2 Abhakorintho 13

1 Lunu nilwo olwa kasatu ati enija kwemwe. “Bhuli omusango ni bhusibhusi gulomwe na bhanu bhabhili amwi bhasatu.”

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

2 Nambile okubhabwila ati kwabho abhobhakolele echibhibhi kala na kubhandi bhona omwanya naliga niliyo lwa kabhili, ne naika lindi ati: Nilibha, naja lindi, nitabhafwila chigongo.

I said before, and now say beforehand, as when present the second time, so also absent now, to those who have sinned before, and to all the others, that if I come again, I will not spare;

3 Enibhabwila emwe linu kwo kubha omuyenja chimenyegesho ati Kristo kaikila okulabhila mwanye. Omwene atali mulenga kwimwe, nawe ali na managa kwimwe.

since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who towards you is not weak, but is mighty among you.

4 Kwo kubha abhambilwe kulwo bhulenga, nawe ni muanga kwa managa ga Nyamuanga. Kwo kubha eswe ona chili bhalenga munda yaye, nawe chili bhaanga kwa managa ga Nyamuanga kwimwe.

For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live together with him by the power of God toward you.

5 Ni mwilole abhene mulole alabha muli mu likilisha. Mwilegeje abhene. Mutakumenya ati Yesu Kristo ali amwi nemwe?

Try yourselves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless ye are unapproved?

6 Nawe eniikanya ati emwe mulimenya ati eswe chitalemselwe.

But I trust that ye shall know, that we are not unapproved.

7 Woli echisabwa Kunyamuanga ati musige okukola chona chona chibhibhi. Nitakusabwa ati eswe chitule okubhonekana okulabhila amasakwa, nawe enibhasabwa ati mukole jinu jiile, Nawe echitula okubhonekana chisingilwe amasakwa.

Now we pray to God that ye do no evil; not in order that we may appear approved, but that ye may do what is good, though we be as unapproved.

8 Kwo kubha eswe chitakutula okukola lyona lyona inyuma ye chimali, nawe koleleki muchimali ela.

For we have no power against the truth, but for the truth.

9 Kwo kubha echikondelwa omwanya gunu chili bhalenga nemwe mukabha na managa. Echisabwa ona ati mukumile.

For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong; this also we pray for, even your perfection.

10 Nandika emisango jinu omwanya nikabha amwi nemwe nitakwenda okubholesha obhululu kwimwe. Nitakwenda okukolela obhutulo bhunu Lata bhugenyi ananile anye nibhombake na tali okubhanyamula.

For this cause I write these things while absent, that when present I may not use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord gave me for edification, and not for destruction.

11 Echa ku bhutelo bhaili bhalume na bhagasi, mukondelelwe! mukole emilimu amwi, musilisibwe, mwiganilishe bhumwi, mwikale no mulembe. Na Nyamuanga we lyenda no mulembe abhe amwi nemwe.

Finally, brethren, farewell! Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

12 Mwikeshanyega bhuli umwi kwo kwinyunya abwelu.

Salute one another with a holy kiss.

13 Abhekilisha bhona abhabhakesha.

All the saints salute you.

14 Echigongo cha Lata bhugenyi Yesu Kristo, elyenda lya Nyamuanga no kusangila kwo mwoyo mwelu bhibhe amwi nemwe bhona.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the partaking of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
