2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you?
Hashi, twanji kayi kulitumbira twaweni twenga? Ama hashi, twankufira luhamba lwa kulanguziya ukapitawu kwa wayetu? Ama hashi tulembelwi luhamba lwanakaka kwa mwenga ama kulawa kwa mwenga ntambu yawatenda wamonga?
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Mwenga mwaweni muwera luhamba lwa twenga, luhamba lwalulembitwi mumyoyu mwa twenga, imanikana na ibetulwa na kila muntu.
3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
Ndo nakaka kuwera mwenga ndo luhamba lwa Kristu lwalujegitwi kwa mawoku getu. Luhamba lweni lulembitwi ndiri kwa winu, kumbiti lulembwa kwa Rohu gwa Mlungu yakawera mkomu, lulembitwi ndiri pashipandi sha libuwi, kumbiti lulembwa mumyoyu ya wantu.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God,
Tulonga hangu toziya ya litumbiru lwatwenga lyatuwera nalu kulongolu kwa Mlungu kupitira Kristu.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,
Tuweza ndiri kutenda shoseri kwa makakala getu weni, kumbiti uwezu wa twenga woseri ulawa kwa Mlungu.
6 who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Toziya Mlungu ndo yakatutenditi twenga tuweri na uwezu wa kuwera wantumintumi wa lipatanu lya syayi, lipatanu lya Malagaliru ndiri gagalembitwi, kumbiti lipatanu lya Rohu. Malagaliru gagalembitwi gajega kuhowa, kumbiti Rohu kajega ukomu.
7 But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face, which was passing away,
Vinu handa Liragaliru lyalijegiti kuhowa, lilembitwi pamabuwi, liza na ukwisa, mpaka Waisraeli waweziti ndiri kujodulera masu sheni sha Musa toziya ya ng'ereng'eta yakuwi. Ng'ereng'eta ayi iweriti ukwisa wa katepu hera,
8 will not service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
su utendera wa Rohu hauweri na ukwisa mkulu nentu kupita ng'ereng'eta ilii.
9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
Su payiwera, kuweriti na ukwisa muutendera ulii waujegiti utoza, hashi, utendera yawumfiriziya Mlungu, mkulu ndiri kupita awu?
10 For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
Vinu ukwisa mkulu nentu uwugubika ukwisa ulii yaupititi kwanja, ndogweni ulangala wakuwi uwuka kala.
11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
Toziya payiwera shilii shashiweriti sha shipindi shididika hera shiweriti na ukwisa wakuwi, kupita aga shilii shashilikala mashaka goseri hashiweri na ukwisa mkulu nentu.
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Toziya twana litumbiru ali, tutakula pota na lyoga.
13 and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face so that the children of Israel would not look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
Twenga tutenda ndiri gambira Musa yakagubikiti sheni shakuwi kwa shitambala, su wantu wa Israeli nawawona kupelera kwa ung'ereng'eta wakuwi.
14 But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.
Kumbiti mahala gawu gapungwa. Toziya mpaka leru palibetulwa lipatanu ligona, shigubiku ashi shankali. Shigubiku ashi hashiwusiwi hera, muntu pakalikolerana pamuhera na Kristu.
15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
Yina, mpaka leru palibetulwa Malagaliru ga musa, shigubikiru shigubika mahala gawu.
16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Kumbiti, shipindi muntu pakamuwuyira Mtuwa, shigubikiru ashi shiwusiwa.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Vinu “Mtuwa” Ndo Rohu na palii pakawera Rohu gwa Mtuwa, pawera ulekeru.
18 But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
Kumbiti twawoseri twenga, tuwera na sheni zyazigubikirwa ndiri, tulilora gambira mushiloleru, ukwisa wa Mtuwa na twenga tutendwa tulifani na yomberi kwa kwongereka muukwisa yawulawa kwa Mtuwa, ayu ndo Rohu.
