8 For we don't want you to be unaware, brothers, of our affliction that took place in Asia: we were completely overwhelmed - beyond our strength - so that we even despaired of life.
8 Hikuva a hi naveli leswaku mi nga tivi nchumu vamakwerhu, malunghana ni nhlomulo lowu wu hi endlekeleke emugangeni wa Asiya,+ leswaku a hi ri ehansi ka ntshikilelo lowukulu ngopfu lowu tlulaka ntamu wa hina, lerova a hi nga tiyiseki nikatsongo ni hi vutomi+ bya hina.
