2 Bhakolinto 1
1 Ajino bhaluwa jino kujikopoka kwangu nne, a Pauli ntume jwa a Yeshu a Kilishitu na apwanga a Timoteo, kwa engwa kwabho a Nnungu. Ngunakunjandishilanga mmanganya mmandunji bha a Nnungu nninginji ku Kolinto na bhandu bhowe bha ukonjelo mmbali yowe ya ku Akaya.
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in the whole of Achaia:
2 Nema na ulele kopoka kwa a Nnungu ainabhetu na Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu ibhe na mmanganya.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Bhakuywe a Nnungu ainabhabho Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu, Atati bhakwete shiya na a Nnungu bhakutupa kuangalala.
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
4 A Nnungu bhakutuangalaya nkulaga mwetu, nkupinga na uwe twaangalayanje bhananji nkulaga kwabhonji kwa nng'angalo gogo gutuposhela kopoka kwa bhenebho.
who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5 Elo, malinga shitupunda kupata mboteko nkwaakamulila liengo a Kilishitu, a Nnungu shibhapunda kutuangalaya kupitila a Kilishitu.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ.
6 Ibhaga tunalaga, ni kwa ligongo lya nng'angalo na ntapulo gwenunji. Putuangalala nkupinga kunng'angalayanga mmanganyanji na kuntaganga ntima kwa mboteko yenunji, mwiipilililanje malinga uwe.
But whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer:
7 Na ngulupai itukwete kwa ligongo lyenunji ishimilishe, pabha tumumanyi kuti nnalaganga malinga uwe, nneyo peyo shinng'angalalanje malinga uwe.
and our hope for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort.
8 Ashaalongo, tunapinga kummalanjilanga shitushite laga ku nkowa gwa ku Ashia kula, shilajesho shashinkututopela kwa kaje mpaka gutuwile mitima kuti tukalama.
For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befell [us] in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
9 Elo, mmitima jetu putwaliji mbuti bhandu bhaukumwilwenje kubhulagwa, nkupinga tunaikulupalile twaashayene, ikabhe twaakulupalile a Nnungu bhakwaayuyanga bhandu bhawilenje.
yea, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead:
10 Bhenebho bhatutapwile nshilaje shikulungwa shapingaga kutubhulaga shila, na bhanapunda kututapula. Tunakwakulupalila kuti shibhatutapule kabhili.
who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver: on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;
11 Mmanganya nnakutujangutilanga kwa kutujujila. Nkupinga bhandu bhabhagwinji bhatendanje eja kwa a Nnungu ga ligongo lya mboka itupata kwa jujilwa na bhandu bhabhagwinji.
ye also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.
12 Shitukwiiniya shindu shimo, mitima jetu jinakutukong'ondelala kuti tunatama pa shilambolyo pano na kajekaje munkumbi gwenunji, kwa kwiitimalika kutupegwilwe na a Nnungu. Twangalongoywa na lunda lwetu ikabhe kwa nema ja a Nnungu.
For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
13 Tunakunjandishilanga indu ishinkombolanje shoma na kwiimanya. Ngunakulupalila kuti shimwimanyanje ukoto,
For we write no other things unto you, than what ye read or even acknowledge, and I hope ye will acknowledge unto the end:
14 pabha nnaino mmumanyinji kashoko. Bhai, tumumanyi kuti lyubha lya kwiya a Yeshu shumwiiniyanje kwa ligongo lyetu malinga shitukwiiniya uwe kwa ligongo lyenunji.
as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that we are your glorying, even as ye also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
15 Ngulikulupalila kumanya na kulupalila kwenunji, gundumbilile ndandubhe kuika kunngwenunji nkupinga mpwaikanje pabhili.
And in this confidence I was minded to come first unto you, that ye might have a second benefit;
16 Natumbilile mbitile kungwenunji gwa kwenda na gwa nkubhuja kunkoa gwa Makedonia, nkupinga nnyangutilanje ga mwanja gwangu gwa kwenda ku Yudea.
and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and of you to be set forward on my journey unto Judæa.
17 Bhuli, punkuganishiyanga kuti naliji mundu jwa pindikukapindikuka? Eu, punkuganishiyanga njitumbilila kwa lunda lwangupe? Kuti ngunabheleketa “Elo” na “Nngabha” gwanakamo?
When I therefore was thus minded, did I show fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay?
18 A Nnungu bha kweli jika, bhai, shitummalanjilenje shila nngabha shindu sha “Elo” na “Nngabha”
But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not yea and nay.
19 Pabha a Kilishitu bhanabhabho a Nnungu, bhutunnungushiyenje nne na a Shilibhanushi na a Timoteo, bhakaliji bha “Elo” na “Nngabha.” Ikabhe mobha gowe bhenebho ni “Elo” ja a Nnungu.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, [even] by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him is yea.
20 Pabha malagano gowe ga a Nnungu gali mwa a Kilishitu ni ga “Elo” kwa lyene ligongolyo, “Amina” jetu pujilugulwa kwa lina lya a Yeshu nkwaakuya a Nnungu.
For how many soever be the promises of God, in him is the yea: wherefore also through him is the Amen, unto the glory of God through us.
21 Bhai a Nnungu bhayene bhanakutushimilika uwe pamo na mmanganya nkulundana na a Kilishitu. Na kutuagula,
Now he that establisheth us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;
22 bhenebho gubhatupele Mbumu jwabho mmitima jetu abhe lulembo kuti uwe tubhabho na abhe ngamulo ja indu yowe ibhatubhishile.
who also sealed us, and gave [us] the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 A Nnungu ni bhakong'ondela bhangu ngaabheleketa unami, gundumbilile ngunaishe kabhili ku Kolinto ngunakummulayanga kuinjika kwa malobhe ga kalipa.
But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come unto Corinth.
24 Tukaapinga kunshishilishiyanga ga indu inkukulupalilanga, pabha mwiishimilikenje nngulupai jenunji. Ikabhe uwe tubhaajangutila bha angalala kwenunji.
Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for in faith ye stand fast.
