2 Ŵakolinto 4
1 Nipele kwa chanasa cha Akunnungu atupele masengo ga, kwaligongo lyo ngatukupwa ntima.
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not:
2 Tuilesile indu yose ya mitemela ni ya soni, ngatukunlambusya mundu jwalijose namuno kulilyungasya liloŵe lya Akunnungu, nambo kwakusala usyene pelanga chikwatende ŵandu amanyilile mmitima jao yatutite kuŵa paujo pa Akunnungu.
but we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 Nambo iwaga Ngani Jambone jitukujilalichila uwe jiunichikwe, jele jiunichikwe kwa ŵandu ŵakonasika pe.
But and if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that are perishing:
4 Ni ŵelewo ngakukulupilila pakuŵa nganisyo syao syetaje chipi ni achisoka, ŵaali nnungu ŵa pachilambo pano, kuti akakombola kuliwona lilanguka lya Ngani Jambone ja ukulu wa Kilisito, ŵaali chisau ni Akunnungu yatite kuŵa. (aiōn g165)
in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn [upon them]. (aiōn g165)
5 Pakuŵa ngatukulalichila ngani syetu twachinsyene nambo tukunlalichila Che Yesu Kilisito ŵaali Ambuje, noweji tuli achikapolo ŵenu kwaligongo li Che Yesu Kilisito.
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 Akunnungu ŵalaŵala uŵasasile kuti, “Lilanguka lilanguchisye mu chipi,” ŵawowo ni ŵalanguchisye mitima jetu, atupele lilanguka lya umanyilisi wa ukulu wa Akunnungu waukung'alima ku meeso kwa Kilisito.
Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 Nambo uwe ŵatukwete mbiko ji tuli mpela yombo ya litaka yaiŵichikwe indu ya mmbumu nkati mwakwe, pakuti gawoneche machili gamakulungwa go, gakutyochela kwa Akunnungu ngaŵa kutyochela kukwetu twachinsyene.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;
8 Uweji tukupata masausyo gakupisyangana nambo ngatukulepela. Tukukola lipamba nambo ngatukupwa mitima.
[we are] pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;
9 Tukulagaswa nambo ngatukulekwa pangali ukamuchisyo. Namuno tugwisiswe nambo ngatukujonasika.
pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed;
10 Moŵa gose tukwenda ni chiwa chi Che Yesu pa iilu yetu, kuti umi u Che Yesu uwoneche iyoyo mu iilu yetu.
always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body.
11 Pakuŵa uweji ŵatuli ŵajumi tukuulajikwa moŵa gose kwaligongo lyakwatumichila Che Yesu, kuti umi wao uwoneche mu iilu yetu yaikuwa.
For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
12 Kwapele uwe tuli chile namose kuwa kwaligongo lyakunlalichila ŵanyamwe kuti ŵanyamwe mpate umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13 Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Nakulupilile ni kwa ligongo lyo naŵechete.” Uwe nowe tukwete ntima uwowo wa chikulupi, tukukulupilila kwayele tukuŵecheta,
But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, and therefore did I speak; we also believe, and therefore also we speak;
14 pakuŵa tukuimanyilila kwaisyene kuti Akunnungu ni uŵansyusisye Ambuje Che Yesu, chatususye noweji pamo ni Ambuje Che Yesu ni kutuŵika paujo pao pamo ni ŵanyamwe.
knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also with Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15 Yele yose itendekwe kwa liwamba lyenu kuti ntuuka wa Akunnungu paukwaichilila ŵandu achajinji, chiŵatende ŵatogolele kwannope Akunnungu, ni kwakusya Akunnungu.
For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound unto the glory of God.
16 Kwapele ngatukupwa mitima, namuno iilu yetu ikuwisala nambo mbumu syetu munkati mwetu sikutendekwa syasambano moŵa gose.
Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.
17 Kulaga kwetu kuli kwamwana sooni kuli kwa katema kakajipi nambo kukutupa ukulu waukupunda nnope, ukulu wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi wauli wambone kupunda kulaga kwatuli nako. (aiōnios g166)
For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
18 Tukailolela yaikuwoneka nambo tuilolele yangaikuwoneka. Pakuŵa aila yaikuwoneka ili ya katema kakajipi nambo yangaikuwoneka ili ya moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
