2 VaKorinde 13

¹Iyi inguva yechitatu, yandinovuya kwamuri. Mumiromo yezvapupu zviviri kana zvitatu mashoko ose achasimbiswa.This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

²Ndakambokuvudzai, zvino ndokuvudzai sendakanga ndiripo, kechipiri sendakanga ndiripo, zvino ndisipo, ndinovanyorera avo vakatadza navamwe vose kuti kana ndavuya ikozvino handingavaregererizve.I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:

³Zvamunotsvaka chiratidzo chaKristu, unotaura mandiri, iye usingashaiwi simba kwamuri, asi unesimba mamuri.Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

⁴Nokuti wakaroverwa pamuchinjikwa nokushaiwa simba, asi unoraramanesimba raMwari nesuvo hatina simba maari asi tichararama pamwe chete naye nesimba raMwari kwamuri.For though 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 toward you.

⁵Zviidzei imi mumene, muvone kana muri pakutenda; muzvinzverei imi mumene, Hamuzivi here imi mumene kuti Jesu Kristu uri mukati menyu? Kana zvimwe mava vakarashwa henyu.Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

⁶Asi ndinoti muchaziva henyu kuti isu hatina kuva vakarashwa.But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

⁷Zvino tinonyengetera Mwari kuti murege kuita chinhu chimwe chakaipa; handidaro kuti isu tiwanikwe kuti takatendeka, asi kuti imi muite zvakarurama, kunyange isu takaita savakarashwa.Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

⁸Nokuti hatigoni kuita chinhu chinopesana nezvokwadi, asi chinobatsira zvokwadi.For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

⁹Nokuti tinofara kana isu tichishaiwa simba, imi muchiva nesimba; ndizvo zvatinokumbira vo, kuti mukwaniswe.For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

¹⁰Saka ndinonyora izvi ndisipo, kuti kana ndavapo, ndirege kuita nehasha, sezvandakapiwa naShe simba rokusimbisa, risati riri rokuputsa.Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

¹¹Pakupedzisira, hama dzangu, farai, mukwaniswe, munyaradzwe, ivai nomoyo mumwe, garai norugare; Mwari worudo norugare uchava nemi.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.

¹²Kwazisanai nokusveta kutsvene.Greet one another with an holy kiss.

¹³Vatsvene vose vanokukwazisai.All the saints salute you.

¹⁴Nyasha dzaShe Jesu Kristu, norudo rwaMwari, nokuyanana kwoMweya Mutsvene, ngazvive nemi mose. Ameni.The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
