2 Corinthians 4
1 Because of this, having this ministry, according as we received kindness, we do not faint,
Linu, mukuti twina ili ikolo, ni sina mutu va tambwiri chisemo, katuzwafi.
2 but renounced for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves to every conscience of men, before God;
Ni hakwina vulyo, tuve zivahazi inzila ziswavisisa ni zili wungwile. Katuhali cha ku chengelela, tuwonda inzwi lye Ireeza hande. Chaku zimanina initi, tulileta havusu bwa zumwi ni zumwi cha kuya che zwalo lyakwe mu menso e Ireeza.
3 and if our good news is also veiled, it is veiled in those perishing,
Haiva i evangeli yetu i umbitwe, i umbitwe feela kwabo basinyeha.
4 in whom the god of this age blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that there does not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God; (aiōn g165)
Imi kuvali, mulimu we inu inkanda ava hofuhazi kusa zumina kwa mihupulo yavo. Chelo ivaka, kava woli kuvona mumuni wa linzwi we kanya ya Kresite, iye chiswaniso che Ireeza. (aiōn g165)
5 for we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus—LORD, and [we are] ourselves your servants because of Jesus;
Katuli zivahazi iswe tuvene, kono Kresite Jesu neli Simwine, mi iswe tuvahikana venu kuchitila Jesu.
6 because [it is] God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who shined in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Mukuti Ireeza nja va wambi kuti, “mumuni kauvenye mwi fifi.” Ava veñyisi mwi inkulo zetu, kuha iseri lyo kwiziva ikanya ye Ireeza mukuva kwa Jesu Kresite.
7 And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God, and not of us,
Kono twina ichi chifumu tuhamwe twe rongo, nji kuta kuti ziho zonse kuhitiliza njiza Ireza mi isinyi zetu.
8 being in tribulation in every [way], but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;
Tuwina muvukavo mwinkalulo zonse, kono katu pwachuki, katwizi cha ku panga kono katwizuli kuswava.
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
Tunyandiswa kono katukanwa. Tu wisikizwa hansi kono katusinyehi.
10 at all times carrying around in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body,
Tuhindite ifu lya Jesu mu mi viri yetu inako yonse, jo kuti vuhalo bwa Jesu vuvoneke mumivili yetu.
11 for we who are living are always delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our dying flesh,
Iswe tuhala tuhindite mumivili yetu inako yonse ifu lya Jesu, njokuti vuhalo bwa Jesu vuvoniswe mumivili yetu ya vuntu.
12 so that, death indeed works in us, and life in you.
Njokuti ifu likwete kuveleka mwetu, kono vuhalo vukwete kuveleka mwenu.
13 And having the same spirit of faith, according to that which has been written: “I believed, therefore I spoke”; we also believe, therefore we also speak;
Kono twina luhulo luswana lwe ntumelo kakuya ka chiva ñoletwe: “Niva zumini, mi linu niva wambi.” Naswe tuzumina mi hape tuwamba.
14 knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus, will also raise us up through Jesus, and will present [us] with you,
Twizi kuti iyemwine yava vusi simwene Jesu, katu vuse naswe ni Jesu. Twizi kuti kaatu hinde nanwe kuya mwena iye.
15 for all things [are] because of you, that the grace having been multiplied, because of the thanksgiving of the more, may abound to the glory of God;
Zintu zonse zichitilwe inwe kuchila kuti, sina chisemo hachi hasene kuvantu vangi. Kutambika vuitumelo kwi njihe kwi kanya ya Ireeza.
16 for this reason, we do not faint, but if our outward man also decays, yet the inward is renewed day by day;
Linu katuzwafi. Nihakuva vulyo, hanze tukwete ku sinyeha, mukati tukwete kuvumbwa chihya izuva ni zuva.
17 for the momentary light matter of our tribulation works out for us more and more an exceedingly continuous weight of glory— (aiōnios g166)
Mweyi inako zana, manyandozana anu a kwete atuvakanyeza kulema kwe kanya kulikanyezwa kusamani. (aiōnios g166)
18 we [are] not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen [are] temporary, but the things not seen [are] continuous. (aiōnios g166)
Katu lolete zintu zivoneka, kono zintu zisa voneki. zintu zivoneka zenakozana, kono zintu zisa voneki za kuya kusamani. (aiōnios g166)
