2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we do not faint.
Linu, mukuti twina ili ikolo, ni sina mutu va tambwiri chisemo, katuzwafi.
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.
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 Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing;
Haiva i evangeli yetu i umbitwe, i umbitwe feela kwabo basinyeha.
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)
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 as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves because of Jesus.
Katuli zivahazi iswe tuvene, kono Kresite Jesu neli Simwine, mi iswe tuvahikana venu kuchitila Jesu.
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.
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 But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.
Kono twina ichi chifumu tuhamwe twe rongo, nji kuta kuti ziho zonse kuhitiliza njiza Ireza mi isinyi zetu.
8 We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
Tuwina muvukavo mwinkalulo zonse, kono katu pwachuki, katwizi cha ku panga kono katwizuli kuswava.
9 pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
Tunyandiswa kono katukanwa. Tu wisikizwa hansi kono katusinyehi.
10 always carrying in the body the death of 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 live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
Iswe tuhala tuhindite mumivili yetu inako yonse ifu lya Jesu, njokuti vuhalo bwa Jesu vuvoniswe mumivili yetu ya vuntu.
12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
Njokuti ifu likwete kuveleka mwetu, kono vuhalo vukwete kuveleka mwenu.
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;
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 the Lord Jesus will raise us also with 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 for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to 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 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.
Linu katuzwafi. Nihakuva vulyo, hanze tukwete ku sinyeha, mukati tukwete kuvumbwa chihya izuva ni zuva.
17 For this momentary light affliction is working for us a far more exceeding and everlasting weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
Mweyi inako zana, manyandozana anu a kwete atuvakanyeza kulema kwe kanya kulikanyezwa kusamani. (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)
Katu lolete zintu zivoneka, kono zintu zisa voneki. zintu zivoneka zenakozana, kono zintu zisa voneki za kuya kusamani. (aiōnios g166)
