2 Corinthians 3
1 Do we begin again to recommend ourselves, except we need, as some, letters of recommendation to you, or from you?
Mbe, echamba okwikumaga abhene lindi? chitakwenda jinyalubha ejokumwenda okusoka kwimwe ya bhanu, mbe echenda?
2 You are our letter, having been written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Emwe abhene ni inyalubha eswe inu yandikilwe mu mwoyo jeswe, inuimenyelwe no kusomwa na bhanu bhona.
3 revealed that you are a letter of Christ ministered by us, not written with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not in the tablets of stone, but in fleshy tablets of the heart,
No mwelesha ati emwe ni nyalubha okusoka ku Kristo, inu isosibwe neswe. Inuyandikilwe atali kwo bwino nawe kwo Mwoyo gwa Nyamuanga unu ali muanga. Itandikilwe ingulu ya mabhao ga mabhui, nawe ingulu ya mabhao ge mitima ja bhana munu.
4 and such trust we have through the Christ toward God,
Niko kutyo echiikanya ku Nyamuanga okulabhila ku Kristo. Chitakwiikanya abhene chonachona okusoka kweswe.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything, as of ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] of God,
Okwiikanya kweswe okusoka ku Nyamuanga.
6 who also made us sufficient [to be] servants of the New Covenant, not of letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, and the Spirit makes alive.
Ni Nyamuanga unu achikolele kubha bhakosi bha indagano inyaya. Inu ni ndagano itali nyalubha nawe ni ya Mwoyo. Kwo kubha inyalubha eita, nawe omwoyo oguleta obhuanga.
7 And if the ministry of death, in letters, engraved in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look steadfastly into the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face—which was being made useless,
Woli omulimu gwo kufwa gwaliga kusong'owe ingulu ya mabhui yejile kwa likusho ati abhanu bha Israeli bhatalolele kubwambilo obhusu bwa Musa. Inu ni kwo kubha likusho lyo bhusu bwae, likusho linu lyaliga elyo kuwao.
8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more in glory?
Mbe, emilimu jo mwoyo itakubha na likusho?
9 For if the ministry of the condemnation [is] glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory;
Kwo kubha okulamula kwaliga na likusho, ni lwakalinga nisakila muno kwa likusho!
10 for also even that which has been glorious, has not been glorious—in this respect, because of the superior glory;
Ni chimali ati, chiliya echochakolelwe likusho kwamba chitana likusho lindi lisima linu, kwo kubha likusho eliyongesha.
11 for if that which is being made useless [is] through glory, much more that which is remaining [is] in glory.
Kwo kubha chiliya chinu chaliga nichilabha chaliga na likusho, chiliya chinu ni cho kusakila echibha na likusho!
12 Having, then, such hope, we use much freedom of speech,
Kwo kubha chili no bwiikanyo eyo, chili no bwiikanyo muno.
13 and [are] not as Moses, who was putting a veil on his own face, for the sons of Israel not to look steadfastly into the end of that which is being made useless,
Obhusoka lya Musa atulileo ingulu yo bhusu base, koleleki abhanu bha Israeli bhatatula okulola kubwambilo na kubhutelo kwa likusho linu elibhula.
14 but their minds were hardened, for to this day the same veil at the reading of the Old Covenant remains unwithdrawn—which in Christ is being made useless—
Nawe amenge gebwe galiga gegawe. Nolwo olusiku lunu olusigala ingulu yo kusomwa indagano ya kala. Ichali kutulwa abwelu, kwo kubha Kristo umwila kasosibwao kula.
15 but until today, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart,
Nawe nolwo lelo, omwanya gwona gwona Musa kasomwao, kayanja ingulu ye mitima jebwe.
16 and whenever they may turn to the LORD, the veil is taken away.
Nawe omunu awo kageuka ku Lata bhugenyi, echisosibwao.
17 And the LORD is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the LORD [is], there [is] liberty;
Woli Lata bhugenyi ni Mwoyo. anu kabha Mwoyo wa Lata bhugenyi, nuwo obhufule.
18 and we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the LORD in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.
Woli eswe bhona, amwi no bhusu bhutaswikiwe, obhulola likusho lya Lata bhugenyi echiingisibwa munda yo kulolya guli guli kwa likusho okusoka mu likusho okugenda andi, kutyo okusoka ku Lata bhugenyi, unu ni Mwoyo.
