga gwĩka ũguo, no kĩeha kĩa maũndũ ma thĩ kĩrehaga gĩkuũ.
11 For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
Atĩrĩrĩ, ta kĩonei kĩeha kĩu kiumanĩte na Ngai kĩrĩa gĩciarĩte thĩinĩ wanyu: nĩgĩtũmĩte mũgĩe na kĩyo kĩnene, o na wendo mũnene wa gwĩkũũra, na gwakanwo nĩ ngoro, na kĩmako, na kwĩrirĩria kũnene, na kwĩrũmbũiya, o na wetereri wa kuona atĩ kĩhooto nĩkĩahingio. Maũndũ-inĩ mothe-rĩ, nĩmwĩonanĩtie inyuĩ ene atĩ mũtirĩ na ũcuuke ũndũ-inĩ ũyũ.
12 So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o na gwatuĩka nĩndamwandĩkĩire marũa-rĩ, ndiamaandĩkire nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ ũrĩa wehĩtie, kana nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa wahĩtĩirio, no nĩgeetha mũhote kũmenya inyuĩ ene mũrĩ mbere ya Ngai ũrĩa mwĩheanĩte nĩ ũndũ witũ.
13 Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
Maũndũ maya mothe-rĩ, nĩmo matũmĩte tũũmĩrĩrio. O ũndũ ũmwe na kũũmĩrĩrio gwitũ-rĩ, makĩria nĩtwakenire nĩ ũndũ wa kuona ũrĩa Tito aakenete, tondũ roho wake nĩwekĩrĩtwo hinya nĩ inyuĩ inyuothe.
14 For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
Nĩnderahĩire Tito nĩ ũndũ wanyu, na inyuĩ mũtianjonorire. No o ta ũrĩa maũndũ mothe marĩa twamwĩrire maarĩ ma ma-rĩ, noguo kwĩraha gwitũ nĩ ũndũ wanyu harĩ Tito o nakuo gũtuĩkĩte ũhoro wa ma.
15 His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
Naguo wendo ũrĩa amwendete naguo nĩũkĩrĩrĩirie kũneneha aaririkana ũrĩa inyuothe mwaathĩkire, na ũrĩa mwamwamũkĩrire mũrĩ na gwĩtigĩra na kũinaina.
16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
Ndĩ na gĩkeno tondũ rĩu ndĩ na mwĩhoko mũkinyanĩru thĩinĩ wanyu.
