2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning again to recommend ourselves? Or do we need, like some others, letters of recommendation to you, or letters of recommendation from you?
Bhuli, tunatandubha kwiiniya kabhili twaashayene? Bhuli, tunapinga bhaluwa ja lumanyio malinga shiikupinjikwa ku bhandu bhananji pubhakwiyangananga kunngwenunji eu kopoka kunngwenunji?
2 Ye are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
Mmwe mwaashayene ni bhaluwa jetu, bhaluwa jijandishwe mmitima jetu, na jinamanyika na shomwa na bhandu bhowe.
3 since ye are manifestly shown to be a letter of Christ by means of our service, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not on tablets of stone, but on fleshly tablets of the heart.
Mmanyikenje kuti mmanganya bhaluwa ja a Kilishitu kukopoka mmakono getu. Bhaluwa jijandishwe nngabha na wino, ikabhe kwa Mbumu jwa a Nnungu bhali bhakwete gumi, nngabha jijandishwe nshipande sha liganga, ikabhe mmitima ja bhandu.
4 And such confidence as this have we through Christ toward God;
Tunakombola bheleketa genego gwangali bhoga pa meyo ga a Nnungu, ligongo lya ngulupai itukwete kwa a Nnungu kwa gene gubhatendile a Yeshu Kilishitu gala.
5 not that we are able of ourselves to think anything, as from ourselves; but our ability is from God;
Nngabha tunakombola tenda shindu shoshowe kwa mashili getu, ikabhe mashili getu kugakopoka kwa a Nnungu.
6 who also gave us ability to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life.
Pabha bhenebho bhatutendile uwe kulunguya malagano ga ambi, nngabha malagano ga Shalia jijandikwe, ikabhe malagano gaka Mbumu jwa a Nnungu. Pabha Shalia jinabhulaga, ikabhe Mbumu anataga gumi.
7 But if the ministration of death, engraven in letters on stones, was so glorious, that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses by reason of the glory of his countenance, which glory was to be done away,
Shalia jashinkujandikwa mwiipande ya maganga. Ikabhe mpelo gwakwe shiwo, ukonjelo gwabho gwashinkupunda mpaka bha Ishilaeli bhashinkulepelanga kwaalola a Musha kumeyo, ligongo lya ng'anyima kwabho. Kung'anyima kwabho kwangalonjeya. Bhai, ibhaga Shalia jipeleshela kuwa jatendeshe kwa ukonjelo gwa nneyo,
8 shall not the ministration of the Spirit be much more glorious?
bhuli, liengo lika Mbumu jwa a Nnungu likapunda kukola ukonjelo?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation had glory, much greater is the glory of the ministration of righteousness.
Bhai, ibhaga gwashinkupagwa ukonjelo nniengo lya ukumula ukoto, penepo liengo lipeleshela uguja shilibhe na ukonjelo gwa puya.
10 For even that which was made glorious hath ceased to be glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory by which it is exceeded.
Ukonjelo gwalongolele gula ushipela, pabha nnaino shikwete ukonjelo gwa puya, shiishe.
11 For if that which was to be done away was glorious, much more glorious is that which endureth.
Ibhaga shene shaliji sha pitape shashinkukola ukonjelo, lyakwa lipamba kuti sha pitipiti shila shipinga kola ukonjelo gwa puya.
12 Having therefore such hope, we use great plainness of speech;
Na pabha shitukulupalila ni sheneshi, uwe tunabheleketa kwa mashili.
13 and do not as Moses did, who put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the end of that which was to be done away.
Uwe tukatenda malinga a Musha bhaiunishile nngubho kumeyo, nkupinga bha Ishilaeli bhanakubhonanje kung'anyima kwabho kulipela.
14 But their understandings were blinded; for until this day, when the old covenant is read, the same veil remaineth, since it is not unveiled to them that it is done away in Christ;
Ikabhe lunda lwabhonji lwashinkupuganyika. Mpaka lelo Bhaishilaeli pubhaashomanga itabhu ya Malagano ga Bhukala, shitabhosho shikanabhe shoka. Pushishoka mundu alundanaga na a Kilishitu.
15 but even till this day, when Moses is read, there lieth a veil upon their heart;
Elo, mpaka lelo kila pubhaashomanga itabhu ya a Musha, lunda lwabhonji lunapuganyika.
16 but whenever it turneth to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Ikabheje, malanga gogowe mundu pakwatendebhushila Bhakulungwa a Yeshu, shitabhosho shinashoywa.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Bhai, “Bhakulungwa” ni Mbumu na popowe pali Mbumu jwa Bhakulungwa penepo pa ungwana.
18 But we all with unveiled face beholding in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Lord, the Spirit.
Bhai, uwe tubhowe twangaunishilwa kumeyo, tunalangula ukonjelo gwa Bhakulungwa mbuti kung'anyima kwa shioo, shitutindiganywe tulandane na Bhakulungwa, tulishoka ukonjelo kwenda ukonjelo guna, numbe gwa puya. Lyene liengolyo lika Mbumu jwa Bhakulungwa.
