2 Abhakorintho 6
1 Na kulwejo, okukola smiling aamwi, echibhalembelesha emwe mtalamila echigongo cha Nyamuanga.
We then, as workers together with him, plead to you also that all of you receive not the grace of God in vain.
2 Kwo kubha kaika, “Omwanya gunu gwekilisibwe naliga wakisi kwemwe, na kulusiku lwo mwelulo nabhasakiye.” Lola, woli ni mwanya gukilisibwe. Lola, woli no lusiku lwo mwelulo.
(For he says, I have heard you in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I helped you: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
3 Chitakutulayo libhui lwo kwijula imbele yo mumubhili wonawona, kwo kubha chitakola emiimu jeswe jisigwe okugaywa.
Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
4 Nawe mu jona, chilola abhene kwe bhikolwa byeswe bhona, ati chili bhakosi bha Nyamunga. Chili bhakosi bhae mu bwafu okunyasibwa, okukomela mubwikalo,
But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5 Okubhumwa, no kubhoywa, mu kukalashanya, okukomela emilimu kwa managa, okubhula jintilo mungeta, no kusalalila,
In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
6 Mu bwichumichumi, mu bhumenyi, mu kwigumilisha, mu chigongo, mu mwoyo mwelu, mu kwenda.
By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) by love (agape) sincere,
7 Chili bhakosi bhae mu musango gwe chimali, mu managa ga Nyamuanga. Chili ne bhigwato ebyo bhulengesi koleleki mu kubhoko kwo bhulyo no kwe bhumosi.
By the word (logos) of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 Echikola emilimu muchibhalo no kugaywa, kulwo kulomwa. Nokukusibha kubha bhabhei kanawe omwanya chili bha chimali.
By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
9 Echikola emilimu koleleki chitakumenyeka na kutyo echimenyekana kisi. Echikola emilimu lwa bhachifwa na - Lola! - chili bhanga. Echikola emilimu lwa bhanu abhabhalilwa kwe bhikolwa byeswe nawe tali bhanu abhalamulwa okufwa.
As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
10 Echikola emilimu lwa bhanu abhasulumbala, nawesiku jona chili na likondelelwa. Echikola emilimu lwa bhataka nawe echibhanibya bhafu. Echikola emilimu lwa bhanu bhatali na chinu ka nawe bhali na byona.
As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11 Chalomelwe bwe chimali bhona kwimwe, Abhakorintho, ne mitima jeswe igawe kwo bhunene.
O all of you Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
12 Emitima jeswe jitakuganyibwa neswe, nawe omuganyibwa mwime abhene.
All of you are not straitened in us, but all of you are straitened in your own bowels.
13 Woli okuindulana enaika kwa bhana mwigale emitima jeswe kwo bhunene.
Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children, ) be all of you also enlarged.
14 Mutabhoyelwe amwi na bhanyatekilisha. Kwo kubha obhulengesi no bhubhibhi kutiki? Nolwo obwelu ne chisute chisigala kutiki?
Be all of you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion has light with darkness?
15 Bhulio bhungwaniki Kristo na Beliali? Amwi unu ekilisishe ali no mugabho ki amwi na unu atekilisishe?
And what concord has Christ with Belial? or what part has he that believes with an infidel?
16 Na bhulio bhungwani ki agati ya iyekalu ya Nyamuanga ne chisusano? Kwo kubha eswe ni yekalu ya Nyamuanga unu ali muanga, lwa kutyo Nyamuanga aikili: ati Niliyanja agati yebwe no kulibhata agati yebwe. Nilibha Nyamuanga webwe, nabho bhalibha bhanu bhani.”
And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? for all of you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Kulwejo, “Musoke agati, yebwe mwaukane nabho,” kaika Lata bhugeyi. “Mutakuniako chinu chili chijabhi, na ndibhakalibhisha emwe.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be all of you separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
18 Nikubha Esomwana kwimwe, nemwe mulibha bhana abhe chilume na bhe chiyala,” kaika Lata bhugenyi.
And will be a Father unto you, and all of you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.
