2 Corinthians 4
1 THEREFORE seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
Naizvozvo zvatine shumiro iyi, sezvatakagamuchira tsitsi, hatineti;
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
asi takarasa zvinhu zvakavanzika zvechinyadzo, tisingafambi neunyengeri, kana kuminamisa shoko raMwari; asi nekuratidza chokwadi, tichizvipupurira kuhana yese yevanhu pamberi paMwari.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
Zvinowo kana evhangeri yedu yakafukidzwa, yakafukidzwa kune avo vanoparara;
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (aiōn g165)
kwavari mwari wenyika ino wakapofumadza fungwa dzevasingatendi, kuti chiedza cheevhangeri yekubwinya yaKristu ari mufananidzo waMwari chisavhenekera kwavari. (aiōn g165)
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
Nokuti hatizviparidzi, asi Kristu Jesu Ishe; uye isu tiri varanda venyu nekuda kwaJesu.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Nokuti Mwari wakati chiedza chivhenekere kubva parima ndiye wakavhenekera mumoyo yedu, kuti atipe chiedza cheruzivo rwekubwinya kwaMwari pachiso chaJesu Kristu.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
Asi tine fuma iyi mumidziyo yevhu, kuti ukuru-ukuru hwesimba huve hwaMwari, uye husabva kwatiri;
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
tinodzvanyidzirwa pamativi ese, asi hatimanikidzwi; tinovhiringidzika, asi hatipererwi;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
tinoshushwa, asi kwete kusiiwa; tinowisirwa pasi, asi kwete kuparadzwa;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
tichipota takatakura nguva dzese kufa kwaIshe Jesu mumuviri, kuti upenyuwo hwaJesu huratidzwe mumuviri wedu.
11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
Nokuti isu tinorarama tinogara tichipiwa kurufu nekuda kwaJesu, kuti upenyuwo hwaJesu huratidzwe munyama yedu inofa.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
Saizvozvo rufu rwunobata matiri, asi upenyu mamuri.
13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
Zvino tine mweya iwoyu werutendo, sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Ndakatenda, naizvozvo ndakataura; isuwo tinotenda, naizvozvowo tinotaura;
14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
tichiziva kuti iye wakamutsa Ishe Jesu, achatimutsawo isu naJesu, agotikumikidza pamwe nemwi.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
Nokuti zvinhu zvese zvinoitwa nekuda kwenyu, kuti nyasha dzakapamhidzirwa nekuda kwekuvonga kwevazhinji, dziwedzerwe dzive rukudzo rwaMwari.
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
Naizvozvo hatineti, asi kana munhu wedu wekunze achiparadzwa, zvakadaro wemukati anovandudzwa zuva nezuva.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
Nokuti dambudziko redu rakareruka riripo kwechinguva chidiki, rinotiitira uremu hwekubwinya kukurusa kusingaperi; (aiōnios g166)
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
tisingatariri zvinoonekwa, asi zvisingaonekwi; nokuti zvinoonekwa ndezvenguva, asi zvisingaonekwi ndezvekusingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
