2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, since God in His mercy has given us this ministry, we do not lose heart.
Kwa ele, ndabha tuye ni huduma eye, na kutya katuipokili rehema, tikata lepi tamaa.
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.
Badala yaki, tubelili njela syoa sya soni na sasijifighili. Tuishi lepi kwa hila, na tukalitumila lepi vibaya lilobhi la K'yara. Kwa kulifikisya laliyele la ukueli, tukajilasya tayhoto kwa zamila ya kila munu palongolo pa K'yara.
3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
Lakini kutya injili ya yhoto ijisighili kwa bhala tu bhabhiangamila.
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)
Kup'etela kuchagula kwa bhene, K'yara wa ulimwengu obho abhapofuili uyelebhwa wa bhene wa ubekili kuamini. Matokeo ghaki, bhibhuesya lepi kubhona nulu ya injili ya utukufu wa Kristu, yaayele ndo mfuano wa K'yara. (aiōn g165)
5 For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
Kwa ndabha tukakitangasya lepi tayhoto, bali kristu Yesu kutya Bwana, ni tete kabhele kutya bhutumishi bha yhomo kup'etela 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.
Kwa ndabha muendo ndo aghajobhilo, “muenga alalangasya ku kitita.” Alangese kuhomela mu miteema yhitu, kupisya muanga wa maarifa wa utukufu wa K'yara kup'etela uwepo wa Yesu Kristu.
7 Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us.
Lakini tuye ni hazina ya ele kup'etela fhenu fya undongo, ili ndabha iyelewekai kwa nghofo ibhaa ya K'yara nasoyatete.
8 We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
Titaabika kup'etela kila hali, tisongibhwa lepi tibhona mashaka ila tijasi bhwa lepi ni kukata tamaa.
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.
Titesibhwa ila tutetekisibhu hee. Titaghibhwa pasi lakini tiangamisibhwa hee.
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.
Magono ghoa tip'enda mibhele ya yhoto kifo kya Yesu, yakuwa usima wa Yesu ubhonekanai kabhele mu mibhele ya yhoto.
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.
Tete yatuyele hai magono ghoa tupisibhu kufua kwajia ya Yesu, yakuwa uhai wa Yesu ubhonekanai mu mibhele ya yhoto kibinadamu.
12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
Kwa ndabha eye, kifo kibhomba mbhombho mugati mwa yhoto, bali ni usima wibhombha mbhombho mugati mwa yhomo.
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,
Ila tuyele ni roho yelayela ya imani kulengana ni khela ka kiyandikibhu: “Naamini, nikabhele nanenili.” Tete kabhele tiamini, ni kabhele linena.
14 knowing that the One who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in His presence.
Timanyili kabhele yhola ya afufuili Bwana Yesu kabhele alatufufula tete pamonga ni muene. Tumanyili ya kuwa alatuleta tete pamonga ni muenga kup'etela ubhuepo bhuake.
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.
Kila khenu ni kwa jia ya yhomo ili ndabha, kadili ya neema kayizidi kuenela kwa bhanu bhingi, shukrani sizidiayi kuyongeseka kwa utukufu wa K'yara.
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.
Efu tikata lepi tamaa. Japokuwa kwa kwibhala tuyenikichaka, kwa mugati tiketibhua upya magono hadi magono.
17 For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory that is far beyond comparison. (aiōnios g166)
Kwa kipindi kifupi eke, mateso agha malaini ghakatuyandala tete kwa jia ya umilele ubhaa wa utukufu wa uzidili fipemu fyoa. (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)
Kwa ndabha tilangalepi kwajia ya fhenu fya fibhonekana, bali kwajia ya fhenu fya fibela kubhonekana. Fhenu fafibhuesya kubhonekana ni fya muda tu, bali fhenu fafibela kubhonekana ndo fya milele. (aiōnios g166)
