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.
Nipele, achambusanga ŵangu pakuti tukwete ilanga yose yi menema tuliswejesye iilu ni mbumu ni tuŵeje ŵaswela mbee tuchitamaga nkwalamba Akunnungu.
2 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
Ntupochele mmitima jenu. Nganitunneŵela jwalijose atamuno kummulasya mundu jwalijose atamuno kunlambusya mundu jwalijose.
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.
Ngangusala yeleyi kwakunlamulila ŵanyamwe. Mpela inatite pakusala katasi kuti ŵanyamwe nli mmitima jetu, iŵaga mchiwa pane mkulama, tuli pamo.
4 Great is my boldness of speech towards you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
Uneji ngunkulupilila ŵanyamwe kwannope ni kulifuna kwaligongo lyenu. Nkulaga kwetu une nansyene ndusiswe ntima, ni lukondwa lwangu lwangali chiwani.
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.
Pakuŵa namose patwaiche ku Makedonia nganitukombola kupumulila mu iilu yetu. Twalasile mosemose, kwa paasa kwaliji kwana umenyani ni muntima mwaliji ni lipamba.
6 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
Nambo Akunnungu ŵakwatulasya mitima ŵakupwa ntima ŵatutulasisye mitima jetu pakwika Che 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.
Ni ngaŵa kwa kwika Che Tito pe nambo tupilikene imwatite pakuntulasya ntima. Atusalile inkuti pakulajila kumona ni inkuti pakusupuka kwa aila iyangopochele ni inkuti pakusaka kunjenjela une, chelecho chikusengwasya kwannope une.
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.
Nipele, namose nansupwisye kwa chikalata chila une ngangulilasika. Namuno nalilasiche kwa katema pe, ngangulilasika sooni, pakuŵa naimanyi kuti chikalata changu chansupwisye kwakatema pe.
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.
Sambano ngusengwa, ngaŵa ligongo mwasupwiche, nambo ligongo kusupuka kwenu kwantesile ngalauche ni kuleka sambi. Pakuŵa mwasupwiswe mpela yakuti pakusaka Akunnungu, kwapele nganitumpanganyichisya chachili chose changalumbana.
10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
Pakuŵa kusupuka kwakukuichiswa ni Akunnungu kukwapitikusya ŵandu mitima jao ni kuuleka sambi, ni kupochela ukulupusyo wangali kulilasika, nambo pachilambo kusupuka kwa chiundu kukunnyichisya mundu chiwa.
11 For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defence, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
Sambano nnole yaikopochele nkati mwenu kwaligongo lya kusupuka kwenu mpela Akunnungu yakuti pakusaka. Kuntesile mme ŵakuchalila kwannope kwakulosya kuti nganimpanganye chileŵo chachili chose. Mwapotekwe muntima ni kutojima, nkwete lung'wanu lwa kumona, ni nkunonyelana ni nkunlechela Akunnungu alamule. Kwa yailiyose nlilosisye kuti nganinkola chileŵo mu yele yose.
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.
Kwapele namose nanlembele, nganinanlembela ligongo lya jwaleŵile atamuno jwaleŵelwe. Nambo nasachile iloleche paujo pa Akunnungu inkuti pakutukamusya uweji.
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.
Kwapele twatusiswe mitima jetu. Ngaŵa kutuswa ntima pe nambo Che Tito ŵatusengwasisye kwannope kwaligongo lyakusangalala kwakwe pakuŵa mwaukonjisye ntima wao.
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.
Uneji nalilapile paujo pa Che Tito kwaligongo lyenu ni ŵanyamwe nganimundaga soni. Nambo kila chindu chitunsalile chaliji usyene ni kunlapa ŵanyamwe paujo pa Che Tito chaliji chindu cha usyene.
15 His affection is more abundantly towards you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
Unonyelo wakwe kukwenu ukupunda nnope paakukumbuchila ŵanyamwe wose imwatite pakwitichisya ni imwatite pakumpochela kwa ntima ni kwa kunchimbichisya.
16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
Ngusangalala pakuŵa ngukombola kunkulupilila ŵanyamwe mu indu yose.
