2 Corinthians 3
1 Do we begin again to recommend ourselves, except we need, as some, letters of recommendation to you, or from you?
Hashi, twanji kayi kulitumbira twaweni twenga? Ama hashi, twankufira luhamba lwa kulanguziya ukapitawu kwa wayetu? Ama hashi tulembelwi luhamba lwanakaka kwa mwenga ama kulawa kwa mwenga ntambu yawatenda wamonga?
2 You are our letter, having been written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Mwenga mwaweni muwera luhamba lwa twenga, luhamba lwalulembitwi mumyoyu mwa twenga, imanikana na ibetulwa na kila muntu.
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,
Ndo nakaka kuwera mwenga ndo luhamba lwa Kristu lwalujegitwi kwa mawoku getu. Luhamba lweni lulembitwi ndiri kwa winu, kumbiti lulembwa kwa Rohu gwa Mlungu yakawera mkomu, lulembitwi ndiri pashipandi sha libuwi, kumbiti lulembwa mumyoyu ya wantu.
4 and such trust we have through the Christ toward God,
Tulonga hangu toziya ya litumbiru lwatwenga lyatuwera nalu kulongolu kwa Mlungu kupitira Kristu.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything, as of ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] of God,
Tuweza ndiri kutenda shoseri kwa makakala getu weni, kumbiti uwezu wa twenga woseri ulawa kwa Mlungu.
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.
Toziya Mlungu ndo yakatutenditi twenga tuweri na uwezu wa kuwera wantumintumi wa lipatanu lya syayi, lipatanu lya Malagaliru ndiri gagalembitwi, kumbiti lipatanu lya Rohu. Malagaliru gagalembitwi gajega kuhowa, kumbiti Rohu kajega ukomu.
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,
Vinu handa Liragaliru lyalijegiti kuhowa, lilembitwi pamabuwi, liza na ukwisa, mpaka Waisraeli waweziti ndiri kujodulera masu sheni sha Musa toziya ya ng'ereng'eta yakuwi. Ng'ereng'eta ayi iweriti ukwisa wa katepu hera,
8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more in glory?
su utendera wa Rohu hauweri na ukwisa mkulu nentu kupita ng'ereng'eta ilii.
9 For if the ministry of the condemnation [is] glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory;
Su payiwera, kuweriti na ukwisa muutendera ulii waujegiti utoza, hashi, utendera yawumfiriziya Mlungu, mkulu ndiri kupita awu?
10 for also even that which has been glorious, has not been glorious—in this respect, because of the superior glory;
Vinu ukwisa mkulu nentu uwugubika ukwisa ulii yaupititi kwanja, ndogweni ulangala wakuwi uwuka kala.
11 for if that which is being made useless [is] through glory, much more that which is remaining [is] in glory.
Toziya payiwera shilii shashiweriti sha shipindi shididika hera shiweriti na ukwisa wakuwi, kupita aga shilii shashilikala mashaka goseri hashiweri na ukwisa mkulu nentu.
12 Having, then, such hope, we use much freedom of speech,
Toziya twana litumbiru ali, tutakula pota na lyoga.
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,
Twenga tutenda ndiri gambira Musa yakagubikiti sheni shakuwi kwa shitambala, su wantu wa Israeli nawawona kupelera kwa ung'ereng'eta wakuwi.
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—
Kumbiti mahala gawu gapungwa. Toziya mpaka leru palibetulwa lipatanu ligona, shigubiku ashi shankali. Shigubiku ashi hashiwusiwi hera, muntu pakalikolerana pamuhera na Kristu.
15 but until today, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart,
Yina, mpaka leru palibetulwa Malagaliru ga musa, shigubikiru shigubika mahala gawu.
16 and whenever they may turn to the LORD, the veil is taken away.
Kumbiti, shipindi muntu pakamuwuyira Mtuwa, shigubikiru ashi shiwusiwa.
17 And the LORD is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the LORD [is], there [is] liberty;
Vinu “Mtuwa” Ndo Rohu na palii pakawera Rohu gwa Mtuwa, pawera ulekeru.
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.
Kumbiti twawoseri twenga, tuwera na sheni zyazigubikirwa ndiri, tulilora gambira mushiloleru, ukwisa wa Mtuwa na twenga tutendwa tulifani na yomberi kwa kwongereka muukwisa yawulawa kwa Mtuwa, ayu ndo Rohu.
