2 Corinthians 13
1 This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”
Aaka nkachitatu aawo kandilikuza kulindinywe. “Kaambo koonse keelede kwaambuulwa kakali aabazi chakchitika babili nikuba batatu bakamboni.”
2 I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest that if I come again, I will not spare,
Ndakaamba kale kulibaabo bakabisya chiindi alimwi akuli boonse nindakali nkuko kwachibili, alimwi ndaamba lubo: Ndazooza lubo, tandikozoobalekelela pe.
3 seeing that you seek a proof of Messiah who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you.
Ndamwaambila eechi nkaambo mulikuyanduula bukamboni bwakuti Kkilisito uliikwaambula mukwiinda mulindime. Tawongedwe pe kulindime. Anukuti ulaanguzu mpati mulindinywe.
4 For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God towards you.
Nkabela wakabambuula mukukompama, pesi tuyoopona anguwe anguzu zyaLeza akati kanu.
5 Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Yeshua the Messiah is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
Amulilingule lwanu kuti mubone na muli mulusyomo. Mulisunke lwaenu. Tamuyeyi eechi na aatala alwanu, kuti Jesu Kkilisito uli mulindinywe? - kunze akuti, iyi, mwakakachilwa musunko.
6 But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.
Alimwi ndili aabulangilizi bwakuti muyooyeya kuti tatukachidwe pe musunko.
7 Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honourable, though we may seem to have failed.
Lino twakomba kuliLeza kuti mutakayiti chibi pe. Tandikombeli kuti pe tukalibonye akuzunda musunko. Anukuti ndikomba kuti mukachite chilikabotu, nikuba ngatulalibonya mbuli bakakachilwa musunko.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
Nkaambo tatukonzyi pe kuchita nikuba chimwi chintu chilwana akasimpe, pesi buyo kwakasimpe.
9 For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.
Nkinkaako tulakondwa na katukompeme alimwi kamusimide. Tuliikukomba lubo kuti mubambwe zizulide.
10 For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
Ndilemba zintu eezi kandili kule andinywe kuchitila kuti na kandili aandinywe nditazoochiti zyalunyemo andinywe mukubelesya cheelelo changu - eecho Mwaami nchakandipa kuchitila kuti ndimuyake, pe pe kumunyonyoona.
11 Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Kumamaninsizyo, bakwesu, mukondwe! Mubelekele kuchitululwa, amusungwaazigwe, muzuminane, mukkale muluumuno. Alimwi Leza waluyando aluumuno uyooba aandinywe.
12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.
Mujuzyanye alumyonto lusalala.
13 All the holy ones greet you.
Bantu basalali boonse baLeza balamujuzya.
14 The grace of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
Luzyalo lwaMwaami Jesu Kkilisito, luyando lwaLeza, alimwi bulyidilano bwa Muuya Uusalala bukabe aandinywe moonse.
