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?
A buevi, tutona diaka kukitelimina kimbangi beto veka e? Voti tuba banga batu bankaka, tulunatinanga minkanda mi kimbangi voti minkanda mi kimbangi miomi mintotukila kuidi beno e?
2 Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men;
Beno luidi nkandꞌeto wu kimbangi, wowo wusonama mu mintima mieto, wuzabikini ayi wuntangu kuidi batu boso.
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.
Bukiedika beno lummonika ti luidi nkanda wu Klisto, ndandu yi kisalu kieto. Nkanda beni wusia sonokono mu thita yi lapi ko, vayi mu pheve yi Nzambi yi moyo; wusia sonokono va mbata ditadi ko vayi mu khati mintima mi batu.
4 And such confidence have we through Christ to God-ward:
Buawu bobo buididi diana diodi tuididi mu Klisto va ntuala Nzambi.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
Bika sia ti beto veka tuidi bafuana mu sala kisalu kiaki vayi zingolo zioso kuidi Nzambi ziba.
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.
Niandi wutusadisa mu ba bafuana, mu ba bisadi bi Nguizani yimona. Nguizani beni yisi yi Mina ko vayi yi Pheve bila Mina mimvondanga vayi Pheve yivananga luzingu.
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:
Enati kisalu ki lufua, kioki kiba kisonama va matadi, kiba ki nkembo wuwombo mu mona ti bana ba Iseli balembakana nkutu tala zizi ki Moyize mu diambu di nkembo wu zizi kiandi, banza ti nkembo beni wufueti suka
8 how shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be with glory?
Buna kisalu ki pheve kilendi vioka mu nkembo ko e?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation is glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
Bila enati kisalu kioki kimvananga thumbudulu kiba ki nkembo, buna buevi buela bela nkembo wu kisalu kioki kinatanga busonga e?
10 For verily that which hath been made glorious hath not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasseth.
Bila beni kiba ayi nkembo, vayi buabu kisiedi nkembo ko va ntuala nkembo wowo wulutidi.
11 For if that which passeth away [was] with glory, much more that which remaineth [is] in glory.
Bila enati kioki kilenda suka kiba ayi nkembo, buna buevi buelabela nkembo wu kioki kilendi suka ko e?
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Bu tuidi diana di phila yoyo buna diawu tuididi mu kiphuanza kinneni.
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:
Tuvanganga ko banga bu vangila Moyize, wufuka zizi kiandi muingi bana ba Iseli bedi tala tsukulu yi kioki kiela suka.
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.
Vayi diela diawu diba difuku. Bila banza nate buabu, bu bantanganga minkanda mi Nguizani yikhulu, nledi beni widi kaka wufuku; wusia botolo ko bila mu kithuadi ayi Klisto kaka wela botukila.
15 But unto this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lieth upon their heart.
Bukiedika nate buabu, bu bantanganga minkanda mi Moyize, mintimamiawu midi mifuku kuidi nledi.
16 But whensoever it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Vayi mutu niandi baluka kuidi Pfumu, buna bosi nledi beni wubotukidi.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, [there] is liberty.
Pfumu niandi pheve; koso kuidi pheve yi Pfumu kuawu kuidi kiphuanza.
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.
Beto boso bobo bizizi, bisi bifuku nledi ko, biobi bilembo monisa nkembo wu Pfumu banga mu lumueno, tukitulu mu mfikulꞌandi mu nkembo wulembo buelamanga. Kiaku kioki kisalu ki Pfumu; bu dinsundula kisalu ki Pheve.
