< 2 Corinthians 4 >
1 Therefore, having this ministry, as we have had mercy shewn us, we faint not.
Nipele kwa chanasa cha Akunnungu atupele masengo ga, kwaligongo lyo ngatukupwa ntima.
2 But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.
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.
3 But if also our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those that are lost;
Nambo iwaga Ngani Jambone jitukujilalichila uwe jiunichikwe, jele jiunichikwe kwa ŵandu ŵakonasika pe.
4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the radiancy of the glad tidings of the glory of the Christ, who is [the] image of God, should not shine forth [for them]. (aiōn )
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 )
5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus Lord, and ourselves your bondmen for Jesus' sake.
Pakuŵa ngatukulalichila ngani syetu twachinsyene nambo tukunlalichila Che Yesu Kilisito ŵaali Ambuje, noweji tuli achikapolo ŵenu kwaligongo li Che Yesu Kilisito.
6 Because [it is] the God who spoke that out of darkness light should shine who has shone in our hearts for the shining forth of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of [Jesus] Christ.
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.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be of God, and not from us:
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.
8 every way afflicted, but not straitened; seeing no apparent issue, but our way not entirely shut up;
Uweji tukupata masausyo gakupisyangana nambo ngatukulepela. Tukukola lipamba nambo ngatukupwa mitima.
9 persecuted, but not abandoned; cast down, but not destroyed;
Tukulagaswa nambo ngatukulekwa pangali ukamuchisyo. Namuno tugwisiswe nambo ngatukujonasika.
10 always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body;
Moŵa gose tukwenda ni chiwa chi Che Yesu pa iilu yetu, kuti umi u Che Yesu uwoneche iyoyo mu iilu yetu.
11 for we who live are always delivered unto death on account of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh;
Pakuŵa uweji ŵatuli ŵajumi tukuulajikwa moŵa gose kwaligongo lyakwatumichila Che Yesu, kuti umi wao uwoneche mu iilu yetu yaikuwa.
12 so that death works in us, but life in you.
Kwapele uwe tuli chile namose kuwa kwaligongo lyakunlalichila ŵanyamwe kuti ŵanyamwe mpate umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.
13 And having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, I have believed, therefore have I spoken; we also believe, therefore also we speak;
Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Nakulupilile ni kwa ligongo lyo naŵechete.” Uwe nowe tukwete ntima uwowo wa chikulupi, tukukulupilila kwayele tukuŵecheta,
14 knowing that he who has raised the Lord Jesus shall raise us also with Jesus, and shall present [us] with you.
pakuŵa tukuimanyilila kwaisyene kuti Akunnungu ni uŵansyusisye Ambuje Che Yesu, chatususye noweji pamo ni Ambuje Che Yesu ni kutuŵika paujo pao pamo ni ŵanyamwe.
15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace abounding through the many may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
Yele yose itendekwe kwa liwamba lyenu kuti ntuuka wa Akunnungu paukwaichilila ŵandu achajinji, chiŵatende ŵatogolele kwannope Akunnungu, ni kwakusya Akunnungu.
16 Wherefore we faint not; but if indeed our outward man is consumed, yet the inward is renewed day by day.
Kwapele ngatukupwa mitima, namuno iilu yetu ikuwisala nambo mbumu syetu munkati mwetu sikutendekwa syasambano moŵa gose.
17 For our momentary [and] light affliction works for us in surpassing measure an eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios )
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 )
18 while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen [are] for a time, but those that are not seen eternal. (aiōnios )
Tukailolela yaikuwoneka nambo tuilolele yangaikuwoneka. Pakuŵa aila yaikuwoneka ili ya katema kakajipi nambo yangaikuwoneka ili ya moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios )
