2 Corinthians 4
1 So then, as I have this ministry because of God’s mercy to me, I do not lose heart.
ulwakuva uNguluve mu lusungu lwake atupeliile imbombo iji, natudendevuka.
2 I have renounced the hidden things of shame, not spending my life in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but setting forth the truth openly, I strive to commend myself to every man’s conscience as in the sight of God.
ulwene, tukanile lwoni kuvomba isa kuvusyefu inya sooni. nambe natukuvasyanga avaanhu, nambe kuhasing'hania ilisio lya Nguluve nu vudesi. looli, tujova uvwa kyang'haani pa vuvalafu, neke avaanhu vooni vakagule mu moojo ghaave kuuti tuli va kyang'haani pa maaso gha Nguluve.
3 But even if my gospel, too, is "veiled," it is among those who are on the way to perish that it is "veiled."
neke nave iMhola inofu jino tupulikisie jisighile kuvoneka, jiiva jisighilue ku vano visova.
4 Among them the god of this age has blinded the understanding of the unbelieving so that the sunshine of the gospel of God, should not dawn upon them. (aiōn g165)
ulwakuva kusalula vavuo, uSetano juno ghwe m'baha ghwa iisi iji, akupile uluhala lwa vanonavikumwitika u Yeesu. wimila uvuo, vikunua kukulwagha ulumuli ulwa Mhola inofu ija vuvaha vwa Kilisite, juno ghwe kihwani kya Nguluve. (aiōn g165)
5 It is not myself that I proclaim, but Christ Jesus as Master, and myself that I proclaim, and myself your slave for Jesus’ sake.
ulwakuva usue natupulisia imhola siitu, looli tupulusia kuuti, uYeesu Kilisite ghwe Mutwa, najusue tulivavombi viinu mulwa kum'bombela uYeesu.
6 For God who said, "Out of darkness light shall shine," is he who has shone in my heart, that the sunrise of the knowledge of God may shine forth in the face of Christ.
ulwakuva uNguluve ghwe mwene juno alyatiile, ulumuli lulimulika kuhuma mung'hiisi, ghwe mwene imulika amoojo ghiitu, na kukutupeela kukagula uvuvaha vwake vuno vuvalatika ku maaso gha Yeesu Kilisite.
7 But I hold this treasure in an earthen vessel, in order that the surpassing greatness of the power may be from God, and not from myself.
usue twe vano tuli ndavule ifikog'holo fya nhapo, tupelilue ulumuli uluo, neke likagulike kuuti, ingufu imbaha isa kuvomba imbombo ijio na siitu, sihuma kwa Nguluve.
8 On every side I am hard pressed, yet not hemmed in; perplexed, but not in despair;
sikutuvona imhumhuko sino sili papinga, neke natulemua, tuuva ni ng'haani ng'haani, neke natufua umwojo.
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.
avaanhu vikutupumusia, neke uNguluve naikutuleka tweveene, vikututwasia paasi, neke natufua.
10 Wherever I go, I am always carrying about in my body the dying of Jesus, in order that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in this body of mine.
ifighono fyooni amavili ghiitu ghali mulutalamu ulwa kufua ndavule uYeesu kuuti uvwumi vwa Yesu vuvoneke mu mavili ghiitu.
11 For, alive though I am, I am always given over to death for the sake of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may shine forth in my dying flesh.
ulwakuva usue twe vano tuli vwuumi, jaatu tuli mu lutalamu ulwa kufua vwimila uYesu kuuti, uvwumi vwake vuvoneke mu mavili ghiitu ghano ghifua.
12 So while death is working in me, life is working in you.
vwimila uluo, usue tuli mu lutalamu ulwa kufua, mu uluo umue mukava vwumi.
13 But having the same spirit of faith of which it is written, I believed, and therefore have spoken, I also believe and so I speak.
mu malembe amimike ghalembilue amasio ghano ghiiti, nilyamwitike uNguluve fyenambe nilyajovile. najusue tui nu lwitiko ndavule uluo. fyenambe tujova.
14 For I know that He who raised from the dead the Lord Jesus, will raise me also with Jesus, and set me at your side in his presence.
tukagwile kuuti uNguluve juno alyansusisie uMutwa uYesu ilikutusyusia na jusue. ulwene ilikutuviika palikimo numue, kuuti tukale nu Yesu.
15 For everything is for your sakes, so that more abundant grace, because of the thanksgiving of many voices, might overflow to the glory of God.
lino, imhumhuko sooni tukwupila vwimila umue, kuuti ulusungu lwa Nguluve luvafikie avaanhu vinga, neke vamuhongesyaghe fiijo uNguluve. mu uluo uNguluve ighinisivua.
16 For this reason, as I have said, I do not lose courage, but even though my outward man is wasting away, my inward man is being renewed, day by day.
lino natudendevuka, nambe amavili ghiitu ghisakala, looli, n'kate mumoojo ghiitu. UNguluve ikutupela kuuva vapia ifighono fyoni.
17 For my light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working out for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, (aiōnios g166)
ulwakuva ulupumuko lwitu lupepe, kange lwa n'siki n'debe vuvule. ulupumuko uluo lukutuling'hanikisia uvuvaha uvwa kuvusila kusila. uvuvaha uvuo vukome kukila, vukutupelela kuvona imhumhuko isi nakiinu. (aiōnios g166)
18 while I am gazing not at things seen, but at things unseen; for things seen are temporal, but things unseen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
ulwakuva natulola vwimila ifinu fino fivoneka, ulwene vwimila ifinu fino nafivoneka. ifinu fino fivoneka fya n'siki n'debe vuvule, looli fino nafivoneka fya jaatu. (aiōnios g166)
