2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? or need we, as do some, epistles of commendation to you or from you?
Mwie, twandile tandile awiawidhuvhe tubhene? Hatuwaza kalata yachagulanye hulimwi amalwafume huli limwi khashele awadhuu, ishitu tuwanza?
2 Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men;
Amwe mwi mwe mlikalata yitu gachagulanye, gosi mbiha na manyilwe nawadhuawadhu waudhi.
3 being made manifest that ye are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in tables [that are] hearts of flesh.
Namubhoneha aje amwemlikalata afume wa Kristi. Iyafumiziwe nadhi, sangasihwa nakhono amanuwino ama uhala wa Ngulubhi umwumi hagaisibwa wiwimbao zi mawe. Ama moyo gabhanadamu.
4 And such confidence have we through Christ to God-ward:
Ubhu udadamazu watulinao mwa Ngulubhi ubhu ajende ashizanye wa mwana usu Kristi.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
Angahatuyani twithe awisye hahuthi au hahafuma hulithi amanagakwe awi yamiwitu hufuma wa Ngulubhi.
6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Yu Ngulubhi watubhomba hunje tuwezye huuja awe tuatumwa vhindajizyo ipha izi ndajizyo saga kalata ilazya hala umwenye kalata ibhunda lelo uhala aleta uumii.
7 But if the ministration of death, written, [and] engraven on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look stedfastly upon the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which [glory] was passing away:
Ishi imbombo yifwe iyihali ipuzwa mmasimbo mwanya mmawe ihenza manyishiheza manyi manyi shisisya bha mu Israeli sahenya lwuthi lwuthihata maso wa Mose. Phipo yisisya wimaso gakwe, usishwa bhulafi filanga.
8 how shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be with glory?
Ishi imbombo yahala saga ihabha nu mwamu sana katika usisya?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation is glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
Lwali lelo hala hahafanyilwe usisya lwawandilo haga nuubhusisya hataishimaine ahadodo!
10 For verily that which hath been made glorious hath not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasseth.
Khamba hala hahafanyilwe usisya lwawandilo haga nuubhusisya hataishimaine, ahadodo!
11 For if that which passeth away [was] with glory, much more that which remaineth [is] in glory.
Khamba hala haha winza hagosi hashila hali nubhusishwa uwaubhuza wabhushe la wawa hali uwahweza khashele wilawila sha nushishwai.
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Khatu hwitiha esho, tunighuvhu sana.
13 and [are] not as Moses, [who] put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel should not look stedfastly on the end of that which was passing away:
Sagatuli ni Mose, ubha uje tubhanje waze wila na wila pamaso gakwe, huje abhadhu muIsraeli bhasiwe lwudti uwa humalishila hu thithya bhulawahepanga.
14 but their minds were hardened: for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remaineth unlifted; which [veil] is done away in Christ.
Lelo thibho zyabho zhapi nyibwe. pakaisiku lwawaze bhubhula bhusagalashila isha manyile ulufingano lwihali. Shabhi bhiwilwe shilwe wazi, pipho uKristi mwene iwefewa hutali.
15 But unto this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lieth upon their heart.
Lakini hata thanyunu lwa lwunthi uMose sha manyilwa, lwawawazhe lukhala amwanya moyo gao.
16 But whensoever it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Lelo umnthu pagoluhana wa Bwana, ulwa wanze lufewa.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, [there] is liberty.
Eeshi Bwana uhala. Apa pa linu hala wa Bwana, hubha nuwaushe.
18 But we all, with unveiled face reflecting as a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.
Eshi anthi nthi tubhepa palishimo na maso gasawanza ulwauweze tuula unthithwa uBwana. Tuwadhuhana mhathi shila shitukufu afume ubhutukufu afume engiga emo utukufu wa Bwana ya mwao, nashi shashishi afume Bwana, amashi pa Roho.
