2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we do not faint.
Kwa ele, ndabha tuye ni huduma eye, na kutya katuipokili rehema, tikata lepi tamaa.
2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
Badala yaki, tubelili njela syoa sya soni na sasijifighili. Tuishi lepi kwa hila, na tukalitumila lepi vibaya lilobhi la K'yara. Kwa kulifikisya laliyele la ukueli, tukajilasya tayhoto kwa zamila ya kila munu palongolo pa K'yara.
3 Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing;
Lakini kutya injili ya yhoto ijisighili kwa bhala tu bhabhiangamila.
4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so they would not see the light of the glorious Good News of Christ, who is the image of God. (aiōn g165)
Kup'etela kuchagula kwa bhene, K'yara wa ulimwengu obho abhapofuili uyelebhwa wa bhene wa ubekili kuamini. Matokeo ghaki, bhibhuesya lepi kubhona nulu ya injili ya utukufu wa Kristu, yaayele ndo mfuano wa K'yara. (aiōn g165)
5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves because of Jesus.
Kwa ndabha tukakitangasya lepi tayhoto, bali kristu Yesu kutya Bwana, ni tete kabhele kutya bhutumishi bha yhomo kup'etela Yesu.
6 For it is God, who spoke for light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
Kwa ndabha muendo ndo aghajobhilo, “muenga alalangasya ku kitita.” Alangese kuhomela mu miteema yhitu, kupisya muanga wa maarifa wa utukufu wa K'yara kup'etela uwepo wa Yesu Kristu.
7 But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.
Lakini tuye ni hazina ya ele kup'etela fhenu fya undongo, ili ndabha iyelewekai kwa nghofo ibhaa ya K'yara nasoyatete.
8 We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
Titaabika kup'etela kila hali, tisongibhwa lepi tibhona mashaka ila tijasi bhwa lepi ni kukata tamaa.
9 pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
Titesibhwa ila tutetekisibhu hee. Titaghibhwa pasi lakini tiangamisibhwa hee.
10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
Magono ghoa tip'enda mibhele ya yhoto kifo kya Yesu, yakuwa usima wa Yesu ubhonekanai kabhele mu mibhele ya yhoto.
11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
Tete yatuyele hai magono ghoa tupisibhu kufua kwajia ya Yesu, yakuwa uhai wa Yesu ubhonekanai mu mibhele ya yhoto kibinadamu.
12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
Kwa ndabha eye, kifo kibhomba mbhombho mugati mwa yhoto, bali ni usima wibhombha mbhombho mugati mwa yhomo.
13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke." We also believe, and therefore also we speak;
Ila tuyele ni roho yelayela ya imani kulengana ni khela ka kiyandikibhu: “Naamini, nikabhele nanenili.” Tete kabhele tiamini, ni kabhele linena.
14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
Timanyili kabhele yhola ya afufuili Bwana Yesu kabhele alatufufula tete pamonga ni muene. Tumanyili ya kuwa alatuleta tete pamonga ni muenga kup'etela ubhuepo bhuake.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
Kila khenu ni kwa jia ya yhomo ili ndabha, kadili ya neema kayizidi kuenela kwa bhanu bhingi, shukrani sizidiayi kuyongeseka kwa utukufu wa K'yara.
16 Therefore we do not become discouraged, but even though our outer nature is wearing away, yet our inner nature is being renewed day by day.
Efu tikata lepi tamaa. Japokuwa kwa kwibhala tuyenikichaka, kwa mugati tiketibhua upya magono hadi magono.
17 For this momentary light affliction is working for us a far more exceeding and everlasting weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
Kwa kipindi kifupi eke, mateso agha malaini ghakatuyandala tete kwa jia ya umilele ubhaa wa utukufu wa uzidili fipemu fyoa. (aiōnios g166)
18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
Kwa ndabha tilangalepi kwajia ya fhenu fya fibhonekana, bali kwajia ya fhenu fya fibela kubhonekana. Fhenu fafibhuesya kubhonekana ni fya muda tu, bali fhenu fafibela kubhonekana ndo fya milele. (aiōnios g166)
