2 Corinthians 3
1 DO we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some, commendatory letters to you, or commendatory letters from you?
Mwie, twandile tandile awiawidhuvhe tubhene? Hatuwaza kalata yachagulanye hulimwi amalwafume huli limwi khashele awadhuu, ishitu tuwanza?
2 Ye are our letter written in our hearts, acknowledged and read of all men:
Amwe mwi mwe mlikalata yitu gachagulanye, gosi mbiha na manyilwe nawadhuawadhu waudhi.
3 because ye are manifestly seen to be the letter of Christ, of which we have been the secretaries, written not with ink, but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tables of stone, but on the fleshly tables of the heart.
Namubhoneha aje amwemlikalata afume wa Kristi. Iyafumiziwe nadhi, sangasihwa nakhono amanuwino ama uhala wa Ngulubhi umwumi hagaisibwa wiwimbao zi mawe. Ama moyo gabhanadamu.
4 And such confidence have we through Christ towards God:
Ubhu udadamazu watulinao mwa Ngulubhi ubhu ajende ashizanye wa mwana usu Kristi.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account any thing of ourselves, but our sufficiency is of God.
Angahatuyani twithe awisye hahuthi au hahafuma hulithi amanagakwe awi yamiwitu hufuma wa Ngulubhi.
6 Who hath made us also able ministers of the new testament, not of the letter but of the spirit; for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Yu Ngulubhi watubhomba hunje tuwezye huuja awe tuatumwa vhindajizyo ipha izi ndajizyo saga kalata ilazya hala umwenye kalata ibhunda lelo uhala aleta uumii.
7 For if the ministry of death in letters graven on stone, was attended with glory, so that the children of Israel could not keep their eyes fixed upon the countenance of Moses, because of the glory of his countenance, though soon evanescent;
Ishi imbombo yifwe iyihali ipuzwa mmasimbo mwanya mmawe ihenza manyishiheza manyi manyi shisisya bha mu Israeli sahenya lwuthi lwuthihata maso wa Mose. Phipo yisisya wimaso gakwe, usishwa bhulafi filanga.
8 how much more will not the ministry of the Spirit be attended with glory?
Ishi imbombo yahala saga ihabha nu mwamu sana katika usisya?
9 For if the ministry of condemnation is glory, much more doth the ministry of righteousness excel in glory.
Lwali lelo hala hahafanyilwe usisya lwawandilo haga nuubhusisya hataishimaine ahadodo!
10 For that which was glorious hath no glory, comparatively, because of the glory which excelleth.
Khamba hala hahafanyilwe usisya lwawandilo haga nuubhusisya hataishimaine, ahadodo!
11 For if that which was abolished came in a glorious manner, much more is that which remaineth glorious.
Khamba hala haha winza hagosi hashila hali nubhusishwa uwaubhuza wabhushe la wawa hali uwahweza khashele wilawila sha nushishwai.
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use much freedom of speech.
Khatu hwitiha esho, tunighuvhu sana.
13 And act not as Moses who spread a veil over his face, in order that the children of Israel might not look stedfastly to the end of that which should be abolished.
Sagatuli ni Mose, ubha uje tubhanje waze wila na wila pamaso gakwe, huje abhadhu muIsraeli bhasiwe lwudti uwa humalishila hu thithya bhulawahepanga.
14 But their understandings were darkened: for unto this day the same veil in their reading the old testament abideth unremoved; which veil is taken away by Christ.
Lelo thibho zyabho zhapi nyibwe. pakaisiku lwawaze bhubhula bhusagalashila isha manyile ulufingano lwihali. Shabhi bhiwilwe shilwe wazi, pipho uKristi mwene iwefewa hutali.
15 For unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is spread over their hearts.
Lakini hata thanyunu lwa lwunthi uMose sha manyilwa, lwawawazhe lukhala amwanya moyo gao.
16 Nevertheless, when Israel shall turn unto the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
Lelo umnthu pagoluhana wa Bwana, ulwa wanze lufewa.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Eeshi Bwana uhala. Apa pa linu hala wa Bwana, hubha nuwaushe.
18 And we all with face unveiled, beholding the glory of the Lord reflected as in a mirror, according to the same image, receive a transformation from glory into glory, as by the Lord, the Spirit.
Eshi anthi nthi tubhepa palishimo na maso gasawanza ulwauweze tuula unthithwa uBwana. Tuwadhuhana mhathi shila shitukufu afume ubhutukufu afume engiga emo utukufu wa Bwana ya mwao, nashi shashishi afume Bwana, amashi pa Roho.
