2 Wakorintho 13
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Hii ni mara yangu ya tatu kuja kwenu. “Kila tatizo litatatuliwa kwa ushahidi wa watu wawili au watatu,” yasema Maandiko.
1Behold, this is the third time I am coming to you: In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word stand.
2Nilikwisha sema, na kama ilivyokuwa safari ya pili, sasa nasema tena nikiwa mbali: wale wote waliotenda uovu bila kutubu, na pia wale wengine, nitakapokuja, watakiona cha mtema kuni.
2I have told before, and foretell, as present, and now absent, to them that sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare.
3Mtajionea wenyewe kwamba Kristo anasema ndani yangu. Kwenu Kristo si dhaifu; bali nguvu yake yafanya kazi miongoni mwenu.
3Do you seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me, who towards you is not weak, but is mighty in you?
4Maana hata kama alisulubiwa kwa sababu ya udhaifu, lakini sasa anaishi kwa uwezo wa Mungu. Sisi pia tu dhaifu kwa kuungana naye lakini tutaishi naye kwa uwezo wa Mungu kwa ajili yenu.
4For although he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him: but we shall live with him by the power of God towards you.
5Jichunguzeni ninyi wenyewe mpate kujua kama kweli mnayo imani. Jichunguzeni ninyi wenyewe. Je, hamjui kwamba Kristo Yesu yumo ndani yenu? Kama sivyo, basi ninyi mmeshindwa.
5Try your own selves if you be in the faith; prove ye yourselves. Know you not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless perhaps you be reprobates?
6Lakini natumaini kwamba ninyi mnajua kuwa sisi hatukushindwa.
6But I trust that you shall know that we are not reprobates.
7Tunamwomba Mungu msifanye uovu wowote, lakini si kusudi tuonekane kama watu waliokwisha faulu, bali mpate kutenda mema, hata kama sisi tunaonekana kuwa tumeshindwa.
7Now we pray God, that you may do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is good, and that we may be as reprobates.
8Maana hatuwezi kuupinga ukweli; uwezo tulio nao ni wa kuuendeleza ukweli.
8For we can do nothing against the truth; but for the truth.
9Tunafurahi kwamba sisi tu dhaifu, lakini ninyi mna nguvu; kwa hiyo tunaomba mpate kuwa wakamilifu.
9For we rejoice that we are weak, and you are strong. This also we pray for, your perfection.
10Basi, ninaandika barua hii nikiwa mbali, ili nitakapofika kwenu nisilazimike kuwa mkali kwenu kwa kutumia ule uwezo alionipa Bwana; naam, uwezo wa kujenga na si wa kubomoa.
10Therefore I write these things, being absent, that, being present, I may not deal more severely, according to the power which the Lord hath given me unto edification, and not unto destruction.
11Kwa sasa, ndugu, kwaherini! Muwe na ukamilifu, shikeni mashauri yangu, muwe na nia moja; kaeni kwa amani. Naye Mungu wa mapendo na amani atakuwa pamoja nanyi.
11For the rest, brethren, rejoice, be perfect, take exhortation, be of one mind, have peace; and the God of peace and of love shall be with you.
12Salimianeni kwa ishara ya upendo.
12Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the saints salute you.
13(G13-12) Watu wote wa Mungu huku wanawasalimuni.
13The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the charity of God, and the communication of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.
14(G13-13) Neema ya Bwana Yesu Kristo na upendo wa Mungu na umoja wa Roho Mtakatifu, viwe nanyi nyote.
