2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? We do not need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you, do we?
Uli, tukutanda sooni kulilapa twachinsyene? Pane tukusaka chikalata cha kutumanyisya kukwenu pane chikalata kutyochela kukwenu kutumanyisya uwe mpela ŵandu ŵane yakuti pakupanganya?
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by everyone;
Ŵanyamwe nli chikalata chetu, chikalata chachilembekwe mmitima jetu chikumanyika ni kusyomekwa ni jwalijose.
3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
Isyene kuti ŵanyamwe nli chikalata chachilembekwe ni Kilisito, chachikulosya isogosi ya masengo getu pasikati jenu. Chele chikalata cho nganichilembekwa ni wino, nambo kwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵajumi ni nganichilembekwa pachanya chipande cha liganga chachisepekwe nambo mmitima ja ŵandu.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God;
Tukukombola kusala yeleyo pangali woga kwaligongo lya chikulupi chatulinacho paujo pa Akunnungu kwa aila yatesile Kilisito.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
Ngaŵa kuti uweji tukukombola kuchipanganya chachili chose mu ukombole wetu twachinsyene nambo ukombole wetu ukutyochela kwa Akunnungu.
6 who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Nombewo ni ŵakututenda uwe tukombole kulitumichila Lilangano lya Sambano, ni ngaŵa lilangano lya malajisyo gagalembekwe, nambo kwa lilangano lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu. Pakuŵa malajisyo gagalembekwe gakwikanawo chiwa, nambo Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akwikanawo umi.
7 But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which was passing away:
Malajisyo gagalembekwe mu ipande ya maganga gagasepekwe, ni ukulu wa Akunnungu wakopochele pajatyosyekwe. Namuno ukulu wa ku meeso ku Che Musa waliji wa katema pe, waliji ni machili gati Ŵaisilaeli nganakombola kukulolechesya ku meeso ku Che Musa ligongo lya kung'alima kwakwe. Iŵaga malajisyo gagakwikanawo chiwa pagakupanganya masengo gaiche ni ukulu wo,
8 won't service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
uli ana utumichile wa Mbumu ngaupunda kuŵa ni ukulu wakupunda nnope?
9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
Iŵaga kwaliji ni ukulu mu aula utumichile uwaichenawo ulamusi, isyene utumichile waukwatenda ŵandu aŵe ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu chiupunde kukola ukulu nnope.
10 For truly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
Kwapele, achila chichaliji ni ukulu kalakala chisoyesye ukulu wakwe, pakuŵa chiiche chachili ni ukulu nnope.
11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
Pakuŵa, iŵaga achila chichaliji cha kupita chaliji ni ukulu nipele achila chakulama chichikole ni ukulu wakupunda nnope.
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Nipele pakuŵa tukwete chilolelo chati nyi tukuŵecheta pangali lipamba.
13 and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the children of Israel would not look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
Uweji ngatukutenda mpela Che Musa juŵaunichile ku meeso kwao ni chiguo cha mwana kuti Ŵaisilaeli akakulola kumbesi kwa kung'alima kwakukusisina.
14 But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.
Nambo nganisyo syao syalepele kumanyilila, pakuŵa mpaka lelo jino, palikusyomekwa lilangano lya kalakala chitambaa cho chipali, chiunichile nganisyo syao. Chitambaa cho chichityochekwe apala pe mundu pakulumbikana ni Kilisito.
15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
Nambo mpaka lelo jino pagakusyomekwa malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele Che Musa chitambaa cho chikuunichila nganisyo syao.
16 But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Nambo chitambaa cho chikutyochekwa apala pe mundu pachiŵagalauchile Ambuje Che Yesu.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Nipele, Ambuje ali Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ni paali Mbumu jwa Ambuje pelepo pali ni kulechelelwa.
18 But we all, with unveiled face looking as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
Nipele noweji wose ŵanganituunichilwa ku meeso kwetu, tukuulosya ukulu wa Ambuje mpela kung'alima kwakukutyochela mu lindala. Noweji tukugalauswa tulandane nawo kutyochela mu ukulu kwaula mu ukulu wine mpela ukulu waukutyochela kwa Ambuje, ŵaali Mbumu jwa Ambuje.
