2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we to begin again, ourselves, to commend? or have we need, like some, of commendatory letters unto you, or from you?
Mbe, echamba okwikumaga abhene lindi? chitakwenda jinyalubha ejokumwenda okusoka kwimwe ya bhanu, mbe echenda?
2 Our letter, ye, are, inscribed in our hearts, noted and read by all men:
Emwe abhene ni inyalubha eswe inu yandikilwe mu mwoyo jeswe, inuimenyelwe no kusomwa na bhanu bhona.
3 Manifesting yourselves that ye are a letter of Christ, ministered by us, —inscribed—not with ink, but with [the] Spirit of a Living God, not in tablets of stone, but in tablets [which are] hearts of flesh.
No mwelesha ati emwe ni nyalubha okusoka ku Kristo, inu isosibwe neswe. Inuyandikilwe atali kwo bwino nawe kwo Mwoyo gwa Nyamuanga unu ali muanga. Itandikilwe ingulu ya mabhao ga mabhui, nawe ingulu ya mabhao ge mitima ja bhana munu.
4 But, such confidence as this, have we, through the Christ, towards God.
Niko kutyo echiikanya ku Nyamuanga okulabhila ku Kristo. Chitakwiikanya abhene chonachona okusoka kweswe.
5 Not that, of our own selves, sufficient, are we, to reckon anything as of ourselves, but, our sufficiency, is of God; —
Okwiikanya kweswe okusoka ku Nyamuanga.
6 Who also hath made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant—not of letter, but of spirit, for, the letter, killeth, whereas, the Spirit, maketh alive.
Ni Nyamuanga unu achikolele kubha bhakosi bha indagano inyaya. Inu ni ndagano itali nyalubha nawe ni ya Mwoyo. Kwo kubha inyalubha eita, nawe omwoyo oguleta obhuanga.
7 But, if, the ministry of death, in letters engraven in stones, was brought into existence with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look steadfastly into the face of Moses, by reason of the glory of his face—which [glory] was to be done away,
Woli omulimu gwo kufwa gwaliga kusong'owe ingulu ya mabhui yejile kwa likusho ati abhanu bha Israeli bhatalolele kubwambilo obhusu bwa Musa. Inu ni kwo kubha likusho lyo bhusu bwae, likusho linu lyaliga elyo kuwao.
8 How shall not, rather, the ministry of the Spirit, be with glory?
Mbe, emilimu jo mwoyo itakubha na likusho?
9 For, if, the ministry of condemnation was glory, much rather, doth the ministry of righteousness abound with glory,
Kwo kubha okulamula kwaliga na likusho, ni lwakalinga nisakila muno kwa likusho!
10 For that which hath been made glorious, hath not even been made glorious, in this respect, —by reason of the surpassing glory.
Ni chimali ati, chiliya echochakolelwe likusho kwamba chitana likusho lindi lisima linu, kwo kubha likusho eliyongesha.
11 For, if that which was to be done away [was brought in] with glory, much more, that which is to abide, is in glory.
Kwo kubha chiliya chinu chaliga nichilabha chaliga na likusho, chiliya chinu ni cho kusakila echibha na likusho!
12 Having, then, such hope as this, great openness of speech, do we use; —
Kwo kubha chili no bwiikanyo eyo, chili no bwiikanyo muno.
13 And are not just like Moses, [who] kept putting a veil upon his face, so that the sons of Israel should not look steadily unto the end of that which was to be done away.
Obhusoka lya Musa atulileo ingulu yo bhusu base, koleleki abhanu bha Israeli bhatatula okulola kubwambilo na kubhutelo kwa likusho linu elibhula.
14 But their thoughts were turned into stone: for, until this very day, the same veil, upon the reading of the old covenant, abideth, not to be removed, because, in Christ, it is to be done away;
Nawe amenge gebwe galiga gegawe. Nolwo olusiku lunu olusigala ingulu yo kusomwa indagano ya kala. Ichali kutulwa abwelu, kwo kubha Kristo umwila kasosibwao kula.
15 But, until this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil upon their heart, doth lie;
Nawe nolwo lelo, omwanya gwona gwona Musa kasomwao, kayanja ingulu ye mitima jebwe.
16 Howbeit, whensoever he turneth unto [the] Lord, he taketh off the veil:
Nawe omunu awo kageuka ku Lata bhugenyi, echisosibwao.
17 And, the Lord, is, the Spirit: now, where the Spirit of one who is Lord [is, there is] freedom!
Woli Lata bhugenyi ni Mwoyo. anu kabha Mwoyo wa Lata bhugenyi, nuwo obhufule.
18 And, we all, with unveiled face, receiving and reflecting, the glory of [the] Lord, into the same image, are being transformed, from glory into glory, —even as from a Spirit that is Lord.
Woli eswe bhona, amwi no bhusu bhutaswikiwe, obhulola likusho lya Lata bhugenyi echiingisibwa munda yo kulolya guli guli kwa likusho okusoka mu likusho okugenda andi, kutyo okusoka ku Lata bhugenyi, unu ni Mwoyo.
