2 Corinthians 3
1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
Bhuli, tunatandubha kwiiniya kabhili twaashayene? Bhuli, tunapinga bhaluwa ja lumanyio malinga shiikupinjikwa ku bhandu bhananji pubhakwiyangananga kunngwenunji eu kopoka kunngwenunji?
2 All of you are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
Mmwe mwaashayene ni bhaluwa jetu, bhaluwa jijandishwe mmitima jetu, na jinamanyika na shomwa na bhandu bhowe.
3 Forasmuch as all of you are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit (pneuma) of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
Mmanyikenje kuti mmanganya bhaluwa ja a Kilishitu kukopoka mmakono getu. Bhaluwa jijandishwe nngabha na wino, ikabhe kwa Mbumu jwa a Nnungu bhali bhakwete gumi, nngabha jijandishwe nshipande sha liganga, ikabhe mmitima ja bhandu.
4 And such trust have we through Christ toward God:
Tunakombola bheleketa genego gwangali bhoga pa meyo ga a Nnungu, ligongo lya ngulupai itukwete kwa a Nnungu kwa gene gubhatendile a Yeshu Kilishitu gala.
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
Nngabha tunakombola tenda shindu shoshowe kwa mashili getu, ikabhe mashili getu kugakopoka kwa a Nnungu.
6 Who also has made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: (pneuma) for the letter kills, but the spirit (pneuma) gives life.
Pabha bhenebho bhatutendile uwe kulunguya malagano ga ambi, nngabha malagano ga Shalia jijandikwe, ikabhe malagano gaka Mbumu jwa a Nnungu. Pabha Shalia jinabhulaga, ikabhe Mbumu anataga gumi.
7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraved in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
Shalia jashinkujandikwa mwiipande ya maganga. Ikabhe mpelo gwakwe shiwo, ukonjelo gwabho gwashinkupunda mpaka bha Ishilaeli bhashinkulepelanga kwaalola a Musha kumeyo, ligongo lya ng'anyima kwabho. Kung'anyima kwabho kwangalonjeya. Bhai, ibhaga Shalia jipeleshela kuwa jatendeshe kwa ukonjelo gwa nneyo,
8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit (pneuma) be rather glorious?
bhuli, liengo lika Mbumu jwa a Nnungu likapunda kukola ukonjelo?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
Bhai, ibhaga gwashinkupagwa ukonjelo nniengo lya ukumula ukoto, penepo liengo lipeleshela uguja shilibhe na ukonjelo gwa puya.
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excels.
Ukonjelo gwalongolele gula ushipela, pabha nnaino shikwete ukonjelo gwa puya, shiishe.
11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remains is glorious.
Ibhaga shene shaliji sha pitape shashinkukola ukonjelo, lyakwa lipamba kuti sha pitipiti shila shipinga kola ukonjelo gwa puya.
12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
Na pabha shitukulupalila ni sheneshi, uwe tunabheleketa kwa mashili.
13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
Uwe tukatenda malinga a Musha bhaiunishile nngubho kumeyo, nkupinga bha Ishilaeli bhanakubhonanje kung'anyima kwabho kulipela.
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
Ikabhe lunda lwabhonji lwashinkupuganyika. Mpaka lelo Bhaishilaeli pubhaashomanga itabhu ya Malagano ga Bhukala, shitabhosho shikanabhe shoka. Pushishoka mundu alundanaga na a Kilishitu.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
Elo, mpaka lelo kila pubhaashomanga itabhu ya a Musha, lunda lwabhonji lunapuganyika.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
Ikabheje, malanga gogowe mundu pakwatendebhushila Bhakulungwa a Yeshu, shitabhosho shinashoywa.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: (pneuma) and where the Spirit (pneuma) of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Bhai, “Bhakulungwa” ni Mbumu na popowe pali Mbumu jwa Bhakulungwa penepo pa ungwana.
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit (pneuma) of the LORD.
Bhai, uwe tubhowe twangaunishilwa kumeyo, tunalangula ukonjelo gwa Bhakulungwa mbuti kung'anyima kwa shioo, shitutindiganywe tulandane na Bhakulungwa, tulishoka ukonjelo kwenda ukonjelo guna, numbe gwa puya. Lyene liengolyo lika Mbumu jwa Bhakulungwa.
