2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, since God in His mercy has given us this ministry, we do not lose heart.
Kulwejo, kulwokubha china imfulubhendo inu, na lwakutyo chilamiye echigongo, chitakufwa mwoyo.
2 Instead, we have renounced secret and shameful ways. We do not practice deceit, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by open proclamation of the truth, we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
Nawe chilalemele jinjila jona ejanjiswalo na jinu jiselekele. Chitakwikala kwo bhuligelige, na chitalikolela kubhibhi lisango lya Nyamuanga. Kwokuleta jinu jili jachimali, echiyolesha eswe abhene mumitima gwa bhuli munu imbele ya Nyamuanga.
3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
Nawe ikabha okulasha kwemwe kwiselekele, iselekele kubhaliya bhanu abhasimagila.
4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (aiōn g165)
Mubhusosi bhwebhwe, nyamuanga we chalo chinu aongelesishe obhwiganilisha bhinu bhutakwikilisha. Echo echibhonekana, bhatakutula kulola obwelu bhwe misango jo bhwana ja likusho lya Kristo, unu ali lususo lwa Nyamuanga. (aiōn g165)
5 For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
Kulwokubha chitakwilasha eswe abhene, tali Kristo kuti Latabhugenyi, na eswe abhene lwa bhakosi bhemwe ingulu ya Yesu.
6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Kulwokubha Nyamuanga niwe aikile, “Obhwelu bhuli sekana okusokelela muchisute.” Achisekaniye mumyoyo jeswe, okusosha obhwelu bhwo bhwengeso bwa likusho lya Nyamuanga mukubhao kwa Yesu Kristo.
7 Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us.
Nawe chili nobhunibhi mubhinu bhya limoga, koleleki imenyekane ati amanaga amakulu ni ga Nyamuanga na gatali geswe.
8 We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
Echinyaka bhuli nyanko, nawe chitakulumatanyishwa. Echifwa emyoyo nawe chitakwijula okufwa emyoyo.
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.
Echinyansibhwa nawe chichali kweswa. Echeswa ansi nawe chitakusimagisibhwa.
10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
Nsiku jona echigega kumubhili gweswe olufu lwa Yesu, koleleki obhuanga bhwa Yesu bhubhonekane ona mumibhili jeswe.
11 For we who are alive are always consigned to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal body.
Eswe bhanu chilamile nsiku jona chisosibhwe okufwa ingulu ya Yesu, koleleki obhuanga bhwa Yesu bhubhonekane mumubhili jeswe ejechinyamubhili.
12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
Kulwainsonga inu, olufu olukola emilimu munda yeswe, nawe obhuanga obhukola emilimu munda yemwe.
13 And in keeping with what is written: “I believed, therefore I have spoken,” we who have the same spirit of faith also believe and therefore speak,
Nawe china omwoyo guliya guliya ogwelikisha okulubhana nachinu chandikilwe: “Nekilisishe, kulwejo naikile. “Eswe ona echikilisha, nakutyo ona echaika.
14 knowing that the One who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in His presence.
Echimenya ati uliya amusuluye Latabhugenyi Yesu ona alichisulula amwi nage. Echimenya ati alichileta eswe amwi nemwe mubhumwi bhwae.
15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is extending to more and more people may overflow in thanksgiving, to the glory of God.
Bhuli chinu ni ingulu yemwe koleleki, nalwakutyo echigongo echisugana kubhanu bhamfu, lisime lyani libhone okwiyongesha kwa likusho lya Nyamuanga.
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.
Kulwejo chitakufwa mioyo. Nolo kutyo anja chinyamukile, nawe munda echikolwa bhayaya kunsiku na kunsiku.
17 For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory that is far beyond comparison. (aiōnios g166)
Kwomwanya gunu mufuyi, okunyaka kunu okwololo agachikola eswe ingulu ya kajanende okusito kwa likushyo linu elikila ndengo yona. (aiōnios g166)
18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Kulwokubha chitakulola ingulu ye bhinu bhinu ebhibhonekana, nawe ingulu yebhinu bhinu bhitakubhonekana. Ebhinu bhinu echitula okulola ebhibhonekana nibhyomwanyala, nawe bhinu bhitakubhonekana nibhya kajanende. (aiōnios g166)
